BATTLE OF THE CHEAPEST!!! DJI Neo vs Mini 4k

From beginner to advanced, every skill level will find the DJI Neo an absolute blast to have in the bag. DJI has made the most friendly, easy to use drone that is also capable of flying with their most advanced remote controls. This gives you the ability to experience everything from a no remote control quick shot, to an immersive fpv manual flying session.

Mini 4K dropped to 230€ in the Prime Day and will probably drop again in the next Prime Day (October) or Black Friday (November). So:
If you want the Neo, get the Neo.
If you want the best budget drone in the market, get the 4K.
As simple as that.

[Peakabike]

Yep, covered it all ! I don't think that many people need "top picture quality"...just look at how many people still use a camera instead of their phone ;-)
Having said that what really sets the Neo appart is its ability to follow you with practically zero risk to the drone and people around you, that's priceless if you're into outdoor activities!

[rahularora]

The Neo sounded great until you put up that first side by side shot and I was blown away at how much better the Mini 4K picture looked.

[donaldcarter]

After 10 years of flying various drones and quads i picked up a neo just for its simplicity. I already had the googles 3 and controller 3 for my 03 air units and its fun flying the neo with it. With that said the Mini 4k is on sale for 200 on amazon so i will pick one up.

[funkyjohnhuie]

I have the Mini 1. I love it, but a huge advantage of the Neo is the quick draw factor- You can just take it out and press and button and start flying. With my Mini 1, I gotta take it out, unfold it, attach my phone, turn on the app, etc. Not as easy.

[asclark]

thank you - I was trying to chose between these - now I want both!!!

[motomessas]

Thanks for the great comparison. I think I'll be going with the Neo for the quick shot functions. My use will be for motorcycle trips with my wife and I want something I can get in the air quickly when we stop for a bum break or to check out a particular sight. Too much fluffing about with equipment can take away from being in the moment but the Neo will allow us to quickly capture the moment without 'missing' the moment. Thanks again!

As a beginner and a father - bought the neo and brought it during my last trip with my kids.

So much easier to use, with no photographer with us — it easily takes videos/ photos of us. And I feel safer with the Neo specially with 5 year old kid around.

I got the combo … i’ve always had the fear of losing my drone so my thought process is that its just a $199 device and just replace it if I lose it haha

*To add: Been very helpful for travels. Imagine, having a baby, carrying so much stuff and add a drone, its RC and it's batteries. But being able to just bring a small piece of device that operates via phone, and has quickshot buttons really makes sense.

Furthermore, the way the Neo is built with crashguards built-in, I never had to worry that my drone might accidentally hit someone, more specially my kids

[johnmccann]

I bought the NEO since I am a complete nub with drones. I also really liked the fact that the guards were there so my grand children can be around / play with it and not be hurt. I did buy an N3 controller after a week or so and that opened up a lot more fun for us. Thanks for this video. Was very informative and helps allot.

[mssippijim]

Two completely different drones. Personally, I don't really care for folding drones or folding props, and I fly for fun, not for extreme quality videos and photos. I think the Neo is a much more fun flying experience. You can have it in the air in a minute or less.

[Jrem]

Always known FPV to be a lifesaver, no wonder DJI Neo is a great startup choice.

[thejohnboatfaithfishingand]

I'm with the guy who said both! Each one has its own purpose. I'm looking for a low cost drone for lake and coastal video when I start taking my boat out next year and the 4k looks like it's the best choice for that. But the NEO is one I can hand to my grandkids and say, "Go have fun!" Great review!

[plugthestreets_za]

THE HIGH QUALITY FOOTAGE MAKES ME LEAN TOWARDS THE MINI 4K,

[techandoutdoor]

Each drone has its own characteristics, I already have a mini 2 but I love the autonomy of the Neo, and because of its price I can afford to get one without having to sell any of my other drones, thanks for the video, yours are always so informative.

[clonmult]

I'm looking at a drone in the next few months - I think this has convinced me that the Neo will be the way forward, as I was torn between the Neo and the Mini 4k. Reasoning is use cases - whilst I'd appreciate the better image quality, I'll be carrying my DSLR (with two lenses - but it's an M43 camera), 2 spare batteries for the camera, my gimbal (for the phone) and the drone - the Neo is just way more convenient, and I can easily let the grandkids make use of it without any worry of hurting their hands. They'll go absolutely nuts on the follow features.

[EpicHeartache]

I have both these and love them both so much it’s like choosing between your kids lol they are both good at different things but they are so good

[zhoufang]

I like the durability and cheapness of the neo. Makes me worry a bit less about crashing it, easier to carry it around.

[MonaroTravels]

Using the Neo with the goggles 3 is an amazing experience, you can get it into some really tight spots that the Avata can’t even manage. Such a fun little drone

[WineWorldTV]

One thing to note is that the Neo doesn't have Remote ID. So that really keeps it in the hobbyist category whereas the Mini 4k does have Remote ID and can be used commercially.

[RonaldBrown]

You make a lot of great points, if you're looking for a camera drone, the Neo is not it. The Neo is only cheap if your only intention is to fly it as a selfie drone, once you start adding controllers and goggles it becomes much more expensive. And if you already have the controllers and goggles, your not a beginner. Great video, thanks for sharing.
