DJI Neo (drone only): $199

DJI Neo Fly More Combo: $349

To add to the point above: it looks like we are mostly looking at a $199 price point versus some valid fears about it being a Spark 2.0. Honestly, from a DIY perspective where I usually build my own quads, I am satisfied with the specs for a fun park flyer. It works well for those moments you dont want to carry a massive drone bag. Quick tips to make it better:

• Use DJI Goggles 3 to get away from that phone-only toy feeling.
• Get a DJI RC Motion 3 for actual control precision.
• Keep a SanDisk Extreme 128GB microSDXC on hand for the 4K files. If you treat it like a specialized tool for tight spots, you wont be disappointed. Let me know if you need a hand with the setup once it finally drops!

Honestly, if the Neo actually hits that $199 mark, I am mostly just worried about the quality. I remember picking up the DJI Spark years ago and unfortunately it was a bit of a letdown with the WiFi connection issues I kept having in the city. The Neo feels like it might be heading down that same path of being more of a toy than a real tool for us veterans who want actual control. I shifted over to some other brands lately because the entry-level DJI stuff feels a bit locked down now. Couple things I would look at instead:

• HoverAir X1 Pocket-Sized Flight Camera for actually useful hands-free modes
• BetaFPV Cetus X FPV Kit if you actually want to learn how to fly properly Quick tip: dont buy the drone-only version unless you're positive your current controller is compatible. Using a phone to fly is basically a recipe for a crash if the app lags out, which happens more than you would think...
