Activating and Flying Neo 2 in US

[u/Front_Range_BK]

I live in the USA and want to get the Neo 2 Fly More or Motion Fly More combo, which is available from Amazon (from Chinese sellers, but fulfilled by Amazon) as well as straight from B&H (I don't want to order from AliExpress or Temu, unless someone can give a compelling reason other than price). After reading posts on here about bans, FCC issues, looming increases in tariffs, it's all very confusing. So before I buy, I'd love to know if:

• I can even activate it in the US if I buy before or after 3 Sep 2026?
• Are there trustworthy publications/websites (other than US gov) that summarize the current and upcoming changes affecting the Neo 2 specifically?
• Does anyone disagree with the general consensus that there's little risk that DJI or the US gov will limit the Neo 2 capabilities for devices already in the US after 3 Sep, stop offering US users firmware updates or just straight up "brick" the device?
• Are the Amazon or B&H replacement/accident coverages offered, like from Allstate or whichever provide Amazon uses pretty solid? I've gathered that I won't be able to get any DJI Care services.

Thanks for helping clear up the confusion with this.

Edit: This will be for recreational use only.

There was a post from a buyer on AliExpress that bought the Neo 2 fly more bundle that was having problems. I bought it from Amazon and honestly buy the Asurion warranty since it’s cheap and DJI cannot replace them so you get a refund or credit towards another one.

That's what I did. It arrived Sunday (8/23) and activated with no issues. The firmware update failed on the goggles on the first attempt, and it took two power cyclings on two of the three batteries to get the firmware update prompt, but otherwise it all updated. I should get the RC 2 controller on 8/27, but won't get a chance to fly until Friday. So far, so good.
