Interestingly, Ellens noted that the DJI Neo is already available for purchase in some Countries: “In other places like the Philippines you can already buy the Neo in the shop.” He suggested that DJI should implement a preorder system to reduce wait times for eager customers in other regions.

Impressive Camera Quality

In a subsequent post, Ellens shared a night-time photograph allegedly taken by the DJI Neo. The image showcases a coastal city scene with illuminated buildings and swimming pools, demonstrating the drone’s low-light capabilities.

“One of my friends on X was scrolling thru the #Lightcut app and showed me this #DJINEO picture between the templates,” Ellens explained. He added, “From another friend I hear he is #very pleased with the camera quality on his Neo and I see reason to believe him.”

The shared image’s metadata indicates it was taken with a “DJI NEO camera 27mm f/5.6 1/100 ISO 500,” providing further confirmation of the drone’s specifications.

DroneXL’s Take
