DJI Neo Drone | Is It Worth The Hype?

The DJI Neo drone is finally here! It’s packed with features such as 4k video, palm take off, AI subject tracking, gimbal and digital video stabilisation and automated flight patterns via QuickShots.

I bought the DJI Neo Fly More Combo Kit to make this DJI Neo review and have been very impressed with its capabilities, offering some of the best drone image quality at the low price of £169 or $199. It really is a bargain DJI drone!

As a self flying drone that follows you, it’s the first AI DJI drone and is an ideal budget friendly drone for beginners. It weighs just 135g, making it a light drone for travel and an excellent mini pocket drone with camera too.

It’s also a regulation friendly drone and a hand take off drone. As a drone with subject tracking is a brilliant selfie drone too.

The DJI Neo Fly More Combo Set comes with the DJI Neo drone, the DJI RC-N3 remote control, 2 extra intelligent flight batteries, each lasting a maximum of 18 minutes per flight, a two way charging hub, propellor guards, a gimbal protector, USB-C to USB-C charging cable, two spare propellers, four spare screws and a screwdriver.

There are four ways to control the DJI Neo. First is palm takeoff which uses AI subject tracking and automatic footage capture to follow you our complete a number of automated flight patterns and QuickShots. There is also a custom mode where you can choose between Direction Track, Helix and Boomerang.

Second is using Mobile App Control, via the DJI Fly App. You can also use the Palm Control flying modes, but can also use virtual joysticks on your phone's screen to control the DJI Neo. Thre are also voice commands to fly the DJI Neo.

The third way is using a traditional remote control connected to the DJI Fly App. The DJI RC-N3 remote control is included with the DJI Neo Fly More Combo Set but not when you buy the drone on its own.

You have QuickShot - Dronie, Rocket, Circle, Helix, and Boomerang - as well as other intelligent flight modes such as FocusTrack which includes Spotlight, Point Of Interest (POI) and Active Track (DirectionTrack) and Cruise Control which enables the aircraft to fly at a constant speed automatically.

The fourth way is via the DJI goggles 3 and RC Motion 3 controller or FPV Remote Controller 3, for the ultimate immersive FPV drone flying experience

This budget friendly drone is seriously worth consideration, whether you’re looking for an entry level 4k drone or just want to add a subject tracking drone to your collection. It has some of the best drone image quality at this price point and

I hope this DJI Neo review for this DJI ultra light drone has been a useful drone tutorial. I really feel it’s one of the best drones for beginners and it’s been great fun sharing how to take off a drone from a hand. Keep an eye out for the DJI Flip drone in 2025.

Last drone i bought was the phantom 3... that was like 10 years ago. Amazing value now

[HeavenlyFlowers-thfi]

I bought a neo last week, it's the best

[Fov]

Imagine what just one of these could have accomplished in World War 1 or 2 .... to think there's millions of drones flying around the planet, SO MANY PIXELS OF VIDEO RECORDING.... its crazy

[MediaBarlk]

How is video qulity ??? Can we used travel video??

[davidsneyd]

Great informative video. I have been toying with the idea of buying one, and already have a Mini 2, Mini 3 pro, Air2 and and Air2 s, but still not convinced, yet.

[craigperkinssmith]

Can you use an IPhone with the controller included in the fly more pack?

[worldshaking]

I’d wait for the next gen. Neo 2.
This has potential.

[NikMan]

Can I ride a bike and the drone makes a Heli around me while moving forward?

[Chia]

Tutorial on front facing follow and side follow

[grumpygrandpa]

No one mentions it don’t like flying over water and it hates cold weather there’s mixed views on the footage and tracking still on the fence about it as I’m thinking maybe a refurbished mini 4 might be the better option

[caba]

What’s the range when controlling the drone with the phone?

[mrwoodcat]

your neo's video quality seems a bit better than other I see on youtube.. is it because firmware update ?

[bsdgffishtuna]

So if you are flying the neo without any controller and send it off to do a programmed flight; how do you get it to land if it is hovering 40 feet above you??

[Geobodia]

Excuse me, how about the height please? How hight can it perform? Can the circle/follow mode work on car movement or building for instance ?

[EricGibaud]

Good review. A pity NO 25fps 🤷🏻‍♂️ in Europe with 50hz light frequency we normally record at 25 or 50fps.. when I want to mix its footage with my other camera footage this is a problem

[hasanogulcan]

Hello mate, thank you for your detailed video. I would like the ask what is the max flight time you get untill now with Neo?

[juliancooper]

Does the phone need a SIM card and active single to operate the drone, or does it just use Bluetooth and the c cable when connected to the controller ? Thanks

[ColeslawJunkie]

Can you change the manual control in app controls to mode 1, mode 2 and mode 3 as you can on other DJI drones?

[Anarchaotically]

Quick question - how's the sound if you want to record yourself talking to the zone in short bursts? I have the DJI Mic 2 which the website says is compatible, but that seems only if I use the app?

[jwizzzzzz]

do you think the neo could handle a lightweight action camera mounted to it. Something like the insta360go (around 36 grams)
