DJI just added the two most requested features to its $199 Neo drone

“DJI’s $199 Neo selfie drone is going to be everywhere,” we wrote in September — while noting that the budget self-flying drone did have two major weaknesses over the competing $350 Hover X1. First, DJI’s drone didn’t shoot vertical video (a dealbreaker for TikTok and Instagram Reels influencers) and second, it couldn’t track our movements nearly as quickly as the competition.

But DJI is now fixing both, adding vertical video and dramatically increasing the Neo’s flight speed while tracking.
