At a time when DJI gear can be hard to come by in the US, a record-low price for a versatile beginner DJI drone is welcome. From unboxing, the Neo is
ready for take-off from your palm in seconds, while its propellor guards enable you to safely get up close. There's plenty of strings to the Neo's bow beyond its easy aerial selfie skills too you can learn more, below.

Prime Day ends today, so I'd act fast on this Neo deal there's no guarantee it'll be available after. Be sure to check out TechRadar's live Amazon Prime Day coverage for the best DJI deals and more too.

20% off what was already DJI's cheapest drone is an excellent deal. If you want a little more than the 10 or so minutes of flight fun per charge, there are two Fly More Combos; a three battery and charging hub bundle for $229
(was $289) or one with all of that plus the (screen-less) RC-N3 controller
for $279 (was $349) . Usually I would all-out recommend Fly More Combos, but it is easily possible to go controller-free for the quick flights that the
Neo is prime for, so the $159 package is still a great option. View Deal

Our DJI Neo review says the beginner drone 'is fun and incredibly easy to
use' and surprisingly versatile. Handily, it can be used for tracking shots with no controller whatsoever that's your simplest option. It can also be paired with a DJI controller, DJI's app on your phone, or even FPV goggles
for immersive flight although those don't come cheap.

It's not the quickest or most stable drone in flight, nor is its battery life that great on average we got around 12 minutes of flight time before the battery drained. However, most people will slide the tiny drone into a pocket and get it out for a quick bit of flight fun and aerial selfies with clever subject tracking when the mood strikes for which the Neo shoots 4K video or slow motion 1080p video, plus 12MP photos.

We found the Neo reliably tracks for walking, running, and cycling aerial selfies, and is a great little tool to have when you're out and about. With propellor guards and weighing just 135g, it's safe to fly close to people and restriction-free in most regions.

Is the Neo your best first drone? That depends on what you need, and there
are other beginner drone options in the Prime Day sales besides the Neo. In fact, if you want to grow your piloting skills, the Mini 4K could be a wiser alternative check out our DJI Neo vs DJI Mini 4K article to learn more. More Prime Day DJI beginner drone deals

I personally tested the Mini 4K and would recommend it to first-time pilots in a heartbeat. It's a stripped-back version of the Mini 4 Pro for less than half the price, and not much more than the Neo. The current sale Prime Day price for the Mini 4K equals a record-low, while the Mini 4K Fly More Combo for $359 is also a stellar deal, given you get three batteries and the RC-N3 controller.
