DJI Neo

At 135 g, DJI Neo is DJI's lightest and most compact drone to date. Take off and land on your palm effortlessly without a remote controller, and capture cinematic footage with YOU in focus. Soar through breathtaking scenery, indoors and out, and be sure to include everybody in a group photo. Enjoy a fresh perspective on everyday life with DJI Neo.

That's the blurb from the DJI website, and it's that which got me thinking about how useful a little drone like this would be when out on the bike.

I have a DJI Mavic Mini but it's such a faff to use, having to mount my iPhone into the controller and then get it setup to fly and so on and so on. The Neo looks ideal for capturing some interesting B-Roll when out shooting moto vlog content.

I took the DJI Neo out with me on a short trip up to Strines for a nice little ride and a few pints of coke at the Strines Inn.

On the way there, I stopped and had a quick play around with the Neo. I did have trouble getting it to track me with my helmet on so I just had it do some interesting things with me just sitting there.

I'll spend more time with it and see if I can get it to do some low speed following shots, as that would be really useful.
