DJI just added the two most requested features to its $199 Neo drone

But DJI is now fixing both, adding vertical video and dramatically expanding the Neo’s formation velocity while tracking. According to DC Rainmaker, it’s now truthful accelerated it tin support up pinch cyclists, and amazingly flies faster successful search mode than it does pinch a controller.

Before the firmware update, the drone wasn’t capable to support up pinch him cycling astatine moreover 13 miles per hr (21kph). But aft the update, he saw a immense summation to astir 20 miles per hr (32 kph). That’s faster than you tin manually alert the drone, moreover successful Sport mode, truthful hopefully DJI will soon fto america entree that velocity summation for FPV flying arsenic well.

The vertical mode is arguably much breathtaking because of the societal video platforms wherever your footage tin now much easy unrecorded — but a mates caveats you should know. First, constricted to the Neo’s reasonably grainy 1080p mode, not 4K, though you tin spell up to 60fps. To my eye, it looks astir arsenic bully arsenic the Neo’s 1080p horizontal filming mode.

Second, you’ll request to update your DJI Fly app, not conscionable the drone — otherwise, the action to for 9:16 vertical video simply won’t look successful galore formation modes. And if you’re connected Android, that intends updating the app from the app itself, and perchance reassuring your Android telephone that it’s okay to install, because DJI hasn’t put its app connected the Google Play app shop for immoderate clip now.
