On September 5th 2024, DJI announced their lightest drone yet, the DJI Neo. In this blog post, we will cover some basics on the Neo and some applications that go beyond regular flying.
What is the Neo?
The DJI Neo is an ultra-compact, easy to use drone. Neo is equipped with a ½” sensor capable of capturing quality 4K 30 FPS video. Additionally, the Neo sports advanced semi-autonomous features like one touch QuickShots, letting you fly without a phone or controller.
The Airframe
Similar to the Avata and Avata 2, the Neo adopts a ducted design, giving it many benefits, especially for beginner pilots or those looking to fly indoors. Thanks to the ducts, the Neo is much less likely to break props in a crash.
Countless Control options
With Neo, you aren't bound to just the DJI RC-N3. Thanks to its advanced DJI transmission system, you can fly with the DJI Fly App via a WI-FI connection, or pair up the DJI FPV Remote Controller 3/DJI Motion Controller 3 and the Goggles 3 to turn the Neo into a powerful tinywhoop. Don’t want to fly at all? No problem with Neo. Thanks to its built in QuickShot modes, you can push the mode but the neo to activate one of six flight modes with ease.
1/2" Sensor
Even at the ultra low price point, the Neo is packed with a 1/2” sensor that can deliver quality 4K/30, or 1080 at up to 60FPS. With the Neo’s camera, you can easily capture breathless photos and videos with ease.
DJI O4 Transmission
Go the extra mile with the DJI Neo. With DJI’s latest and greatest O4 transmission system, the Neo can be pushed up to 10 km away in ideal flight conditions.
Not Just A Selfie Drone
Don't let the Neo’s size and price point fool you, this drone can do so much more than capture amazing photos on the go. With its ducted design and rigid airframe, the Neo can be used for indoor and tactical applications. Unlike other DJI drones, the Neo performs well indoors, making it excellent for inspections and potential law enforcement applications.
In conclusion, the Neo is an exceptional drone for those on a budget. Thanks to its camera, this is a perfect option for vlogging or capturing family photos on vacation, but that's not the limit. Thanks to its versatile control options, you can turn the Neo in to an FPV beast! Ready to get started with the DJI Neo?
