The DJI Neo 2 is a compact, lightweight drone with omnidirectional obstacle sensing, gesture control, SelfieShot, and improved ActiveTrack for low-altitude, follow-shooting during activities like running or cycling.
Easy to fly for beginners, Neo 2 is ideal for family outings, outdoor sports, travel and FPV experience, says DJI. It has a small onboard display to the left of the camera when facing the drone, which shows the selected shooting mode. The drone can be launched from the palm by pointing it at yourself and pressing the take-off button. After completing the desired content capture, the Return-to-Palm feature allows Neo 2 to precisely locate your palm, return safely, and land steadily.
When using Gesture Control, its direction and proximity can be controlled by using one palm or both. With both palms facing the drone, move your hands apart to make the drone fly away, while bringing the hands together to make it approach. No remote controller is needed for camera angle adjustment.
The Neo 2 also supports voice control, allowing flying commands to be sent by smartphone or Bluetooth headphones during any sporting or other activity. For those looking for a longer transmission range, Neo 2 can be paired with the DJI RC-N3 remote controller to achieve a maximum video transmission distance of 10 km.
Neo 2 features a 12MP, 1/2-inch CMOS sensor with an f/2.2 aperture and high-performance image processor for clearer, low-noise footage stabilized by a new two-axis gimbal. When combined with DJI’s ActiveTrack and new SelfieShot, subjects are automatically framed for smooth, hands-free shooting from start to finish. Multiple intelligent shooting modes unlock fresh perspectives and 4K video recording is enabled at up to 100fps for slow motion or 2.7K vertical video.
The Neo 2’s enhanced tracking performance offers faster response and improved stability, enabling smooth and steady tracking for running, cycling, and more. In open areas, it can track at speeds of up to 12m/s. Eight-direction tracking (forward, backward, left, right, and four diagonals) produces more natural follow shots and expands creative possibilities. In complex environments, the drone can switch to rear tracking mode, steadily keeping the subject in focus.
For capturing solo or group moments hands-free, Neo 2’s new SelfieShot allows you to switch among waist-up, full-body, and long shots without a tripod or extra assistance.
Neo 2 supports intelligent shooting modes like Dolly Zoom, QuickShots, and MasterShots. Dolly Zoom supports Hitchcock effect and enables you to create compelling videos for social media. DJI’s signature QuickShots includes Dronie, Circle, Rocket, Spotlight, Helix, and Boomerang, allowing cycling, skateboarding, or other activity follow shots to be created with ease. MasterShots automatically captures diverse shots with creative camera movements and intelligently edits with music to produce high-quality videos.
The Neo 2’s omnidirectional monocular vision system, combined with forward-facing LiDAR and a downward infrared sensing system, detects obstacles in real time for safe, confident flying. Coupled with an integrated propeller guard design, which provides all-around protection, beginners can enjoy peace of mind when operating the drone. Neo 2 supports versatile flight with enhanced hovering and positioning capabilities over Neo, making it easier to navigate challenging environments such as indoors, close to buildings, and over water or snow.
With level 5 wind resistance, up to 19-minute flight time, and 49GB internal storage, Neo 2 can save up to 105 minutes of 4K/60fps video, up to 175 minutes of 4K/30fps video, or 241 minutes of 1080p/60fps video. Once saved, no extra data cables are needed to transfer the footage; connect to a phone by Wi-Fi to quickly transfer footage to the DJI Fly app at up to 80 MB/s for post production and sharing.
