What is the DJI Neo 2?
The Neo 2 is DJI’s compact, lightweight selfie-style drone designed for easy, hands-free flying with advanced shooting features, subject tracking, and obstacle sensing while remaining under 250 g so it can be flown more easily under many regulations.
Flight & Controls
Q: How do I control the Neo 2?
You can fly it using:
Gesture control (hands-free),
Voice control via Wi-Fi and your smartphone,
The DJI Fly app on a phone,
Traditional remote controllers (e.g., DJI RC-N2 / RC-N3),
Motion controllers / FPV goggles for immersive flight.
Q: Can it fly solo without a controller?
Yes, Neo 2 supports gesture and voice controls so it can take off, follow you, and capture shots without a remote.
Camera & Shooting
Q: What camera specs does Neo 2 have?
12 MP / 1/2-inch CMOS sensor
4K video at 60 fps (and 4K 100 fps slow-mo)
2-axis gimbal stabilization
2.7K vertical video mode
Perfect for social media clips and dynamic footage.
Q: Does it have intelligent shooting modes?
Yes, supports modes like Follow, SelfieShot, Dronie, Rocket, Circle, Dolly Zoom, and MasterShots, with more available via the DJI Fly app.
Flight Performance
Q: How long can it fly?
Up to ≈19 minutes per battery under ideal conditions.
Q: What’s the max tracking or flying speed?
It can follow subjects up to ≈12 m/s (~27 mph).
Safety & Sensors
Q: Does it detect obstacles?
Yes, it has omnidirectional obstacle sensing (including LiDAR and vision sensors), helping it avoids collisions while tracking.
Q: Are there any controls limitations?
Smartphone Wi-Fi control alone may limit flight height (~30 m) and responsiveness compared to a dedicated remote.
Obstacle sensing is an aid, not a substitute for attentive piloting.
Storage & Footage Transfer
Q: Does Neo 2 have internal storage?
Yes, 49 GB onboard storage (no microSD card slot) for video/photos.
Q: How do I transfer files?
QuickTransfer (Wi-Fi) to smartphone, fast browsing & download.
USB cable to a computer, even when the drone is powered off.
Battery & Charging
Q: How do I charge it?
Two-Way Charging Hub, up to 3 batteries at once (≈68 min).
Direct in drone, single battery in about 70 min.
Fast chargers (45–65 W) improve simultaneous charging.
The charging hub even functions as a power bank for devices.
App & Intelligent Features
Q: What does the DJI Fly app do?
Live camera view
Shooting controls & parameter adjustments
Voice control support
Quick editing tools (e.g., Glamour Effects)
Rapid footage transfer to your phone.
Q: What languages are supported for voice control?
Currently English and Mandarin.
Notes & Precautions
Manual flight mode (full stick) isn’t supported yet, Neo 2 is primarily an automated / assisted flyer.
Always scan environments visually, sensors might miss thin or very small obstacles.
What is the certification level of DJI Neo 2 in Europe?
DJI Neo 2 is C0 certified by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
Compared with DJI Neo, what are the main improvements of DJI Neo 2?
DJI Neo 2 has comprehensive improvements in its vision sensing system, camera system, video transmission system, and intelligent features. The main improvements include:
1. Newly added omnidirectional monocular vision system and forward-facing LiDAR: With the new omnidirectional obstacle sensing feature
Neo 2 can detect and avoid obstacles when tracking from the front or sides, so even beginners can operate the drone with ease, stability, and confidence. Neo 2 supports versatile flight], with enhanced hovering and positioning capabilities over Neo, making it easier to navigate challenging environments like indoors, near buildings, over water, or on snow.
2. Enhanced imaging performance: 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. Shoot in 4K/60fps video, 4K/100fps slow motion, and 2.7K vertical video, all stabilized by a 2-axis gimbal.
3. New onboard display, a dedicated takeoff button, and a mode switch button.
4. New intelligent features include gesture control, Return to Palm, SelfieShot, Dolly Zoom, MasterShots, and Cycling Follow, among others.
5. Increased internal storage up to 49 GB.
