DJI’s cheapest drone is even cheaper right now

If you’ve been waiting for an excuse to try a drone without spending a fortune, DJI may have just handed you one. The company’s palm-sized Neo drone is now available at a cool discount, with all major bundles currently marked down by 15%. The deals arrive just in time for Father’s Day, and they make one of DJI’s most beginner-friendly drones even harder to ignore.

At just 135 grams, the Neo remains DJI’s lightest drone ever. It can take off directly from your hand, follow you automatically, record stabilized 4K video, and even fly without a traditional controller. DJI designed it as a flying camera that almost anyone can use, whether they’re filming family adventures, hiking trips, bike rides, or backyard fun.

The drone’s appeal has always been its simplicity. Unlike larger drones that require a learning curve, Neo can launch from your palm and use AI subject tracking to keep you in frame automatically. It also includes QuickShots such as Dronie, Circle, Rocket, and Helix, allowing users to create social-media-ready footage with a few taps. The drone records 4K video, weighs less than many smartphones, and offers up to 18 minutes of flight time per battery.

Now, the pricing is becoming just as attractive as the drone itself. The entry-level controller-free DJI Neo is available for just $169, down from $199, bringing the drone within impulse-buy territory for many consumers.

Need more battery life? The controller-free three-battery bundle has dropped to $245 from $289, making it a compelling option for travelers and content creators who don’t want to stop filming every few minutes. You can also buy the DJI Neo Fly More Combo with the RC-N3 controller. Priced at $295 instead of $349, it adds a traditional controller and extra accessories while still staying under the $300 mark.

However, the standout deal here might just be the DJI Neo Motion Fly More Combo. Normally $529, the package is now selling for $449. While it’s still the most expensive Neo bundle, it’s also the one that unlocks what many would consider the drone’s most exciting feature: FPV-style flying.

Paired with DJI’s motion controller and compatible goggles, the Neo transforms from a simple selfie drone into an immersive first-person-view aircraft. Instead of manipulating two control sticks, users simply point the motion controller where they want to fly. The result is an FPV experience that feels approachable even for people who have never flown a drone before.

At this price, the Neo is one of the most affordable entry points into DJI’s immersive flight experience, and that’s what makes the Motion Fly More Combo particularly interesting this Father’s Day. Many dads already have cameras, action cams, smartwatches, and countless tech gadgets. A drone that can follow them on a bike ride, capture family vacations from the air, or provide an FPV flying experience is a gift that’s genuinely different.

And unlike DJI’s premium models such as the Mini 5 Pro or Air 3S, the Neo doesn’t feel intimidating. It’s small, lightweight, and designed for fun first and technical flying second.
