Do I need a controller to fly the DJI Neo?

No. It can take off, fly preset QuickShots and land from your palm without a controller or phone. A controller or the phone app gives you manual flight and live view.

Do I need to register the DJI Neo?

In the US it weighs about 135 g, under the 250 g threshold, so recreational flyers do not need FAA registration. Rules differ by country, so check local law.

How long does each battery last?

DJI rates flight time at roughly 18 minutes per battery in ideal conditions. Real flights are shorter with wind and aggressive maneuvering, which is why the three-battery combo helps.

Can the Neo follow me while I move?

Yes. It tracks a subject and keeps it framed in its subject-tracking modes, but it has no obstacle avoidance, so keep the path clear.

What is in the Three Battery Combo?

The drone, three intelligent flight batteries, a charging hub and the standard cables and paperwork. All original box contents are included.

How does it compare with the HoverAir X1?

Both are palm-launch selfie drones. The Neo is lighter and shoots 4K, while the X1 folds smaller and offers more automated flight modes; neither matches a gimbal drone for smooth footage.
