135g palm takeoff · 4K/30 stabilized · full prop guards · voice/app/controller-free flying. Every unit ships with its real flight log, tested battery report and a written warranty — from $119 (Good grade) vs $199 new.
The Neo is DJI's selfie drone, and at used prices it's close to an impulse buy: 135 grams, fully guarded, and it flies itself from your palm. Used supply is young and healthy — most units are barely-flown gifts and impulse purchases.

Grades follow the published condition standard; every unit passes the same 27-point inspection.
The Neo series has model-specific wear points that generic "used drone checklists" miss. These are the three we weight hardest:
1,435mAh packs rated ~17 minutes. The model is young enough that most used packs sit under 40 cycles — anything dramatically higher suggests a working unit (follow-me sports use), which we price accordingly. Full methodology on the battery health page.
A new DJI Neo lists at $199. An Excellent-grade used unit at $159 saves you $40 — enough for two spare batteries and a year of accessories — while delivering identical flight performance. If the drone is for client work, step up to Certified Pre-Owned for the 12-month warranty and zero-downtime cover.

The gap is small — ~$40 — so buy used for the battery report and warranty, not the discount. Ours ships tested and warrantied; a marketplace one ships with hope.
Travelers, vloggers and families who want a flying camera without learning to fly. If you want manual FPV, look at the Avata line instead.
At 135g it's well under the 250g threshold for recreational use in the US and most regions — no registration, no Remote ID requirement for recreational flights.
