While DJI has personal imaging drones, they were never truly as small as they should be for everyday life recording, and they were never affordable, like ever. That changed yesterday when it launched the DJI Neo. DJI Neo is a brand new, palm-sized drone designed to make everyday life recording fun and easy.
The new DJI Neo brings the magic of cinematic drone footage to your everyday adventures without the bulk. Weighing just under 5 ounces (142 grams), this compact drone can take off from your hand, shoot 4K ultra-stabilized videos, and snap 12 MP stills—all with the press of a button. Whether you’re filming a skateboarding trick, capturing a hike, or just messing around with friends, Neo’s AI keeps you in the frame and offers creative modes like Rocket, Circle, and Boomerang to elevate your footage.
With safety in mind, its fully enclosed propellers mean you can fly it indoors or out, without worry. The drone’s stabilization tech ensures smooth, stable footage even in breezy conditions, while QuickTransfer lets you wirelessly send your shots straight to your phone for easy sharing. And when it’s time to record some audio, the DJI Fly app has you covered, merging crystal-clear sound with your video—goodbye, propeller noise.
Ready for another adventure? Neo will be, too, thanks to its 18-minute flight time and easy charging options. From spontaneous moments to planned shoots, Neo is your pocket-sized aerial partner. And the best part? It is the most affordable DJI yet, starting at US$199. The books are open now if anyone is down.
