The drone community is buzzing after a surprise leak revealed the first footage of DJI’s upcoming Neo 2, just days after rumors about the Avata 3 and Mini 5 Pro flooded tech forums. The clip, shared by trusted leaker Jasper Ellens, shows the agile cinewhoop-style drone in action—hinting at a major refresh of DJI’s FPV lineup.
The Neo 2 Leak: What We’re Seeing
Ellens’ footage (embedded below) depicts a compact, propeller-guarded drone zipping through an indoor course. Key upgrades seem to include:
- Redesigned Ducted Propellers for quieter, safer indoor flight.
- Enhanced Stabilization during sharp turns.
- Modular Camera System (suggesting 4K/120fps capabilities).

Industry watchers speculate this could be DJI’s answer to growing demand for "backyard FPV" drones—balancing power and portability for creators.
Bigger Picture: Avata 3, Mini 5 Pro & More
The Neo 2 isn’t alone. Recent leaks point to a triple-product launch from DJI in late 2025:
- Avata 3: Spotted in the wild by Quadro_News, it appears slimmer than its predecessor, with improved battery life and a new horizon-leveling gimbal.
- Mini 5 Pro: GSMGoTech reports a sub-250g drone with a 1-inch sensor—defying weight-class limitations for pro-grade imagery.
- Osmo Nano: A pocket-sized gimbal camera targeting smartphone creators, leaked as a "game-changer for vloggers."
Why It Matters
DJI’s rumored pivot toward accessibility (Neo 2, Osmo Nano) and regulatory compliance (Mini 5 Pro’s sub-250g design) signals a strategic play for both hobbyist and pro markets. With the FAA’s Remote ID rules tightening, the Mini 5 Pro could become a travel filmmaker’s holy grail.
Release Timeline
Insiders suggest a late Q3 launch, likely ahead of holiday sales. DJI’s typical "leak-then-launch" pattern means official announcements could drop within weeks.
