The DJI Neo is a sub-250 g beginner drone that is incredibly easy to use and fun.

Its photo and video capture are basic but adequate for an inexpensive beginner drone.

The Neo is not a particularly fast drone and alongside GPS positioning, it only features downward visual positioning and a single-axis gimbal that's supplemented by effective Rocksteady and HorizonBalancing stabilization.

Camera functionality is also basic with 4 K 30 FPS being the fixed 4 K option for video capture alongside FHD at 30 , 50 , and 60 FPS .

The DJI Neo has a 12MP 1/2-inch sensor, with a fixed focus lens of 13mm .

Flight speed is slow at 1.11mph in Cine mode, 13.42mph in Normal mode, and 17.89mph in Sport mode when flying using RC-N3 Controller.

There are downward vision positioning sensors with a precision range of 0.5 -10m, and the Neo can fly under and around obstacles when tracking subjects.

There is no collision avoidance, which would be useful for a drone like this, but it would drive up the cost.

The Neo is available in two kits and the base kit includes the drone, battery, and accessories.

The Fly More Bundle (DJI Neo Combo in the US ) costs $289 / 299 .
