I had always been reluctant to invest in bringing drones into my work as a director of films made by children because I knew that the aerial shots we could get would be sparsely used throughout a film and doesn't justify the absolute need for a drone. The Neo changed all of that. An autonomous drone that could act as a floating tripod, a crane, could be used indoors and could retain usable audio was a great reason to get into using drones.
Nonetheless, the Neo always felt like a toy and had limitations with environments that weren't brightly lit. Even 30 meters in altitude would frighten me because the wind here would immediately knock it around. So basically, it was brilliant as long as you didn't expect to use it to0 much more than the autonomous functions. I'd still recommend it for travel vloggers and children.
But the Flip! The Flip feels like a more serious drone and has enough power to challenge a beginner while simultaneously easing the beginner pilot into a better skillset. The first time I dared to ascend, I surprisingly hit 90 meters without even noticing and the Flip remained perfectly stable the entire time. I was scary, then thrilling and then encouraged me to be bolder and more audacious. I can't wait to get out and fly the Flip more even beyond filming movies with children.
If you're primarily a vlogger and want a floating cameraman, I do like the Neo. But if you want to level up in every other way and aren't ready for a more powerful drone, the Flip has impressed me in every way so far.
