Man as a recent DJI FPV owner, this thing is sick. Could pair with all my existing gear and much smaller and easier to use. Fly up, get my shots, then transition to the FPV and do some acrobatics.
For ages there are many creators who want to have drone footage without needing to learn a new hobby and this drone is perfect, i can have it in my bag, whip it out and take a 2 mins footage and and I have a nice b roll.
@@NeilEvery Why? The Neo also shoots 4K30. It will be at lower true detail and dynamic range... but I think it could work esp considering it $200. While 4K120 is common now, I've seen people sneak in 1080p120 upsampled to 4K and for a 3-5 second clip it isn't that bad. Also for people with higher budgets... the HoverAir X1 Pro has a Type-1/1.3" sensor (same size as iPhone 15 Pro Max, Samsung 24 Ultra, and Google Pixel 9 Pro Max) and can do 4K60 and 1080p120 (for $600). Hover X1 Pro Max (not any larger) can do 8K30, 4K120, 4K60 HDR (HLG 10bit). They are on an IndieGogo with a new "delivery guaranteed" where if it doesn't ship by Oct 31, 2024 - indiegogo gives you the options to refund all of your money.
@@Andyrewk That's a good point about needing Part 107 for *any* of non-recreational usage (even if it is not for money). But AFAICT, the FAA is kind of lax about enforcing it and only uses to add extra punishment to someone who screws up excessively. Given the ridiculous things creators do (like crashing a plane with GoPro attached to it in a National Park, or someone jumping a car it off a steep hill in LA and crashing it parked cars) I think not having a Part 107 license is the least of their crimes.
Hello, I just wanna ask, when during the audio recording which take out the propeller sound, can mount the DJI mic at the mobile phone and record the audio?
DJI has done it again, they’ve produced another winner that will set the standard for others to follow. Sure the video quality isn’t fantastic compared to their other drones, but for the price, performance and capabilities it’s a winner straight out of the box. And knowing DJI,mtge updates will continue to make it even better.
4K is pretty damn good and the EIS seems to do the job. I'm REALLY bothered about the lack of SD card though... I've never owned a drone, I'm a video guy.
Sold! First time here. What an incredibly thorough, informative, and professional video and channel. Exceptional production. I'm new to drones, and don't need to waste any more time on any other channel!
Agreed. This showed up on my RUclips home page and I wasn’t even interested in drones. The fact that I then watched the entire video is a testament to the creator. Subscribed.
Im not into drones. Came across this video randomly. But I must say its amazing where the technology to price ratio has gone in the drone market. That neo looks pretty sweet for $200...

Hover X1 already did this a year ago and folds away unlike the DJI Neo. Hover have just announced the X1 Pro and X1 Pro Max (with 8K video) and reverse obstacle avoidance but Hover is a more expensive product than the Neo.
@@cburgos2 any drone used in commercial has to be registered and part 107 pilot certified. If you get paid, you have to be certified technically. No matter how light it is
I am so glad DJi released this to take over on Hover. I bought 2 hover, both of them flew away, gave all the evidece to the company and they just offered me a coupon of 20% off. I loved my hover and thats why I bought it again after it flew away next to the ocean but as a company hover is horrible and they got into that mode where they thought no one will compete with them. Great to see this little controller free remote from DJI.
2 things i love about this: 1. The camera features and you don't need a remote! I love taking photos or selfies with my mavic mini (1), but it's always a few minutes to get out my drone and set it up, etc. Having it being able to be controlled through the buttons is so simple! And the Following looks REALLY good. 2. The other thing is... THE PRICE! For the base drone of $199... that's REALLY tempting! I could easily justify this. Very cool.
This drone is gonna make DJI more money than even the Mavic 3. Trust me. Its gonna sell like mad. The same reason H&M makes more overall profit than Gucci. Volume and affordability is king.
It's more than just volume and affordability. This drone opens up DJI drones to less tech savvy people that don't really geek out on drones, but would really be interested in something this simple and practical.
Finally, DJi drone that is simple, small, light weight, no controller needed to film myself in action without the hassle at a price that does not hurt my wallet. Almost purchased the ridiculous overpriced Hover X1, thank goodness I watched your very informative detailed Neo video. My Neo Combo will be on its way. Great video!
