    I previously used the HoverAir X1 for my cycling video and since day one praised the tracking but hated the video quality. DJI has finally released a HoverAir competitor the DJI NEO and from the get go it mostly ticks all the boxes for me in regard to video quality, some work on software for the tracking needs to be done IMO by DJI but for the most part here is a video of the DJI Neo without any flashy LUTS or major editing.

    Major issues I’d say is the Audio sync from Mobile to Drone is not perfect and needs a lot of work, however resisted the urge to fix it on the edit and post as is for a real feel for out of the box experience of the DJI Neo.

    Any views or comment’s pop them in the comments section, this could be the drone you are finally looking for ?
