Exactly. Buy a set. These props are available just about everywhere, in FPV stores too, not only on Ali.

I bought the 5 blade props specifically to see if they would add more thrust to the NEO so that it could support the extra weight that the added bottom light (40g), the top mounting bracket (~16g), and the penlight (20g) added. With the stock 3 blade props the NEO kept making sudden drops in altitude, but with the 5 blade ones it flies smoothly with all the extra weight.

There´s also a 4 blade version from this prop. If the load isn´t so heavy. these have a little longer flight time. I use them, when the weather is a bit windy. The Neo flies more stable, than with 3 blades.

There are a few NEO 2 batteries on Aliexpress which are genuine and not very expensive if you can find a deal using coupons, etc. Takes awhile to arrive but I paid @ $60.
Is that per battery cost? They are USD $39 on DJIs website here in Canada. Is that the price you have to pay after tariffs are added?
To me, it is shocking how much the cost of drones and drone accessories now cost in the US. In the past it has always been the opposite - prices in Canada have been higher for everything relative to the same thing in the US. I feel for all of my fellow US drone pilots and hope the situation will eventually get better.

I was looking at grabbing one more battery for my neo 2, but the price point isn’t doing it for me. If I buy a $65.00 battery and then pay $20. for shipping and then $9. sales tax at 94. that’s too much. There’s many sellers that are possibly cheaper but then it’s a gamble as to the seller for me. In light of everything that’s going on now I haven’t even opened the box just yet. I got it 6 days ago.
Yes, ~$60 OTD so that includes tax, tariffs, fees, everything. Again, I think you can get a discount if you find a good coupon or cashback somewhere. But yes MSRP $39, retail $58 is not super terrible but you can buy as many as you want without having to buy the kit and then sell the drone (which I am doing as well).
Yep, that's why I took the chance on the BF deal from Ali; my big risk is whether they were OEM or not and turns out, they are genuine DJI. I'm not sure if these prices are going up or down; they seem to be doing a lot of both.
And then I might try one of these: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256810411297136.html
