[Expired]Neo 2 Arrives: The Next Evolution of Beginner Drones
As an upgraded version of Neo, Neo 2 maintains the "lightweight and user-friendly" positioning but makes several practical improvements to key experiences. It's not a high-end aerial photography drone or an extreme sports tracking device, but rather a smart digital device designed for ordinary users.
Obstacle avoidance system added, safer flights for beginners
Although the original Neo was designed to be sturdy and "crash resistant," it lacked active obstacle avoidance features, making flights somewhat nerve-wracking. Neo 2 now includes a forward-facing LiDAR sensor and downward infrared sensors, which can automatically detect obstacles when flying forward or sideways to avoid collisions with walls and trees. For first-time drone users, this upgrade directly reduces the risk of crashes.
More natural gesture controls, more intuitive small screen display
Neo 2 adds gesture control functionality, allowing you to adjust the drone's distance and position by waving your hand, completing simple operations without using the remote control. A small screen has been added to the top of the device to display current mode status, which is more intuitive than the original Neo's method of using flashing LED lights to indicate status.
Faster speed, better wind resistance, more stable footage
Neo 2's maximum following speed has been increased to 12 meters per second (approximately 27mph), considerably faster than the original's 18mph after firmware updates. Wind resistance has also improved, with the official claim of stable hovering in wind speeds up to 24mph, meaning less risk of drifting away during outdoor shooting.
For photography, Neo 2 continues to use a 1/2-inch CMOS sensor but now pairs it with a dual-axis gimbal, significantly improving image stability. It supports automatic 4K 60fps recording, and up to 100fps in manual flight control mode. Built-in storage has been expanded from 22GB to 49GB, and battery capacity increased to 1606mAh, providing up to 19 minutes of flight time.
Still affordably priced, with more package options
The Neo 2 base model is priced at 1499 yuan (approximately $211), slightly more expensive than the original, but considering the comprehensive upgrades in obstacle avoidance, gesture control, and recording performance, this price increase is reasonable. DJI also offers a battery and multi-charger package (1999 yuan) and a fully-equipped version (including motion controller and headset, 3699 yuan) currently only available in China.
For users who have never used a drone before, Neo 2 isn't a complicated flying machine but rather a smart camera that can automatically follow you, recognize gestures, and avoid obstacles. As long as you want to record your life, it can help you capture footage with more spatial awareness and atmosphere.
问大家
: Can this be used indoors? Is it easy to break if bumped? 这个能在室内玩么,容不容易撞坏
: It should be a bit safer than Avatar 2. 应该比Avatar 2还要安全一点
: Don't worry, it's hard to break. 不会的,很难撞坏
: Can you fly while skiing? 滑雪能飞吗
: According to the introduction, it can do more than the first generation, including tracking vehicles, skiing, and various intelligent recognition and tracking features. 看介绍说能,比一代多了追踪车、滑雪、各种智能识别追踪

: For outdoor sports, my Hover Air Pro has excellent follow-shot performance. The Neo is too small, but unfortunately, the Neo2 hasn't been released in the US yet
戶外運動我Hover Air Pro 跟拍效果很棒, Neo太小了, 可惜Neo2還沒在美國上市

回复 @Byakurans : This is not a drone for aerial photography... It basically flies within your line of sight. It focuses on portability and ease of use. 这不是航拍机。。。基本就是在你视野里飞一飞。主打便携和操作简单

: When will it be available in the United States? 什么时候能上市美国
: Drones are basically out of the game. 无人机基本没戏了
: The flight time is only 13 minutes. 飞行时间只有 13 分钟
: Entry-level model, its flight time cannot be compared with Avatar, let alone the Mavic series. 入门级别,不能同Avatar更不能同Mavic系列比拼飞行时间哦
: Where can I buy it? 哪里买到?
