DJI has introduced the lightweight, intelligent Neo 2—now the company’s most compact model to feature an omnidirectional obstacle-avoidance system. It supports gesture controls, automatic palm landing, intelligent tracking, and self-portrait options. Weighing just 151 grams, its flight time has been extended to up to 19 minutes, underscoring a clear focus on portability.
Neo 2 comes with a 12‑megapixel camera built around a 1/2‑inch CMOS sensor and an f/2.2 aperture. It records 4K video at 60 fps, offers slow motion at 4K 100 fps, and shoots in a vertical 2.7K format. Thanks to two‑axis stabilization, footage stays smooth even when the drone is on the move, keeping the setup geared toward clean, straightforward results.
The headline upgrade is an omnidirectional vision system that blends lidar, monocular sensors, and infrared recognition, a combination that should make flights feel safer. The drone also includes intelligent shooting modes, among them Smart Selfie and a one‑click mini‑movie mode, nudging the experience toward simple, tap‑and‑go filming. Pricing starts at 1,499 yuan for the base kit, while the top package with a controller and goggles is priced at 3,699 yuan.
