DJI Neo, Mini Drone with 4K UHD Camera for Adults, 135g Self Flying Drone that Follows You, Palm Takeoff, Subject Tracking, QuickShots, Stabilized Video, Built-In Propeller Guard (Controller-Free)

Really impressed with the DJI Neo. It’s properly easy to use, even if you’re not a drone expert. The palm take-off works really well and the controller-free setup makes it feel much less intimidating than older drones I’ve owned. The tracking is great and it follows you smoothly without constant input. QuickShots are a nice touch too and make it easy to get good footage without spending ages messing with settings. The video is sharp and the stabilisation does a great job, even when you’re moving. It also feels well protected. The built-in propeller guards are ideal for peace of mind, especially when using it in tighter spaces or around people, and it’s been very stable in flight. For the size and price, it’s a cracking bit of kit.

An excellent quality , extremely lightweight drone with a lot of features , it's very easy to control by mobile phone , i love the follow me feature, it looks stunning in 4k footage and the drone is surprisingly stable with excellent clear 4K footage. It's very easy to operate , the built in storage feature is good and it's easy to transfer footage to mobile phone using the DJI App. Although lightweight, it's quite a robust little drone that hovers well in slightly windy conditions, if wind gets bad then it can struggle , also dark footage deep in the forest isn't as good as recording in open , bright spaces but the footage overall is very good. It's good to record selfies, group self-esteem, hiking and camping trips and it fits easily in a backpack and adds little weight or takes up little space, so it's a very portable drone for travel, not much over 100g so it's very lightweight at around 135g. Battery life is limited at around 16 minutes , extra batteries are a good option to extend flight time but can be expensive. The drone has excellent functionality and flight features , it can literally take off from the palm of my hand and follow me along forest trails which is excellent. A lightweight, compact drone that is easy to control and command , excellent for outdoor footage in bright conditions, struggles a tad in Windy conditions but definitely an excellent bit of kit for making videos as the footage is very good.

I bought the DJI Neo Mini a while ago but didn’t get to fly it for ages due to constant windy weather. Finally gave it a proper test—and wow, I’m impressed! Despite its tiny size, it handled surprisingly well even in moderate wind. Setup was quick, and the palm takeoff feature is a nice touch. The 4K video is crisp, and the AI subject tracking works like a charm. It’s lightweight, easy to carry, and perfect for spontaneous flights. Great value for the price—definitely not just a toy

I purchased the DJI Neo back in October and have been flying it regularly for the past six months. As a previous DJI Mavic Mini owner, I was intrigued by the Neo's controller-free concept, extreme portability, and promises of self-flying capabilities. While it delivers on some fronts, there are definite trade-offs to be aware of. Portability & Design – Almost Perfect: The Neo is incredibly lightweight (around 135g as advertised) and feels surprisingly durable, especially with its built-in propeller guards – a great feature for peace of mind. It’s super portable, living up to its 'mini drone' name. However, a significant oversight is the lack of any included carry case or even a basic protective sleeve. For a drone designed to be taken anywhere, this feels like a miss, and you'll need to factor in an extra purchase for transport. Ease of Use, App & Connectivity: The Neo is genuinely easy to use, and features like Palm Takeoff are intuitive. DJI has made app access easier here compared to some of their older systems, and crucially for me, the Neo offers good Android support – a big plus as my old Mavic Mini had lost app updates and didn't support Android well towards the end. The promise of ongoing app updates for the Neo is reassuring. That said, as with many DJI apps, there can still be a bit of a learning curve or occasional quirkiness. Flight Performance – Tracking & Noise Issues: Flying the Neo is generally a pleasant experience. The 'Follow You' subject tracking is a neat idea and works reasonably well, though I’d rate its reliability around 7 out of 10 times; it does occasionally lose the subject. A more noticeable issue is the noise. For such a small device, it's surprisingly loud – in my opinion, noticeably noisier than my old Mavic Mini. Camera & Footage Quality – The Biggest Compromise: This is where the Neo falls short of my expectations, especially compared to older DJI models. While it boasts a 4K UHD camera, the actual quality of both photos and videos is, frankly, a step down from my older Mavic. The footage is stabilized, but the overall clarity and richness just aren't on par. The images and videos look acceptable, even good, when viewed on small screens like a mobile phone or a small laptop. However, if you plan to display your footage on anything larger than a 24-inch monitor, the quality limitations become very apparent, appearing quite poor. This significantly limits its use for more serious videography or for those who enjoy viewing their drone shots on larger displays. Who is the DJI Neo For? The DJI Neo shines in its portability, ease of use, and modern app support (especially for Android users). If you want an ultra-light, controller-free drone for quick, casual shots primarily for social media or mobile viewing, and you value simplicity and future updates over top-tier image quality, the Neo could be a contender. The built-in guards also make it feel a bit more robust for beginners. However, if you're expecting the kind of image quality DJI is traditionally known for, especially for viewing on larger screens, or if drone noise is a concern, you might be disappointed. The inconsistent subject tracking and the lack of an included case are also notable drawbacks. It's an interesting concept, but one that comes with significant compromises compared to some of DJI's more established lines.

