Bullet points of DJI takes another crack at palm-sized drones, and this one is $199
- DJI has introduced the Neo, a new palm-sized drone that can land in the palm of the user's hand, weighing 135 grams, making it the most compact and lightest drone produced by DJI.
- The drone has a listed flight time of 18 minutes on a charge, which is limited by its small size.
- The Neo is designed for social media and influencer use, with remote-free control and features like subject tracking and AI functionality.
- The drone has a range of shooting modes, including Dronie, Circle, Rocket, Spotlight, Helix, and Boomerang.
- The Neo will launch with limited availability, with pre-sales starting in the U.S. and a base price of $199, or $289 with three extra batteries.
- The drone is positioned as a beginner-friendly option, with completely caged blades to prevent accidental cuts.
- The Neo is not intended to replace the Mavic Mini, but rather target a different market segment, with the Mavic Mini being a more advanced option.
- DJI's decision to re-enter the palm drone market is seen as validation of the category's potential, with Hover's drones being a major competitor in this space.
