So, here we find ourselves at a contradictory juncture.

When I look at the value of drones, I dont simply consider their initial cost.

For me, the Neo is a bit gimmicky and what it does well becomes boring fairly quickly.

Great for DJI, but not great for your wallet.

Advertised flight times never translate to real-world use.

You’re probably shouting at your screen as you read.

“It doesnt matter, the Neo has plenty of flight time per battery.”

And it does when used as a selfie drone for short bursts of automated flight.

But there’s only so much subject tracking you’ll have an appetite for with the Neo.

And once you switch to using it as a camera drone, battery life becomes much more important.

This one is a little out there, but hear me out.

This is because the Neo is designed mainly as a selfie drone with additional flight/control capabilities.

One aspect of the drone that makes it attractive as a camera drone is the propeller guards.

I also love the fact that the Neo is incredibly easy to use, which is fantastic for beginners.

Although these are expensive to buy individually.