Amazing Drone, perfect for hikers, Instagram, social media. Not amazing in windy conditions- but quality of recording is awesome. the 8 tricks it can do make for a really professional video. The person tracking is great, and this works for running too. Recommend a second battery (17 mins of flight) - but you can recharge from a battery pack between recordings and it charges the relatively small battery pretty fast. They do offers with 2nd batteries and a charger - depends on what you want. Can't fly mega fay away- but can be controlled from your phone to about 25/30 m really. Careful not to fly it out of range where you can't get signal back - it will just hover - then land (e.g. in a lake/ off a cliff) if the battery gets low. It does not return to you when battery hits a limit. But this is a fantastic rugged TINY drone that takes no time to get used to. use the app on the phone to set all the variables- but you can then fly it without the phone on the quick menu built in. Drone tells you all the settings it has from a one button cycle on the top

Ich muss sagen: Die DJI Neo hat mich echt positiv überrascht. Eigentlich wollte ich nur eine kleine Spaßdrohne, die man schnell mal mitnimmt, wenn man unterwegs ist. Aber schon beim ersten Flug habe ich gemerkt, dass hier viel mehr drinsteckt, als man auf den ersten Blick denkt. Mit ihren gerade mal 135 Gramm ist sie superleicht und fühlt sich fast schon spielerisch an – trotzdem wirkt sie robust, vor allem dank des integrierten Propellerschutzes. Ich habe sie auch schon drinnen ausprobiert, und selbst da fliegt sie sich erstaunlich stabil. Gerade für Einsteiger ist das perfekt, weil man nicht ständig Angst haben muss, gleich was kaputt zu machen. Die Steuerung ist sehr flexibel. Man kann sie klassisch mit dem Controller fliegen, übers Handy steuern oder sogar per Sprachbefehl starten lassen. Am beste finde ich aber, dass sie auch mit den DJI Goggles (FPV Brille) funktioniert. Damit bekommt man sofort ein richtig gutes FPV-Feeling – perfekt, um erste Schritte in diese Richtung zu machen, ohne direkt viel Geld für eine teure FPV-Drohne auszugeben. Ich nutze die Neo inzwischen oft als kleine Übungsdrohne für FPV und finde, dafür ist sie wirklich ideal. Die Kamera ist für die Größe absolut in Ordnung. Klar, bei wenig Licht merkt man die Grenzen, aber bei Tageslicht bekommt man richtig schöne 4K-Aufnahmen. Vor allem für Social Media oder Urlaubsvideos reicht das vollkommen. Die QuickShot-Funktionen wie Dronie oder Orbit machen richtig Spaß, weil man damit ganz ohne Übung kleine „Wow“-Clips hinbekommt. Auch die Bildstabilisierung funktioniert erstaunlich gut. RockSteady 3.0 und HorizonBalancing sorgen dafür, dass die Videos nicht wackeln, selbst wenn’s mal ein bisschen windiger wird. Die Flugzeit von knapp 18 Minuten ist auch okay – für so eine kleine Drohne mehr als ausreichend. Und praktisch ist auch der interne Speicher mit 22 GB, da passt schon einiges drauf. Unterm Strich: Für mich ist die DJI Neo eine kleine Überraschung. Sie ist leicht, macht Spaß, ist einfach zu bedienen und bietet trotzdem viele clevere Funktionen. Wer gerade in die Drohnenwelt einsteigen will oder mal das FPV-Fliegen ausprobieren möchte, ist hier bestens aufgehoben. Ich gebe ganz klar 5 Sterne und kann sie jedem empfehlen, der eine unkomplizierte, spaßige Drohne sucht.

