Editorial take

Why we picked it

The DJI Neo 2 is our Hero today because it finally acknowledges that most of us have the flight coordination of a dizzy wasp. It's a drone for people who want the "cool aerial shot" without the inevitable "climbing a tree in your underwear to retrieve a bit of plastic" moment.

With its omnidirectional obstacle sensing, it's basically toddler-proof, which is great because I am essentially a toddler with a credit card when it comes to gadgets. It's the Hero because it turns the terrifying ordeal of flying into a simple palm-launch that makes you look like a futuristic sorcerer.

It's the ultimate "social media companion" for those of us who want to be the main character but are far too lazy to actually learn how to pilot a quadcopter.

Detailed verdict

The full review

The Irresistible

The 151g weight means you don't need a pilot's license or a permit to fly it in most places, sparing you the bureaucratic nightmare of aviation laws.
That 2-axis gimbal is a massive step up from the original, giving you smooth 4K footage that doesn't look like it was filmed during a minor earthquake.

The Clever Part

The AI "follow-me" tracking is scarily accurate; it'll stick to you like a needy ex-boyfriend through forests, parks, and busy streets.
It features a tiny on-board screen for mode selection, meaning you don't have to keep faffing about with your phone just to tell it to do a circle.

The Fine Print

The 49GB of internal storage is decent, but since there's no SD card slot, you'll be doing a lot of "digital housekeeping" if you're a heavy shooter.
It sounds like a very angry hornet; don't expect to sneak up on anyone or film a peaceful "silent" nature documentary.

The Reality Check

The wind resistance is... optimistic. A stiff breeze at the British seaside will see your Hero drifting towards the Isle of Wight faster than you can say "Return to Home."
