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) | 135g Self-Flying Drone That Follows You, Palm Takeoff, Subject Tracking, QuickShots, Stabilized Video (Controller-Free)

I purchased the DJI Neo 2 after seeing several YouTubers share their use of the drone for outdoor pursuits such as mountain biking, trail running and hiking. I can only say I wish I had purchased sooner and had opportunity to use it on a recent hiking trip to Mallorca - it would have been perfect for this. Plus points from me - for non-techies or first time drone users this must be the easiest, safest and most stable drone to use - I am so impressed with the hand gesture functions, and the ability to simply power up and fly even without use of your mobile phone or any other controller. The onboard options such as follow me modes / circle / helyx etc are very easy to toggle through , adjust parameters (distance etc) and select. All my drone 'pilot' flying fears have disappeared and newbies will immediately gain confidence due to features such as obstacle avoidance and the drones simplicity of use. I can see myself growing into more advanced use cases as time goes on. I have used the drone twice so far and in average to poor light (UK winter!) - the video captured is more than adequate but starts to look grainy in very low light - to be expected. I expect the image quality to be very decent for my hobbyist (non-professional) youtube travel and outdoor sports activities in good light. The only faff I had was not realising I had to complete the in app tutorial before gesture control would be activated. I found this out when googling 'reasons why gesture control is not working' - even then I do not recall seeing any obvious mention of this anywhere within the quick start or more in depth documented guides - perhaps DJI may want to update their 'unboxing' instructions as this did cause me 24 hours of annoyance. This however is not a reason to dock a star in my review - the battery life is adequate although I expect to use all 3 of the batteries supplied each time I go out with the drone. So well done DJI, a great product at a sensible price with fantastic pre-set drone flight features for newbie drone flyers, especially those whose primary focus is on their outdoor pursuit rather than the drone flying itself. Simply brilliant!

First off, it’s incredibly fun and super easy to use. While I wouldn’t use it professionally (except for a few rare occasions), it’s definitely worth buying for anyone looking to enjoy a drone. I recommend the motion kit, which I think is the best and most enjoyable. It’s immersive and easy to fly. The camera quality isn’t even close to the DJI Mini 5, but it’s definitely on par with or better than the DJI Mini 2. It produces great footage but struggles in low light. The battery life isn’t great, but it’s still sufficient for a lot of use. I recommend having at least three batteries and the charging hub to get the most out of this little drone. While it’s designed to be portable, it can be a bit of a pain to fit in most camera bags or rucksacks due to the antennas on the digital transmitter. However, I’ve managed to shove it in my pockets before and it fits fine. It’s fairly noisy, but nothing unbearable. After it gets about 15 metres away, it’s barely noticeable unless your environment is quiet. Where this drone really shines is in its durability. It’s incredibly tough and boosts confidence, especially for beginners. I’ve practically abused it, hitting trees, branches, walls, and even a glass door I thought was open (now I understand how birds feel). Despite all this, it’s not a single scratch and still works perfectly. It’s like someone strapped propellers to a Nokia brick – this thing is indestructible. Its low price and practicality make it such a great product. You can control it with your phone or even without a controller, just using hand gestures. This means you don’t have to carry around controllers, which is a big plus. A few months after I bought mine, three of my friends also bought them. Now, we set up racecourses and fly them around. It’s a lot of fun. If you have the money and no more bills to pay, you can’t go wrong with this drone.

Great combo if you already have a DJI Controller or if you want to fly without one. I already have the DJI RC 2 controller from buying the DJI Mini 4 Pro last year, so I purchased this combo as I wanted the extra 2 batteries. As of writing this review there's a deal to save 15% so I got this for only £245, the drone only costs £210 and the batteries are usually £35 and the charger is £29 so this is a huge saving getting this combo. I got this drone simply for its size and ease, I want something I can take out with the family and get in the air to capture some simple easy shots without the hassle of also carrying the controller and carry case. It's super durable with the blade cage so I don't even other with a carry case it goes in whatever bag or pocket I have to leave the house with. Flight time is short but that's expected with a drone of this size and that's exactly why I purchased the combo kit to have the extra batteries. I have been flying drones since the first DJI Mavic but once I seen that this simply takes off from the palm of your hand I had to get it! It's so much fun using it with the gesture control and impressive how it lands back in your hand perfectly every time. 100% recommend this drone to everyone no matter your skill level this is so convenient and a little power house for the price.

I am so impressed. This was my first drone and is perfect if you are a beginner. It’s so easy to use and you don’t even need a smart phone or controller. It can be controlled by the preset modes on the actual drone. If you want to fly it manually you can use the app and it will show you in real time what you can see. The drone is very stable even when windy. Return to come feature works great or you can put your hand out and it will track it and land on your palm. The quality of the camera is amazing. Crisp 4k quality at 30 frames per second. Smooth and stable footage. It has an internal memory and the video and photos are easy transferred to the app and your phone so you don’t need a memory card. It’s safe to use and the propellers have guards on them and it comes with spares. It’s so cheap to buy now the next version is out but this is still great. Battery life isn’t great as it’s a small battery but it can be charged over usb c in about an hour or you can use spare batteries as they are removable. It requires registering and getting an operators id which is about £12 a year. If you are new to drones and need something easy to use to get into the hype then this is perfect.