Already own a sub 250 gram drone with a 4K camera and 3-axis gimble so... Did extensive research prior to purchasing the DJI Neo by reading/watching lots of reviews. After a few days toying with it, I am 110% sold. Nope by no means is it perfect yet IMHO, the positive far outweigh the negatives. Build quality is first rate in my opinion so should stand up fairly well. Props are well protected, battery latches firmly into place, has a camera guard/cover, power and mode control buttons are top mounted, has voice prompts, available in a "Fly More Combo" kit, etc. Super small footprint yet packs a punch. Multifunction in that it can be flown w/o a phone or RC controller, with a mobile phone, and/or with the DJI RC-N3 remote controller. Has palm takeoff and landing, voice control, AI subject tracking and quickshots, etc. Compared to other drones equipped with a single axis gimble, DJI stabilization technology really does a great job in keeping the footage smooth. I've gotten between 11-13 minutes of battery runtime so we are OK with that. My only real complaint(s) would have to be the limited onboard (non-removable/upgradable) storage. Although 22GB seems fairly ample so far it is an odd choice for such a device... To download footage requires plugging the drone into a device, no battery/power-on needed.

It's my first drone, I am happy with it. I use my phone to control it and the range is quite good

Tout d’abord, je tiens à spécifier que mon avis, se base sur la comparaison, entre ce produit, et quelques autres, de la même gamme, soit très peu par rapport à l’offre sur le sur le marché. Vous pensez peut-être acheter un jouet, détrompez-vous ! Ce petit Quadcopter est une super réussite, de quoi rendre jaloux tous ceux qui construisent eux-mêmes leurs modèles. Hormis peut-être quelques petits réglages, je ne vois absolument aucun point négatif. Ce drone est abouti, super polyvalent, abordable, fiable, et avec une bonne autonomie. Je ne fais pas de pub pour la marque en particulier, et je ne suis pas associé ou sponsoriser de quelques manières que ce soit, mais je dois admettre qu’ils ont réussi à mettre au point ce que je n’attendais personnellement pas de cette marque et à ce prix-là. Que vous l’achetiez tel quel et le contrôler avec votre téléphone ou que vous opter pour l’ensemble complet, vous serez satisfait de ce qu’il a à proposer. Je ne suis personnellement pas Vlogger, mais quand même testé les fonctions qui s’y rapportent sans m’y attarder. Cependant, je l’utilise en FPV avec le contrôle. Motion Qui fonctionne réellement bien. Et là, ce petit drone à moins de 200 € se transforme en petit bolide immersif et très facile à manier. J’ai personnellement opté pour les goggle d’entrée de gamme que je trouve très bien, mais propose en moins de fonction que la version classique. Le système de contrôle dit « motion » « classique. Le système de contrôle dit « motion » et réellement surprenant tellement cela fonctionne bien et c’est facile, alors que je n’étais absolument pas convaincu. Compter entre 10 et 15 minutes d’autonomie, voir plus en fonction de votre manière de piloter et du vent qui est un facteur majeur concernant l’autonomie en vol. La caméra offre également une définition surprenante dans le bon sens du terme et équipé d’un système de stabilisation qui vous permet d’avoir un enregistrement sans vibration. Vous obtiendrez jusqu’à une résolution de 4k à 30 images seconde ou 1080 à 60 image par seconde. Si vous planifiez ce type d’achat pour cet été, je pense que vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés. Je tiens à insister sur le fait qu’il existe peut-être un équivalent chez les autres fabricants proposant des fonctions identiques. Mais je n’ai pas l’occasion de pouvoir tous les tester et donc mon avis qu’un considérer comme basé sur une comparaison, de très peu de produits aux caractéristiques similaires. Dès lors, n’hésitez pas à vous renseigner pour avoir une vue d’ensemble sur les différents modèle. Ma configuration : DJi Neo + Google N3 + DJI motion, pour une utilisation en FPV.

Amazing drone for the price. Videos are great for social media. Because of small size it can have a bit of struggle against a lot of wind.
