Because the DJI Neo is sub-250g, you don't have to worry about registering it under the current drone regulations. At this price, you can't go wrong, even if you're a seasoned drone pilot looking for a backup or just something that tracks you and your adventures autonomously.
Save $60 on this sub-250 g, beginner-friendly drone, which is super easy to use and can capture 4K video as it flies, either under your direct control (via the DJI app) or autonomously.
On top of being a drone expert, James is an award-winning freelance landscape and portrait photographer and photography journalist working with some of the best photography magazines and websites with a worldwide audience. He's also the author of The Digital Darkroom: The Definitive Guide to Photo Editing.
The DJI Neo is easy to fly and while it's not the most accomplished image-wise, it punches above its price tag.
For $140, you get nearly everything you need to get flying: a charger, a screwdriver and spare propellers.
