DJI Neo Drone Drops to $159 on Amazon Prime – Controller-Free 4K Drone at Record Low

Amazon Prime members can grab the DJI Neo controller-free drone for just $159, down 20% from $199. This ultra-compact 4K drone flies without a remote, launching from your palm and following you automatically—making it the easiest entry point into aerial filming yet.

Over 1,000 units sold in the past month according to the listing, and Amazon’s “Prime deal ending fast” warning suggests this price won’t last. At 135 grams (4.8 ounces), the Neo sits well under the 249-gram FAA threshold, meaning no registration required for recreational pilots.

Four DJI Neo Bundles to Match Your Flying Style

The Prime deal spans four configurations, from solo flyers to serious creators:

• DJI Neo (Controller-Free): $159 (was $199, 20% off) includes one battery and palm control. Perfect for casual users who want simple follow-me shots without learning to fly.
• Three-Battery Combo: $229 (was $289, 21% off) triples your flight time without adding controller complexity. Best value for controller-free operation.
• Fly More Combo with RC-N3: $279 (was $349, 20% off) adds DJI’s RC-N3 remote controller plus three batteries. This bundle unlocks manual control and extended range for pilots wanting full creative control.
• Motion Fly More Combo: $419 (was $529, 21% off) includes motion controller, three batteries, and accessories. The motion controller lets you direct the drone with hand gestures—no traditional piloting skills required.

Why the DJI Neo Changes Everything

The Neo’s palm takeoff and subject tracking eliminate the learning curve that stops most people from flying drones. Launch it from your hand, and it automatically follows you while recording 4K stabilized video. QuickShots modes deliver professional-looking footage with zero piloting experience.

Built-in propeller guards make it safer for indoor use and close-proximity shots. The 135-gram weight means you can throw it in any bag without thinking twice.

DroneXL’s Take

DJI cracked the code on making drones truly accessible. The Neo’s controller-free operation removes every barrier between “I want aerial footage” and actually getting it. No setup, no calibration, no pilot training—just palm launch and go.

The three-battery combo at $229 offers the sweet spot for most users sticking with the controller-free operation. But if you’re even slightly interested in learning manual control, the Fly More Combo with RC-N3 at $279 adds that capability for just $50 more.

These discounts mark the lowest prices we’ve seen on the Neo since launch. With Amazon flagging the deal as “ending fast” and over 1,000 units moving monthly, hesitation costs money here.
