DJI Neo is DJI’s most affordable palm-sized drone, designed for on-the-go creators who want quick, shareable clips without a premium price. At roughly 135 g, Neo remains one of the lightest DJI options, with a simple smartphone-control model and 4K video capture. It provides a straightforward set of cameras and intelligent modes, including gesture and self-timer opportunities, and is supported by the DJI Fly app. While its camera and sensor suite are more modest than the Minis, its portability and price make it a popular starter model in many markets.
