DJI Neo 2 Review Australia: The Little FPV Drone That Thinks It Is a Big One

The DJI Neo 2 behaves like a drone that has just stepped out of the Matrix loading room with a duffel bag full of confidence. The original Neo felt innocent, almost naive, like it was happy just to be included. This one shows up dressed in long black leather, tilts its head like Neo about to stop bullets and acts as if destiny personally selected it to fly better than everything else its size.

And annoyingly, it sort of does.

Launch it off your hand and it shoots into the air with the confidence of a drone that has been reading motivational quotes. The first Neo always hovered around a bit like it was unsure about the whole concept of flight. The Neo 2 lifts off like it is offended you even doubted it. More power, more bite, a camera that actually resembles modern technology and a general sense that it has finally discovered what its job is.

It is still tiny. You could lose it behind a sandwich. Now it tears around the sky acting far tougher than something this tiny should, as if it is picking fights with drones that could eat it for breakfast. It is cocky, slightly absurd, and all the better for it.

Design and Build Quality

The DJI Neo 2 looks like the first Neo after a month in boot camp. It is still small, still cute, but now it looks like it has discovered discipline. The frame is larger in every direction and the plastics feel tougher.

DJI has clearly stiffened the structure. The body panels flex less, the seam lines are tighter and the frame feels more like an actual drone rather than a toy. Even the airflow design has been improved so the motors and chipset stay cooler when you climb or corner aggressively.

Key upgrades you notice straight away:

• A wider, thicker frame that adds stability in the air
• More secure removable guards that actually feel reinforced
• A redesigned front housing with small camera-protecting bumps

The guards deserve praise. On the original Neo, they were flimsy little hoops that rattled when you nudged them. On the Neo 2, they clamp on with more confidence. They still require a bit of finger gymnastics to remove, but once attached they sit firmly, reduce vibration and protect the props better. Remove them and the drone becomes sharper and quicker to respond, which is exactly what you want when you are flying indoors or doing FPV-style passes.

Then there are the antennas. DJI has stuck two flexible rubberised antennas on the back like little snorkels. They bend, they wiggle, and if you jam the drone into a bag sideways they will definitely complain, but they are far more durable than they look. They also improve signal performance dramatically, which is worth the aesthetic oddness.

A few subtle design improvements add to the feeling that DJI actually listened this time:

• A stronger battery latch that clicks in with proper authority
• A more rigid motor mount layout that reduces micro-vibrations
• A better sealed front display window to keep moisture out

The front end is where DJI has taken a sensible risk. The camera sits forward on a more confident mount, paired with two small protrusions on the guard that act like mini bumper bars. They will stop soft impacts and help keep the lens safe during low-speed bumps. They will not save you if you spear it into a pole at full speed, but nothing under 250 grams ever will.

Overall, the Neo 2 finally feels like it is built for adventure instead of built for apology. It is still lightweight, still easily pocketable, but now it has the structural confidence to match the performance DJI claims. It feels like a proper drone, not a nervous toy wondering what it has done to deserve this lifestyle.

In short, the Neo 2 finally feels like a real drone, not a nervous little gadget hoping you do not sneeze on it.

Noise, Motors and General Behaviour in the Air

If you flew the first Neo, you will remember the noise. It didn’t just hum, it absolutely screeched. The sort of awful, high-pitched whine that made you wince and made anyone nearby look at you like you had brought a wasp nest to the park.

The DJI Neo 2, thankfully, has retired that piercing shriek. DJI has clearly done something to the props and motors, because the Neo 2 no longer sounds like it is alerting the neighbourhood to an emergency. The tone is lower, less irritating and far easier on the ears. It is still a tiny drone, so you will hear it, but at least it no longer whines like a smoke alarm that has decided to develop a personality.

The motor upgrade is interesting. DJI has fitted the Neo 2 with bigger propellers and punchier motors, and the difference is immediate. The first Neo floated around like it was constantly apologising for existing. The Neo 2 launches upward like it has been waiting its entire life for this moment.

A few standout improvements:

• Faster vertical climb and noticeably quicker directional changes
• Stronger thrust that keeps the drone steadier in gusts
• Sharper braking, making sudden stops far more controlled

In calm air, the Neo 2 feels confident. It holds position better, reacts faster to input and no longer wobbles around like a shopping trolley with a broken wheel. The moment you point it somewhere, it goes. No hesitation, no nervous corrections, none of the jittering the original Neo produced whenever it felt overwhelmed.

