DJI recently updated its drone product line again, officially unveiling the DJI Neo 2, designed for "zero-barrier drone shooting." This new drone boasts an ultra-lightweight 151-gram body, allowing it to fly without registration in most regions (including Taiwan), providing maximum convenience for more creators.
Compared toPrevious generation modelsThe Neo 2 not only features a dual-axis gimbal, but also upgrades the image specifications to 4K 100fps, and more importantly, introduces the "omnidirectional obstacle avoidance" function, while adding a "cycling scene" mode to the smart follow function.
Importing 4K 100fps high frame rate, with comprehensive improvements in wind resistance and speed.
The DJI Neo 2 features significant upgrades in image specifications and flight performance. Its image sensor can support up to 4K 100fps (16:9) high frame rate video and 4K 60fps (4:3) format shooting, leaving more room for cropping and slow motion in post-production.
Its maximum flight speed has increased from 8 meters per second to 12 meters per second compared to its predecessor, and its wind resistance has also been improved from level 4 to level 5. In addition, the new aircraft has also incorporated RockSteady electronic stabilization technology to ensure image stability under high dynamic conditions.
Addressing the shortcomings of its predecessor: Introducing omnidirectional obstacle avoidance and improving hovering positioning performance.
Addressing the shortcomings of the previous Neo, which only supported obstacle avoidance in front and below, the biggest upgrade of the DJI Neo 2 is the addition of "omnidirectional obstacle avoidance" (presumably a six-way visual sensing method). This allows it to automatically detect and avoid obstacles when following from the side or flying in complex environments, greatly improving the confidence and safety of beginners.
Meanwhile, DJI has also improved its hovering and positioning capabilities for "all-weather flight," claiming it will be more adept in complex environments such as indoors, near buildings, and on snow. However, DJI still warns that water reflections can easily cause system misjudgments, and therefore recommends avoiding flight over water.
Enhanced independent operation: Built-in 49GB capacity, supports device parameter adjustment
In terms of ease of use, the Neo 2 enhances its independent operation capabilities, allowing users to adjust flight parameters directly on the drone itself for "one-click video recording." Users can confirm and select shooting modes via the built-in display panel, eliminating the need to rely entirely on the app. Furthermore, the Neo 2 features an evolved Force Gestures control system, making single-handed or two-handed gesture recognition more accurate, and it can also be operated via voice control.
As for the digital image transmission module accessory included in the Fly Free Package, it allows the Neo 2 to use additional operating accessories such as remote controls, increasing the flexibility of control.
In terms of specifications, the Neo 2's built-in storage capacity has been increased from 22GB to 49GB, and the single battery life has also increased from 17 minutes to 19 minutes. In addition, it also introduces the Wi-Fi 6 connectivity standard, enabling data transfer speeds of up to 80MB per second.
Listing Information
The DJI Neo 2 is clearly an upgrade that significantly improves image quality and flight safety on the basis of "zero-barrier aerial photography," and should be a significant incentive for Neo 1 users to upgrade.
The suggested retail price for the DJI Neo 2 basic standalone version (excluding the remote controller) is NT$6290. DJI also launched the Fly More Package at the same time, with a suggested retail price of NT$10490. The package includes the aircraft, RC-N3 remote controller, 3 smart flight batteries, two-way charging system, propeller guards, and digital image transmission module.
