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

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

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

The vertical mode is arguably much breathtaking due to the fact that of the societal video platforms wherever your footage tin present 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 enactment to for 9:16 vertical video simply won’t look successful galore formation modes. And if you’re connected Android, that means updating the app from the app itself, and perchance reassuring your Android telephone that it’s good to install, due to the fact that DJI hasn’t enactment its app connected the Google Play app store for immoderate clip now.
