DJI Neo 2 is a compact, highly portable drone that shines for quick takeoffs, gesture control, and phone flying, with auto shot modes and support for goggles and FPV controllers. The drone can fly without a remote or phone for basic actions, while the phone extends setup and manual control. Range is limited on phone control, and real world flight time is short, around 7 to 10 minutes per battery. This drone only package does not include the transceiver needed for goggles or remote use, and Amazon shipping has been inconsistent for some orders.

  • The Neo 2 can fly using gestures and its own small display and buttons without needing a phone or controller.

  • Phone control supports auto-shot style operation and gesture control, which enables independent capture without constant manual piloting.

  • Amazon orders can arrive within the promised delivery window and some deliveries have met expected timing.

  • The drone can be controlled with a phone for manual operation while a controller can extend distance beyond phone-only limits.

  • Amazon drone shipments can be inconsistent, with orders placed weeks earlier reportedly still not shipping.

  • Battery life can be short in real use, with reports around seven to ten minutes per battery.

  • Using goggles and an FPV setup can require a separate transceiver that is hard to find and may cost around $75.

  • The package may not include an FPV receiver, which can reduce the expected bundle value for buyers.

Interesting. Last time I checked drones on Amazon Canada, they all became unavailable when I logged in. Perhaps the poster created an account with details suggesting a Canadian resident.

New to all of this - Is there any chance these get bricked or are otherwise unable to fly if a ban goes into effect?
Quote from kensteele View quoted comment :
1% chance.
Quote from mehoff88 View quoted comment :
These won't be "delivered" until after xmas which should tell you they are still in China. That being said, the ban coming Tuesday won't allow these in the country. I hope anyone dumb enough to buy one uses a credit card so they are not liable.
Quote from kensteele View quoted comment :

That's not true; stop with the b.s. The truth is we don't know for sure. Some DJI drones are already being stopped from entering so this would be no different.

FACT SHEET: FCC Updates Covered List to Include Foreign UAS and UAS Critical Components on Going Forward Basis
Decision Helps Restore Our Airspace Sovereignty and Unleash American Drone Dominance Without Disrupting Ongoing Use of Previously Authorized Drones

WASHINGTON, December 22, 2025— As President Trump stated in the Restoring American Airspace Sovereignty Executive Order, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), otherwise known as drones, offer the potential to greatly enhance public safety and innovation. At the same time, criminals, hostile foreign actors, and terrorists can use them to present new and serious threats to our homeland. As the United States prepares to host several mass-gathering events, including the 2026 FIFA World Cup, America250 celebrations, and the 2028 LA Summer Olympics, the federal government is taking additional actions to safeguard Americans and restore American airspace sovereignty.

Additionally, as President Trump's Unleashing American Drone Dominance Executive Order and National Security Strategy outlined, ensuring a strong and resilient drone industrial base is an economic and national security priority. Relying on foreign-made UAS threatens national security.

Yesterday, following a thorough review by an Executive Branch interagency body with appropriate national security expertise that was convened by the White House, the FCC received a specific determination that UAS and UAS critical component parts that are produced in foreign countries pose "unacceptable risks to the national security of the United States and to the safety and security of U.S. persons" and should be included on the FCC's Covered List, unless the Department of War or the Department of Homeland Security makes a specific determination to the FCC that a given UAS, class of UAS, or UAS critical component does not pose such risks. The determination includes the equipment and services listed in Section 1709 of the FY25 National Defense Authorization Act.

Therefore, consistent with this National Security Determination, the FCC updated the Covered List to include UAS and UAS critical components produced abroad.

As specified below, today's decision does not impact a consumer's ability to continue using drones they previously purchased or acquired. Nor does today's decision prevent retailers from continuing to sell, import, or market device models approved earlier this year or previously through the FCC's equipment authorization process. By operation of the FCC's Covered List rules, the restrictions imposed by today's decision apply to new device models.

Chairman Carr issued the following statement:

"I welcome this Executive Branch national security determination, and I am pleased that the FCC has now added foreign drones and related components, which pose an unacceptable national security risk, to the FCC's Covered List. Following President Trump's leadership, the FCC will work closely with U.S. drone makers to unleash American drone dominance."

Additional Background:

· The FCC's Covered List is a list of communications equipment and services that are deemed to pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the U.S. or the safety and security of U.S. persons.
· Under the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act, the Commission can update the Covered List only at the direction of national security authorities. In other words, the Commission cannot update this list on its own and is required to implement determinations that are made by our national security agency experts.
· Equipment on the Covered List ("covered" equipment) is prohibited from getting FCC equipment authorization. Most wireless devices require FCC equipment authorization prior to importation, marketing, or sale in the U.S. Covered equipment is banned from receiving new equipment authorizations, preventing new devices from entering the U.S. market.
· The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency encourages organizations to use the Covered List for risk management analysis in their regulatory compliance efforts.
· In their determination, national security agencies referenced, among other things, concerns that that foreign-made UAS could be used for attacks and disruptions, unauthorized surveillance, sensitive data exfiltration, and other UAS threats to the homeland. Additionally, the determination noted that reliance on such devices unacceptably undermines the U.S. drone industrial base.

What does this mean?

· New devices on the Covered List, such as foreign-made drones, are prohibited from receiving FCC authorization and are therefore prohibited from being imported for use or sale in the U.S. This update to the Covered List does not prohibit the import, sale, or use of any existing device models the FCC previously authorized.
· This action does not affect any previously-purchased drone. Consumers can continue to use any drone they have already lawfully purchased or acquired.

Buyer beware. They haven't shipped my order from weeks ago yet. I know the date says as much, but it's a little strange especially with the incoming potential ban.
I just got mine couple days ago on 12/20! When I placed order, Amazon says it will deliver between 12/23-1/2. After reviewing the comments here, I opened the box to check it is a drone not a brick. Haven't charged it up though. Smilie
