  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nWhen looking to get into any type of new hobby or career for the first time, it’s usually a good idea to do a lot of research first. However, while that’s good advice to follow, we’re also big proponents of just going out and doing the thing you want to do and failing your way into learning it.\n\nRegardless of your approach, if you do want to get into drone videography or photography, you’re going to need a drone to begin your journey. And while there are a lot of great options out there from several different brands, like HoverAir and Antigravity, to name a few, the top option for many is still DJI.\n\nAnd that’s even still the case with the company facing a drone ban on new DJI drones in the United States, more on that here.\n\nToday, though, let’s look at the DJI Neo 2, which is a recommended top option for beginners by many. Here’s what you need to know.\n\n* * *\n\n### DJI Neo 2 Best Beginner Drone\n\n\n\n\nLooking at a recent review video by YouTuber _Mark McGee Photos_, we get a great breakdown of what makes the DJI Neo 2 such a nice option for those looking to get into drones for the first time. A nice first option for those looking to explore aerial photography or videography, the Neo 2 stands out thanks to its 4K 60fps and 100fps video features, omnidirectional obstacle avoidance, gesture controls, and diverse flying modes.\n\nIt’s also just pretty fun to fly in the air and quite easy to bring around thanks to its compact and lightweight design. The best part, though, of all for many just starting out, is simply that it’s cheap. Currently retailing for just $259 for the drone only (although you’d need one of the Fly More combos to actually use it, but those are just a few hundred dollars more), it’s a nice bargain and a great first investment that’s not too pricey or complex.\n\n### Price and Availability\n\n\n\n\nIf you do check out the video review above and feel intrigued about the possibilities of the DJI Neo 2, here are the full specs and purchase options for the drone with the different combo options.\n\n  * Takes Off & Lands in Your Palm\n  * Track Subjects at up to 26.8 mph\n  * Capture the Moment with SelfieShot\n  * 4K60, 4K100 Slow Motion & 2.7K Vertical\n  * 2-Axis Gimbal with EIS\n  * Control with Your Voice & Gestures\n  * QuickShots, MasterShots & Dolly Zoom\n  * Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing\n  * Up to 19 Minutes of Flight Time\n  * 49GB of Internal Storage\n\n",
