Activating and Flying Neo 2 in US

I live in the USA and want to get the Neo 2 Fly More or Motion Fly More combo, which is available from Amazon (from Chinese sellers, but fulfilled by Amazon) as well as straight from B&H (I don't want to order from AliExpress or Temu, unless someone can give a compelling reason other than price). After reading posts on here about bans, FCC issues, looming increases in tariffs, it's all very confusing. So before I buy, I'd love to know if:

  • I can even activate it in the US if I buy before or after 3 Sep 2026?
  • Are there trustworthy publications/websites (other than US gov) that summarize the current and upcoming changes affecting the Neo 2 specifically?
  • Does anyone disagree with the general consensus that there's little risk that DJI or the US gov will limit the Neo 2 capabilities for devices already in the US after 3 Sep, stop offering US users firmware updates or just straight up "brick" the device?
  • Are the Amazon or B&H replacement/accident coverages offered, like from Allstate or whichever provide Amazon uses pretty solid? I've gathered that I won't be able to get any DJI Care services.

Thanks for helping clear up the confusion with this.

Edit: This will be for recreational use only.
