DJI's November Product Launch: Neo 2 Drone, Mic 3 Pro, and Osmo Mobile 8
According to recent reports from DroneXL, DJI is set to release three new products in November: the Neo 2 drone, the Mic 3 Pro microphone, and the Osmo Mobile 8 smartphone stabilizer. These updates are expected to enhance DJI's existing product lineup significantly.
Neo 2 Drone
The Neo 2 drone is an upgraded version of the original Neo. FCC certification documents reveal that its battery capacity has increased by 12%, from 1435mAh to a higher capacity, potentially extending flight time beyond 18 minutes. The drone features a redesigned double-layer propeller guard, which improves durability and makes it more suitable for aggressive FPV and cinematic flight styles. Additionally, the Neo 2 is expected to offer upgraded object tracking capabilities, bringing its image quality closer to that of DJI's Mini series drones. It will also include a new SD card slot, addressing a shortcoming of the first-generation Neo.
Mic 3 Pro Microphone
Building on the success of the DJI Mic 3 Standard Edition, which already offers professional features such as a 400-meter transmission range, timecode synchronization, and lossless audio, the Mic 3 Pro is anticipated to further enhance its capabilities for the film industry. The Pro version is likely to feature an XLR audio interface, improved outdoor waterproof and dustproof performance, and increased onboard storage capacity beyond 32GB. The release in November aligns well with the procurement schedules of most film production companies, which typically finalize their equipment purchases for the following year in the fourth quarter. The Mic 3 Pro is expected to be priced between $319 and $369 (approximately RMB 2272 - 2628 at current exchange rates).
Osmo Mobile 8 Smartphone Stabilizer
Succeeding the Osmo Mobile 7, the Osmo Mobile 8 is expected to bring significant improvements. While specific details are yet to be disclosed, FCC certification documents have been leaked. The new stabilizer is anticipated to feature upgraded motors with higher torque to support heavier professional smartphones. It is also expected to have a battery life exceeding 10 hours and will integrate more seamlessly with DJI's audio ecosystem. The November release coincides with the overseas shopping season, including Black Friday and Christmas, making it an ideal time for consumers to purchase the latest stabilization technology.
Stay tuned for more updates as DJI's November launch approaches, promising exciting new features and enhancements for enthusiasts and professionals alike.
