It’s DJI’s Neo capable of shock for a small drone, but it had a few weaknesses – namely the lack of vertical video and relatively slow flight speed in tracking mode. The company has now fixed both of these issues with a new software update, adding vertical video and boosting the Neo’s tracking speed. other things.
Given that the Neo was designed and priced for creators, the lack of vertical video was a big letdown. Although it’s not in 4K, but only in 1080p 60 fps 9:16, it can handle that now. This lower resolution is due to the fact that the camera gimbal does not rotate 90 degrees as it does on the Mini 4 Pro; instead, it captures a 4K horizontal image, then crops the sides.
In terms of speed, the Neo can now reach 20 mph in tracking mode, up from around 12 mph previously. That’s actually faster than the sport mode’s top speed of 18 mph, though it’s still a lot slower than the Neo’s top speed of 36 mph (requires FPV remote control 3) in full manual mode. Nevertheless, it is now a business to follow slow-moving vehicles, especially bicycles.
Other new features include Glasses N3 support, live image stabilization with Goggles N3 or Goggles 3, and improved noise reduction with Mic 2. Unfortunately, there’s not much DJI can do about the annoying propeller noise. To get the update, you’ll need to connect the Neo to DJI’s Fly app on Android or iOS, then update both the drone and the app.
