DJI Neo, Now Official
DJI, the world leader in consumer drones and aerial imaging technology, has announced its latest innovation: the DJI Neo. Launched today, September 5, this ultra-lightweight drone is poised to transform the way content creators capture aerial footage.
Weighing a mere 135 grams, the DJI Neo is the company’s lightest drone to date. Despite its compact size, it boasts impressive features, including 4K video capabilities, intelligent tracking, and a range of automated shooting modes.
A Drone for Everyone
The Neo is designed to break down barriers for first-time drone users. With its palm-based takeoff and landing system, users can operate the drone without a traditional controller. This feature, combined with its lightweight design, makes the Neo an ideal entry point for those new to aerial photography.
Intelligent Features for Creative Freedom
The DJI Neo comes equipped with AI-powered subject tracking and six QuickShots modes, including Dronie, Circle, and Boomerang. These automated flight patterns allow users to capture cinematic footage with minimal effort.
One of the most innovative features is the drone’s ability to record audio through a connected smartphone or Bluetooth microphone, making it a powerful tool for vloggers. The DJI Fly app also supports voice commands, allowing users to control the drone hands-free.
Versatile Control Options
While the Neo can be operated solely through a smartphone app, it’s also compatible with various controllers for more advanced users. These include the standard DJI RC-N3 remote, the DJI RC Motion 3 for gesture-based control, and even FPV goggles for an immersive flight experience.
Pricing and Availability
The DJI Neo will be available in two configurations:
1. The standalone package, including the drone and one battery – PhP10,799
2. The Fly More Combo, which includes the drone, three batteries, and the DJI RC-N3 Remote Controller – PhP18,999
Additional accessories, such as the DJI Goggles 3 and RC Motion 3, will be available for separate purchase.
The new drone is available at DJI Experience Stores across key locations including SM Aura, SM Mall of Asia, SM Megamall, SM North EDSA, SM Seaside Cebu, SM Palawan, and One Ayala. The DJI Neo can also be purchased online via TikTok Shop (@djiphilippines), Shopee, and Lazada.
A New Era for Aerial Content Creation
With its combination of portability, ease of use, and advanced features, the DJI Neo is set to make aerial photography more accessible than ever. Whether you’re a professional content creator or someone looking to add a new dimension to your personal videos, the Neo offers a compelling package that grows with your skills.
