Which REMOTE CONTROLLERS work with the new DJI NEO? Answer: The NEO will work with these controllers: RC 2, DJI RC-N3 Remote Controller, DJI RC-N2 Remote Controller, DJI RC Motion 3, and DJI FPV Remote Controller 3.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 will it work with the RC Pro remote with HDMI out ?
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 oh the n2 works? I saw it used for 50
Damn that thing is noisy!!
The have it where ur recording u can cut the noise control on.
Not compatible with Goggles 2?!?!
Screw DJI and their "no compatible" market strategy BS.
Thumbs up if you understand the time and effort required to put this video together.
Thank you!
Sorted the problem out. I use an I-Phone and when I updated the DJI Fly App it opened a new App on my phone witch the phone said was not secure I deleated that app and reinstated the Fly App it all worked fine.
I toadally do do understand and think you got it right on the nose 👃🏿
@@bingbong4848 I don't know what effort it takes, but I do really like this video. Thumbs up for sure. Cheers!
@@bingbong4848 I don’t…. But I sure do appreciate this guy’s videos!
Out of hundreds of subscriptions there’s only a few RUclipsrs that you actually look forward to their videos because they do such a incredible job and you’re one of them👍🏽 love your upbeat, personality, and demeanor🙏🏽💯
Thank you! I appreciate that!
@@CAPTAINDRONE798👍🏽well deserved
Bought mine today and I am excited. My first drone. Two things though. I have to learn how to fly. I also have to tell my wife I bought one and she has no sense of humour on the topic. Here goes.
Flying... Super Easy. Telling the Wife... Wear a Helmet.😁
@@xkr510 😂when the wifey is scarier than learning to fly. Good luck.
🤣 good luck telling your wife 🤣
@@xkr510 Your wife and Drone…tell her like I told my wife when I wanted a horse, “Maybe my next wife will let me have one. The Neo is quite an advancement in Drone Technology. Be sure and watch videos about flying the Neo. It does not have obstacle avoidance so if you choose “Rocket” indoors, it will want to go up 30 meters without stopping at the ceiling. “Follow me” indoors is safest unless you fly with a controller.. i flew my Avata 2 indoors with handheld stick to get use to controlling the Drone.
@@xkr510 glad I'm not married I'd hate to have to explain to a spouse when I bought one of these things! LOL one of the reasons why I'm divorced I guess!
I just took my first drone out of the box yesterday and it was a DJI neo and I can't wait to get on this new learning curve. I used to fly planes so if I can do that I can master one of these, right?
I'm only 5 minutes into this video, and it's hands down the best one I've seen on the Neo-and trust me, I've watched a ton since I ordered mine. I thought it’d be a cool addition to my fleet and perfect to let others try out and get hooked on drones. Your videos are so good that I even watch the ones about RC stuff I don’t even care about. Thanks for the awesome content!
Wow, thank you!
Check out Andy Kirby 🇬🇧
He flys one of these FPV with the goggles 3 around his house. It’s a nimble little thing. He posted the video yesterday.
@@Dan23_7 Great video! Thanks! That's one of the reasons I ordered one. I want to learn to fly manual and be okay with crashing it! :) Hope Steve does a video on manual mode too!😁
Fleet. Jesus🙄🤣🤣
This was honestly the only review i was looking forward to seeing on the Neo.
Thank you!
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I agree it’s a awesome review!
Good review. So many videos talking about how bad this drone is, but I just bought it and for a beginner "Drone pilot" like myself it is is pretty good. I have flown RC aircraft for years building from scratch, but I am not in the mood to build a drone that way so I bought this.
There are plenty of RUclips channels that only get views if they make negative reviews of DJI products. Then again there are even more RUclips channels that only say positive things about DJI products, so you did the right thing and watched more than one review. Hope you enjoy the NEO. For the price it is an excellent buy.
This thing is gonna be POPULAR. I’m just imagining a beach a year from now all the drones all over the place crashing and buzzing.
I guess not.
The huge majority of the people do not like this gadgets.
Even we just like most of the times just relax at the beach without any pictures even from our smart phones.
I heard the latest firmware update for the DJI RC 2 controller now makes it easy to use with multiple DJI drones... much easier to switch between say a Neo, Avata 2, and Air 3, etc.
