Battery

DJI Neo Intelligent Flight Battery, 1435 mAh

Eighteen minutes goes fast. Batteries are the only accessory that changes what you can shoot.

What to skip

A memory card

The drone does not support one. It records to the 22 GB inside, and you offload over the app or a cable.

Max Takeoff Altitude

2000 m

Measured in a windless environment when taking off from an altitude of 2000 m and ascending vertically by 120 m, using Sport mode, and from 100% battery level until 20%. Data is for reference only. Always pay attention to reminders on the camera view during your flight.

Max Flight Time

Approx. 18 mins (approx. 17 mins with the Propeller Guards)* Each battery allows the drone to perform at least 20 palm takeoff and landing for shoots in succession**

* Measured in a controlled wind tunnel environment under conditions equivalent to windless operation and sea-level altitude, with the aircraft flying forward at a constant speed of 2 m/s and the camera in Photo mode, until a forced landing due to battery depletion. Actual experience may vary depending on the environment, usage, and firmware version. ** Measured after DJI Neo is activated, with a fully charged battery and default settings, and using Circle, Rocket, and Dronie modes, and is for reference only.

Max Hovering Time

Approx. 18 mins (approx. 17 mins with the Propeller Guards)

Measured when hovering in a windless environment 20 m above sea level, with camera parameters set to 1080p/30fps, video mode off, and from 100% battery level until 0%. Results may vary depending on the environment, actual use, and firmware version.
