A Pro Drone Pilots opinion on the DJI Neo (1 Month Review)

Already one month with the new DJI NEO! We’re celebrating launch day with this new DJI drone that I have a feeling will be their best selling drone yet.

I bought it because it was cheap and I've never flown a drone before. Got hooked instantly and my controller is arriving tomorrow. Smart play of DJI, wheel them in cheap and make them wanting and coming back for more! :)

[EvanNakagawa]

It’s crazy how cheap a decent drone is now!! Love to see it!

It’s perfect for me I wanted to get into drones so got it with controller and the footage is akin to action cam type stuff which for now is fine but now I’m getting more comfortable with flying controls and using sport mode if feel more confident about getting a bigger drone and not worry about smashing it to pieces after the first flight 😊

I'm loving the Neo! I've tested a couple of the autonomous flight modes, but I don't really use them (nice to have if I want them, though). I bought an Avata 2 when it was released in March, so I already had the goggles 3 and MC3 (and the FPV RC3, which I bought separately). I love flying the Neo FPV with the goggles and have even started flying full manual mode. I've crashed a couple of times in manual mode, but the Neo is a TANK and has come away with zero damage. I love that I can learn manual mode with the Neo without the stress I'd have using the Avata 2 (which is much more expensive and MUCH more fragile). I even bought an RC-N3 so I could fly the Neo like a mini or Air or Mavic series drone without needing the goggles. It all works great. Such an amazing drone for the price.

I'm so late to the party. When I came across a video on TikTok of all what it can do, I instantly got hooked on it and had to find out everything I could about it. When I saw the price, I was shook. It had me like, "I'm getting this!" And now it'll arrive in 3 days. I'm excited and can't wait to try it out. I'm already looking at other drones and controllers I know I want. This will be a very fun journey for me.

4:00 thecamera settings straight from the box has the sharpness set to max, only disabling this will improve the imagequality big time

Have no idea where you saw it for $179. It’s $199 on dji store and just about everywhere else I’ve seen it. Mine arrives today and I’m pumped to give it a go

We love ours. It is amazing. We are amateurs wanting some footage from our travel. Yes footage could be better. But trust me composition, story line etc etc yada yada is way more of an issues hahahha... So yeah, would a Neo 2 or Pro be great, yes. Would I buy it. Likley. Do I need it, nope. Neo is amazing. We had another drone, cumbersome, hard to fly etc.

Great video, cheers from downunder!

Thanks for the review! I've been thinking about getting a drone for a bit, but always hesitated due to cost. This might just push me into the drone world with its affordability and easy of use!

[TuckerPearce]

Great video Chris! Cool beginner option for sure and that price point is 🔥

[basketballdummies]

Wow amazing I am getting one after watching this video so user friendly awesome

DJI learned a lot from the succes of the Hover X1. 🙂 Cheaper and more flexible. For the record, I owned a X1 and now the HoverAir X1 Pro.

As someone who had a 'DJI Mini SE', which he lost earlier in the year and then bought a DJI Mini 4K to replace it, this is a tempting thing. The reason? My DJI Mini 4K simply does not work with my Google Pixel 7 Pro, At all! It's infuriating. However, the idea that the DJI Neo works with just a mobile phone OR just the RC2, frees up so much frustration that I'm experiencing with my DJI Mini 4K. And the entry price is an OK sacrifice.

Love thus drone. I almost fly exclusively with the remote

Hello fellow GTA'er, nice to see the sights of the shores i bike by allll the time

[ericjones]

As a complete amateur that just flies for fun this drone is really appealing. I have previously had various other drones, and they either really sucked, or the other problem I had was it was too expensive. I was afraid to fly it and way more cautious because I was screwed if it crashed. This seems to be at the right point between high quality, but also cheap enough to not worry.

If you are using the app without a controller, can you use a gaming controller paired to your phone or is it limited to onscreen controls only? I already own a controller that holds a phone and would prefer that route with the app if it works. Makes it even cheaper to get into.

Great vid. People keep calling this a "beginner's drone" and while it's a great one to start with it's also a great tool for any moviemaker's toolkit at any level, it's got so much flexibility and so many control options that other bigger units lack. Sadly it's a fail on mountain bike DH trails in the woods, just not fast enough in hands-free mode, and the tracking can't keep up with switchbacks and trees...ask me how I know ;) Hopefully they'll take a stab at improving that in firmware updates before they move on the the next latest-and-greatest.

You had a few shots with a Seadoo...how dud it do following you on the water? With all the backslash towards flying over water im curious as i also have a seadoo and that would be fun to use with

[cartel]

For the price it can’t be beaten simple as 😂

[Glacchhyy]

That location is sick! Where is that located ??