The first Neo absolutely hated the wind. Even a gentle breeze would push it halfway across the park. The Neo 2 is still small, so it is impossible for it to punch through gales, but it can put up a fight now. It keeps its line, holds height properly and doesn’t instantly behave like it wants to call it a day. Bigger drones like the Avata 2 or the Mini 5 Pro will still run circles around it in rough weather, but for something this tiny, the jump in stability is honestly pretty impressive.

The behaviour in quick manoeuvres is also miles better. Punch the throttle and it climbs without wobbling. Snap it into a turn and it does not swing wide like the old one did. It feels tighter, cleaner and far more predictable. For small cinematic movements or basic FPV-style flying, it suddenly feels like a drone that knows what it is doing.

In short, the Neo 2 finally behaves like it belongs in the sky, not like it is visiting for the first time and hoping not to embarrass itself.

Battery Life and Charging Reality Check

Battery life on small drones is always a bit of a fantasy. The brochure promises one thing, reality delivers something else entirely. DJI claims the Neo 2 can stay airborne for around nineteen minutes. Lovely idea. Completely fictional.

In real flying conditions, you will see far less. The bigger body, stronger motors and extra sensors all sip away at the battery like it is free champagne. During testing, the Neo 2 usually tapped out somewhere between ten and twelve minutes. Maybe thirteen if the wind stopped to admire your flying. The original Neo often lasted a touch longer, which is hilarious considering how much weaker it was.

The truth is simple.

• Expect 10-13 minutes per battery
• The original Neo often squeezed out closer to 12–15
• Extra sensors and power demand make the Neo 2 hungrier

The good news is the Neo 2’s behaviour during low battery is much more predictable than its older brother. When it decides it is time to come down, it comes down gracefully rather than dropping altitude like it is fainting from shock. The sensors stay active, the handling stays stable and the drone never panics, even when you probably should.

Charging, however, is where DJI decides to test your patience. If you try to charge the batteries by plugging a cable into the drone itself, you will grow old waiting. It is limited to a measly 15 watts, which is about as good as an iphone charger from 2013.

The charging hub, on the other hand, is the hero of the story.

• Charges three batteries in parallel
• Takes about 60 minutes to refill them all
• Produces far less rage than charging through the drone

Yes, it is slightly slower than the hub for the original Neo, but these batteries are larger and the performance jump justifies the extra minutes. The hub is almost mandatory, not optional. The DJI Neo 2 is fun enough that you will burn through batteries in an afternoon, and if you are relying on single charging, your day will be over before it starts.

The battery latch itself is noticeably improved too. It locks in with more authority and no longer wiggles mid-flight, which was always a slight concern with the first model. Slide it in, click, and you actually trust it to stay put this time.

In short, the Neo 2 is powerful, capable and enthusiastic, and like any tiny thing that tries very hard, it wears itself out quickly. Bring spare batteries, bring the charging hub and accept that energy efficiency is not part of this drone’s personality.

Obstacle Avoidance Brilliance

DJI loves to talk up its obstacle avoidance, and normally I would roll my eyes at that sort of chest-beating. But with the DJI Neo 2, they have actually earned the right to brag. It has sensors on every side, Lidar on the nose, and more little cameras than something this small has any right to carry.

I live out in the bush, properly out there, where the “road” is more of a suggestion and the gumtrees lean over the track like they are trying to slap passing cars. This is not friendly terrain. This is the exact kind of place where a tiny drone should get eaten alive.

But the Neo 2 followed my car down an off road trail through those gums…
and did not clip a single branch. Not one.
It weaved, dipped and corrected itself like it had been doing it all its life.

The improvements are massive:

• Actually sees trunks and large branches before you do
• Adjusts speed and angle instead of throwing a tantrum
• Tracks a moving vehicle through tight bush without tagging anything

That is the moment I realised the obstacle avoidance is not a gimmick. It genuinely works in the rough stuff, not just in a tidy park where nothing happens.

The clever part is that it does not panic. When it sees something ahead, it slows down, edges around it and carries on. No sudden braking, no wobbling, no drifting off like the original Neo used to when a leaf so much as waved at it.

Even in low light, the Lidar helps it stay aware. Out here, the sun drops behind the treeline fast, and the old Neo would get confused immediately. The Neo 2 keeps picking out tree trunks and branches well after you would expect it to give up.

