How to Change Units (Metric or Imperial) on the DJI Neo 2

Does changing units on the DJI Neo 2 affect anything other than the on-screen readouts?

No. The Units selector only changes how altitude, distance, horizontal speed and temperature are displayed in DJI Fly. The drone flies the same flight, the firmware uses the same internal values, and recorded footage is not affected. Only the numbers you read on the phone change.

What is the difference between metric and imperial on the DJI Neo 2?

Metric shows altitude and distance in metres, horizontal speed in kilometres per hour and temperature in Celsius. Imperial shows altitude and distance in feet, horizontal speed in miles per hour and temperature in Fahrenheit. The setting flips every readout on the camera view at once.

When should I use metric, and when should I use imperial on the DJI Neo 2?

Metric is the natural pick for UK drone pilots because the Drone Code and the CAA write the legal limits in metres — one hundred and twenty metres maximum altitude and fifty metres separation from uninvolved people. Imperial is the natural pick when you are sharing footage with a US crew, reading a US flight log or working with a client who briefs you in feet.

Does the DJI Neo 2 altitude limit change when I switch to imperial?

No. The Maximum Altitude limit is the same height in the real world either way — what changes is the number on the readout. One hundred and twenty metres in metric is roughly three hundred and ninety four feet in imperial, so the slider lands on a different figure but the drone tops out at the same height above the take-off point.

Will the unit change apply to the home screen and the Album in DJI Fly too?

Yes. Once you change Units, every distance and speed in DJI Fly follows the new system, including the flight summary on the Album page and the maximum altitude and distance figures shown when you tap into a saved flight log. The setting is app-wide rather than per-screen.

What if I cannot find the Units row inside Control on the DJI Neo 2?

An out-of-date DJI Fly build sometimes hides the row entirely — update from the App Store or Google Play first. DJI also shuffle the Settings tabs between versions, so if Units is not the first row inside Control, scroll the whole tab and check it has not moved into the System or About section.

Does the Units choice on the DJI Neo 2 carry over between flights?

Yes. DJI Fly remembers your Units choice between sessions, so picking imperial once keeps it on every time you launch the app until you switch it back. Reinstalling DJI Fly resets the value to the default for your region, which is normally the only way to lose the setting.

Does this setting exist for the DJI Goggles N3 on the DJI Neo 2?

The Units selector is a DJI Fly toggle that scales the on-phone interface. The DJI Goggles N3 use their own internal HUD with its own preferences for unit display, so the metric and imperial choice you make in DJI Fly does not carry across to the goggles view. Set the unit system in each interface separately if you fly with both.
