How Much Is a Drone in Nigeria? DJI Drone Prices in Naira (2026)

To answer the question of how much a drone costs in Nigeria, there are a few things to take into account. There’s the official price, what local sellers are charging, and how much shipping adds to the total. Then there’s the package itself. The price can change depending on whether you’re looking at the standard kit, a Fly More Combo or a Creator Combo.

Two sellers can list the same drone at very different prices. One might include three batteries and a controller with a screen, while the other gives you one battery and a remote that uses your phone. That difference matters when you’re working out how much you’ll spend to get flying.

I checked Nigerian camera and gadget shops alongside Jumia, Konga and Jiji to see what each seller was offering. Alongside the local prices, I’ve included DJI’s published prices converted to naira. Having both gives you a starting point for judging the offers you come across.

Why I included DJI’s published prices

The idea is to give you a benchmark before you spend your money. If a local seller’s price is a little below or above DJI’s published price for the same package, that gives you a useful sense of how the offer compares. It helps you work out whether the price is reasonable, alongside what’s in the box, the condition of the drone and the support the seller offers.

If the asking price is double that benchmark, that’s a reason to look at other options. Another Nigerian seller might have a better deal, or buying abroad and arranging the shipping yourself might work out cheaper. The useful comparison there is the total cost by the time it reaches you, including delivery, import charges and the exchange rate you actually pay. Buying abroad also comes with its own risks, especially if something goes wrong and you need to return the drone. I’ve covered the importation and customs side in my guide to drone rules in Nigeria.

For a practical example of comparing overseas sellers, my FPV drone controller guide explains how I bought my DJI FPV Remote Controller 3 through AliExpress. That was a controller purchase, so it’s useful context for shopping around rather than a complete guide to importing a drone.

You can also find good local deals below the manufacturer’s suggested retail price, usually shortened to MSRP. Some Nigerian vendors buy and ship directly from China, and they’re another option to compare with the shops listed here. A price below MSRP isn’t automatically a bad sign: regional pricing and discounts can bring it down. The package, condition and seller support still matter when deciding whether it’s a good deal.

With that in mind, here’s how the prices compare. Each row names the kit and controller so you can see what you’re getting for the money.

How to read the prices

The DJI launch/list price is the manufacturer's published overseas price for the same kit, converted to naira. Most are original launch prices; the Mini 4K uses DJI’s published list prices. The conversions use the CBN’s 5 November 2026 rates of ₦1,348.7416 per US dollar and ₦1,513.4012 per euro, rounded to the nearest ₦1,000. Each manufacturer link identifies the region behind the price. CBN dollar reference · CBN currency table

The Nigerian shop price is the lowest advertised price I found for a new unit of each listed kit across the shops and marketplace stores I compared on 6 November 2026, before delivery. The lower asking prices I found in older Jiji ads have their own table below. The DJI launch/list figures give you a benchmark for comparison; an overseas store’s current checkout price may be different.

The table runs from the lowest to the highest Nigerian shop price, so you can compare cheaper alternatives across the different DJI series. Each row is a specific package; the model comparisons below explain the camera and equipment differences.

What do you get for the price?

Some of these offers are close in price, even though the drones suit different kinds of filming. Here are the differences that help make sense of the figures.

Mini 4K, Neo 2, Flip and Mini 3

The ₦560,000 Mini 4K comes with a handheld controller for flying and framing your shots. The Neo 2’s palm takeoff and tracking features make it an option for personal clips where you want the drone to follow you. So the lower ₦480,000 Neo 2 price makes sense to consider if that’s how you plan to use it; for stick control, its RC-N3 package costs ₦645,000. DJI Neo 2 launch details

The advertised Mini 4K Fly More Combo is ₦170,000 more than the standard kit. The extra batteries give you more flights between charges.

At these listed prices, it makes more sense to buy the newer Mini 4K Fly More Combo at ₦730,000 than pay ₦899,000 for the older Mini 2. That’s a ₦169,000 saving on the advertised Fly More offers. The Mini 2 would need a better deal to be worth considering here.

The ₦950,000 Flip and ₦949,000 Mini 3 are only ₦1,000 apart in these listings, so the features matter more than the saving. The Flip has folding full-coverage propeller guards, while the Mini 3 rotates its camera for true vertical shooting. For portrait-format social posts, that camera orientation is a useful reason to consider the Mini 3. DJI Flip · DJI Mini 3

Mini 4 Pro or Mini 5 Pro?

