I have been a member on various of the sister sites, and also this one.
I have read about and like the NEO but have too many other drones.

I finally learned how to FPV Manual/Acro with my Avata 2 and a Pavo 20 Pro and cannot get enough of it.

I grabbed a NEO for its FPV aspect as well as autonomously following me around.
I won't being doing too much Manual mode with it, but will most likely use the Motion Controller and have it follow me around when I am shooting other videos.

I got it from Amazon, so hopefully it really is in stock.
 
Hi,
I´m also inactive, less active on Spark/Mavic/Tello Pilots forums and here. I like the Neo. You may find it underpowered after the A2 and P20. Actually a mix of them. The size of P20 with the A2 functionality (probably a little more).

Have fun with it

What I like so much about the neo is that’s it’s viewed by the public as more of a toy drone because of it’s size. Even the Avata 2 which is bigger maybe not so much. It’s a lot of fun to fly with the MC3 I think, so do the birds!! I even ordered one more battery for my Avata 2 because it has more power and there times it’s more fun. Love the hobby. I was starting to get a little bored with the hobby until I stared flying FPV, now I even appreciate my larger drones because of the neo. They all have their advantages.
 
I just don´t like the mc3. I don´t even know how it works. Always had regular controller. I wanted to sell it on the e-bay and national marketplace, but nobody showed any interest buying it, so I keep it as reserve...

Well, I did buy the standard controller to go with the neo and avata 2 and it’s great, you have the same feel as flying the larger drones which I thought I’d like. I absolutely hated the MC3 at first. Really didn’t like it at all. Now I prefer using it flying FPV because of the different feel it affords. Did I mention it really get the birds attention, oh yeah it does. I’m able to track a bird so much easier for a pic or video at distance that I’ve never had the skill to quite manage over the years with few exceptions. But what I’ve discovered is that now that I’m comfortable with it I can turn on a dime and avoid a attack of a bird if need be within reason. I wouldn’t be in that position with the standard controller in the same way. BTW this bird was very very fast.

cool pic!

There are differences between the US and EU
1: we don´t like the doo rag
2: we don´t like the motion controllers
3: we love manual gear cars
😂
For me flying drones is with regular controllers. I like them and got used to use them. It´s like I´m a former DJ. I know how to use music softwares and new devices, but for me djing is with 2 turntables + vinyls + a mixer and a headphones...

I took this pic a few months ago. The FPV RC is not yet on
Too bad, that the dji drones aren´t ELRS compatible...

Not a big fan of do rags either. Only reason I wore them for years at the gym was being paranoid about thinning my hair from using the Bose headphones. Still got my hair, lol.
