A reliable source has shared the first video footage of DJI's upcoming Neo 3 drone. Confirming recent leaks, the footage also shows the rumoured RC Mini remote control and the various ways in which the Neo 3 differs from the existing Neo 2 FPV drone.

Jasper Ellens has elaborated on recent leaks about the DJI Neo 3 with more footage showcasing the company's next first-person view (FPV) drone. To recap, Igor Bogdanov shared hardware specifications for the same drone at the start of October. Prior to that, Bogdanov provided a look at alleged retail packaging.

Now, Ellens' video appears to confirm multiple aspects of previous leaks. For one, the packaging shown in the 49-second clip matches the photos that Bogdanov has provided in the last few weeks. Additionally, the video provides close-ups of the drone's new controller. In summary, the RC Mini appears unchanged from last year's RC Mini AG that DJI only sells in China.

Moreover, the drone's design mirrors what Bogdanov had already leaked. Currently, the Neo 3 is expected to surpass the Neo 2 with the 1/1.1-inch CMOS camera sensor from the Osmo Action 6 (curr. $436 on Amazon). Other upgrades include a new hardware button to facilitate DJI's 'palm take-off' functionality.

Ellens also reiterates that the Neo 3 will weigh 'almost 200 grams. Based on recent regulatory findings, the drone's official weight will be 192.7 g, a 28% increase over its predecessor. At this stage, Ellens is unsure when the Neo 3 will launch. In the meantime, he asserts that he is 'sure it will launch soon'. Pricing remains unknown for now, though.