One comparison stood out in my research: the Mini 5 Pro RC 2 Fly More Combo costs just ₦14,200 more than the Mini 4 Pro equivalent. That is ₦1,514,200 against ₦1,500,000 across the two shops. At this price gap, compare both before choosing the older model to save money.

The Mini 4 Pro offers true vertical shooting, ActiveTrack 360° and omnidirectional obstacle sensing. The Mini 5 Pro adds a 1-inch camera sensor and more gimbal rotation. Compare those differences against the footage you want to create. Obstacle sensing also has operating limits, so read the guidance for the model you choose.

The Mini 3 Pro with RC-N1 costs ₦1,180,000, or ₦320,000 less than the Mini 4 Pro offer. That comparison includes a change in equipment: the Mini 3 Pro comes with a phone-based remote and standard kit, while the Mini 4 Pro row includes the screen-equipped RC 2 and Fly More accessories. Add up the complete setup before deciding what the upgrade costs.

What you get with the Air and Mavic

The Air 3S combines a 1-inch primary camera with a 70mm-equivalent medium tele camera. The second camera gives you tighter framing for subjects such as buildings and landscapes. This is one of the camera differences to weigh up when moving from a Mini to an Air. DJI Air 3S

The Mavic comparison shows why I look at the whole kit. The ₦3,999,000 Mavic 3 Pro includes a DJI RC and one battery. The ₦4,200,000 Mavic 4 Pro is a Fly More Combo with RC 2. The ₦201,000 difference covers a different aircraft and accessory package. Include the cost of any extra batteries and equipment you need when comparing the two.

What the Avata prices include

Both Avata 2 offers above include Goggles 3 and RC Motion 3. At CameraJoint, moving from one battery to three costs ₦376,250 more. The three-battery kit also includes a charging hub and sling bag, giving you extra batteries for more flights between charging sessions. DJI Avata 2 bundle details

For Manual-mode flying with sticks, add the DJI FPV Remote Controller 3 to your budget. The included RC Motion 3 is a different controller. The stick controller’s launch price converts to approximately ₦268,000. DJI Avata 2 controller options

I included the Avata 360 because its surrounding-scene capture lets you choose the framing during editing. The ₦1,555,000 RC 2 Fly More Combo comes without goggles. For a goggles-based setup, check the Motion Fly More Combo, which includes Goggles N3 and RC Motion 3. DJI Avata 360 bundles

Lower advertised prices on Jiji

Some of the cheapest listings I found were on Jiji, with advertised prices that offer great deals compared with the shops above. The sellers list these drones as Brand New. Some of the ads are older, including listings that have been up for several months.

Jiji is worth including in your search because some local vendors buy directly from China, and you can find really good deals through them.

One deal that stands out is the ₦1,450,000 Avata 2 three-battery listing. Its asking price is ₦55,000 below CameraJoint’s single-battery kit, which shows why I included Jiji in the comparison.

Where to buy DJI drones in Nigeria

You can look for DJI drones at Casper Gadgets, CameraJoint and Zitt, as well as established Nigerian marketplaces such as Konga and Jumia. The price tables link to the individual offers I found. You can also request a quote from DJI Nigeria (@dji_nigeria) on Instagram.

What to check before paying for a drone

Ask for the box contents. Get the battery count and type, controller model, charging hub, bag and accessories in writing. On Jumia, Konga or Jiji, the bundle title and accessory list should describe the same kit. For a Mini 4K Fly More Combo, for example, DJI’s official box contents include three batteries, the charging hub, bag and controller. Check whether Mini-series bundles use standard or Plus batteries, and whether the unit is new, used or refurbished.

Get the best total purchase price. Send sellers the same bundle name and ask for one final naira amount covering the drone, controller, batteries, accessories and delivery. Confirm availability and the current price, especially for older ads or listings showing different amounts in different places. For an overseas purchase, include the payment exchange rate, shipping and applicable import charges.

For Jiji purchases, arrange to inspect before paying. Try to agree on payment on delivery with time to inspect the drone, or visit the seller’s physical shop if possible. If they don’t have a shop, meet in a safe public place. I haven’t personally been scammed on Jiji, but being able to see and test what you’re paying for helps reduce that risk. For deals arranged directly with a seller, avoid sending money in advance. Jiji’s buying guidance

Establish who handles issues. Get the return window, warranty provider and contact for faults in writing. For a used or open-box drone, have the seller demonstrate the camera, gimbal, remote and batteries. Resolve any account-binding warnings through the correct DJI Fly account before completing the sale.
