DJI’s Neo is shockingly capable for a tiny drone, but it surely did have a few weaknesses — specifically, the dearth of vertical video and comparatively sluggish flying speeds in monitoring mode. The corporate has now addressed each of these points with a brand new firmware replace, including vertical video and rising the Neo’s monitoring speeds, amongst other things.
Contemplating that the Neo is designed and priced for creators, the dearth of vertical video was a giant miss. It could now deal with that, albeit it solely at 1080p 60 fps 9:16 and never 4K. That decrease decision is because of the truth that the digicam gimbal does not really rotate 90 levels like on the Mini 4 Professional; as an alternative, it shoots 4K horizontal decision then crops off the perimeters.
Pace-wise, the Neo can now hit as much as 20 mph in monitoring mode, up from round 12 mph earlier than. That is really quicker than the 18 mph sport mode prime pace, although nonetheless lots slower than the Neo’s most 36 mph pace within the full handbook setting (which requires the FPV distant controller 3). However, it is now as much as the job of monitoring sluggish transferring automobiles, notably bicycles.
Different new options embrace Goggles N3 help, liveview stabilization with Goggles N3 or Goggles 3 and improved noise discount with the Mic 2. Sadly, there’s not a lot DJI can do in regards to the annoying propeller noise. To get the replace, you will want to attach your Neo to DJI’s Fly app on Android or iOS, then replace each the drone and the app.
