Lightweight and clever – for every adventure
The DJI Neo 2 positions itself as the lightest follow-me drone to date at just 151 grams and carries a compact, easy-to-use design. Omnidirectional obstacle detection relies on a combination of monocular optics, forward-facing LiDAR and infrared sensors to reliably detect obstacles from all directions and provide a safe flying experience. These safety features are complemented by all-round propeller protection so that even beginners can find their way around quickly and intuitively. Regardless of experience level, the Neo 2 ensures that valuable scenes are captured safely and reliably.
The drone is particularly suitable for spontaneous excursions and moments when flexibility is required. If you want to get started without a remote control, you can launch the Neo 2 directly from the palm of your hand and bring it back with a tap of your finger. The new “return-to-palm” function recognizes the hand precisely and performs a stable landing – a real plus for mobile use and quick snapshots.
With up to 19 minutes of flight time, wind resistance up to level 5 and 49 GB of internal memory, Neo 2 has enough stamina and capacity for longer sessions. No additional hardware is required for the fast transfer of content to the smartphone and app; the data is imported directly into the DJI Fly app via Wi-Fi at up to 80 MB/s.
Versatile control and creative flight options
Gesture control, voice commands and classic remote control via RC-N3¹ offer maximum flexibility in operation. The innovative gesture control allows direction, altitude and distance control with simple hand movements, while the camera perspective can be adjusted from the wrist – without any remote control or app. Motion controllers and DJI goggles can also be paired, which further expands the creative scope and ensures immersive FPV experiences.
The improved ActiveTrack allows precise and stable tracking of subjects, whether running, cycling or even skateboarding – with maximum speeds of up to 12 m/s¹ in eight directions. Whether close-up, full body shot or long shot: the SelfieShot function takes over the scene planning and controls the camera movements for perfect social content shots. Slow motion, vertical videos and intelligent MasterShots ensure cinematic quality directly from the air.
Image quality and smart recording functions
Inside is a 12 MP CMOS sensor in 1/2-inch format, combined with a fast f/2.2 aperture and an advanced image processor. Thanks to its 2-axis gimbal, the Neo 2 delivers smooth, sharp videos in 4K at up to 100 fps or vertically in 2.7K. The intelligent QuickShots such as Dronie, Circle, Rocket, Spotlight, Helix and Boomerang give creatives many ways to capture special moments dynamically. With Dolly Zoom, the Hitchcock effect for social media is barely more than a tap away, and MasterShots automate the recording and editing of spectacular video content.
The tracking performance delivers stable focus even with fast movements – ideal for action scenes and outdoor sports. The Neo 2 masters demanding flight maneuvers and always positions itself reliably and safely even in complex environments, including over water or snow.
Conclusion – safe, creative and versatile
With the Neo 2, DJI is ushering in a new era of compact camera drones that combine creative control, advanced safety and excellent image quality. The lightweight design and extensive control options make it attractive for beginners and hobby filmmakers, while the multitude of smart recording functions and high video performance also appeal to demanding content creators. With prices starting at 239 euros, the Neo 2 is now available in the DJI Store and from authorized dealers; various bundles offer additional added value for the respective application.
