The quick verdict.
A 135g camera drone that can launch from your palm and automatically capture short tracking shots. It looks unusually approachable, but flight limits and wind performance still matter.
Why it is on the shortlist
Palm take-off, automated flight modes and phone control remove a lot of the friction that normally comes with a camera drone. That makes the Neo interesting for hikers, travellers and solo creators who mainly want quick reveal or follow shots.
The tiny size is both the appeal and the compromise. It is easy to carry, but a larger drone provides more battery, wind resistance and camera flexibility.
