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.

First flying footage from my Neo 2

I bought my first ever drone last week (DJI Neo 2) and had some time to take it out for some proper practice at my local park earlier. It was really windy but I spent a good hour or so flying it around and trying not to crash!

Here’s a quick video, I have been heavy into photography semi-professionally for 20+ years but I’ve never really done video, so it’s all new to me!

Faulty DJI NEO 2

Finally received my refurbished DJI Neo 2 and first flight the drone started saying battery to hot causing emergency shut down so I let the battery cool for a hour or so (I wasn’t doing anything crazy legit my first fly) tried a different battery and gave it a crack on my phone as a remote btw it flew fine come back and everything

So then when I would try turn it off it would turn off adjust propellers indicating shut down
then within the second turn back on!

When I would try do the turn off sequence press once then hold for 2 secs the drone would not stop turning back on it wouldn’t even stay off long enough to get the bloody battery out.

Can’t believe it I’m so devistated I’ve seen so many good reviews about this and just got scammed buying the Eonvy AU for 360$ only to not receive a thing yet it’s been nearly two weeks still hoping it comes and is better than the Neo 2.

Hope this bad luck streak is over and done with thanks for your time to hear my whine.

FPV Neo 2 Owner. Purchasing Avata 2 with battery only

I recently purchased a FPV DJI Neo 2. It’s fantastic. I heard the Avata 2 is even better for FPV. I However, when I try to find an Avata 2 for purchase , it is always bundled with the goggles & motion controller. I already got the goggles and motion controller from the Neo 2 purchase. I’m trying to save quite a bit of money by not having to rebuy the goggle and motion controller.

Is there exist a bundle that is only the Avata 2 with 2-3 batteries?

Automatic functions

The automatic shooting functions are the absolute best feature this little flying gem has. Shot taken on Monte Labbro in Tuscany.

Little Neo2 battling the wind

Managed to get the shot I wanted in Lofoten, Norway. Was quite windy and had some warnings but the Neo2 did well!

Buy Neo2 or wait for Neo3

I noticed that the release window between the 1st and 2nd generation of DJI Neo was pretty narrow! Only 14 month.

Now I wonder whether the 3rd generation would be released soon or should I just go for the Neo2?

First drone purchase questions

Im unsure whether I should splurge for the fly more package as this will be my first drone, or just get the regular drone to see how I feel about the hobby. Anyone have a similar dilemma at first? Any advice? Thanks in advance :)

Neo2 with RC2 over water

Hi everyone,

So, i used my Neo2 to film me on my e-foil over water.

Video here: https://youtu.be/ZHC5V4fvxqk?feature=shared

I didn’t realize the Neo2 is not to be flown over water…. I had set it to follow me, front-right and high. It started off ok but then it started going lower and lower…. Actually made a better video!

Lucky for me, i didn’t lose it

Now, the question: if i get the RC2 controller and use active track, can i set it to follow me then leave the controller on the dock and foil away and it will track/film me until it hits low battery return to home/dock?

I don’t want/can’t bring the controller with me on the foil…

The lake is about 1.5km long and it’s not line of sight (there’s a curve)

Thx!

People on facebook keep accusing me of speeding up my Neo footage which is a ridiculous claim as it's unedited footages directly from the goggles and I am only flying 30 to 40 km/h

Cool case for my Neo 2

Just wanna share this cool case I got for my Neo 2! Can fit an extra 2 batteries, the transceiver, and the screwdriver as well. Really good ultra compact set up for the Neo 2 IMO.

Issue with Neo 2

I got my Neo 2 a week ago from Amazon. Flown it a total of 8 times, no crashes. At the end of my 8th flight I notice through my n3 goggles that there are weird moving horizontal lines going across my screen. I didnt think anything of it and thought it was just doing that because I was shutting it down.

Fast forward to today I go do a little follow me flight while gardening. I look at my phone screen and the same white lines I saw on Friday are there!

The drone refuses to do a palm take off saying "no subject in view" or something even when I'm standing in front of it. The only way Ive been able to take off is using the rc joystick to force a takeoff.

Has anyone else experienced this? Please dont tell me I have a $600 paperweight now.
