10 Best Drone Bundles of 2019

This page reviews 10 DJI drone bundles. They’re popular because they can save money, time, and frustration. Best of all is that quadcopter kits, bundles, and Fly More combos vary to meet pilots wants and needs. They are convenient because buyers get to checkout with everything they need in one go. It’s less frustrating than searching for items one by one hoping everything is in stock.

What to Look for in a Drone Bundle

Anyone familiar with my guides will know that I’m a huge fan of the checklist. It’s the most straightforward approach for making better buying decisions. Your list of items has two sections. One column is for needs (must-haves) and the other for wants (would like). It’s a simple approach that ensures you checkout with everything you need and some of what you want.

Here’s an example of what a drone bundle shopping list might look like:

There should be enough drone bundles to meet most if not all your needs. Your list may change as you start to review the options and that’s normal. The point is to get something down so that you have a starting point. It’s a guaranteed stress-free way to shop for your quadcopter and accessories.

Drone Companies that Offer Bundles

DJI is the most prominent company to offer drone kits, bundles and combos. That’s because there are so many accessories to support its popular models. Smaller companies can also provide exclusive deals by offering extra items with their drones. These are not like the beefed-up DJI Fly More Combos, though. Smaller deals may include things like spare props, bonus batteries, and a carrying case, etc.

Careful what You Buy

Try not to let the hype suck you in with an impressive display of goodies. It can be tempting, I know. My advice is to pause for thought before you buy anything. If the items in the bundle didn’t make your list (see above), do you need or even want them? There’s nothing worse than paying for a bunch of stuff you never use. Most of us have done it to some degree, only to regret the decision later.

To summarize: a bundle is only excellent value if it meets the following criteria:

1. You WILL use most if not all the items it includes
2. Bundled items are the same price or cheaper than their individual costs

The perfect drone bundle has all that you demand and nothing you don’t. But what if it has everything you need, most of what you want, and a few things you can’t use? Well, it may still offer excellent value if the things you don’t want or won’t use are low-cost items. A cable of some kind or a landing pad are two examples. Again, stay as close to your list as possible.

Drone Buying Tips

OK, so you’ve listed all your bundle needs and wants. You’re now ready to browse the options if you already know what drone to choose. If not, then here’s a quick list of things to get you thinking:

• Set a maximum budget
• Size & design, e.g., big & stable, travel-friendly, foldable, pocketable?
• Camera resolution and capability
• Flight features and modes that meet your needs
• Max flight time on a single charge
• Battery charging times
• Cost of extra batteries
• Control range (distance)
• Anything else you can think of

Don’t overthink the finer details yet. Make a crude list to start with and modify it as you learn about the different drone options available.
