Easy to control with the new RC-N3 controller or the DJI Fly app on a smartphone, the Neo makes drone photography more accessible thanks to its low price point.

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. Utilizing a single camera with some really impressive specs, the Neo captures beautiful 4K footage at 30fps. It’s compact and lightweight, packs minimalist charm, and comes with 22GB of internal storage. Is it one of the best drones? Without a doubt — starting at just $199, it’s fantastic value for money.