I have an Avata 2 and just ordered my Neo last night. I can’t wait to try it out! Looking forward to being able to practice very basic manual mode flight without the anxiety of crashing my Avata 2. Also looking forward to being able to teach my 9 year old daughter to fly it.
Many videos online about the Neo, you are the only one to make it that simple. Nice work.
Wow, thanks!
I like how you show everything you can do with it with or without the optional stuff. The best review I've seen. I bought just the neon then I got the controller. I haven't tried it yet. I'm very glad to see your review first.
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks for the demo. Years ago I bought a cheap drone that unfortunately needed somebody with skill and good reflexes! This looks like something I can play with without too much trouble.
drones are getting better every year, including the price.😊
We definitely love a lower price 💪
All the time I see a great product like this I say: Thank you capitalism.
Great review as always Captain, hope they fix the low light landing issue, would like this drone for inside flying when its too cold outside here in the Adirondacks of Upstate NY to fly.
I was on the fence about this but you explained everything about this little monster and I am sold on it! DJI is doing themselves no service by not sponsoring you and allowing you to give honest, unbiased reviews of their products! (double negative I know lol). Most of their drones, cameras, microphones, etc. have very little negative aspects and DJI would sell so many units from your reviews. Oh well, their loss! I love the abilities of this tiny drone! The value for what you pay for is phenomenal in my opinion. The amount of AI and precision put into the Neo is a thing of beauty. No wonder the U.S. government is afraid of DJI and monitors them very closely. I guess you could argue that this is a toy but honestly, for a vacation or day at the beach, mountains, etc., this is the perfect little drone to throw in your day bag and go!
Thank you & I’m positive you will enjoy this little NEO
I've watched a ton of videos on the Neo and this has been the most interesting by far. Thank You Captain Drone!
Thank you kindly!
I wish there was some videos on youtube showing how far the drone can fly when using the smartphone and what happens when getting out of range. Haven’t seen any so far :( I’m thinking of replacing my mavic mini 1 and as outdoor youtuber space is key, my backpack is always so full, i would love not taking an extra remote if the manual shots using the smartphone are acceptable. Both in terms of control smoothness and distance. I am not interested to make shots of myself for those manual controls
The reason there are no videos is because when you fly with a SMARTPHONE, the range is based on the SMARTPHONE in your hand. So if I have an old SAMSUNG phone and you have the latest greatest iPhone, you'll get better range. Range would not exceed 30 to 50 meters.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 yep. So, a video with the latest phones would be relevant…
27.48, If memory serves me correctly the Spark multi charger would charge all 3 barrettes at once. A lot of features in the Neo were also included in the 2017 Spark, these controller free features were discontinued after the original Mavic air as no one at that time seemed to use them once the initial novelty had worn off, imagine where we would be now if they had continued to develop them over the last 7 years. I am really looking forward to these new AI advances being included in the Mini 5 pro and Air 3S/4.
First video of yours I've watched. Very professional and informative. Thanks you :)
Glad you liked it!
You can also fly it with your RC2, RCN2 remote controller if you have one, after the latest firmware release. Which means OC04 and good range.
But not the screen RC included with mini 3 combo….. yet!
If you have one of those controllers can you still fly it in across mode?
@@RocketPlayz96 what’s across mode?
@@RocketPlayz96 Sorry, I'm not sure what across mode is. I don't own a NEO, but was looking into it since I own a Mini 4 Pro and I asked DJI if it would work with the RC2 controller and they said yes, as of the latest firmware update. I think I might wait a year and see if they make some improvements to the NEO. I think I could use it in tight spaces while shooting in Panama.
Captain Drone's review is one of the best on the new DJI NEO. Thank you Sir for an awesome review. It's to the point and packed with tons of tips and tricks to get the most of your purchase. I'm considering getting this drone for my kids. They would love this for sure.
Much appreciated!
Well done Captain; a very comprehensive review; I ordered one this evening (Just the Drone) and in Oz (with a Dan's Tube Discount) $279 AUD ! looking forward to having some fun with this amazing little beast !!!!
Enjoy!
You just hooked a new subscriber from Italy. The best review on the Neo so far!
