Take to the skies with DJI’s best drone deals, including $120 off Mavic Air

Looking for a drone or gimbal? DJI’s Summer Sale means up to three-figure discounts on some of the company’s most popular products, including the DJI Mavic Air, Mavic 2 Zoom, and Ronin-S gimbal. The discounts are good from June 7 through June 16. However, if you miss these deals, there are always Black Friday drone deals to look forward to.

The Mavic Air’s small size, stabilized camera, and intelligent flight options earned the quadcopter one of Digital Trends’ highest drone review scores. Obstacle avoidance and the lower price point makes the Mavic Air one of DJI’s more popular options for done newbies. Originally priced at $799, the sale drops the price to $679.

The drone is also discounted as part of the Fly More Combo at $879 — which adds two batteries, extra propellers, charging hub, a car charger and a shoulder bag along with what’s already included with the drone.

DJI also shaved $100 off the more advanced Mavic 2 Zoom, another drone we found to be very impressive. The drone brings a 24 to 48mm zoom lens to the series, along with upgraded tracking and object avoidance tech. The quadcopter can hit top speeds of 44 mph.

Sitting on the opposite end of the price range, the Tello drone is only $89 with the sale. Designed for kids, the Tello drone teaches kids to code by letting them program their own flight tricks. The sale takes $10 off the already affordable drone.

For getting a pilot’s view with two feet on the ground, the DJI Goggles RE (Racing Edition) are now $449, a $100 discount. The FPV goggles deliver 1080p video connected to a Mavic drone.

The Ronin-S, DJI’s first single-handle gimbal for DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, is quite possibly the best gimbal we’ve ever tested. It gets a significant $150 price drop, bringing the stabilizer to just $649. The Ronin-S offers three-axis stabilization for interchangeable lens cameras, along with programmable shooting modes for time-lapses, panoramas, and tracking subjects. The Ronin-S Essentials kit, a trimmed-down version of the gimbal without all the accessories, is also available for just $449.

If you prefer shooting video with a phone, the DJI Osmo Mobile 2 smartphone gimbal has also received a discount, with its price dropping to $109. Along with stabilizing the shot, the gimbal offers physical controls for settings like ISO and shutter speed.

The DJI Summer Sale continues through the end of the day (PDT) on June 16. Prices are good at DJI’s online and flagship stores, as well as authorized retailers, including Amazon.

DJI Mini Pro 4 leak appears to reveal the drone’s specs
A retail box apparently showing DJI's upcoming Mini Pro 4 drone.

DJI appears close to unveiling the Mini 4 Pro, the successor to the Mini 3 Pro that launched in May last year.

First, as a reminder, DJI’s smallest and lightest “Pro” drone tips the scales at just 249 grams, a carefully considered move as it’s just 1 gram below the drone weight category that involves having to register it with the authorities. Sure, that’s no great hardship for most folks, but the fewer hoops you have to jump through to get your bird in the sky, the better.

GoPro: Introducing HERO12 Black | Everything You Need to Know

GoPro is back with the latest iteration of its popular action camera. The new GoPro Hero 12 Black is the kind of solid piece of kit we’ve come to expect from a company that’s been in the game for years. That’s actually created a bit of a problem for GoPro, with many customers happy to hang onto their current model rather than upgrade. So it'll be hoping the latest version will be attractive enough to prompt a wave of purchases among current owners, while at the same time attracting a bunch of first-time buyers, too.

How to hide photos on your Android phone or tablet
Google Photos

While modern smartphones are quite secure as long as they remain locked with a passcode or biometrics like a fingerprint, by default those features only protect the front door. If someone picks up your phone while it's unlocked, there aren't typically any barriers that will keep them out of exploring everything from your contacts and emails to your photos.

This can be particularly challenging when it comes to photos, since those are the things we like to show off the most from our phones. We've likely all had those moments when we want to show a friend or co-worker a funny cat meme, so we hand over our phone and trust that they won't swipe right and see the photo of the hairy mole that we sent to our doctor that morning.
