DJI NEO Partially Revealed: The Mini Selfie Drone With 4K Video and AI
DJI , the world leader in the drone sector, seems ready to launch a new model, a ultra-compact selfie drone , the DJI NEO . Some leaked images online show the drone in person, confirming its small size and an elegant design in white and gray. The drone seems to be equipped with quick selection buttons on the body, probably to select preset flight modes and control the drone without having to use the remote control that is still provided, at least in the combo package.
If these images leak on the DJI NEO are real (a necessary clarification since we are in the AI era) confirm our previous hypotheses even if the drone It doesn't appear to be foldable , however it aims for maximum portability thanks to its featherweight of just 135 grams which makes it a candidate for the class C0 of the Open Category which does not require the so-called license. Technical features revealed by the package include:
- Take-off and landing from the palm of your hand : a feature that simplifies use and makes the drone accessible even to beginners.
- Smart Tracking of subjects and movements QuickShots : Thanks to built-in artificial intelligence, the NEO promises to automatically track your subject and create cinematic shots with just one tap.
- Ultra-stabilized 4K video : Despite its small size, the drone should ensure smooth, high-quality footage.
- Full Propeller Guards : A key safety feature, especially for less experienced pilots.
- Quick selection keys : allow you to control the drone intuitively and immediately, without having to use the remote control.
Obviously some questions still remain on the DJI NEO. The leaked images do not clarify whether it will be equipped with GPS , an essential feature for advanced functions such as automatic return home. Also, the possible compatibility with DJI Goggles 3 for first-person view (FPV) flight remains to be confirmed. The hotkeys suggest a simplified flight experience, but it is unclear what features will be accessible directly from the drone.
DJI NEO could revolutionize the mini selfie drone market , offering a powerful and versatile product in an extremely compact format. The presence of quick selection buttons could make the drone more accessible to a wider audience, even those who have no experience with traditional radio controls. The challenge with Hover Air X1 is open, and enthusiasts can't wait to find out which of the two models will prove to be the best.
With regard to price and launch date , we hypothesize a range from €300 to €500, depending on the trim, with an official presentation at the end of the month / beginning of September.
