DJI has released its most affordable drone to date, the DJI Neo, and it has immediately made its way to the Philippines.
The DJI Neo is an affordable and compact drone, perfect for first-time flyers. It is so compact it fits the palm of your hands and even has AI Subject Tracking and DirectionTrack features for easy controls. It has six shooting modes that you can access with a press of a button so you can do QuickShots. No complicated setup needed.
For better cinematic control, you can fly the Neo using remote controllers, RC Motion, DJI Googles, the DJI Fly mobile app, and more. It can even be controlled by voice for an easier flying experience.
For the camera, the Neo comes with a 1/2-inch sensor that can snap 12-megapixel photos and 4K UHD videos at 30fps with image stabilization. It then has a built-in 22GB of storage that can store up to 55 minutes of video under 1080p@60fps or 40minutes under 4K@30fps. It then uses WiFi connection to quickly transfer files to your mobile device.
Other notable features are the Beauty Skin and Beauty Body — glamour effects akin to those found on smartphones.
It also has a Return to Home (RTH) feature, where the drone would automatically land where it took off. Plus, a level-4 wind resistance, a battery that gives an 18-minute flight time, and a USB-C port for charging. The battery is also removable so you can swap a full one while the other is charging.
The DJI Neo has a price of Php10,799 in the Philippines, while the Fly More Combo that includes three batteries and DJI RC-N3 Remote costs almost twice as much at Php18,999. You can get it at DJI physical stores across the Philippines and online via Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop.
