What’s New with DJI’s Neo 2 Selfie Drone Launch Globally?
DJI’s Neo 2 selfie drone launches globally, bringing advanced features like lidar-based obstacle avoidance, gesture controls, and longer flight times to enthusiasts in Japan, Canada, the UK, and beyond. Despite its global rollout, the Neo 2 won’t be available in the US, reflecting DJI’s shifting market strategies amid evolving local conditions. Fans worldwide are excited about the combination of portability, smart flight modes, and autonomous controls packed into this compact drone.
How Does the DJI Neo 2 Selfie Drone Stand Out?
The Neo 2 adds safety and convenience with propeller guards and a sophisticated obstacle avoidance system. It can follow subjects at nearly 27mph and resist stronger winds, making it ideal for outdoor adventures. Gesture control allows users to adjust the drone’s distance and position without a remote, while an optional antenna provides traditional controller support for those who prefer it. Lightweight at 151 grams, it offers up to 19 minutes of flight time without the digital transceiver attached.
Why Isn’t the DJI Neo 2 Available in the US?
Despite its global launch, DJI’s Neo 2 selfie drone won’t reach US stores. A company spokesperson explained that while DJI remains committed to US customers, local market conditions and industry regulations have led to strategic adjustments. This mirrors similar restrictions seen with the Mavic 4 Pro and 8K Osmo 360 camera. For now, US drone enthusiasts will need to explore imports or wait for future availability announcements.
