DJI’s $199 Neo selfie drone is going to be everywhere
$199 could make drones mainstream gadgets — for better or worse.
Unlike the X1, the Neo has return to home (RTH) capabilities, and if you add a controller it can fly much farther away given its dual antennas (one transmitter, two receivers) which offer a maximum video transmission distance of 10km (6 miles). While the folding X1 remains more pocketable, seems to keep a lock on its subject better, and is generally less buggy and easier to use, the Neo has proven to be a very capable challenger as you’d expect from the world’s leading maker of drones. For FPV flight, that means DJI’s Avata Explorer Combo is currently a better deal; in Sean’s early tests, it also offers a more stable first-person flying experience than the Neo.
