Design and developement
Model number DN1A0626[1]
The Neo was unveiled on 5 September 2024.[2] Weighing 135 grams, it is the lightest drone that the manufacturer has brought to market to date (as of 2025). This makes the drone suitable for hand launch and landing. Due to its low weight, it is a Class C0 UAS. The drone can be controlled remotely via voice input, app or RC control.[3] It is intended for use in vlogs and selfies. With the compatible goggles, the drone can also be flown from a first-person view. The Video transmission works via OcuSync 4. The Neo is considered the successor to the DJI Spark, which was released in 2017 but was significantly heavier at 300 grams.[4][5]
