Design and Safety First

그리고 DJI Neo sports a white/light gray color scheme with a rounded, streamlined body. Its standout feature is the integrated propeller guards, forming protective cages around each propeller. These guards are removable, offering flexibility for different flying conditions.

It seems to be a compact, consumer-focused drone with an emphasis on safety (propeller guards) and ease of use.

Smart Features for Easy Flying

The Neo isn’t just about looks. It’s equipped with:

• A forward-facing camera for (obstacle avoidance), tracking, and video recording
• Top-mounted control panel for accessing intelligent flight modes like QuickShots
• Bottom obstacle avoidance sensors for precise indoor hovering and landing
• LED battery status indicators and landing light

Remote Controller

The separate controller unit matches the drone’s white color scheme and includes:

• Dual joysticks for flight control
• Cinematic, Normal, and Sport fly modes
• Return to Home button
• Two (customizable) function buttons, likely for gimbal control and video recording / photo.
• Smartphone mount
• We expect the DJI Neo to feature the latest version of OcuSync

Accessories and Power

The Fly More Combo is expected to include three batteries and a multi-battery charging hub that doubles as a power bank.

Specs and Launch

While full specifications aren’t confirmed, earlier rumors suggest the Neo will weigh about 135 grams (4.8 ounces) and offer features like palm takeoff, AI tracking, and 4K video recording. The DJI Neo is anticipated to launch on August 20th, 2024.

DroneXL’s Take

그리고 DJI Neo looks poised to shake up the drone industry with its blend of portability, safety features, and smart capabilities. Its emphasis on ease of use could make it an attractive option for beginners, while more advanced pilots will appreciate the removable propeller guards and intelligent flight modes. As we’ve seen with DJI’s recent Mini 4 Pro, the company continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in compact drones. The Neo’s launch could further cement DJI’s position as a leader in consumer 드론 기술.
