TapTechNews on August 2, according to the source @D2Help who tweeted yesterday (August 1), sharing more retail packaging photos of the DJI Neo drone. The pictures show that the drone adopts a fully enclosed protective cover, has a takeoff weight of 4.76 ounces (135 grams), supports AI visual tracking and 4K video recording, and is expected to be released in late August.

TapTechNews attaches the relevant screenshots as follows:

This drone, weighing only 4.76 ounces (135 grams), is expected to be the lightest consumer drone of DJI so far, lighter than the DJI Mini SE which weighs 8.78 ounces (249 grams). It is worth noting that the Neo is equipped with propeller guards, enhancing the safety for indoor use. In addition, there is also a button on the fuselage to switch the flight mode with one click.

Although a remote controller is included in the FlyMore kit, the packaging box mentions multiple control methods and indicates that the drone can take off and land handheld. Combined with the mode switching button on the fuselage and the AI subject tracking function, users may be able to start the drone and take selfies without the need for a remote controller. Currently, information about battery life and wireless transmission range has not been exposed.