Welcome aboard! Thank you
Great review 🥰 I like the fact that DJI is putting back the intelligence and tracking sensors the way they were on the Spark and Air1 because those tracking are sometimes needed and fun, specially for beginners even experts.
One of the most educational videos regarding neo. especially for beginners like me. Excellent video!
Glad it was helpful!
The neo may have it problems but I think it's the best DJI drone to date I'm not meaning in specs just overall the price and the features it's overall the best drone they have made yet
For me it is too skow. 20km/h in follow mode.
Definitely best value for the money. I’ve unfortunately found my next purchase lol.
My mini 4 pro is laughing right now 😅
man, just love your reviews, candid, honest and cover everything. Thanks for doing what you do Steve!
I appreciate that! My FPV NEO vid is out tomorrow.
Sharpness setting is there, at least when flying with "regular" dji Fly (remote), and in the goggles too.
Looking forward to the next one ❤
Do you have the Hoverair Pro max yet. And will you be doingba comparison when it is actually released?
Currently I do not have the Pro Max
I’ve just watched your vlog on the new DJI Neo, excellent as usual, but you didn’t comment on the process of downloading the video footage with the audio recorded on the phone. I’ve just bought a Neo and the only way that I can find to download load video and audio together is to download to my phone through the app and then download from the phone into my editing software. It’s an awfully clunky option…..Is there a better way? It would be great if I could download directly to my iMac as I do with the video part of the package…
You just have to power on the drone (let it start up), plug a USB C into the back of the drone and the other end into your computer. Your computer will see the drone as an EXTERNAL DRIVE. You'll then see all the VIDEO, PHOTO and AUDIO files. The AUDIO files are.MP4 files. If you use simple editing software you can sync the video and audio files since they are the same length. If you want the DJI SOFTWARE to do it for you, then you have to download it first to your phone (the video & audio are sync'd) , then from phone to computer
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thank you for that I did wonder what the D.m4a files were about. I didn’t think of loading them into my editing software.
Is no one gonna bring up that they completely dropped a drone not mentioning it’s a preorder and only after I placed my order with dji was I alerted it releases in a month… Dji app states absolutely nowhere that it is a preorder.
@@DRONE-SHOTZ Pre-order? I simply walked into my local BESTBUY on the day it launched and picked one up. I'm in Canada. Where are you ordering from?
Great video - full of info and super-clear to follow for a total novice like me. Always fancied a drone for fun, not pro stuff. Not expecting miracles, although your outdoor footage looks pretty decent, better than the couple other reviews I've watched on this drone. Tempted to get this little thing just for some fun.
I love everything on the drone, it’s cool and everything, but the noise factor is just something hard to get over..other than that, great for the price point. Thanks for the review
Your brain tunes out the prop noise, but bystanders may find it annoying
It's a tiny whoop. They all sound like that.
The best review by far! Thorough but not boring. Excellent work. Much better review than all the others 🎉.
Wow, thanks!
The camera angle thing was available waaaaaay back on the Anafi 4K. But it loooks pretty cool
I just opened my box yesterday - I'm so excited to be on this learning curve! I bought mine off of Amazon, definitely glad I bought the package that has 3 batteries, $289
If you haven't yet, can you do a video showcasing the DJI microphones. I've seen pictures of them and I don't understand what I'm looking at! LOL!
Looks like a fun stablemate for my Mini 4.
Great work on the video ! The sound with the the phone is impressive they make flying a drone so easy. Once they reduce the noise by 50% it's a hell of drone for lots of people.
Hoping for an update so it can be controlled by the RC1 remote.
So am i
I would buy it if that was case
Not gonna happen. It uses a different ocusync.
Loving the depth of your video review! Wondering how the DJI Neo works with DJI RC from the Mavic Mini 3 Pro? Trying to avoid flight with RC's that use phone. I would rather get an RC with the screen and fly the Neo around. Thank you again for an incredibly detailed video. I especially loved how you mentioned it doesn't have object avoidance, yet it fly's in the same steps as it's following the user. Is that because it's tracking your phone or remote or?
Thank you!
It is just using an old AI trick of tracking where an object moves and then tracing the path.
I know this is mainly for video, but i have not seen a video yet on how to just take a picture with this drone.