Really impressed with this drone. Setup was straightforward and it’s surprisingly easy to fly, even if you’re new to drones. The controls feel responsive and stable, and it holds position well. The video quality is excellent for the size – really sharp and smooth, especially in good lighting. The Fly More combo is definitely worth it as the extra batteries make a big difference. It’s compact and easy to take out with you, but still feels well built. Battery life is decent and charging is quick enough to keep you going. Not much to fault at all – great bit of kit for beginners and anyone wanting something portable with good video quality

Being able to put the drone in my back pack and take it where ever I go is a joy. Not having to get out controller just switch it on set the mode and go. The battery life is long enough for me I only tend to do videos, at most 15 minutes. The ease of use is fantastic having the little screen at the front really helps with setting the right options before take off. You can not get better for the size and fit of this drone. Plus if you wanted to learn FPV you can connect goggles and a controller to it. I have not had any issue with wind but I could see this being an issue when it is a windy day.

As someone who makes content for a certain well known video site the DJI Neo 2 is a great addition to my camera kit. It gives me addition angles to use. Show my location from a completely different perspective. It offers fantastic value for money. For under £300 you get the drone, three batteries and a charger. You can operate it via hand gestures or use the preprogrammed routines. You want the drone to fly in a circle around you with a distance you set then it can do that. You want it to follow you from height, side or distance that again you choose then it can do that. It is stable in light winds and the control at a base level with the hand gestures and preprogrammed features then it’s fantastic. The image quality is great. Maybe not the best there is but then you would be paying a lot extra for that. But still at 4K its is surprisingly good for the price point. I have previously owned a drone before. The DJI Spark and whilst at the time that was average to good. This is leaps and bounds above that particular drone. No you don’t get the controller which will either set you back an extra £105 for the RC-N3 where you’ll need to use your phone docked in with the controller. Or the more premium RC2 with its inbuilt 5.5inch screen at £320. Plus you’ll need the antenna at another £19 from DJI’s website which I have also ordered. The controller gives more options like the ability to track your car and fly further away than this base set up. So if like me your thinking of flying further or higher then that’s something you will need to consider buying extra. Right now I’m just getting used to this drone. Using my phone as a controller for limited distance around the area I need. But it is good that the extras like the controller are available separately as and when I need to expand my flying experience. Dont forget that here in the UK you will also need a drone license to fly the Neo 2 legally. This license can easily be found online and costs under £12 and asks you 40 questions. Get the majority correct and you’ll have your own operator ID which you need to get printed ( again online for laminated stickers ) and are then stuck to your Neo 2. The battery life isn’t the best with maybe 10-15 minutes flight time per battery and that’s the main limitation. But having three batteries certainly helps. I don’t think one battery on its own is of much use myself. Because for me I just wouldn’t be able to create all the shots that I need to with just the one battery. The cage around the propellers and the obstacle avoidance system means that this drone is incredibly safe to use and is protected well. You just need a bit of common sense and don’t fly it too close to water either. The obstacle avoidance doesn’t see water all too well and you risk loosing your drone forever should you get too close to the wet stuff. And whilst this drone is somewhat durable I would recommend a hard shell case for it and its accessories. If like me your thinking of getting the RC controller then make sure the case will accommodate that accessory. That way your drone and its accessories will be safe during transport and keep it all together. So to conclude. If your after a drone that is packed with features that you can in future expand upon with the controller. Then this is fantastic and would be a great addition to any film makers arsenal of camera gear. The three batteries is a must. Don’t bother with the single battery and drone combo. That battery will soon run out and you’ll be forever recharging it to get the shots and experience you’ll need to fly it. I am a massive fan of the DJI range of products with also owning the DJI OSMO POCKET 3 and the DJI OSMO ACTION 5 PRO. This is as good as them and I am more than happy with the DJI NEO 2 being in my kit bag.

A couple of years back, I bought (from another market) an £80ish drone that was given rave reviews. Ok, it flew, but constantly drifted out of trim, was difficult for a beginner and crashed a lot! This is a completely different machine. The controller looks and feels solidly built and holds my Pixel phone in tough case strongly. The drone itself is very stable in calm air, holds it's position without drifting and if you hold your hand out under it when hovering, it immediately lands on it. One touch lift off brings it automatically to hover at approximately 1 metre off the ground. It responds immediately to the remote inputs and video/photo quality is excellent. I think, based on previous experience, it's great value for money especially as you get three batteries included. Too early to say if I'll upgrade to a more expensive DJI at a later date, but I'd happily recommend this to a novice.

賢すぎる。目視外飛行は色々条件があるので、二等の資格をとりましょう。

Excelente drone para iniciantes, prático e versátil. Vale muito apena.

Only drawback is the battery life but everything else is pure magic!

I bought this drone because it had solid features and was advertised as easy to use. It has not disappointed. The auto follow modes are great, and the hand gestures are really easy and responsive to set up shots. I plan on buying a remote later, but flying with the free app is fun and the range is impressive, 100 meters plus with no issues. Camera is stable on the 2 axis gimbal and video looks great. Love it. Battery life is under 15 minutes but with three you still get good flight time.

Pretty good and easy to use; Sadly there’s many laws in Japan and is very difficult to use it outside your own house. The setup was simple and the quality of the camera is acceptable. Wind can be a issue. Flying in manual mode is a challenge.
