DJI Mini 3 drops to $315
A 4K drone that Washington keeps trying to ban is 25% off, and the ones already here stay legal to fly.
In brief
A 4K drone that Washington keeps trying to ban is 25% off, and the ones already here stay legal to fly. Existing DJI drones are grandfathered in and legal, so a $104 discount on the Mini 3 is a rare window worth taking. Originally reported by Mashable.
The deal in one line
As of Sept. 14, the DJI Mini 3 is $315 at Amazon, down from $419. That is $104 off, a 25% cut.
“As of Sept. 14, you can get the DJI Mini 3 for $315, down from $419, at Amazon.”
Washington wants DJI gone
The U.S. government has spent years trying to push DJI drones out of the market, and lawmakers have made it a running fight.
New models are blocked
Lawmakers stopped any new DJI models from getting approved in the States, so the lineup on shelves is frozen where it is.
What you own stays legal
Drones already on the market are grandfathered in. Buying a Mini 3 today and flying it is still perfectly legal.

The FCC went wider
The crackdown is not just drones. The FCC has also banned foreign routers and robots, part of the same push.
Why buy now
DJI discounts outside big sale events have gotten rare. If you have been waiting on a Mini 3, 25% off is the opening.
“Discounts on DJI drones don't pop up nearly as often these days”
The main idea
Existing DJI drones are grandfathered in and legal, so a $104 discount on the Mini 3 is a rare window worth taking.
