DJI’s latest innovation, the Neo, is redefining portable aerial photography. This palm-sized marvel, weighing a mere 135 grams, is DJI’s smallest drone yet, designed to simplify content creation for both indoor and outdoor enthusiasts.
The Neo stands out with its hands-free operation – no remote control needed. Users can launch, capture, and land the drone directly from their hand, making it an ideal choice for drone novices.
Despite its compact size, the Neo doesn’t compromise on features. It boasts AI-powered subject tracking and six QuickShot modes, capturing crisp 12MP photos and smooth 4K/30fps video. DJI’s acclaimed RockSteady and HorizonBalancing stabilization technologies ensure steady footage even in windy conditions.
Safety is a priority with the Neo. Full propeller guards and intelligent flight systems allow for steady hovering and safe hand returns. Users can easily select shooting modes via on-drone buttons or pair with the DJI Fly app for smartphone control up to 50 meters away.
For more advanced users, the Neo is compatible with DJI Goggles, RC Motion controllers, and traditional remotes, offering control ranges up to 10 kilometers.
The DJI Neo’s 22GB internal storage can accommodate up to 40 minutes of 4K video or 55 minutes of 1080p footage. Post-capture, users can wirelessly transfer and edit their content using the DJI Fly app’s built-in tools, with audio from their smartphone or the DJI Mic 2.
