DJI Neo Delivers 4K Aerial Footage Without the Usual Price Tag, Even
SMRTR summary
At just 135 grams, the DJI Neo fits in your jacket pocket and launches from the palm of your hand.
This compact drone punches well above its weight, shooting stabilized 4K video at 30 frames per second, with smart QuickShots that deliver cinematic moves like orbital circles and rocket ascents without requiring any piloting skill.
Originally priced around $200, it's currently on sale for $139, making it one of the more accessible entry points into aerial video. It operates via a smartphone app over WiFi, though an optional controller adds range and precision.
Battery life runs about 18 minutes, and there's no memory card slot, so users transfer footage through the app after each flight.
Perhaps most practically, at under 250 grams, it falls below the FAA registration threshold in the US, meaning you can slip it into a bag and go, no paperwork required.
