DJI Neo gimbal repair - DJI quoted €75 - should I fix it or upgrade to a Mini Pro?

Hey everyone,

I made a mistake buying the DJI Neo. Flying it outdoors in Sweden has been rough, the wind drift is stressful, and the camera quality isn't hitting the mark for cinematic landscape shots.

To top it off, one day the gimbal/camera stopped working, and DJI just quoted me 75 Euros for a full module replacement. Now I’m figuring out my best exit strategy: Pay the €75, get it fixed, and sell it. (Hoping a freshly refurbished unit sells faster on.)

The Twist: I already have the RC-N3 controller (O4 system), so it's natively compatible with the Mini 4 Pro and Mini 5 Pro. My plan is to save money and buy an "Aircraft Only / No RC" unit.

For those in Sweden/Europe: Should I wait for a standalone unit to drop on the official DJI Refurbished store, or trust the local marketplace (Blocket/Tradera)?

Would love to hear from anyone who upgraded from the Neo to a Mini series because of wind or camera frustrations. Thanks!
