Reviewing the DJI Neo, we called it "incredibly easy to use and fun," praising how easy it was to fly and while DJI has since released the Neo 2, that still stands. In fact, it's thanks to the Neo 2's release that the original is so cheap.
Aside from controlling it via the included remote and attaching your phone if you want a drone's-eye view of the world, you can activate its autonomous mode and just watch in wonder as it follows you from above. Children will require some supervision but this drone is a great deal for would-be flyers, young and old.

Looking to get into drone flying but aren't sure where to start? This bundle is just what you need. Not only is the DJI Neo a dream to fly, but the extra batteries and remote in this Fly More Combo bundle mean you've got everything you need to fly for longer.
Our expert James awarded it four stars in our DJI Neo review, calling it "A sub-250 g beginner drone that is incredibly easy to use and fun." And while you can use the app to fly it, it's easier just to clip your phone to the included remote and soar high while you see through its eyes.
Or, if you'd prefer to go hands-off, there are several autonomous flight modes, so you can just have it following you, filming you. Its weight also means you don't have to register it under current drone regulations. And with the three included batteries, it can fly for 54 minutes before you need to make use of the supplied charging dock.

✅ Buy it if: You want a beginner-friendly drone with everything you need to get flying out of the box.
❌ Don't buy it if: You want this purely for video. With no Micro SD slot, you're limited to how much you can record. The DJI Mini 4K is a better option.
