You can now control the DJI Neo 2 with your Apple Watch | Infinium-tech
The DJI Neo 2 drone launched internationally in November, and today a new update lets you control the drone entirely from your Apple Watch. It also works with the Apple Watch Series 8 and later, as well as the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Ultra 3.
The new DJI Neo 2 firmware, which unlocks this functionality, is labeled v01.00.0500. You also need the latest version of the DJI Fly app – v1.19.4. And that’s all.
DJI says this will prove particularly useful for sports scenarios like cycling and running, and you can certainly think of times when holding your phone or controller is impractical.
However, there are some caveats. Although there will be a live camera view on your watch, Apple’s power saving rules will still apply when you lower your wrist (but it will go live again when you raise it up). You can also control the drone by voice from your wrist (after granting DJI Fly mic access on your iPhone and then turning on Voice Control in DJI Fly Settings). Your watch can also become a mini mic for sound on the go.
