Get the Neo for $159 in Amazon Prime Big Deals

[msinger]

For a limited time, the Neo is available for only $159 here on Amazon during the Prime Big Deals.

Thinking about a backup.....but NEO 2 is apparently coming soon.

Typical DJI. They always have something newer and better right around the corner.

The good news is unlike the Avata 1 & 2, at first blush it appears hopeful the NEO 2 will reuse many of the same/similar accessories from the NEO 1 including the connectors, goggles, and maybe even batteries.

(Whistle) That is a good deal!

I was thinking about getting one, but after some research, the Neo 2 rumors suggest a 1 inch sensor and better stability. So think I will wait. Everyone complains about the low image quality on the current version. DJI always seems to be lurking around to common customer wishes of improvement and responds quickly.

BEWARE: Neither Amazon LLC nor DJI are selling any DJI drones on Amazon.
These are all Third Party SCAM Sellers on Amazon Marketplace with horrible CRITICAL reviews, where your only recourse is Amazon's worthless A to Z Guarantee, where Amazon is the arbiter and gives the seller every benefit of the doubt. Good luck trying to get your money back!

Yep. Got one for myself. Almost ordered a mini 3 for the sale price it’s hard to pass up, too. In fact I ordered it—-thought about it—then cancelled it.

I don't share scam deals.

While I can't confirm exactly who the seller is (it appears to be a company in China), this one definitely isn't a scam. And if you decide to return your purchase for any reason, it'll be super easy since it's fulfilled by Amazon.

The Neo has a decent camera for a beginner drone and the price is excellent. I actually bought one new on eBay for $135. With RC-N3 controller & Fly more kit(extra batteries & charging bank). It will still run you $300-$350 so the Mini 4K with its better optics should be considered as well for most people. In my instance I wanted a near indestructible drone to fly with my 7 y/o twins so I stuck with the Neo and haven't regretted it at all.

The Neo 2 will not feature a 1 inch sensor but it will have an improved camera, and longer flight time. The down side of the Neo 2 is that it will be more expensive to start and if reports are correct it may not include O4 transmission without an added module(more $).

But will it be released in the US?

Almost with certainty it will not be released in the US but at this point, that's not an impediment for me.

Just an FYI mine was fulfilled by Amazon and same day delivery is extremely rare living here in the sticks of eastern NC (5 traffic lights and 18k population in the whole county).

With all due respect, this isn't just one third party seller on Amazon Marketplace. Amazon changes which Third Party Seller based upon the configuration being sold, and whoever is up next for Scam Sellers, once they burn through the first one. Amazon fulfillment means nothing when it is a 3rd Party Seller purchase you are making, covered ONLY by the A to Z Guarantee, not the real Amazon Guarantee, which requires it must be shipped and sold by Amazon LLC. Please read all the critical reviews of each of the sellers you are linking to on Amazon's Marketplace. They are HORRIBLE! Amazon is then putting strikeout over the horrible reviews, so they do not count in the review summary. Amazon is in cahoots with these Scam Sellers. Amazon continues to promote them and refuses to remove them when they prove to be complete scammers.

Amazon is also deceiving everyone into believing they are buying from the DJI Store with a very prominent link to DJI's previous DJI Store that hasn't sold anything on Amazon in over a year! DJI does not sell anything anymore through Amazon, and Amazon LLC itself is also not selling any DJI drones, and hasn't in over a year!

Will you get what you ordered from a third party scam seller "fulfilled by Amazon?" Maybe. If you don't, like all the Critical Reviews of these linked 3rd Party Scam Sellers are reporting, good luck on getting the problem corrected through the A to Z Guarantee! Seller will say they never received your merchandise, or will find any number of other excuses to delay your refund, and Amazon always takes the scammy seller's side as the final arbiter. Plan to spend hours a day for weeks trying to get Amazon to help you.
I am speaking from my own experience.
You have been warned.
Caveat emptor!

There was indeed only one 3rd party seller in the buy box when I created this thread. But, yes, now that Amazon Prime Big Deals is over, you're correct that Amazon is now cycling the buy box to show the best available price since nobody is selling at that low price of $159.

This particular 3rd party seller didn't have terrible reviews. You'll often find official DJI dealers among the sellers listed in Amazon's Marketplace. For example, Adorama is included on this listing.

The great thing about Amazon is you can choose exactly who you want to buy from. Just because some people don't take the time to fully understand how Amazon works doesn't make it a bad or unsafe place to shop.

You would have if you took advantage of the deal before it expired. Check out the post from @4 inch pistons above.

It actually sounds like you're speaking from your general experience buying from 3rd party sellers on Amazon who handle their own shipping. I know you're trying to be helpful, but that experience doesn't apply to this specific deal.

That said, I'm not trying to convince you. I'm only pointing out that your understanding of how Amazon works isn't entirely accurate.

I did not order the NEO but I went for a similar DJI product so I can let everyone know the details on what it's like to deal with an unknown 3rd party thru Amazon; I will share my experience:

Post in thread 'Mavic 4 Pro batteries'

Yesterday at 9:15 PM

I decided to give this a shot for several reasons, I didn't see M4P battery prices coming down but in fact, going up. During Prime days, Amazon added another seller that I thought would be more reputable and even though the ship times are longer, they still claim shipping is from Amazon so I should not have to worry about tariffs or customs issues. I also had an AMEX deal thru Amazon....so I used it. BTW, I probably won't mind if this is a clone battery because for me, however many batteries you want to own, it's probably ok for one of those to be non-OEM because who uses all their...
