The Best Little Selfie Drone (Under $300!)

This little selfie drone is pure magic. I’ve always wanted a drone but felt totally overwhelmed learning to fly one — but the DJI Neo? You control it from your phone! It has presets for spinning shots, follow shots, rocket shots, and all the fun aerial moves without needing any drone skills. It’s tiny, easy to fly, and captures gorgeous overhead videos without the stress (or price tag) of a big drone. For under $200, it’s the most fun travel camera I own, and I toss it in my bag for every trip. If you’ve ever wanted pretty aerial shots without the learning curve, this is the one.

Get the version with extra batteries / *I’m linking to the version with the 3 battery combo because you’ll want the extra batteries! You can get it for $199 with one battery that lasts about 15 minutes, but I ended up buying extra batteries with the charger later, which is $289 and includes 3 batteries + a charger.

Get this case / You also need the $14 case from Amazon — it’s shockingly good and perfect for travel.
