New DJI Neo Drone Leaked Photos, Video, and Prices: Affordable Quadcopter with Impressive Features

The DJI Neo, has been leaked on the German webstore, revealing its pricing and specifications. The information was shared by drone enthusiast Jasper Ellens on X / Twitter, who also in an earlier tweet shared a video of the DJI Neo in action.

Affordable Pricing for a Feature-Rich Drone

The leaked information shows two pricing options for the DJI Neo:

DJI Neo (drone only): €199 (expect $199)
DJI Neo Fly More Combo: €349 (expect $349)

The DJI Neo Fly More Combo includes the drone, two extra batteries, accessories, and the DJI RC-N3 remote controller, offering better value for those looking for a complete package. It doesn’t seem that a shoulder bag or small pouch will be offered as part of this combo.

DJI Neo Specifications

According to the leaked product listing, the DJI Neo boasts impressive features:

4000 x 3000 pixel camera resolution (12MP)
Quadcopter design with protected propellers
18-minute flight time
Lightweight at 135 grams

The drone’s compact size and protected propellers suggest it may be designed for both indoor and outdoor use, making it versatile for various applications.

Potential Market Impact

With its competitive pricing and feature set, the DJI Neo could potentially disrupt the entry-level drone market. Jasper Ellens commented on the pricing, saying, “And only 199 for the DJI Neo drone only? Other brands won’t be able to compete. Congrats DJI”

Availability and Release Date

While the leak provides exciting details about the DJI Neo, the German webstore listing indicates that the drone is not immediately available. The product page states, “This item is not in stock and must be reordered (Delivery in approx. 10-14 days),” suggesting an imminent official release, which should be September 5th.

Another #EXCLUSIVE X27 leak. It’s the first #camerafootage from the #DJINEO. 4K stabilization works like a charm. Propellor noise is enhanced because of the mobile phone, not as annoying in real life. A fun little bird to fly everywhere. Cheers
