Last week my 16-year-old cousin in Lahore called me. Bhai, I have 70,000 PKR saved.
Should I buy the DJI NEO or wait and get the Mini 4 Pro?
I laughed! Because 6 months ago I asked myself the exact same question.
So I did what any drone professional guy would do. I bought both drones.
I flew the DJI Neo on my street in Larkana. I flew the DJI Mini 4 Pro in Murree; when I was there, it rained, and at nighttime.
After 30+ flights, here’s the truth no YouTube review told me.
And if you are a beginner in Pakistan in 2026, this article will save you 1.5 lac PKR and a lot of regret.

Specifications that actually matter for beginners
DJI Neo Review: the 60k
I took Neo to Moen-jo-daro, took off from my palm, and the kids lost their minds.
What I loved
1. It’s so easy; no controller needed. Say ‘go’, and it follows you. perfect for TikTok.
2. You won’t cry if you crash it. 60k hurts, but 2.2 lakhs hurts more. 3 indoor flying, I flew it in my living room. the Mini 4 Pro would’ve destroyed my fan
What sucked
1 18 minutes is a lie; in reality it is 14 mins. That’s 3 batteries gone in 45 minutes.
2 Wind+energy at Moen-Jo-Daro: the wind pushed it around like a paper plane.
3 videos. is just ok. It’s good for social media, not good for clients.

3 Battery 34 minutes feels like forever. I could film an entire sunset without swapping batteries.
What sucked