What shocked me even more is that the obstacle avoidance still works in the FPV goggles. You get a little radar in the corner, and if you push too close to something solid, it stops you before you do anything stupid.

A few real-world advantages stand out:

• Works in goggles, not just phone and controller mode
• Helps massively on bush tracks with overhanging branches
• Makes tracking a car or bike far safer and smoother

Of course, fly it straight into a tree in sport mode and it will let you find out the hard way. It is not magic and it does not work while in sport mode. But compared to the original Neo, this thing practically reads the terrain.

On a narrow track in the middle of the bush, surrounded by gums waiting to ruin its day, the Neo 2 should have been in pieces.
Instead, it glided through the lot like it owned the place.

Resolutions, Frame Rates and Storage

If the original Neo’s video options felt like DJI rummaged through a bargain bin of leftover settings, the DJI Neo 2 finally shows up with a proper toolkit. This tiny drone now records video like it actually wants to be taken seriously.

First, the headline act.
The Neo 2 can shoot 4K at up to 100 frames per second.
Yes, you read that correctly. A drone the size of a vegemite sandwich can fire out 4K 100 like it is nothing. You will need a controller or goggles to unlock the full 100 fps, but even with just a phone, you still get 4K 60, which feels downright insane at this size and price.

A few key improvements you immediately notice:

• 4K 60 on the phone, 4K 100 with a controller or goggles
• 2.7K vertical video instead of the original Neo’s sad 1080p
• More detail in motion, less blur, far cleaner fast action shots

The increased frame rate is not just for bragging rights. When you fly quickly, dodge obstacles or try to capture anything that moves faster than a tortoise, that extra temporal detail makes everything look smoother and more controlled. The original Neo’s footage often smeared across the screen like warm butter the moment you accelerated. The Neo 2 keeps things crisp even when you push it.

Vertical video has had a glow-up as well. The bump from 1080p to 2.7K might sound minor, but the difference is night and day. Footage looks cleaner, bolder and far less like something you recorded on a budget phone. For reels and TikTok, the Neo 2 is now a little content machine.

Storage is another area where DJI finally stopped being stingy. The original Neo carried 22 GB of internal space, which filled up quicker than you could say “one more shot”. The Neo 2 more than doubles it to 49 GB, which is, genuinely, a game changer on a drone this small. You can shoot multiple flights of 4K footage without hearing the dreaded “storage full” message.

Storage improvements worth noting:

• 49 GB internal memory
• Easily enough for several flights of 4K footage
• No need to juggle files every ten minutes like the old model

This might be the most underrated upgrade of all. Being able to fly, land, fly again and keep shooting without managing files is liberating, especially on a drone that is supposed to be quick and spontaneous.

Overall, the Neo 2’s recording options make the original look prehistoric. The bump in quality, speed and storage shifts it from “fun little gadget” into “shockingly capable camera drone”. It is fast, flexible and genuinely ready for real filmmaking, not just holiday clips.

Controls, Screen and Everyday Usability

The original Neo always felt like it needed a babysitter. If you were not glued to your phone, poking at tiny icons with the accuracy of a surgeon, it became confused and started drifting around like it was looking for snacks. The DJI Neo 2 finally grows up and does something astonishing. It becomes usable.

The biggest change is the front screen. DJI has slapped a tiny display on the front of the drone that shows flight modes, tracking settings and distance parameters. It is small, yes, but incredibly handy. You no longer need to unlock your phone, open the app, wait for it to connect and then fiddle around like you are defusing a bomb. You tap a button, glance at the front and you are ready.

The physical controls have been upgraded in a way that makes the original Neo feel prehistoric.

• Two side buttons that let you switch modes instantly
• Press and hold to alter parameters like altitude, distance and angle
• No need for a phone or controller for basic flight adjustments

This is one of the Neo 2’s biggest triumphs. You can literally pull it from your pocket, hold down the button, check the mode, tweak the distance, and launch it out of your hand in less time than it takes to open Instagram. It feels like DJI finally understood why people buy these small drones. Convenience.

The app has also been cleaned up. Pair it with your phone and you get a neat set of tools that actually makes sense. There is a position dial for follow mode, letting you drag the drone to the left, right or behind you. You can customise which flight modes appear on the front screen, so only your favourites show up when cycling through with the side buttons. It is the first time the Neo series has felt personalised rather than preset.

