DJI Mini 5 Pro vs DJI Neo 2

Buy the Mini 5 Pro if image quality, flight time and wind handling matter to you. Its 1-inch sensor, 14 stops of dynamic range and 4K/120fps slow motion are a clear step above the Neo 2's 1/2-inch 12MP camera. Buy the Neo 2 if you want a palm-launch drone that follows you with no controller and fits in a pocket. Both are under 250 g and both rate 4.9, but owners of the Mini 5 Pro talk about it as a serious camera drone, while Neo 2 owners praise how easy and fun it is.

• Choose the DJI Mini 5 Pro if you shoot for clients, sell footage, or want the best camera and longest flight time in a sub-250 g drone.
• Choose the DJI Neo 2 if you want hands-free follow shots, palm takeoff and a drone you can carry without a bag.
