"DJI has announced a follow-up to the Neo selfie drone it launched last September for $199. Although the original was priced for mass adoption, it lacked several useful features that the new DJI Neo 2 is adding, including gesture controls and the ability to actively avoid obstacles instead of just relying on a design that can survive impacts and crashes."
"The DJI Neo 2 is slightly larger than its predecessor, and at 151 grams, it's 16 grams heavier, but that extra weight is a small tradeoff given the added functionality and a larger battery. The Neo 2's new obstacle avoidance system uses forward-looking LIDAR and downward-looking infrared sensors to detect and avoid hazards while the drone follows you in forward and sideways flight modes."
DJI Neo 2 is an upgraded follow selfie drone that adds gesture controls, active obstacle avoidance, and improved 4K video capabilities. The drone weighs 151 grams, 16 grams more than its predecessor, and includes a larger battery for extended flight. Obstacle avoidance combines forward-facing LIDAR and downward infrared sensors to detect and avoid hazards during forward and sideways follow modes. Integrated propeller guards remain while allowing less restrictive flight locations. Maximum follow speed increases to 12 m/s (nearly 27 mph), and wind resistance and hover stability are notably improved compared with the original model.
