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

I am new to the drone hobby. This drone is fantastic and I love it. There are quite a few things I would have liked to have known before I got started. Firstly I wish I bought the "DJI Neo Motion Fly More Combo" which includes batteries, FPV (First Person View) googles and the joystick style controller (which is very natural for joystick loving users to use). This is what I would buy now, but I bought the drone only, because I was unsure about what I wanted. I have ended up buying the battery charger (not necessary as you can charge the drone directly with a USB C cable, but a nice to have). I ended up buying the googles and RC motion 3 and I also got the RC2. Use case: 1 FPV you need the googles and an FPV controller (I bought the Motion 3, which I love but does not allow for manual full speed control) but you can also get the DJI FPV Remote Controller 3 which allows full manual mode and top speed flight. (I don't currently have this controller). 2 For filming you have a few options, the drone with no controller at all, you can use the app on your phone or tablet (you need a device with wifi and mobile data to set up for the first time). If you use an android device you can only get the app from the DJI website which I do not like. This requires more messing and allowing 3rd party install etc. You can also use various other controllers, the best in my humble opinion is the "DJI RC 2" which has a host of features including the auto return home function which the drone alone or app don't have. I think this is a fantastic fun and safe drone which I am really enjoying, mainly for FPV. A lot of people moan about the video quality, but for home use I think it is great. I guess when you are comparing to professional kit, it is lacking. I can't imagine anyone would buy a £200 drone and expect pro level video out of it. But the video you do get is great in my opinion. So bottom line, I bought this for fun and FPV, the fact I can inspect my roof with it, is simple a bonus. If you are considering getting into FPV, get that version of the Neo package, if you want video I would look at the Pro 5 mini, if you want a mix of FPV and better video perhaps take a look at the Avata 2. Any which way you will have a lot of fun. I think I will get the Avata 2 next.

Even though I actually enjoyed using the DJI Neo—at least while I had it! I have to give it 1 star as it flew off within 13 days of having this product. I got to enjoy the drone for just 13 days before it unexpectedly “flew away.” After a few successful indoor flights, I decided to take it outside. Within seconds of activating the “follow me” function, it started acting erratically and then flew off, never to be seen again—despite the clear, calm conditions. To make things worse, I had just spent over £130 on accessories two days prior. As a beginner, I was drawn to this drone because of its simplicity and ease of use. All I wanted was to capture some basic shots while walking or running outdoors, but I never got the chance. It’s also worth noting that the DJI Neo apparently doesn’t record a flight log when taking off from the palm if it isn’t connected to a controller or phone. I checked, and there’s no record of the incident in my log. This is ESSENTIAL for logging a ‘Fly Away’ report with DJI. A clear flaw when in this situation!! I’m really hoping DJI will support me on this, as I was thoroughly enjoying the experience before this disappointing mishap. Just an honest heads-up for anyone considering the DJI Neo.

Well packaged, fun to try out ,affordable
