Los Angeles, CA—The DJI Neo mini drone is a new personal lightweight, compact aerial videographer for taking cinematic footage of day-to-day adventures. Weighing less than 5 ounces, it takes off and lands from the palm of a hand. Moreover, you can fly it indoors or outside for an 18-minute flight time to capture 4K video. The propellers are fully enclosed to ensure safety.
By pressing the mode button and selecting the desired shooting mode, the Neo automatically snaps 12MP stills with its 1/2-inch image sensor or 4K UHD stabilized videos at 4K/30 fps. On completion, it returns to your palm.
DJI Neo Mini Drone and QuickShots
The Neo’s QuickShot has six intelligent shooting modes. 
• Expanse: It flies backward and ascends, with the camera locked on the subject.
• Circle: It circles around the subject.
• Rocket: It ascends with the camera pointing downward.
• Spotlight: It rotates while keeping the subject within the frame.
• Helix: It ascends and spirals around the subject.
• Boomerang: It flies around the subject in an oval path, ascending as it flies away from its starting point and descending as it flies back.
Control Options
- You can pilot the Neo using one-button QuickShots as well as voice control, enabled with the “Hey Fly” command.
- Further, with a Wi-Fi connection, you can control the drone using the DJI Fly app’s virtual joysticks with a nearly 165-foot control range.
Stabilization as Standard