Quick Shot modes return, but on the Neo 2 they are less gimmick and more useful. Droney, Rocket, Helix, Orbit, Follow and the surprisingly charming Selfie Snap all work smoother than before. Selfie Snap in particular is addictive. You press the button, the drone backs away, tilts itself into position and fires off a set of photos like a tiny flying photographer with a caffeine addiction.

The combination of physical buttons, a real front display and a much improved app makes everyday use so much faster. You spend less time preparing and more time flying. The first Neo felt like a toy that required parental supervision. The Neo 2 feels like a tiny flying assistant that actually wants to help.

It is quicker, simpler and finally behaves like something designed for the real world, not a lab demonstration.

Gesture Controls, Selfie Tricks and Return to Palm

This is where the DJI Neo 2 stops behaving like a drone and starts behaving like a well-trained pet. DJI’s new gesture control system is so absurdly good that the first time you try it, you will look around to make sure no one saw you grinning like an idiot.

The system works like magic. You raise your hand, open your palm, and the Neo 2 suddenly pays attention as if you just clapped your hands in a wildlife documentary. The lights blink blue, the drone locks onto you, and suddenly it follows your hand like a tiny flying terrier.

The core gestures are brilliantly simple:

• Make a fist and open it to activate gesture mode
• Wave your hand to move the drone left, right, up or down
• Raise both palms to pull it closer or push it back

The responsiveness is ridiculous. There is barely any delay, barely any wobble and absolutely none of the “is it working or is it confused” nonsense you get with cheaper gesture-controlled drones. It feels like sorcery. You move, it moves. You stop, it hovers politely waiting for next instructions.

Then we get to Selfie Snap, the feature DJI built specifically to shame people who forget to take photos. You tap the button, strike a pose and the Neo 2 backs up, lines you up perfectly and fires off a series of photos in different framings. Even people who never take selfies suddenly start behaving like catalogue models.

And then there is the feature that made me genuinely laugh out loud: Return to Palm.

Hold your hand out, palm facing the drone, and the Neo 2 obediently flies back toward you like a loyal little pet returning a tennis ball. It slows down, lines itself up with your hand and lands neatly in your palm as if this is the most normal thing in the world. Once you try it, you will never want to press a landing button again. It is too entertaining.

Best of all, these gestures work whether you are using the drone solo or paired with your phone. The only time they switch off is when you fly with a controller or goggles, which is fair, because no one needs to be waving their arms around in FPV mode like a confused traffic marshal. However the Return to Palm works no matter what you use.

The gesture system is not a gimmick. It is fast, reliable and honestly one of the most enjoyable features DJI has ever put in a small drone. It gives the Neo 2 personality. It gives you control without fuss. And it makes every flight feel effortlessly fun.

This is the moment the Neo 2 stops acting like hardware and starts acting like a companion.

Tracking Modes and Real World Subject Following

Tracking on the original Neo was like asking a toddler to follow you through a supermarket. It tried, it wandered, it forgot what it was doing, and if you moved faster than a power-walking pensioner, it gave up entirely. The DJI Neo 2 fixes that problem with the enthusiasm of a rebooted robot discovering what legs are for.

Right away, the tracking system feels sharper. It locks onto you quicker, holds you in frame with more confidence and actually follows through when you pick up the pace. The drone is faster, the camera is wider and the new processing power gives it the attention span of a caffeinated border collie.

A few major upgrades stand out:

• ActiveTrack 360, which lets you position the drone anywhere around you
• Cycling mode, tuned specifically for faster subjects
• Much quicker acceleration, allowing it to keep up without wheezing

With your phone, tracking becomes wonderfully flexible. You can drag a little dial to move the drone left, right, front or behind you. Want it over your shoulder? Done. Want it trailing close behind? Easy. Want it hovering off to the side like a tiny paparazzi? Two taps.

But the real magic happens when you use a controller. ActiveTrack 360 unlocks full positional tracking, letting you control distance, angle and speed in a way the original Neo could only dream of. You feel like a director placing a camera on rails, except the rails are thin air and the camera is desperately trying to impress you.

Testing it on a bike is where the Neo 2 proves its worth. The old Neo struggled to keep up at anything above jogging speed. The Neo 2 tracks comfortably up to around 40 km/h. It accelerates quickly, holds its line and does not drift off like the old one did when the wind sneezed at it.

On foot, the performance is even more impressive. I walked through my house full of awkward doorways, tight corridors and random obstacles, fully expecting the Neo 2 to panic. It hesitated once or twice, lost me briefly, but the moment I poked my head back into view, it snapped back onto me and carried on like nothing happened. The wider field of view helps enormously, giving the camera more breathing room before losing sight of you.

