Flight
Palm control is extremely simple to use. Even those with no drone experience can get started quickly.
DJI Neo can take off and land from and onto your palm and perform intelligent filming by locking onto the subject using visual algorithms,* all without the need for a remote controller or any auxiliary device.

* Currently, only human subject tracking is supported; tracking other subjects is not available.
Once DJI Neo locks onto you using visual algorithms, it will follow your movement trajectory and maintain a consistent speed with you,* achieving intelligent follow shots.

* The maximum tracking speed is 8 m/s.
Yes. DJI Neo can be used as an entry-level drone for Manual mode. It is suitable for practicing throttle control, altitude maintaining, and level flight, but not for continuous high-speed flight and high-maneuverability actions such as Dive, Split-S, Power Loop, and Yaw-Spin.
Exercise caution when flying in M mode.
No. To ensure flight safety, fly in an open area or within a visual line of sight. To fly beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS), ensure that the aircraft is in good condition, the user is qualified, and the flight is compliant with local regulations for BVLOS.

Battery
There are two charging methods: using the Two-Way Charging Hub or charging via the aircraft body.
1. When using a 60W charger with the Two-Way Charging Hub, you can charge up to three batteries simultaneously.* It takes approximately 60 minutes to charge them from 0% to 100%.
2. When using a 30W charger to charge via the aircraft body, it takes about 50 minutes to charge from 0% to 100%.

* The number of batteries that can be charged simultaneously depends on the power of the charger used. Using a charger of more than 45 W allows for charging three batteries at once while using a charger of less than 45 W can only charge two batteries simultaneously. Refer to the charging protocols supported by the charger.
1. Charging: The Two-Way Charging Hub supports USB PD fast-charging protocol and can charge up to three batteries simultaneously.
2. Storage: It can store three batteries at once, making it convenient to carry and use.
3. Power bank: With at least one battery in storage, you can use the charging hub as a power bank and output the battery power to mobile phones, tablets, and other devices through the USB-C port.
When charging via the Two-Way Charging Hub, it is recommended to use the DJI 65W Portable Charger.
When charging via the aircraft body, it is recommended to use the DJI 65W Portable Charger or the DJI 30W USB-C Charger.