This is really great DJI has turned into a different market. In the past I have purchased the Phantom 3 and Phantom 4. Even a 5 year old could fly those. DJI too me has been the number 1 drone to fly for a long time.
Best drone reviews (and other equipment walkthroughs and reviews) on the internet, period. Time stamps, excellent presentation and energy, details, insights and demonstrations of each feature, side-by-sides, etc. I'm getting a NEO for sure! Thanks so much, Aldryn!
Finally a drone that is perfect for family travels - that doesnt take much luggage space and budget friendly too. 🎉 Good thing I didnt get the hover air x1.
@@JohnSmith-ef8nr Thats is also true. But obstacle avoidance is essential for a self control drone like DJI Neo. And also the video came out of this camera will not match with any DJI product like for example Pocket 3 and Osmo Action 4. Look at the color, the quality. Only good for a single use, never use with video from any other camera.
Okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the kislux book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
Excellent reviews as always. Quick note on the RC2 compatibility. DJI lists it as compatible with Neo. So all is good for ones with RC2 controllers. No extra N3 needed
@@just4fun127 under accessories section. select Neo, a list of compatible accessories shows up. RC2 is listed. Clicked on RC2 and it says compatible with which drone. Neo is on the list.

Fantastic video, just ordered mine at Best Buy and picking it up an hour. I need this for my RUclips channel, which focuses on cars and DIY. I always wanted some b roll footage of the cars, but I didn't want to invest the time to really get into "droning". This will serve my purposes amazingly well. Thanks for publishing this video.
Are those awful compression artifacts in the footage from the drone actually on the downloaded recording or is that being caused by something else in your workflow?
Im amazed at how far the tech has come and think I’m going to pull the trigger on this little DJI as the cost is so reasonable that if you destroy it its only 2 bills. Thanks so much for showing this to us and you now have another subscriber here.
Just a little heads up for those with older lightning plug iPhones if you buy the Flymore Combo the cable is Not included with the RC like all previous DJI drones had, only USB C cable is included.
Great in-depth video on Neo. The main buying point will be the price. Won't feel much of a pinch if something (lost, crash, stolen, confiscated, became a showpiece, etc.) happens to Neo, wouldn't say the same to the Minis, especially when the DJI care doesn't applies to all countries.
The sound recording capability while muting the props noise, and being compatible also with the DJI wireless mike, was what sold that drone for me. Great review video again btw !
A copy of the first gen HoverAir X1 feature-wise, DJI playing catch-up! Unfortunately for DJI the HoverAir X1 Pro and the 8K ProMax are shipping soon with much better spec than this. The HoverAir also has the advantage of being foldable so fits in a pocket.
But thay will cost alot more than £170, and won't work with the dji controllers you allready have. I allready have the avata 2 and mini 4 controllers to use with the neo.
@@andyparle5494it’s not a dumb comment. It’s quite relevant when there’s competing products in the market that DJI have quite clearly modeled the Neo on. So much of what it does and the way it does it is based on last years Hover X1. The price of the Neo is very nice but I’d have to immediately dismiss it because it’s not foldable like the Hover X1 and it looks like the Neo is too slow. That was the problem with the first Hover X1. Couldn’t keep up with you when cycling or mountain biking. But the saving grace for the Neo is its cheap price.
might buy this drone cuz this seems so versatile and user friendly. That prop noise removal feature is pretty epic for being able to use this for man on the street interviews etc.
This would make a great home security camera option. I’m still waiting for the ring drone camera to come out lol. This would be better than having multiple cameras all over your property. Follow a suspicious person etc. hopefully one day they will come out with a security camera drone. I could see it now. Have it’s own docking station to charge. Have motion detector meters around your house to set off the drone to turn on and go to the area of movement etc. as I write this my ring camera notifications are popping up. It would be nice to have a drone to fly around my house to see what’s going on all in the comfort of my bed.
great in depth video--as always.. neat little 'in your pocket' drone.. one thing missing for me and you mentioned it ..there is NO microSD card slot.. with all the features that DJI put into this drone you would think they might have included it.. maybe saving it for the Neo 2.. many thanx again
Another great video, Aldryn 👍 Couple of questions though. Firstly, is it only compatible with the N3 remote and not the older N1/N2 models? Also, if you're using just the drone on its own, and it's flying at a set distance from you, how do you get near it to hand land it? Surely it will just keep moving away from you? 🤔🤷
😊It's like the first mini drone HOVER X1 that DJI somewhat copied, very cool indeed. What I like about the HOVER X1 is that you can fold its wing and put it in your pocket, in small bag, or cargo pants pockets, and backpack. What I love about the HOVER X1, is the Dolly Track where it follows you from the front. But great job DJi for having an improved phone remote control, and what a great drones videos, thank you!👍
Very nice review! All the features and informations needed where explained clearly. Good job sir. More reviews to come. First time to comment on a video i watched here in youtube. GODbless.
