I tend to spend a lot of my downtime watching TikTok videos of people flying drones over lava and behind waterfalls. But droning can be an expensive hobby as you often need to spend more than half your paycheck on a decent camera drone. Not anymore though — the DJI Neo is here to do away with that notion.
The Neo is effortless to fly, either via the new RC-N3 controller or the DJI Fly app on your smartphone.
