Drone tracking

3-axis mechanical gimbal that stabilizes 4K 30fps video, in a fly more drone combo kit costing less than $400 / £400 / AU$700? Yes please.Don't buy it if:❌ You want decent safety features: If you want the safety net that obstacle avoidance affords, you’ll have to fork out extra for a pricier alternative.❌ You shoot video in bright light: Without ND filters it’s impossible to achieve the correct exposure and 180-degree shutter rule in bright conditions.Sitting between the DJI Mini 2 SE and the DJI Mini 3, the Potensic Atom addresses the shortcomings of the earlier Atom SE. It's a fantastic beginner drone that our review says, "offers a performance that belies its low cost." Cheaper than the Mini 3, the Atom costs less than $400 / £400 / AU$700 in a combo kit that adds two additional batteries, a fast-charging hub with a power adaptor and carry case in addition to the generous accessories that come in the standard kit.The Atom's highlights include manual camera control, raw 12MP photos, 4K video up to 30fps and a mechanical 3-axis gimbal. All of these features are rare in a beginner drone at this price level. The mechanical gimbal gives smoother video footage than the Atom SE, while also enjoyed improved GPS accuracy and intelligent flight features, including subject tracking. The Atom isn't perfect: its lens focus is fixed, there's no obstacle avoidance, nor are there ND filters available to regulate shutter speed for video in bright light. However, Potensic's best-ever drone is still fantastic value and a genuine DJI alternative.Read our in-depth Potensic Atom review^ Back to the topThe best selfie drone(Image credit: James Abbott)The best drone for selfiesSpecificationsBest for: Aerial selfiesCamera resolution: 4K / 60pvideo, 12MP photosRange: N/AWeight: 191.5gBattery size: 1,920mAhController: NoReasons to buy+Super quick start up+Decent subject trackingReasons to avoid-Max flight speed lags behind other drones-Relatively priceyHoverAir X1 Pro sample images(Image credit: James Abbott)Buy it if:✅ You have zero drone experience: You can get airborne in a matter of seconds and get flying with no experience.✅ You want aerial selfies: The smooth 4K video and excellent tracking features combine

James Abbott)Buy it if:✅ You'd like multiple flight options: No controller, DJI's Fly app, controller, FPV Goggles, take your pick.✅ You need quick aerial selfies: Taking off from your palm with AI subject tracking and face recognition, the Neo makes aerial selfies as easy as possible.Don't buy it if:❌ You want to edit photos and videos: Photos are JPEG only, while video color profiles are automatic, meaning limited editing scope.❌ You're mostly keen on FPV flight: The cost of DJI's Goggles for FPV flight pushes the overall cost up considerably, and you'd probably be better served by the Avata 2.DJI's Neo is an all-new kind of offering from the drone king. It's mostly akin to the HoverAir X1 selfie drone, but DJI launched the Neo in at a lower price point and it shoots higher resolution 4K video. Absolute beginners can be up in the air within a matter of minutes, without even needing a controller, to shoot aerial selfies with DJI's smallest and cheapest drone yet.But this isn't just a selfie drone. The Neo's flight can be controlled in one of several ways; controller-free by just selecting the mode on the drone itself, by using DJI's Fly app on your phone or tablet, with one of DJI's remote controllers and even its FPV Goggles. Neo offers all kinds of flight control in one tiny drone.During our review of the Neo, we were super impressed by its ease of use, including its 4.76oz / 135g lightweight build and propellor guards that mean you can fly safely indoors in tight spaces as well as outdoors. Face recognition AI-powered subject tracking works well, and ultimately the Neo is outright fun and one of the best first drones for anyone. It's not perfect; flight speeds are modest and there's little scope for editing your videos and photos. However, the Neo is one of the most exciting drones we've used in years.Read our in-depth DJI Neo review^ Back to the topAlso considerNot every beginner drone could make the cut above, but there are a few alternatives we've tested which are also worth considering.
