DJI's latest selfie drone, the Neo 2, has arrived with a slew of upgrades that promise to make flying and capturing life's moments even more seamless.
The big-ticket item here is the inclusion of LiDAR sensors for obstacle avoidance. This cutting-edge technology pairs perfectly with downward-looking infrared sensors to create an enhanced safety net, allowing the drone to follow you during flight without worrying about collisions or hazards getting in its way. Integrated guards still protect the propellers from damage, providing peace of mind.
Another game-changer is the addition of gesture controls for effortless selfie videos on-the-go. By simply moving your hands around, you can adjust position and distance with unprecedented ease. The Neo 2 also supports motion controllers and DJI's RC-N3 remote controller, giving users a range of options to customize their flying experience.
Speed has been cranked up to almost 27MPH - significantly faster than the original's follow speed. According to DJI, this new drone is better equipped to handle challenging weather conditions, including maintaining a stable hover in winds up to 24MPH.
Battery life has also seen an upgrade, with a larger 1606mAh rechargeable battery that can deliver up to 19 minutes of use per charge - a marked improvement over the original's 14-17 minute range. The camera now features a dual-axis gimbal for smoother footage and has been upgraded to capture stunning 4K video at up to 60FPS, with manual piloting capable of reaching an astonishing 100FPS.
Internal storage has also seen a significant boost, increasing from 22GB to 49GB. However, the added weight due to these upgrades is still relatively minor, at just 16 grams more than its predecessor.
While the Neo 2's release is currently limited to China, DJI promises that it will be available in wider markets soon - and for those eager to get their hands on this tech marvel, prices are expected to remain relatively similar.

The upgrades on this new selfie drone are insane! LiDAR sensors are the game-changer here - can't believe they're making flying and taking sick selfies even safer with that stuff 
Plus, gesture controls for seamless vids? That's just future-proof tech right there 
And the speed and camera upgrades? Mind-blowing. I mean, who needs a fancy car when you can fly 27MPH with a drone 
. Definitely gonna be eyeing this one out - China market release is the only bummer 
I mean, can you even imagine having a drone that knows how to avoid crashing into things? It's like having your own personal helicopter cop! 
The LiDAR sensors and gesture controls sound so cool, I'm pretty sure it'll make me the envy of all my friends... or just a weirdo with a fancy new toy 
. But seriously, 4K video at 60FPS? That's like having a mini movie studio in your backyard! 
Can't wait to see what other tricks this drone has up its sleeve! 
. and gesture controls for selfies? yes please! 
it's amazing how much tech has advanced in just one year... the camera upgrade is insane too, 4k at 60fps? wow 
i'm definitely considering getting this drone ASAP... plus, it's still pretty light so you won't feel like a total awkwardo flying it around 
and honestly i'm not sure how much of a diff the liDAR sensors make - i mean it's still gonna crash if u fly too close to a tree 
Also, 27MPH is pretty fast, but I'm curious if it's gonna be stable enough in those windy conditions... 
i mean dont get me wrong the gesture controls sound cool and all but how often are ppl actually flying their drones in a way that requires manual adjustments lol? it just seems like a gimmick to me 
also i'm pretty sure 27MPH is not that much of a speed boost its just gonna be a buzzkill for those flying over crowded areas 
The LiDAR sensors are gonna make flying a breeze, especially during those crazy windy days. And gesture controls for selfies? Genius! 
The camera upgrades are pretty sweet too... who wouldn't want that smooth 4K footage and 100FPS manual piloting? 
! LiDAR sensors and gesture controls? that sounds like straight out of a sci-fi movie lol 
i'm not sure about the increased weight though, 16g might not seem like much but it's still extra grams right? 
. can't wait to see how these changes impact the market when they're available worldwide 
!
I'm low-key hyped about the new features on the Neo 2! Gesture controls for selfies? Game-changer, right? 
And the camera specs? 4K at 60FPS? That's crazy fast! I'm loving the idea of this drone handling challenging weather conditions too. Can't wait to see it in action when it hits wider markets 
. Fingers crossed it hits the global market soon so everyone can enjoy this tech marvel 
... LiDAR sensors are pretty cool lol, so many safety features now, less worries about crashing into things 
. 19 mins of battery life is def a win, wish it was longer though, lol 
it's gonna make flying a breeze 
but 16 grams more weight is still super reasonable 
can't wait to see it in wider markets soon