The best part? The tracking shots actually look decent now. The Neo 1 always looked like it was sprinting to keep up. The Neo 2 looks smoother, steadier and far more professional.

This is the first time a tiny drone like this feels genuinely useful for solo filming, not just a novelty party trick.

Range, Signal and Why You Want the Transmission Module

Range on the original Neo was laughable. If you so much as walked to the other end of a small park, the video feed would start coughing, spluttering and eventually collapsing like it had run a marathon without training. The DJI Neo 2, thankfully, takes signal performance a bit more seriously, but only if you give it the hardware it deserves.

Let us start with the phone connection. DJI claims you can fly the Neo 2 up to around 500 metres using just your phone. In reality, the feed starts breaking up well before that. At around 50 to 80 metres, depending on local Wi-Fi pollution, you will see the image flicker and protest like it is being stretched beyond its comfort zone. It is better than the original Neo, yes, but still very much “stay close and behave yourself” territory.

This is where the transmission module comes in, and why DJI glued those bendy antennas to the back of the Neo 2.

• It unlocks O4 transmission, the same tech used in DJI’s higher-end drones
• It stabilises the feed at long distances and through mild obstruction
• It allows proper connectivity with DJI controllers and FPV goggles

Once you attach the module and pair the drone with an RCN3 controller or FPV Goggles 3, the Neo 2 transforms. Suddenly the signal holds steady. Trees are no longer mortal enemies. Passing in front of a pole does not make the feed collapse in fear. You can push out hundreds of metres without the video turning into a pixelated mosaic.

In back-to-back tests, the Neo 2 outperformed the original Neo by a hilarious margin. Using identical controllers, same weather, same location, the old Neo tapped out early like a frightened amateur boxer. The Neo 2 stayed connected, powered onward and actually acted like it came from the same company that builds the Mini and Avata series.

A few real-world improvements worth noting:

• Far stronger penetration through light foliage
• Much more stable video feed for FPV flying
• Fewer signal dropouts when changing altitude quickly

Without the transmission module, the Neo 2 feels like a talented drone being held back. With it, the drone suddenly behaves like it has graduated from flight school with honours. It becomes reliable, confident and actually capable of flying far enough to get cinematic shots rather than selfie-range footage.

In short, the module is not an accessory. It is the missing half of the drone. If you want real range, stable signal and access to the proper flight modes, you absolutely want the transmission module. Otherwise, you are flying a sports car with bicycle brakes.

Flying with Goggles and Controllers

Strap the DJI Neo 2 into a controller or a pair of FPV goggles and it stops being a friendly little companion and starts behaving like a caffeinated hornet with ambitions. This is the part where the drone reveals its split personality. In one moment it is a polite selfie machine. In the next, it is a tiny riot.

DJI has given the Neo 2 compatibility with almost every modern controller in its ecosystem.

• RCN3 and RC2 controllers
• FPV Remote Controller 3
• Goggles 3 and Goggles N3
• Motion Controller 3

This is absurd for something this small, but it works beautifully.

Start with the motion controller, the wand-like joystick that makes you feel like you are pointing the drone around with pure willpower. Pull the trigger, lean your wrist, and the DJI Neo 2 swoops, dives and arcs across the sky with surprising elegance. It is not as smooth or muscular as the Avata 2, but it is far closer than it has any right to be. DJI has even added Easy Acro, which lets you flick the drone through rolls and drifts without needing years of FPV training.

Then you switch to FPV goggles, and everything gets even more ridiculous. The Neo 2 pipes a live feed into your face so clear and responsive that it feels like you are sitting on top of the drone holding tiny handlebars. What really shocks you is that obstacle avoidance still works in normal mode. Yes, a tiny FPV-capable drone will happily brake before smashing into a tree. It even displays a little radar on your HUD, which is both helpful and faintly hilarious. It almost makes you feel like ironman with JARVUS telling you to watch out for that tree.

Overall, flying the Neo 2 with goggles and controllers is where the drone truly earns its personality. It becomes playful, reactive and surprisingly capable. It will not replace a proper FPV rig, but it gives you a taste of the madness without immediately turning itself into carbon confetti.

This is the Neo 2 at its most entertaining. It finally feels alive.

