Stabilization is provided in-camera unless switched off with Rocksteady or HorizonBalancing modes available.

12MP photos can only be captured in JPEG format and can be set to 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratios.

Horizontal stabilization is applied electronically in-camera.

Despite the low weight, the Neo is built to a high quality and feels robust in the hand.

These are, of course, governed by the aviation authority where you live.

Voice control would ultimately be more beneficial when the Neo is used independently of the app.

Theres no collision avoidance, but there are downward vision positioning sensors with a precision range of 0.5-10m.

Plus, the Neo offers up to level 4 wind resistance, which is 18mph.

This is by far the easiest way to fly FPV flight.

Image Stabilization works incredibly well.

DJI are one of the best in this field, and there are no complaints with the results.

Keeping things simple, the aperture is fixed at f/2.8 with fixed focus providing focus from 60cm to infinity.

Adorama

The 4K video from the Neo looks good, if not slightly oversharpened.

There are X1 successors though, the X1 Pro and X1 Pro Max, that look like firmer competition.

DJI FPV accessories werent included with the review sample, so the Neos FPV capabilities couldnt be tested.
