Revamped Camera and Imaging Features of the DJI Neo 2 Drone

The Neo 2 has been developed to capture sharper, lower-noise images. It features a 12MP 1/2-inch CMOS sensor with an f/2.2 aperture. Its new dual-axis gimbal system also provides enhanced video stabilization. This allows users to record video at up to 4K resolution and 60 fps. For those who enjoy slow motion, 4K/100 fps and 2.7K vertical video are available for vertical shooting.

The new Neo 2 makes drone flying safer than ever. It utilizes an omnidirectional sensing system for obstacle avoidance. This system includes single-view, forward-facing LiDAR, and downward-facing infrared sensors. A built-in propeller guard ensures the drone’s safety even at low altitudes or indoors. The drone’s palm-mounted takeoff and landing feature simplifies flight. The device’s flight time of up to 19 minutes and Level 5 wind resistance enhance performance.

The Neo 2’s intelligent shooting modes provide users with creative flexibility. In addition to features like Dolly Zoom, QuickShots, and MasterShots, the brand-new SelfieShot mode has been introduced. SelfieShot automatically adjusts the frame for waist-up, full-body, or long shots without a tripod. The device has 49GB of internal storage. This content can also be transferred to your phone via Wi-Fi at speeds of up to 80 megabytes per second. Pricing varies by region. The single drone is available starting at £209 in the UK and €239 in Europe.
