How much wind can the DJI Neo handle? DroneChecker marks it Do Not Fly above 28.8 km/h (18 mph, 8 m/s) in sustained wind or gusts, with a Caution line from 18 km/h (11 mph) sustained or 21 km/h (13 mph) in gusts.
DJI's original palm-launched selfie drone, released in September 2024 at around 135g — light enough to take off from your hand and fly without a controller at all.

Manufacturers publish one figure: the maximum wind speed a drone is rated to resist. The Do Not Fly line above is based on that figure for the DJI Neo. The Caution line is DroneChecker's own margin below it, because a drone flown right at its limit has nothing left in reserve.
Two speeds are checked separately. Sustained wind is the steady average; gusts are the short peaks above it, and they are what tends to push a small drone around. A day with a calm average but strong gusts can be harder to fly in than a steady breeze.
The Neo has the lowest wind tolerance of any drone DroneChecker supports, and it is not close. Conditions that a Mini 4 Pro shrugs off will push a Neo around, and because it is often flown close to people in exactly the sheltered spots where gusts behave unpredictably, the on-paper number understates how careful you need to be.
