The question to settle

Does it need to avoid obstacles by itself?

Both follow you and film in 4K. The real difference is what happens when a tree or a wall is in the way: the Neo 2 sees it, the Neo doesn't.

Frequently asked questions

The questions we get most often before you choose.

What is the difference between the DJI Neo and the Neo 2?

The 2025 Neo 2 senses obstacles all around, with a LiDAR sensor at the front, and has a two-axis gimbal instead of one. It films 4K at up to 60 frames per second, against 30 on the Neo, and over wifi it reaches 500 metres instead of 50. Flight time is about the same on both.

Which Neo is the best buy?

The Neo 2 is our pick: it avoids obstacles by itself, which is exactly what you need when it follows you while you're not looking at it. If you mostly fly in open space and want to spend as little as possible, the Neo is enough.

Is the original Neo still enough?

On a beach, an open field or in a large hall, yes. It follows you and films in 4K, but it can't see obstacles, so between trees or along buildings you have to watch it yourself. With a single gimbal axis the picture is also less steady in wind.

Do I need a controller?

No. You fly both with your smartphone or your voice, and they take off from and land on your hand. If you want to fly further or with goggles, pick a set that includes a controller or goggles.

Do I need a drone licence for the Neo?

No, both weigh under 250 grams, so no exam is needed. Because they have a camera, you do have to register as a drone operator. Belgium and the Netherlands apply the same European rules.
