Making its debut at IFA 2024, the Neo impresses with a weight of just 135 grams and a host of innovative features that make flying and recording videos easier than ever before. Whether for everyday use, on the go or at home – the DJI Neo is set to revolutionize filming.
- Compact size and easy handling: Starts from the palm of your hand and flies without a remote control.
- High-quality recordings: 12 MP photos and stabilized 4K videos with up to 30 fps.
- Intelligent flight modes: Six QuickShots for creative shots from different angles.
- Safety: All-round protection for propellers and return function for safe operation.
The DJI Neo: Compact, lightweight and easy to use
The DJI Neo sets new standards in the world of drones with its impressive combination of low weight and powerful features. At just 135 grams, it is DJI’s lightest drone to date and can take off and land comfortably in the palm of your hand. This new ease of use makes it possible to capture stunning footage without the need for remote control. Simply press the mode button and select the desired shooting mode – the rest is controlled by the drone itself. This allows users to capture their experiences quickly and easily, whether skating, hiking or simply in everyday life.
Equipped with a 1/2-inch image sensor, the DJI Neo captures 12-megapixel photos and stabilized 4K video at 30 fps. DJI’s high-quality stabilization algorithms, combined with a single-axis mechanical gimbal, ensure clear and smooth footage even in turbulent situations or strong wind conditions. With a flight time of up to 18 minutes, the Neo offers enough time to capture creative videos and photos without interruption.
Intelligent flight modes for creative shots
The DJI Neo is more than just a drone – it is a creative tool that impresses with intelligent functions. Built-in AI subject tracking allows the drone to automatically follow the target, creating stable videos from different angles. Whether you are following a cyclist, a skateboarder or simply a person in motion, the Neo always stays in focus.
For even more creativity, QuickShots is a collection of six intelligent shooting modes that allow for different trajectories and perspectives:
- Dronie: Flies backwards and ascends while the camera remains focused on the subject.
- Circling: Orbits the target object at a steady pace.
- Rocket: Climbs vertically while the camera is pointed downwards.
- Spotlight: Fixes the subject in the image while the drone rotates on its own axis.
- Helix: Combines ascending and circling to create a dynamic spiral movement.
- Boomerang: Draws an oval trajectory that surrounds the subject.
These modes are ideal for impressive and dynamic shots that would otherwise only be possible with professional equipment.
Control flexibility and seamless integration
DJI has designed the Neo to work completely without remote control. Alternatively, it can be controlled via the DJI Fly app, which enables a range of up to 50 meters. Virtual joysticks on the user interface provide an intuitive control option, while various tracking angles and distances can be adjusted directly in the app.
The DJI Neo is also compatible with other DJI control devices such as the RC-N3, RC Motion and DJI Goggles. These options expand the control options and make the drone attractive for advanced users who want more control and flexibility in operation. For vloggers and content creators, the DJI Fly app also enables seamless integration of audio recordings via smartphone, with options for noise reduction and synchronized editing.
Conclusion: DJI Neo – innovation in the palm of your hand
With the DJI Neo, DJI is launching a drone on the market that is characterized by its compactness, user-friendliness and intelligent functions. Whether for amateur filmmakers, sports enthusiasts or technology fans – the Neo makes it easier than ever to capture special moments. It is available now at a price of €199, while the Fly More Combo is available for €349.
