Black Friday brings solid discounts on one of DJI’s most accessible drones. The DJI Neo is now $159 for Prime members, which is 20 percent off its usual $200 price and a strong pick for first-time flyers.

The DJI Neo was recently removed from our list of the best drones in favor of the new Neo 2, but the original is still a great, budget-friendly option. We called it “the best $200 drone ever” in our official review, and with good reason. It’s quick, ultra-efficient, and beginner-friendly. The learning curve here is not that difficult.
It has four propeller guards for safety, and the built-in 4K camera definitely gets the job done. It is extremely light, its weight is only 135 grams. This certainly makes it easier to transport, but it also means the Neo is exempt from drone license requirements.
This version doesn’t come with a dedicated controller, although there is a combo pack for it, but that doesn’t really matter here. Neo can be operated by hand gestures, human voice, mobile app, or a standard RC controller.
