Grab a DJI drone for $159 — yes, really

When a top-tier drone from DJI gets slashed 20% for Prime Day, it’s a huge deal. The DJI Neo, a 135 g marvel that shoots ultra‑stabilized 4K video, has dropped from $199 to just $159, while the DJI Neo Fly More Combo (extra batteries + charging hub) has plunged from $289 to $229. That’s over $60 in pure savings — a steal for a DJI camera drone with cinematic quality, gesture control, obstacle avoidance, and palm takeoff/landing features.

Time magazine called the Neo one of the Best Inventions of 2024, and it’s not hard to see why.

At 135 g, the Neo skirts FAA and Remote ID registration for recreational use while delivering cinematic 4K footage. It folds into a backpack, flies up to 18 minutes on a single battery, and returns with smooth, gimbal-stabilized shots of epic vistas. The drone packs safety features like full-coverage propeller guards, Smart Return‑to‑Home, and various flying options — from voice and gesture control to remote controller and mobile app control.

Parents love this drone: AI-based QuickShots and subject-tracking make capturing spontaneous moments — kids’ birthday parties or playground antics — a breeze. Palm takeoff/landing is so simple, even toddlers can watch the show.

And here’s the kicker: US availability of DJI drones is rapidly shrinking amid tariffs and looming policy bans. Moreover, the US Customs and Border Patrol has been detaining shipments under forced‑labor claims, and DJI’s online store has run completely out of stock on drones. The picture is clear: DJI drones may never be this cheap, or even available in the near future.

This is why, for families, travelers, and camera lovers, this Prime Day DJI deal is more than just a discount offer — it’s a last‑chance opportunity. At $159, you’re paying less than many generic toy drones, yet getting DJI-level quality: 4K, stabilizing, tracking, and safety. Grab it while it lasts.
