One-line verdict
This 4K camera drone makes aerial filming pleasingly less ceremonial, provided you respect its 19-minute maximum flight time and its very human blind spots around cables.
Best for
People who want a compact 4K camera drone with palm launch, gesture control and ActiveTrack for planned outdoor clips.
Skip it if
Skip it if rain, power lines, branches or a need for flights beyond 19 minutes are routine parts of your plan.
The full picture
There is a particular modern urge to obtain an aerial shot of a walk, a family gathering or a suspiciously photogenic campsite, then discover that operating a drone can involve enough buttons to qualify as a minor administrative role. The DJI Neo 2 is aimed squarely at that urge: a 151 g camera drone with palm take-off and landing, gesture control, ActiveTrack and SelfieShot.
We think that combination makes it unusually easy to understand why a person might want one. The Neo 2 can record at up to 4K/60fps, uses a 12MP 1/2-inch CMOS sensor with an f/2.2 aperture, and has a 2-axis gimbal. Those are the relevant camera facts; the important social fact is that it has a route to aerial footage that does not begin with pretending to be a small airport.
This Fly More Combo is the sensible listing to consider because it includes three batteries and the Two-Way Charging Hub, alongside guards, spares and the bits that have an irritating tendency to become important only after they are misplaced. DJI lists a maximum flight time of 19 minutes, while the hub can charge three batteries from 0% to 100% in approximately 68 minutes with up to 65W charging power.
A little scepticism remains compulsory. Obstacle sensing is not a force field, gesture control has lighting and framing requirements, and the drone is not waterproof. The Neo 2 is an appealingly compact answer to a very specific desire, but it still expects its operator to notice the tree branch, the power line and, ideally, the weather.
The Irresistible
- Palm take-off and landing, gesture control, ActiveTrack and SelfieShot give the DJI Neo 2 several ways to operate beyond the usual controller-first ritual.
- It records up to 4K/60fps, with 4K/100fps slow motion supported when using a remote controller or motion controller.
- The Fly More Combo supplies three batteries, a charging hub, propeller guards, spare propellers and screws, plus a gimbal protector.
The Clever Part
- At 151 g, the stated weight is helpfully modest for a camera drone intended to travel beyond the cupboard where ambitious gadgets go to retire.
- The 49GB internal storage is useful when a memory-card scramble would otherwise become part of the outing.
- The Two-Way Charging Hub can charge all three batteries simultaneously in approximately 68 minutes from 0% to 100% when supplied with up to 65W charging power.
The Fine Print
- The stated maximum flight time is 19 minutes, so any grand cinematic plan needs a modest grasp of arithmetic.
- Mobile-app control limits the maximum height to 60 m.
- Gesture control needs suitable lighting, bare enough hands and the subject fully visible in the camera frame; even the convenient bit has terms and conditions.
The Reality Check
- The omnidirectional vision system does not reliably detect cables, small branches, power lines, transparent or reflective surfaces, water, moving obstacles, or very dark or bright surfaces. That rules out treating obstacle sensing as permission to fly casually near the sort of things people most regret hitting.
- It is not waterproof; DJI advises avoiding water contact and landing as soon as possible if rain begins.
