STARTRC PHOTO Neo Battery Protector for DJI NEO (Not NEO 2) — 2-in-1 LED Landing Gear, Rechargeable Light

STARTRC PHOTO Neo Battery Protector is a lightweight 2-in-1 guard and illuminated landing gear kit that raises the DJI NEO 10mm, shields the battery from impacts, and adds a rechargeable LED light for safer, more confident landings.

Designed specifically for DJI NEO aircraft (not compatible with NEO 2), this precision-molded accessory pairs a curved battery-protection shell with integrated LED landing legs. The kit snaps on without tools, increases clearance from the ground, and features a built-in rechargeable battery that powers the LEDs for extended evening flights. At only 21 grams, it keeps the drone agile while offering visible, practical protection.

How does this protector reduce damage during landings?

The kit lifts the fuselage about 10mm and wraps the lower battery area in a contoured shield that absorbs and deflects impact forces. That extra clearance and the protective curve work together to keep the battery casing from scraping or receiving direct shocks on rough ground.

• 10mm increased ground clearance reduces scraping and direct impact.
• Seamless curve designed to hug the NEO fuselage for consistent coverage.
• Shock-dispersing fit minimizes force transmitted to the battery during hard landings.

What are the lighting and power features for night flights?

Integrated LED strips in the landing gear improve aircraft visibility for takeoff, landing, and orientation during low-light sessions. The LEDs run on an internal rechargeable battery charged via Type-C, giving up to about 60 minutes of continuous illumination after a quick 40-minute charge.

• Built-in rechargeable battery with USB-C charging for fast top-ups.
• Approximately 40 minutes to full charge; up to 60 minutes run time.
• Bright LEDs enhance visibility and help locate the drone on dark surfaces.

How easy is installation and everyday use?

Assembly is tool-free and reversible — the protector clips into place for a snug fit without adhesive or modifications to the drone. Removal is equally straightforward, which makes switching between flights or packing the aircraft faster and safer.

• Tool-free snap-on design fits flush without damaging the fuselage.
• Lightweight at 21 grams, preserving flight performance and portability.
• Quick-access charging port keeps your LED system ready between flights.

Will the protector affect flight handling or battery performance?

The kit was engineered to be ultra-light and aerodynamically sympathetic to the NEO so it has minimal impact on handling. It does not interface electrically with the aircraft battery; the LEDs run on their own rechargeable power cell to avoid drawing from flight batteries.

• 21-gram weight preserves maneuverability and battery consumption of the drone.
• Independent rechargeable cell avoids affecting the main flight battery.
• Low-profile shape keeps aerodynamic disturbance to a minimum.

Who is this for? This STARTRC PHOTO Neo Battery Protector & LED Landing Gear kit is ideal for DJI NEO pilots who regularly fly from uneven surfaces, operate near dusk or dawn, or want extra protection for their battery without adding bulk. It suits hobbyists and pros who need a fast, tool-free accessory to prevent scuffs and improve visibility while keeping takeoff weight low. Note: not compatible with NEO 2—confirm your model before purchase.
