The DJI Neo – and its pricier, even more feature-stacked sibling, the Neo 2 – are both excellent choices this holiday season. It is a drone which doesn't even need a controller because it can safely take off from a hand follow its user around using it's own AI, what we're calling a 'follow me' drone, respond to gestures, and land back on the palm.
What is really clever about the Neo and Neo 2 is that while the entry price isn't too high to join the party, the option exists to extend capabilities by investing in accessories. That's because the original drone doesn't include a long-distance (RC) remote controller in the box, but the tech exists inside every drone to receive signals from one, for example.
