Introducing the DJI Neo, DJI’s latest innovation designed for vloggers and selfie enthusiasts who crave simplicity and high performance. This lightweight drone, weighing just 135 grams (3 ounces), offers a hassle-free experience with features that bypass the need for FAA licensing, which applies to drones over 250 grams.
The DJI Neo stands out for its ease of use. With just a push of a button or the voice command “Hey! Fly!”, this drone can effortlessly take off from your hand, follow a variety of pre-set flight paths, and return smoothly to your hand after completing its flight. For those looking for enhanced control, the Neo can also be paired with DJI Goggles 3, RC Motion 3, or FPV RC 3 controllers, unlocking advanced features such as a six-mile range and FPV aerial stunts capable of handling wind conditions up to level 4 (18 mph / 29 km/h).
Equipped with a 12-MP camera and a 1/2 sensor, the Neo captures stunning still images and 4K video. It offers 22 GB of internal storage, providing up to 40 minutes of 4K footage at 30 fps or 55 minutes of 1080p/60fps video. Transferring your footage is effortless with Wi-Fi connectivity or a direct USB-C connection to your computer or smartphone. Although it comes with a single-axis gimbal that stabilizes only up/down motion, the Neo employs electronic image stabilization to enhance video smoothness.

The DJI Neo also features object tracking capabilities, allowing it to follow your face during outdoor activities. This is especially useful when paired with audio recording devices like the DJI Mic 2, making it an excellent choice for capturing content without the risk of tripping over obstacles. While it lacks obstacle avoidance, its robust prop guards are designed to withstand minor collisions.
For those concerned about battery life, the DJI Neo offers approximately 18 minutes of flight time. However, the Combo version, priced at $289, includes two additional batteries, extending total flight time to around 54 minutes. The drone charges via a convenient USB-C port, and the Combo pack comes with a two-way charging hub that can charge three batteries simultaneously in about an hour.
With a price tag of $199 for the standard model and $289 for the Combo version, the DJI Neo offers exceptional value, making it an attractive option for both casual users and serious content creators.
