DJI has just unveiled a brand-new drone globally. The brand is renowned for its drone and the latest model arrives as its lightest and smallest drone yet. The DJI Neo packs some impressive features despite its ultra compact form factor. So here are all the details.

DJI Neo Drone: What’s so special about it?

Weighing just 135 grams, the DJI Neo is the lightest drone from the company. Apart from its form factor, another notable aspect is the support for AI subject tracking. It also comes with 6 shooting modes, namely Dronie, Circle, Rocket, Spotlight, helix, and Boomerang. Users can even use their voice controls to wake the DJI Fly app. The drone can be used via the virtual joysticks on the Fly app with a total control range of up to 50m.

The DJI Neo features a 1/2-inch 12-megapixel sensor to capture stills with support for 4K video recording at 30 fps. Pairing it with the DJI RC-N3, one can achieve a maximum video transmission distance of 10km. DJI’s latest drone can also be used with DJI Goggles, an RC Motion 3, and FPV Remote Controller 3. The lightweight drone can takeoff from the palm of your hand. Its 22GB internal storage can hold up to 40 minutes of 40K@30fps videos or 55 minutes of 1080p@60fps videos.

The DJI Neo drone employs an infrared and monocular vision positioning system and even has a return to home feature. DJI’s mini drone has Level 4 wind resistance, up to 18 minutes of flight time, multiple control options, full coverage propeller guards, and QuickShots support.

Pricing and Availability

The DJI drone has officially been announced in the global market for a price tag of 199 US Dollars. It is available in a bundle that groups a bunch of useful accessories like three batteries and a USB Type-C charging hub with the DJI Neo Drone for just 289 US Dollars.

DJI seems to have several drones in the pipeline. Rumors suggest a mid-range Air 3S and a flagship Magic 4 drone are on the way. But DJI might have something entirely different in the works – a pocket-sized drone called the Neo.

The rumors of this pocketable DJI drone started with a post on X (formerly Twitter) by tipster @DroneMood. The post features an image of a US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) registration label for the DJI Neo, model number DN1A0626. The label also reveals the drone’s battery capacity of 1435mAh or 10.5Wh.

Additionally, the post included stills from a video shared by another X user, @OsitaLV, showing the drone in action. The video tweet, which we’ve embedded below, reveals a very compact drone that appears to have a built-in propeller guard.

Moreover, the absence of an FPV headset in the leaked footage hints that the Neo might be designed as a ‘hover’ drone, similar to the HoverAir X1, rather than a cinewhoop model. So it could focus on selfie-style aerial photography and simple flight operations.

Based on the battery specifications, drone expert Weiliang Zhang estimates that the DJI Neo could weigh around 169 grams and suggests it might have a flight time of about 15 minutes with a full-axis gimbal.

Interestingly, although DJI has yet to officially confirm the Neo, @DroneMood seems to have found a premature listing for the drone on Walmart.

The listing suggests that the DJI Neo Fly More Combo, which typically includes extra batteries, a charging hub, and a carrying case, will be priced at $329. This price point is comparable to the HoverAir X1 combo kit, which sells for $399.

Apart from this, details about the DJI Neo are limited at the moment. We’ll keep you updated with any new information as it becomes available.
