Let's not beat around the bush, at its core the DJI Neo is built around an idea borrowed from another company. The question with this drone is not how revolutionary it is because – for once – DJI aren't really the innovators here. The question is "Has DJI done it better?"
From that perspective, the existing competition which DJI is looking to unseat is the HoverAir X1, which I reviewed last year, though history records a much less impressive 'selfie drone' or 'follow-me drone' (I can't decide what they're called either) from Snapchat! There are other ways we can look at this drone though, because it does a lot!
