DJI Neo 2 is a palm‑launch, follow‑me camera drone designed to make everyday filming effortless and safe for beginners. At just 151 g, it’s DJI’s lightest and most compact model with omnidirectional obstacle sensing, combining a 360° monocular vision array with forward LiDAR and a downward infrared sensor. A new two‑axis gimbal stabilizes a 12MP 1/2‑inch CMOS camera that records up to 4K/60, with slow‑motion up to 4K/100. Neo 2 adds Return‑to‑Palm, dynamic Gesture Control, voice control via phone or Bluetooth headset, and improved ActiveTrack that can follow at up to 12 m/s with eight‑direction tracking. It also includes 49 GB of internal storage and quick Wi‑Fi transfers up to 80 MB/s, and it can pair with RC‑N3, DJI goggles and Motion Controller for longer‑range control and immersive FPV.

Disadvantages
Short real‑world endurance (often ~10–18 minutes per pack) compared with larger drones. ([techradar.com](https://www.techradar.com/cameras/drones/dji-neo-2-review?utm_source=openai))
No microSD card slot—internal storage only, which some users may find limiting for longer trips. ([tomsguide.com](https://www.tomsguide.com/cameras-photography/drones/dji-neo-2-review?utm_source=openai))
