DJI Neo 2 Unboxing & Review: The $300 Drone That Flies Itself

I unbox the new DJI Neo 2 to see if this 153g drone is the ultimate travel gear. Watch the full unboxing and my risky indoor flight test here. 

I needed a drone for my upcoming trip to New Zealand, but I wanted something lightweight and affordable. 

The solution? The DJI Neo 2.

It promises 4K video, AI tracking, and a weight of just 151g—all for under $300 (SGD). It sounded perfect on paper, so I bought one to put it to the test before my trip.

Watch the full unboxing and indoor flight test below:

1. What’s in the Box?

DJI keeps it simple. Inside the box, you get the drone, a USB-C cable, manuals, a screwdriver, and two spare propellers. It’s a minimalist kit that is ready to fly immediately.

2. The Weight Test

Travel gear needs to be light. The official specs claim 151g, so I put it on my scale to verify.

 * Actual Weight: 153g

This is incredible. It’s lighter than my phone, which means it fits in a jacket pocket and requires no registration in many countries.

3. Flying Without a Controller?

The biggest selling point is the "Spotlight" AI tracking. You don't need a remote; the drone just follows you.

I decided to take a risk and test this feature indoors (don't try this at home!). I set it to Spotlight mode, let it take off from my palm, and walked around the studio.

The result: It hovered perfectly. The stability for a sub-250g drone is mind-blowing. It locked onto me instantly and felt completely safe, even in a confined space.

The Verdict

For under $300, the DJI Neo 2 is a steal. It removes the learning curve of flying and lets you focus on the adventure.

I’ll be testing it in the strong winds of New Zealand next, so make sure you subscribe to the channel to see how it handles the outdoors!
