DJI’s Neo is shockingly capable for a small drone, however it did have a number of weak points– specifically, the absence of vertical video and reasonably sluggish flying speeds in tracking mode. The business has actually now resolved both of those concerns with a brand-new firmware upgrade, including vertical video and increasing the Neo’s tracking speeds, to name a few things.
Thinking about that the Neo is developed and priced for developers, the absence of vertical video was a huge miss out on. It can now deal with that, albeit it just at 1080p 60 fps 9:16 and not 4K. That lower resolution is because of the reality that the electronic camera gimbal does not really turn 90 degrees like on the Mini 4 Pro; rather, it shoots 4K horizontal resolution then crops off the sides.

Speed-wise, the Neo can now strike up to 20 miles per hour in tracking mode, up from around 12 miles per hour before. That’s in fact faster than the 18 miles per hour sport mode leading speed, though still a lot slower than the Neo’s optimum 36 miles per hour speed in the complete manual setting (which needs the FPV remote controller 3). It’s now up to the task of tracking sluggish moving lorries, especially bikes.
Other brand-new functions consist of Goggles N3 assistance, liveview stabilization with Goggles N3 or Goggles 3 and enhanced sound decrease with the Mic 2. There’s not much DJI can do about the frustrating prop sound. To get the upgrade, you’ll require to link your Neo to DJI’s Fly app on Android or iOS, then upgrade both the drone and the app.
