DJI is preparing to refresh its smallest drone lineup, and the first signs are already here. A new leak shared by OsitaLV on X gives us a clear look at the retail box of the DJI Neo 2, confirming several hardware upgrades over the first-generation Neo. The new model keeps the same palm-sized form but introduces a stronger gimbal, a redesigned battery, and — most impressively — full 360-degree obstacle avoidance.
A sturdier dual-axis gimbal for smoother shots
The leaked images show that DJI has reworked the dual-axis gimbal design, giving it a tougher and more stable structure. This should mean smoother footage when flying in windy conditions or while turning sharply. The new setup replaces the smaller, lighter frame used in the previous model and looks built for durability.
DJI also moved the battery to the top of the body, which may improve balance and cooling. The power indicator now sits on the right side, making it easier to check the battery level while preparing for flight. Small touches like these show DJI’s focus on usability and reliability — even for entry-level pilots.
Safer and smarter for new pilots
The Neo 2 keeps its featherweight design, coming in at just 135 grams and measuring 130 × 90 × 50 mm. Despite its small size, it’s the first drone in this range to offer omnidirectional obstacle avoidance, meaning it can detect and avoid objects in every direction — not just front and back.
DJI has also added a rear receiver and upgraded antenna system to improve image transmission and maintain a more stable connection. That should make the Neo 2 a solid choice for beginners who want an easy-to-fly drone that still feels professional.
Price and availability
Reports from DroneXL and Jasper Ellens suggest that the DJI Neo 2 will debut at $229, while the Fly More Combo will be priced at $449. Converted for Greece, that’s roughly €285 and €559 including VAT and estimated import costs.
For a compact, feature-packed drone at this price, the Neo 2 could become one of DJI’s most popular models — perfect for travel, casual creators, or anyone who wants stable 4K footage without carrying a full-sized setup.
