DJI Neo 2 — Frequently Asked Questions

Product

Compared with the original DJI Neo, what are the main improvements of DJI Neo 2?›

DJI Neo 2 features improved imaging, upgraded stability, longer flight time, and enhanced obstacle sensing compared with the first-generation Neo. It offers cleaner 4K video, smoother beginner-friendly controls, and more reliable positioning for safer, more enjoyable flights.

What is the certification level of DJI Neo 2?›

DJI Neo 2 is C0 certified under EU drone regulations. This allows flying in the Open A1 category in applicable regions. Please follow local aviation rules and check updated guidance for your country.

Is DJI Neo 2 waterproof?›

No. DJI Neo 2 is not waterproof. Avoid rain, splashes, or flying over water at low altitude. If the drone gets wet, allow it to dry completely before using it again.

What app do I need to install before using DJI Neo 2?›

DJI Neo 2 uses the DJI Fly app. Check the official compatibility list for supported devices and ensure your controller (DJI RC-N2 or compatible remote) is running the latest firmware.

What should I be aware of regarding the obstacle sensors on DJI Neo 2?›

Dust or smudges on the sensors may affect detection accuracy—keep them clean.
Fog, haze, and very dark environments can reduce sensor performance or cause false warnings.
Neo 2’s sensors may struggle with thin objects such as branches or wires—always maintain line of sight.
Obstacle sensing may be less effective in low light; fly carefully at dusk or indoors.

What are the benefits of the upgraded obstacle sensing system on DJI Neo 2?›

Improved safety when flying forward thanks to enhanced detection range.
More reliable stopping behaviour for beginner pilots.
Better performance in varied lighting and texture environments.
Increased confidence for new users learning to fly.

Camera

How do I enable HDR mode on DJI Neo 2?›

DJI Neo 2 supports automatic HDR capture in photo mode and in certain video resolutions. When available, the drone applies HDR processing automatically—no manual toggle is required. HDR availability may vary by frame rate and lighting conditions.

Flight

How does the obstacle sensing behave in low light or fog?›

Low-visibility environments such as fog, heavy haze, or dim lighting may reduce obstacle sensing accuracy or trigger false warnings. Maintain line of sight and avoid flying in uncertain visibility.

Can the Neo 2 brake automatically if there’s an obstacle at night?›

Neo 2’s obstacle sensing may work in low light but is less reliable at night. It may assist braking, but manual caution is essential—always fly within visible range and avoid dark environments.

Controller

Does the DJI Neo 2 controller support quick charging?›

Yes. The USB-C charging port supports fast charging when used with a PD-compatible charger.

How do I customise button functions on the Neo 2 controller?›

Customisation options for buttons and wheels are available in the DJI Fly app under “...” → Control. Options vary based on the controller model used.

Does the DJI Neo 2 controller support installing third-party apps?›

No. Third-party app installations are not supported.

Battery

Can I charge the DJI Neo 2 battery with a PD charger?›

Yes—use DJI-recommended chargers or PD chargers that meet the required voltage and current ratings. Refer to the official battery specifications for supported input.

What affects flight time on DJI Neo 2?›

Flight time can be reduced by cold temperatures, wind, fast manoeuvres, extra accessories (like prop guards), and frequent altitude changes. Fly in calm weather for the best endurance.

Transmission

What video transmission system does DJI Neo 2 use?›

DJI Neo 2 uses an upgraded transmission system that provides smoother video feeds and stronger anti-interference compared with the original Neo. Actual range depends on local regulations and environment.

How can I improve signal stability?›

Keep antennas pointed toward the drone, maintain a clear line of sight, avoid flying behind obstacles, and steer clear of areas with heavy Wi-Fi or metal interference.

Intelligent

Which intelligent flight features are supported?›

DJI Neo 2 supports beginner-friendly intelligent modes, including QuickShots, automatic take-off/landing, and basic subject tracking (availability varies by firmware). Check DJI Fly for the latest feature list.

Does obstacle sensing work during all intelligent modes?›

Obstacle sensing assists during many intelligent modes, but performance may vary depending on speed, lighting, and the type of scene. Always remain ready to manually intervene.

Compatibility

Which controllers are compatible with DJI Neo 2?›

DJI Neo 2 is compatible with supported DJI Fly app controllers such as the RC-N2 (depending on region). Ensure both the controller and aircraft are updated to the latest firmware.

Which app and devices are supported?›

DJI Fly is required. Check the official device compatibility list for supported iOS and Android smartphones and tablets.

Accessories

Are Neo accessories from the previous model compatible with DJI Neo 2?›

Some accessories such as carry bags or chargers may be compatible, but batteries, propellers, and propeller guards are model-specific. Always check the official compatibility notes.

Do I need ND filters for DJI Neo 2?›

ND filters are optional but useful for achieving cinematic motion blur in bright daylight. Use ND filters designed specifically for the Neo 2 to ensure correct fit and optical alignment.

Regulations

Where can I fly DJI Neo 2 in the UK?›

Follow CAA guidelines, stay clear of restricted airspace, and use official tools like Drone Assist to check local restrictions. Always maintain visual line of sight.

Does Neo 2’s C0 class affect where I can fly?›

Yes. C0 drones may fly in the A1 Open category, making Neo 2 suitable for flying close to people in many scenarios. Local restrictions still apply.

Troubleshooting

The aircraft won’t take off due to obstacle warnings — what should I do?›

Clean the sensors, ensure the area is well-lit, and move to an open location. If warnings persist, restart both the aircraft and controller.

My video feed is choppy — how can I improve it?›

Reduce interference, adjust antenna orientation, avoid obstructions between you and the drone, and ensure both aircraft and controller have the latest firmware.
