I have this and it's use case is quite limited. First of all, I love it. I had the Snapchat Pixy until it got recalled and I bought this. I mainly use it as a selfie drone when I travel. This is a VERY good price for an beginner/entry/casual drone. I paid $240 (launch and fly more pack) and I thought it was worth it.
That said, please be aware that there are SIGNIFICANT restrictions on where you can fly it. As others have said, yes, there are NO obstacle avoidance cameras or sensors on this. You will need to have to have a wide-open berth of open area around you. You also can't fly it over water, e.g., pools, lakes, ocean, etc. Also, if you live close to an airport, you may not be able to fly your drone there. Many cities like Tokyo, Beijing, have city wide bans on drones. I tried to fly it at a California state beach and was told I can't fly it there. You also can't fly it if it's too windy. Be aware of the shrill whine of the drone. So, if you're indoors, it may be a nuisance to others. Even outdoors, if there are a lot of people, it will be a nuisance. Again, there are just a ton of restrictions. Purchase with your eyes wide open.
On the occasions and places where you can fly it, it is indeed fun! The fascination from others watching it follow you is endearing. Many have come up to ask what it is and how it works. Someone even asked if it's 'magic!' The footage is stable and clear. The software, although kind of basic, is intuitive and easy to use. At this price, I'd highly recommend it!

It's very user friendly, it'll take off and land from the palm of your hand and do quite a few different shots without even opening the app. Object avoidance is pretty good for what it is, but it also has prop guards and is fairly tough.

If you've flown a Mavic 3 you'll do fine with this. The app controller isn't as precise as a real controller but it does well enough.

I believe some people try to increase their chances of winning the daily prize so they randomly go to the next post and thumbs up if they are nice, and thumbs down if not.

Can you control the gimbal while in flight in manual mode without a controller?

I already have the screen controller for my mini 4 pro. Can I use that and see real time fpv video ?
it seems like only the RC 2 remote is compatible with the Neo. AFAIK, the RC 1 remote will not work with this one.

if there was an American, Mexican, or South American company producing cheap consumer drones, I would totally buy one over anything made in China. If you do happen to buy a DJI, I would advise keeping it offline when possible. The android app has to be side loaded. Who knows what's in it. The iOS app is still on the apple store though, so at least we know that one was reviewed by apple staff.

I wonder if the range is not as great without a controller. Your phone's wifi signal is likely not as strong.

Quote from Monkey_Farmer :
My guess for the thumbs down is because of the existence of the Neo 2. While it provides significant updates—especially in collision avoidance—it's twice as expensive, so unless you have the budget for the 2, this is a decent price to get you started.
Agreed. The next-gen tech is always better, but that doesn't necessarily mean you need it. This is a crazy good price for this level of tech.

Quote from ed1968 :
There are areas in the city where you can put up a drone without the permit, and once it's up, NYC has no authority...it's an FAA matter.
Just confident misinformation. There are 3 RC model places where the law does not apply.

"Every square foot of land in the city counts as a "congested area" under the code, so there is no uninhabited corner where the law relaxes."

Quote from ezkill :
As someone very naive to owning drones (I've flown someone else's mavic 3) how user friendly- object avoidance/ land itself kinda stuff - is this?
It's zero obstacle avoidance. Though it's much more forgiving if you do crash it. Can survive some pretty big crashes and if you just bump a wall may not even crash. It' cannot handle wind even close to the bigger guys. All that being said it's really cool for this price. I use it but with a controller usually.

I've never flown a drone before. How's this for inspecting my roof and gutters on my house? It would be impossible to check otherwise believe me.