It is very appealing. My only reservation is that the footage in this video looks overly contrasty, saturated and sharpened. The grass looks of an unnatural green. Is there a flat /dcinelike color mode?
That is pretty accurate, I think dji didn try to put much effort into the video quality, they look like the just wanted to beat the hover x1 specs and pricing for the market, hopefully a software update can fix this o who knows, maybe they actually try and release a pro version of this unit later down the line.
@@stefpix it’s a step below their other drones. Like mentioned at the end of the video if there’s a need for higher quality, they have the mini, air and Mavic lineups. This one is for simply all around fun at an affordable price.
@@CLVlogs05so yeah you have a drone that can do ALL that yet you're left with footage that doesn't even look great. I don't even like the footage from my Mini 4 Pro compared to my Mavic 3 Pro and Inspire 2 I know this one looks fun as heck but stinks the footage is most likely junk.
Interesting video. Thank you for all the information. It's really useful. What I'd really like to see is a comparison with the X1 Pro Max. I like some of the features of the X1 Pro Max better. But I also like some of the extras with this one better.
This DJI NEO is another Drone with all the easiness of controlling without the remote, also no FAA registration, super portable, fits in your pocket, got the quick shots, camera is really nice on a sunny day, "best for indoor flying" just watch out for obstacle, also has a level 4 wind resistance capability !! Thanks, DJI, for another easy to fly drone. 😂 Gonna get 2 of this !!
Thank you brother, your explanation is clear n details....i learn so much just watching you even though I've not got my Neo yet. Thank you so much for your efforts. 👍👍👍👍👍
I'm a video guy, never owned a drone. I had NO IDEA you could get smooth 4K this cheap 😮 It has limitations sure, but as a first drone, I can totally see the use and value 👍
The Goggles 2 are now compatible with the other O4 drone, the Avata 2 as of the most recent firmware. I’d expect it to be compatible with all O4 drones. The goggles v2 are likely not compatible though 😢
This was an amazing video. I’m new to drones and wanted something easy enough for my daughter and I to use. Very helpful beginner information about features and what’s possible. Thanks!
@@AtortAerials The thing about the 3 Pro..that was kinda niche and for some people totally not that great was that 7X camera..it was nice. but the reviews and results were not that favorable...now if they improve on that with the Mavic 4 Pro..which chances are they will bc the upcoming Air 3S has a new redesigned gimbal and the cameras for photography alone seems to have been improved..exciting stuff from DJI coming up for sure..
As usual, an extremely coherent, informative review. When this drone was in the "rumor" stage (yesterday) the price being floated was around $350. Just under the Hover 1. With a $199 actual price, DJI has, once again, stomped all over the competition. With much better features, there is almost no comparison with the Hover 1. The only knock against the Neo is the prop noise. Sounds like the Avata 1.
In my opinion the other knocks are the lack of SD card slot and not so great wind resistance. My Mini struggles in the wind and that’s even heavier than the Neo. Don’t get me wrong though, overall I think it’s a fantastic drone for what it is
...good feature set! Extended batteries but staying under the 250gm. cap would be great as an option,and hopefully Master Airscrew comes up with a way to drop the pitch of the insect scream...It may only be 79db.but that pitch is nasty.
Seems perfect for photographers who want to capture some video of them during a portrait session that they can post on social media and their website. It doesn't need to be super fancy, just stable video that shows a bit of what it's like working with them.
Hello Aldryn. Thank you for your first look and for the flights for the new DJI Neo. This new drone looks like an excellent starter for FPV and new drone pilots. As always, thank you for your in-depth and overall first testing of the DJI Neo. Take Care.
