DJI has finally officially announced the launch date for its new Neo selfie drone - it will be on September 5th at 15:00. However, thanks to leakers like Jasper Ellens, many more details about the Neo are already known, including the price: the Neo will cost only 199 euros solo, and 350 euros in the Fly More Combo. DJI Neo The DJI Neo, which weighs only 135 grams and measures approximately 13 x 16 x 5 cm, is launched from the palm of your hand and lands there again - the integrated rotor protection is designed to make injuries impossible. The desired selfie shots can then be easily taken by voice command or by pressing a button on the Neo itself - completely without a remote control. The Neo records UltraHD 4K video with RockSteady stabilization at 75 Mbps in MP4 format - AI can automatically track the user for selfie shots, and the Neo also features DJI&s QuickShot and Easy ACRO functions. With the help of the free tool Gyroflow, the video can also be stabilized afterward. However, there is only 22 GB of internal storage available for recording - the Neo does not have an SD card slot. As an alternative to voice command control, the DJI Neo can also be flown immersively from a first-person perspective as an FPV drone using the Goggles (in manual mode) and the Motion Controller, as well as, of course, with a controller and - without any controller - just via Bluetooth using the app on a smartphone/tablet. Via app and Wi-Fi, the maximum transmission distance is around 50 meters; with the RC-N3 remote controller (the RC-N2 is also said to work), 1080p/30fps video can be live-streamed up to a distance of 10 km. Neo with removable rotor guard DisadvantagesThe low weight of 135 grams has, in addition to the advantage of being in drone class C0 - meaning it can be flown without a special drone license and drone registration and is also subject to less stringent usage restrictions - also a downside: the flight time is only a maximum of 18 minutes - if the removable rotor guard is mounted, the flight time is even only 17 minutes. This is little compared to the 46 minutes of the latest Mavic 3 or the 34 minutes of the Mini 4 Pro, but it emphasizes the unique character of the Neo as a drone specifically for short selfie videos.DJI Neo taking off from the hand The image sensor is also significantly smaller than in other models, at 1/2" (for example, the Mini 4 Pro uses a 1/1.3" sensor), and features a 13mm f/2.8 wide-angle lens with a 117.6° field of view. The maximum flight altitude is 2000 meters, and the maximum wind speed at which the Neo can still be flown is 8 m/s (Force 4). DJI Neo with integrated control buttons There are already pictures of a crashed Neo - Jasper Ellens speculates that these won&t be the last of this kind, as the Neo lacks obstacle sensors and could quickly crash into obstacles when autonomously circling the user in selfie mode. DJI Neo Fly More Combo According to Jasper Ellens, the Neo is slightly quieter at 78 dB than the Avata at 82 dB, but its frequency is higher and - at least to our perception - significantly more unpleasant:
