DJI Neo
The DJI Neo is a compact, beginner-friendly drone that punches above its weight in both performance and creativity. With a 12MP camera capable of shooting crisp 4K video at 30fps, it’s perfect for travel storytelling, gear reviews, and capturing immersive aerial footage. I’ve flown it across open fields and winding trails—its AI subject tracking and QuickShot modes make every flight feel cinematic.
One standout feature is the Neo’s compatibility with DJI’s VR-style first-person view (FPV) headset and RC-N3 remote. This setup doesn’t just enhance immersion—it extends your flight range up to 7 km, giving you more freedom to explore and document landscapes from above. Whether you’re hiking through Lakewood’s scenic trails or scouting hotel rooftops for your next travel guide, the Neo keeps up.
