DJI Neo review: I’ve been eagerly awaiting this portable and affordable drone, but is it still worth spending $200 on?
- The DJI Neo is a budget-friendly drone at $199, that is lightweight at 249 grams, making it easily portable. This drone has an impressive image capture capability with micromotor stabilization which helps correct horizon tilt and some shake. It can fly up to 18 minutes in optimal conditions. Users can transfer their footage to their phone via a Wi-Fi connection on the DJI Fly app by which audio from the phone can also be recorded and synced with the footage. Its automatic flight modes and smart features make filming and capturing cinematic footage that much easier. It doesn't have obstacle avoidance, so it might be safe to fly indoors rather than outdoors in moderate winds. However, it performs well in stable wind conditions.
- While it might not be the ideal drone for photographers looking for professional camera quality, it does offer above-average image capture capabilities at moderate price points.
- The DJI Neo falls behind in battery life with 18 minutes of maximum flight time. Its features and limited flight time make it suitable for beginners and casual vloggers.
- It comes with internal storage of 22GB which eliminates the need for memory cards. Its small size with propeller cages allows for safe indoor flying. The DJI Neo comes equipped with intelligent flight modes like QuickShots, which gives a choice of pre-programmed flight paths, making it easy to capture cinematic footage without needing manual flight skills.
- Compared to other DJI alternatives like HoverAir X1 or DJI Mini 4 Pro, the DJI Neo is priced lower and more affordable. Being environmentally conscious, drones under 250 grams don't require FAA registration for U.S. pilots.
- The DJI Neo is available for purchase at $199 from a variety of sellers, and there is a DJI Neo Fly More Combo for $289 available, which offers more batteries and a two-way charging hub.
