The DJI Neo drone on the Lomingo three minute show

In this episode of the Lomingo three minute show, our chief instructor Miloš presents the DJI Neo drone. DJI launched it on 5 September 2024 as its lightest and most compact drone at the time. It is built for filming yourself and everyday moments, with no remote controller needed.

What the DJI Neo really offers

• A takeoff weight of about 135 grams, with full coverage propeller guards.
• Palm takeoff and landing, without a remote controller.
• Automatic subject tracking and six QuickShots: Dronie, Circle, Rocket, Spotlight, Helix and Boomerang.
• A 1/2-inch sensor: 12 MP photos and 4K video at 30 frames per second.
• A single axis mechanical gimbal and electronic image stabilisation.
• 22 GB of internal storage, enough for about 40 minutes of 4K footage.
• Up to 18 minutes of flight per battery.

How you fly it

You can fly the Neo from your phone with the DJI Fly app, or with voice commands. It also works with a standard DJI remote controller. With DJI Goggles 3 and the RC Motion 3 controller it can also be flown in FPV mode.

Who it is for

The Neo is made for vlogs, travel and family footage. It is not a drone for professional inspections or for flying in bad weather. It has no official water or dust protection, and it handles wind up to about 8 m/s. For commercial work we fly larger DJI models.

Lomingo tip

Even the lightest drone is an aircraft. Before your first flight, check the rules and the zones where you plan to fly. If you want professional skills, see our advanced drone pilot course in Belgrade.
