Before you buy a drone, it's important to decide why you want one: to have fun with or to take aerial photos video. You can save a lot if you don't need a good camera, but do bear in mind that you now have to register any drone weighing more than 250g in the UK.
Discounts on drones are available most of the time, so check out the best offers we've found below.

When is Black Friday 2020 - should you wait for a better deal?
Black Friday will take place on Friday 27 November, immediately followed by Cyber Monday on 30 November. Traditionally the biggest sales event of the year, it may yet throw up some even greater tech deals - but with so much uncertainty around finance and retail, and no guarantees regarding what discounts we will see, we advise you not to wait: if you see a deal you like, on a product you need, and you can afford the outlay, buy it today.
