Prime Day Discounts on DJI Drones and Gear, Neo at $159

Amazon's October Prime Day sales have pushed down prices across DJI's lineup of drones, action cameras and audio gear, with the compact Neo drone standing out at a reduced price of $159, down from $199. The sale, available through Amazon while stocks last during the Prime Day period, also includes discounts on larger drones, action cameras and wireless microphones in both the U.S. and U.K.

The Neo is a pocketable, entry-level aircraft that weighs about 135 grams, putting it below the registration threshold used in several countries including the United States. Manufacturer specifications and retailer listings emphasize features aimed at novice users: palm takeoff and landing, automated subject tracking, built-in propeller guards and 4K video capture at 30 frames per second from a 12.2‑megapixel sensor. The drone offers software stabilization branded as RockSteady and can be controlled via Wi‑Fi with a smartphone or with DJI controllers including motion and FPV options. Flight time is listed at roughly 17 to 18 minutes per battery and the company cites a line‑of‑sight range of about 6.2 miles; top speeds are up to 18 mph in standard mode and up to 36 mph using a dedicated controller.
