DJI recently launched a new drone in the form of theDJI Neo. The selfie drone is one of its most affordable options and very beginner-friendly, It has a reasonably short flight time (of up to around 18 minutes) but is designed to be fun while also recording 4K video.
One small saving grace for DJI in the US is that the legislation may not be passed until after the US Presidential election in November.
