DJI Neo 2 First Look: 135g Ultra-Light Drone Now Features Full 360° Obstacle Avoidance & 19-Minute Flight Time

The upcoming DJI Neo 2 has now been fully leaked — revealing major upgrades in safety, imaging, and performance. According to leaks originally highlighted by tech media sources, this compact drone is expected to launch on October 30 and aims to redefine the beginner-friendly drone category.

Here’s everything we’ve uncovered so far 👇


⚡ Even Lighter Than Expected: Just 135g

The DJI Neo 2 continues its ultra-portable legacy:

  • 135g total weight — far below the 250g global regulation threshold

  • 130 × 90 × 50 mm compact size — small enough to fit in a jacket pocket

  • No registration needed in many countries (including Canada 🇨🇦)

This makes the Neo 2 one of the lightest and most travel-friendly DJI drones ever.


🛡 Full-Sphere Obstacle Avoidance for Safer Flying

The biggest upgrade is omnidirectional obstacle detection — a first for the Neo lineup:

  • Front + rear + side sensing → 360° protection

  • Great for first-time pilots, indoor flying, and FPV beginners

  • New rear digital transmission antenna module → stronger signal stability

This marks a huge leap from the original Neo, which had limited avoidance.


🎥 4K60 Video + 10-bit HDR + D-Log M

DJI is bringing serious creator features to an entry-level drone:

Spec Neo 2 Upgrade
Sensor 1/1.3" CMOS
Dynamic Range 13.5 stops
Video 4K @ 60fps
Color Profiles 10-bit HDR, D-Log M

Better low-light clarity ✅
More post-production flexibility ✅
Cinematic color depth ✅

Filming at night in Toronto? Sunset landscapes in Alberta? Neo 2 can handle it.


📡 OcuSync 4 + Longer Flight Time

  • 🔋 ~1600mAh battery19-minute max flight time

  • 🌬 Level 5 wind resistance (up to 10 m/s gusts)

  • 🚀 16 m/s max speed

  • 📶 O4 transmission → up to 10 km range

This is a legit performance upgrade, especially given its tiny size.

USB-C charging also means you can power up from anywhere while on the road.


🕹 2-Axis Mechanical Gimbal + EIS Dual Stabilization

Neo 2 blends hardware + software to keep footage smooth:

  • 2-axis gimbal for greater physical correction

  • RockSteady + HorizonBalancing for digital smoothing

  • More usable video in motion-heavy scenes (cycling, chasing, vlogging)

A huge stability jump versus first-gen Neo.


✨ Smart Features for Creative Flying

The Neo 2 continues DJI’s push toward fun and simplicity:

  • 🛩 Acro Mode (manual tricks!)

  • 🔙 Return-to-Home safety

  • 🎬 Six QuickShots modes

Creators get cinematic movement without pro-level skills.


💾 Storage & Expansion

Specs mention 22GB internal storage — enough for casual flights.
MicroSD expansion has not been confirmed yet.
We will update as details finalize.


✅ Early Verdict: Best Beginner DJI Drone Yet

The Neo 2 is shaping up to be a must-have for:

✔ First-time drone pilots
✔ Travelers + families
✔ FPV beginners
✔ Casual vloggers + social content creators

DJI has taken a tiny drone… and given it real creator power.
360° avoidance + 4K60 HDR video at 135g? That’s a game-changer.

📌 Full reveal expected October 30 — we’ll be covering the launch live.
