Leaked: This is the DJI Neo, the lightest budget drone ever made by DJI

DJI’s 4K-ready Neo drone has leaked — and according to the photos, box, specifications, and leaked Walmart price, it might be the lightest and cheapest full-featured DJI drone you can buy.

A leaked Walmart listing indicates the DJI Neo Fly More Combo could sell for just $329, and the starting price for a standalone drone could be even lower, as DJI’s “Fly More” bundle includes extra batteries, a charging hub, and a shoulder bag, which typically drive up the price.

Weighing just 135 grams (or about 0.3 pounds), the Neo could also be DJI’s lightest budget drone yet (the kid-friendly 80-gram DJI Tello was made by another company, Ryze). That would be lighter than the 249-gram one. DJI Mini SE — starting at $299 — lighter than the old one by 300 grams DJI SparkAnd it will weigh only 10 grams more than its rival HoverAir X1. Verge Currently under review.

Design-wise, the images show that the drone has propeller guards, which could make it safer for indoor use. It also has a push button on-drone interface that works through flight modes just like the HoverAir X1.

While it is pictured with a joystick-style Pro Controller in the “Fly More” kit, the box mentions multiple control options and shows that it can take off and land from your palm. With mode switching buttons on top and “AI subject tracking”, you should be able to start it up and shoot flying selfies like the HoverAir without using any controller. There is no information yet about battery life or wireless range.

Unlike DJI’s Mini lineup, the Neo doesn’t fold into a smaller package; it’s more voluminous DJI’s Avata FPV Drone. Hopefully, this means that the Neo can be operated from the perspective of a drone by connecting it to an Avata-compatible headset.

It’s uncertain when DJI plans to release the drone, but Allen’s estimate If the product photos are real, this could happen in “a matter of weeks.”