Instantly ordered it (damn you DJI). Curious though, If in follow me mode and then you stop somewhere 5 minutes later, hold out your hand.. does it know and fly over to land or you walk up to it... AI... ? Either way, will be fun. I have ALL their controllers, including the goggles, so options galore. Excellent video review - thank you.

😊It's like the first mini drone HOVER X1 that DJI somewhat copied, very cool indeed. What I like about the HOVER X1 is that you can fold its wing and put it in your pocket, in small bag, or cargo pants pockets, and backpack. What I love about the HOVER X1, is the Dolly Track where it follows you from the front. But great job DJi for having an improved phone remote control, and what a great drones videos, thank you!👍
Hey hey, nice thanks for the video. Is the DJI Neo compatible with the DJI RC Smart Controller (the "old" display controller from DJI Mini3)?
Always love your in-depth videos. You cover everything. Thank you!
Pertama dari Bali
Very nice review! All the features and informations needed where explained clearly. Good job sir. More reviews to come. First time to comment on a video i watched here in youtube. GODbless.
@@rodeliojangarciano644 appreciate u stopping by
It is very appealing. My only reservation is that the footage in this video looks overly contrasty, saturated and sharpened. The grass looks of an unnatural green. Is there a flat /dcinelike color mode?
That is pretty accurate, I think dji didn try to put much effort into the video quality, they look like the just wanted to beat the hover x1 specs and pricing for the market, hopefully a software update can fix this o who knows, maybe they actually try and release a pro version of this unit later down the line.
Unfortunately sharpness is baked in and there’s no option to adjust
@@stefpix it’s a step below their other drones. Like mentioned at the end of the video if there’s a need for higher quality, they have the mini, air and Mavic lineups. This one is for simply all around fun at an affordable price.
@@CLVlogs05so yeah you have a drone that can do ALL that yet you're left with footage that doesn't even look great. I don't even like the footage from my Mini 4 Pro compared to my Mavic 3 Pro and Inspire 2 I know this one looks fun as heck but stinks the footage is most likely junk.
@@AtortAerials heck the runcam thumb pro even looks better
Excellent work
Here we go!
Firts time on your channel or seeing videos.. nice video very informative
@@Indigenous_Explores 🙏🙏
Does it have night lights?
Interesting video. Thank you for all the information. It's really useful. What I'd really like to see is a comparison with the X1 Pro Max. I like some of the features of the X1 Pro Max better. But I also like some of the extras with this one better.
This DJI NEO is another Drone with all the easiness of controlling without the remote, also no FAA registration, super portable, fits in your pocket, got the quick shots, camera is really nice on a sunny day, "best for indoor flying" just watch out for obstacle, also has a level 4 wind resistance capability !! Thanks, DJI, for another easy to fly drone. 😂 Gonna get 2 of this !!
Thank you brother, your explanation is clear n details....i learn so much just watching you even though I've not got my Neo yet.
Thank you so much for your efforts.
👍👍👍👍👍
🙏🙏🙏
Wow the DJI Spark 2
Better 👍
Finally!!!....a Drone to entice me, bravo DJi and bravo Mr Flytpath for a fantastic initial review. I am SOLD!
Would they ever have the Rc2 compatible with the Neo at some point?
Don't count on it, dji has moved on to ocusync 4
@@JohnSmith-ef8nr i just seen an update on the Rc2 which supports the neo so looks like a yes, Remember the RC2 is ocusync 4
@djchino
Yeah just seen that myself
I'm a video guy, never owned a drone.
I had NO IDEA you could get smooth 4K this cheap 😮
It has limitations sure, but as a first drone, I can totally see the use and value 👍
Any chance for Goggles 2 and Dji Neo ?
The Goggles 2 are now compatible with the other O4 drone, the Avata 2 as of the most recent firmware. I’d expect it to be compatible with all O4 drones.
The goggles v2 are likely not compatible though 😢
i'm enjoying your video i like the time stamps and the information is straight to the point good job
@@TheGadecka appreciate that
Will it work with the RC-N2 controller?
@@MiltonBetts yes
Great thanks. Think I will place my order now
@@FlytPathSo Air2 and Się 3 work on the N3 controller from NEO?
@@FlytPathDo you know what drones this NEO controller supports?
@@FlytPath Thanks for a great review! Will the Neo work with the Mini 3 Pro remote with screen?
