Now the DJI Neo is here, would I still buy a HoverAir X1?

DJI Neo drone.

The DJI Neo has arrived and it's changed the selfie-drone world. If you've been thinking of buying the HoverAir X1, you might very well be asking yourself "Should I buy the DJI Neo instead of the HoverAir X1?" and I, DCW's resident drone expert, understand your dilemma.

On the face of it. the HoverAir X1 has been blown out of the water by the arrival of the DJI Neo; the newer drone is slightly cheaper yet boasts a lot of extra features. Look a little deeper, however, and you'll find that a lot of those features require accessories which aren't included in the basic bundle so the real question I think you need to ask yourself is whether you're after a pure 'follow-me drone' / 'selfie-drone' or a drone which leaves a few other doors open, but will charge you an entrance fee for each of them.