Who the Neo 2 Is Really For

The DJI Neo 2 is an interesting little creature. It is small enough to fit in a jacket pocket, yet packed with features usually reserved for drones that cost three times as much. It is playful, capable, slightly unhinged and occasionally overconfident. Which raises the obvious question. Who exactly is this thing meant for?

First, it is perfect for the solo filmmaker who cannot be bothered dragging around a giant case of gear. If you want quick shots, tracking clips, fast cutaways and smooth FPV-style footage without carrying a full studio on your back, the DJI Neo 2 is ideal. You pull it out, hit a button and it gets on with the job.

Then we have the adventurer crowd. People who hike, ride, climb or roam around national parks with the confidence of a mountain goat. These are the owners who want a drone that can:

• Track them without panicking
• Fly in wind without crying
• Return to their hand like a loyal pet

The Neo 2 ticks all of that.

It is also brilliant for beginners who want a safe entry point into FPV. Manual mode on a traditional FPV drone is like learning to drive in a hypercar. One mistake and you are part of the scenery. The Neo 2 gives you a lightweight, relatively soft landing option that lets you learn acro without turning every crash into a financial apology.

Equally, the Neo 2 is tailored for social content creators who want something faster and more cinematic than a phone, but not as intimidating as a Mini or Avata. The 4K footage, gesture controls, vertical mode and quick-launch abilities make it the ultimate “shoot something cool right now” machine.

And do not forget the travellers. If you want a drone that slips into carry-on, does not terrify airport staff and still produces footage that looks outrageously good for its size, this is the one. It behaves well, it takes up almost no space, and it is so quick to fly that you can get a shot before anyone even notices.

But the Neo 2 is not for everyone. If you need long flight times, rock-solid wind resistance or full professional colour profiles, you are better off with a Mini 5 Pro or something larger. The Neo 2 is not a workstation. It is a fun, capable, pocket-sized weapon.

So in the end, who is it for?
Anyone who wants a tiny drone that does almost everything, refuses to be boring and always feels like it is trying to impress you.

Verdict

The DJI Neo 2 is one of those rare gadgets that shows up pretending to be a toy and then quietly humiliates half the products twice its size. It is fast, agile, clever and annoyingly likeable. It can track you, film you, obey hand gestures, fly in manual mode and then land in your palm like a smug little butler. For something that weighs about as much as a sandwich, it is absurd.

But it is not perfect. But almost.

First, the battery life. ten minutes. Maybe twelve if the weather is feeling generous. DJI claims nineteen, but that is only possible if you hover indoors in complete stillness, possibly while chanting. Out in the real world, you will be swapping batteries like trading cards.

Then there is the sharpness setting, stuck at “crispy fried nonsense” unless you use a controller or goggles. Why DJI insists on hiding basic image controls from phone users is one of aviation’s greatest mysteries.

And let us not forget the antennas. Those bendy rubber twigs on the back look like they belong on a novelty radio from the 90s. They work brilliantly, but they also make me nervous in the same way carrying an egg in a loose pocket makes me nervous.

But that’s it.

Still, for all its quirks, the Neo 2 delivers something the original never managed: proper capability.

• Genuinely usable 4K footage
• Fantastic gesture controls
• Massive performance jump across the board

It is a tiny drone that behaves like an overachiever in every class except stamina. Yes, the battery life is short. Yes, it occasionally gets confused. But there is something irresistibly charming about it. It feels alive. It feels eager. And it feels like DJI finally gave the Neo family the personality and power it should have had from the beginning.

So here is the verdict.
If you want a tiny drone that is fun, clever and wildly capable, buy the Neo 2. If you want something calm, quiet and sensible, buy a Mini. And if you want something that looks at danger and accelerates anyway, buy an Avata.

The Neo 2 sits joyfully in the middle, waving its little arms, begging you to take it flying. And honestly, you should.

Would I Buy It?

Yes. Without hesitation.

Not because it is the most powerful drone or the most professional, but because it is the only tiny drone that actually feels alive. It follows you, listens to your hand gestures, films proper 4K footage and then lands in your palm like a proud little pet showing off.

It is not perfect. The battery life is tragic and the antennas look a little fragile. But none of that matters once you start flying it. It is fun. Proper fun. The kind of fun that makes you burn through all your batteries before you realise you have not checked your phone in an hour.

If you want something serious, buy a Mini.
If you want something wild, clever and brilliant for its size, buy the Neo 2.

So yes, I would buy it. Because it is impossible not to.
