the drone for the rest of us: DJI Neo Review

There's a gap in the drone market. On the lower end, you've got drones from brands like Zero-X that are extremely affordable, but lack a lot of features like gimbals or live camera views. They're decent to fly, but realistically? They're toys. Then after that, it's straight into the DJI Mavics and Minis of the world. At least there was a gap, until DJI launched the Neo. Great performance, autonomous flight, and fantastic camera quality, all at $200.
