DJI NEO 2 :The Compact FPV Beast Is Almost Here
The next generation of DJI’s mini drone lineup is about to drop — and this time, it’s not just about portability. The DJI Neo 2 looks set to redefine what a sub-250 g drone can do.
According to fresh leaks — including a teaser clip spotted by Quadro News — the DJI Neo 2 is expected to launch as early as October 30, 2025. That’s even sooner than the mid-November timeline many insiders predicted earlier this year.

A Bold Step Forward for the Neo Series
From its FCC filings to the leaked spec sheets, everything about the Neo 2 screams “next-level FPV cinewhoop.” DJI seems to be doubling down on creators who want cinematic control and immersive flight in one small, weather-tough package.
Early details point to:
- Improved flight performance with stronger lift motors and better wind resistance.
- A new camera sensor, likely in the 1/1.3-inch range, for sharper dynamic range and better low-light footage.
- Upgraded battery capacity (rumored around 1600 mAh) to stretch flight times past 20 minutes.
- Refined FPV features for tighter control and smoother footage, bridging the gap between a cinewhoop and a pro-level drone.
Why It Matters
The original DJI Neo was fun — light, fast, and creator-friendly. But the Neo 2 feels like DJI’s “serious mode.” It’s shaping up to be the ideal drone for content creators, vloggers, and FPV fans who want to shoot cinematic aerials without the bulk or complexity of larger drones.
If these leaks hold true, the Neo 2 could become the must-have creator drone of 2025, giving pilots pro-level footage in a body small enough to toss in a backpack.
Expected Release and Price
Current rumors suggest the official announcement will hit October 30, with wider availability rolling out through November 2025. Pricing hasn’t been confirmed, but most sources expect it to sit just above the current Neo — likely around the $499–$599 range depending on bundles.
The HypeGeek Take
This is one of those launches worth watching. DJI rarely teases a product this heavily unless it’s a big step forward, and the Neo 2 is shaping up to be exactly that — a compact FPV-ready powerhouse built for real creators.
We’ll keep covering every leak, test, and feature drop as it happens. If you’ve been waiting for a drone that fits between the Mini 4 Pro and Avata 2 — light, fast, and cinematic — the DJI Neo 2 might just be the one.
