DJI's Latest Drone Release Brings Enhanced Safety Features and Improved Performance
The tech giant DJI has just unveiled its latest drone model, the Neo 2 selfie drone, boasting a plethora of upgrades over its predecessor. The new drone features LiDAR sensors for obstacle avoidance, which is set to significantly improve safety while flying in complex environments or following users around during flight.
This advanced system, paired with downward-looking infrared sensors, enables the drone to navigate through challenging weather conditions with increased accuracy and precision. Additionally, the Neo 2 boasts improved gesture controls, allowing users to adjust position and distance by moving their hands around for effortless selfie-taking. This feature complements existing motion controllers and DJI's RC-N3 remote controller.
The updated drone has seen a notable increase in its maximum speed, reaching nearly 27 miles per hour – significantly faster than the original model. Moreover, DJI claims that this improved speed allows the Neo 2 to maintain stability in winds up to around 24 miles per hour, rendering it more suitable for challenging weather conditions.
Furthermore, the drone's battery life has been enhanced with a larger 1606mAh rechargeable battery, resulting in an impressive 19 minutes of usage per charge. In contrast, its predecessor could only manage between 14 and 17 minutes of usage.
The Neo 2 also boasts improved camera capabilities, featuring a dual-axis gimbal for enhanced stability and a wider field of view. The drone can now capture stunning 4K footage at up to 60 frames per second, with manual piloting allowing it to reach an impressive 100 frames per second.
In terms of storage, the Neo 2 has seen a notable increase in its internal capacity, rising from 22GB to a substantial 49GB. However, this upgrade comes at the cost of increased weight, as the drone now weighs 151 grams compared to the original's 135 grams.
While the new drone offers numerous enhancements over its predecessor, it remains exclusive to China for the time being. DJI has yet to confirm plans for a wider global release, despite hopes that the price will remain relatively stable at around $211 in US dollars – although tariffs may impact this pricing in the future.

! The LiDAR sensors are gonna be a game changer, especially when flying in crazy weather conditions 
. And can we talk about how epic it is that you can take selfies while flying with just hand gestures? 
The increased speed and stability in winds are major wins for pilots like me 
. But, tbh, I'm a bit disappointed it's only exclusive to China right now 
. Let's hope DJI decides to release it globally soon and keep the price stable at $211 
. Can't wait to get my hands on this bad boy and take some insane 4K footage 
!
19 minutes of battery life is a big win 
and LiDAR sensors are a game-changer for safety 
. Can't wait to see these upgrades in action 
! The safety features are going to be a game-changer for beginners and pros alike. I mean, who doesn't want a drone that can navigate through tricky weather conditions with ease? And the gesture controls for taking selfies sound like such a breeze – it's perfect for those moments when you just wanna capture the perfect shot without messing around with complicated remotes 
.
Imagine capturing those sick aerial vids with the Neo 2, especially when it's all about that selfie life 
. Anyway, LiDAR sensors for obstacle avoidance is a total game-changer, no more crashing into trees or stuff 
. Can't wait to see what else DJI comes up with! 
The fact that they're only releasing this thing in China is also pretty sketchy, like DJI's trying to keep an eye on their sales numbers or something... 
27mph is insane! It's perfect for those crazy windy days or when you're trying to get the best shot for your selfie.
but what really gets me excited is the improved performance, 27 miles per hour is insane! i mean, who needs to be that fast? 
and this drone delivers on that promise. and btw, longer battery life means more time in the air = pure joy 
i mean 4k vids at 100fps? what even is that for? i remember when 720p was the max on my old smartphone 
also, 19 mins of battery life thats actually kinda impressive