This was an amazing video. I’m new to drones and wanted something easy enough for my daughter and I to use. Very helpful beginner information about features and what’s possible. Thanks!
@@SafLynx glad it helped.
Nice..but we all know what we are really waiting for..in the next month or so..The Air 3S!..haha
Nah yawn Mavic 4 Pro or nothing for me. 🦾🦾🦾🦾
@@AtortAerials that’s looking like a 2025 drone tbh did you see the camera leak?
@@alexs9110 I think I did. Yeah I can see that it felt like we waited forever for the Mavic 3 Pro to finally drop was miserable waiting.
@@AtortAerials The thing about the 3 Pro..that was kinda niche and for some people totally not that great was that 7X camera..it was nice. but the reviews and results were not that favorable...now if they improve on that with the Mavic 4 Pro..which chances are they will bc the upcoming Air 3S has a new redesigned gimbal and the cameras for photography alone seems to have been improved..exciting stuff from DJI coming up for sure..
You mean the Neo2. Give it 6 months
Such a drone has been my dream for a long time ;) I like it very much ... Great review, now I will definitely buy it 🥰
As usual, an extremely coherent, informative review. When this drone was in the "rumor" stage (yesterday) the price being floated was around $350. Just under the Hover 1. With a $199 actual price, DJI has, once again, stomped all over the competition. With much better features, there is almost no comparison with the Hover 1. The only knock against the Neo is the prop noise. Sounds like the Avata 1.
In my opinion the other knocks are the lack of SD card slot and not so great wind resistance. My Mini struggles in the wind and that’s even heavier than the Neo. Don’t get me wrong though, overall I think it’s a fantastic drone for what it is
@@wesleyp3579 Lack of an SD card will be a problem as well. Another point of failure if the on-board storage fails.
most comprehensive and perfect explanation of this product. well done! subscribed!
Awesome, thank you!
They should put there at least the mini3/4 camera it would be the perfect travel drone
Now you need to check if the RC-N3 controller also works for the Avata 2. That would be very interesting to find out.
Camera quality feels really bad
Probably because it is! 😂
No wonder why it's cheap
@@mklsdv it’s $199
…..it’s $200 bro
If you compare video footage from this review with the one on their webpage it looks like it's from completely different device
I still film with my Mavic Air 2 the only drone that makes me want to upgrade is Mini 3 (I think) for the vertical video.
Great video. All the info straight to the point. Thanks alot!
This might be my 1st drone. Great review!
My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.
I have the x1 and am so excited to get my Neo when it ships, also Absolutely love your review look forward to seeing the noise difference of each.
...good feature set!
Extended batteries but staying under the 250gm. cap would be great as an option,and hopefully Master Airscrew comes up with a way to drop the pitch of the insect scream...It may only be 79db.but that pitch is nasty.
Great informative review! I don't dabble much in the hobby, but I like to keep up with the tech. This summary is great for that. Thank you!
You really gotta give it to DJI-they are always innovating. So many features for a nifty drone and maybe I’ll get one.
Seems perfect for photographers who want to capture some video of them during a portrait session that they can post on social media and their website. It doesn't need to be super fancy, just stable video that shows a bit of what it's like working with them.
Hello Aldryn. Thank you for your first look and for the flights for the new DJI Neo. This new drone looks like an excellent starter for FPV and new drone pilots. As always, thank you for your in-depth and overall first testing of the DJI Neo. Take Care.
Really nice and informative video about a drone that I will soon own ! Thank you ! 👍👍👍
Man right when I thought I was done with buying drones and now this👍🏻
I hope na makabili ako nito before the year ends🥺 super fan ako ng lahat ng products ng dji😭❤️
Wow.
What amino drone. What a great breakdown of possibilities.
Thank you
Super helpful, informative and to the point. Thank you 🙏
Instantly ordered it (damn you DJI). Curious though, If in follow me mode and then you stop somewhere 5 minutes later, hold out your hand.. does it know and fly over to land or you walk up to it... AI... ? Either way, will be fun. I have ALL their controllers, including the goggles, so options galore. Excellent video review - thank you.
Very impressed! Great for family outings. DJI have done wonders with their software to make this work. Also be a great affordable B Cam for pros.
Congrats on the million views!
That opening is classic!
