Deciding whether to upgrade

Start with what limits your present footage. Compare the supported recording modes and stabilization with your intended shots, then check the controller, batteries and accessories in the exact package. If your current Neo already meets your needs, a higher specification alone does not establish a reason to replace it.

Use the current Neo 2 listing for Canadian pricing and availability. Contact SpeedyDrone to compare a package with equipment you already own.
