DJI Neo, Mini Drone with 4K UHD Camera for Adults, 135g Self Flying Drone that Follows You, Palm Takeoff, Subject Tracking, QuickShots, Stabilized Video, Built-In Propeller Guard (Controller-Free)

This drone is actually amazing for beginners! The tracking is amazing and does a decent job avoiding things while it follows. It's not perfect but the drones is tough enough and can take a beating even if it does bump into something. Some cons with the drone is that it only comes with the drone itself and a battery. No carrying case, controller, or extra batteries, so you will have to invest a little more if you want max out this units fullest potential. Good news is you can still manually control this drone with your smartphone. It's not as great as using a real controller, but if all you're doing is taking pictures or getting a nice view, using your smartphone will get the job done. 1 last bonus for this drone is it's flies EXTREMELY well indoors. So if weathers bad and you wanna just fly it around your bedroom or living room, you can absolutely do so safely. It's even more steady than toy drones I've bought that were specifically designed to be flown indoors. To close out, this is one of the most versatile drones on the market at one of the most budget friendly prices.

Awesome product! I got it for my husband for our anniversary and the entire family has enjoyed it in a few short weeks. We have explored and played with it every day. Picture quality is so clear! My daughter now bought it and everyone wants the link.

The media could not be loaded. I am extremely happy with this drone. For reference, I had the original DJI FPV drone which I dropped an insane amount of money on (full regret), with the gen 2 goggles, hard shell case, extra batteries, props, etc.. All told we are talking well over $1400 (I know I know).My main reason for switching to the neo is size. I wanted to be able to throw a drone in a carry on or in my ultralight go-pack for a weekend solo backpacking trip. I also wanted to be able to pluck the drone out of the air with my bare hands without having to worry that a gust of wind was going to result in my losing a finger. This drone complete with a charger, anker battery brick, extra battery, extra props, and a few tools, all fits in the LKTOP carrying case no problem and weighs basically nothing as far as I'm concerned. For ultralight backpacking, I will fly this exclusively with my phone. The fact that it can also be used as an FPV drone is incredible (unfortunately it does NOT work with the original DJI FPV goggles or controller (gen2), which is a real bummer for me).battery charges from an anker battery brick in about 2 minutes, so I really do think that the triple battery set and charger is way overkill. By the time you finish flying with one battery, the other battery will be basically fully charged and ready to go. I am not a hollywood director, so the 4k at 30 FPS is more than good enough for me.The neo sits in that beautiful niche of ultralight recon drone. I am extremely, extremely happy with it, and the $200 price point is honestly a steal. The one thing I am really not a fan of is the DJI fly app and the fact that on android you have to download it from the DJI website and turn off all sorts of security to use it. That is a serious concern of mine, and for that I nearly removed one star.... But in terms of hardware, the softwares functionality (not security), and the joy of using this thing.... hard to beat. I already accidentally flew it into some tree branches and it was none the worse for wear.

Definitely recommend getting a controller with this. The USB-C on my phone was a little dirty and the RCN3 I have didn't seem to want to connect, so I ended up cleaning it with a small straight dental pick and it worked perfectly fine afterwards.I'm so happy I got the controller after using my phone for so long. Although it doesn't feel as smooth to control (I'm only 2 weeks in after all), the range is absolutely insane and the ability to adjust the camera settings and even have differents speeds is just perfect.Unfortunately, I just did the dumbest thing I possibly could and I stopped the motors while I was all the way up at almost max height I think. Didn't manage to re-engage them before it fell into straight concrete. Darn. I hope I get a replacement soon but the delays have me worried.

This was difficult to get sorted out and synced to the controllers. Now it is very fun and intuitive. I flew it close to a bees nest and it sucked a few into the rotors and stayed in the air. It also stabilized after a small collision with a upright branch. The max speed is good for wooded areas but I would prefer it to be faster if I was in a field. I struggle to get the data off the recordings so the subtitles block out the video. It has suffered minor crashes and been fine. I recommend the protection plan so you're not afraid to fly. You should use the motion remote controller for this unless you have another compatible controller already.

Wish I bought this one first! So easy to fly, its auto modes make capture easy on the go, hiking or the likes. It can struggle with overhangs like trees above, but in the open you can't go wrong. I live in high winds and it does well most of the time, occasionally it will be pushed, but it trys really hard to be solid and usually succeeds. For learning drones and practice, you can't beat it. It is very durable as I have crashed numerous times without damage.
