Dubbed the "point and shoot camera of drones," the DJI Neo is the popular Chinese quadcopter manufacturer DJI's smallest and lightest drone, aimed at social media content creators looking for quick aerial selfies or landscape shots on the go. Sporting prop guards and weighing in lighter than the FAA registration requirement, the Neo is quick to get up and running without much fuss. In the EU, it's a class C0 drone.
Featuring gimbal-stabilized 4K30 video, a 7 km / 4 mile max flight distance, and an 18 minute runtime, the DJI Neo starts at $199 with no controller.