Thanks for another great review. Anytime a new drone comes out I go straight to your channel to see what it’s all about. Thanks again!
Much appreciated!
Your poor neighbours flying that neo 😂 "Honey, what's that noi..... Oh, Steve's outside again."
@@OnelastgoTV it might even drown out the screaming kids and barking dogs :)
@@Ianviper1 I have no doubt it'll drown a jackhammer let alone kids and dogs 😂
Great video 😀 Can I ask question please, could a dji mic be plugged into your phone to record, rather than having to hold and talk to the phone?
So, I would be interested if you could answer this question. Would this be able to follow through a path of trees maybe 12-15 feet wide? I want to run a path I've cut through some trees and do some action movements and have a following view of what I'm doing. My Air 2 flying above the trees would lose me when the trees covered the path. I don't think I trust it to follow at a lower height. Watching it follow you around the bench and tree gives me hope after seeing no obstacle avoidance. But, I plan to be moving quickly. I think it could be done if it truly does follow the path you move and tracks identically. Would be curious your thoughts on something like this. Thank you.
Maybe I do need to just get it and try, lol. But, if it won't do what I need for this specific task it would be kind of a waste. Still thinking on this one. I like the idea though!
It would follow you, just place the setting on LOW HEIGHT and FOLLOW CLOSE. At running speed it should be able to keep up with you and not crash as it will copy your path.
@CAPTAINDRONE798 Well dang! I was almost hoping to hear it wouldn't work. Guess I got another gadget to add to my collection 😂
Thank you for the answer and info. This is what I needed to know to make my decision on this one.
Have a great week!!
When someone complains that Avata is loud, DJI says: hold my beer and... that's how Neo was born ;-)
Yup, everyone can hear these drones
And that's a why?
Just bought this drone and waiting on it arriving. Some very useful tips and alerts.
Really enjoy the positivity in this video. A pleasure to watch
Glad it was enjoyable
Just like an upgraded version of spark and small also reminds me of tello
Great review Steve best I’ve seen so far 👍 Question how did you get it to take off and fly in your front yard when it said it was a restricted zone? Can you over ride it and say it’s ok to fly with caution?
Easy… the answer is here: ruclips.net/user/shortsQNMH7ZRAKo8?si=6t-NtZ41FYq7Wl55
You can fly the DJI Neo with the DJI RC 2
Nice review CD! Good replacement for the Tello (finally.) Is the range using the remote the same as it would be on a Mini?
Range with remote is over 10 km
I can't believe the price is less then the hover air x 😳
Amazing review, very informative and I just purchased one. Quick question, if you are using the controller will it still land automatically if there is low lighting?
Nope… When you saw me fly it outside at night, that was with the controller.
No Geo fence! This is where Hoverair shines. Also for same lighting conditions in indoor Hoverair does the job
How would this work in the following situations.
1. Medium winds, like 10-15mph?
2. Taking off and returning to your hand while you’re in motion? For instance, your on a sailboat moving g at 8mph vs standing still
Answers are:
1. Not a problem
2. It would not land. I suggest that you watches videos of landing a drone on a boat or moving platform. You have to grab it out of the air, not hand land.
Very informative video! Surprised about low light flight restriction indoors.
Great video! Looks like a great little drone. Can you get it to follow other objects other than yourself? For example, if I'm driving my traxxas Maxx truck, can I get the neo to chase it? Better yet chase another drone? Also, if you taped a flashlight to the top of it would it handle the low light conditions better? The neo is the first dji selfie photography drone that has even remotely caught my interest with those features and price point.
Yes it can track most things when you use the REMOTE (just draw a box around what you wish to track). Now I have to tell you… no Drone can track another Drone, Plane or Helicopter. In addition a drone can only track an RC Car as long as the car drives straight.
the dji neo is perfect for people who dont want to practice fpv flying
I have a question. The drone looks simple to me I am saving to get one. But how can I know if the area I am at, it not allowed for drone? It is the same app DJI application that shows it?
Yeah, It does not cost DJI anything extra to put their already developed smart technology into lower price drone hardware.
Only profit
@@nrnoble you know they have to make 3 more versions of this thing and the last will be a pro version
You should try putting a small light on the bottom for the sensor to see if that helps
Thanks for the review, merci pour la revue.
You're welcome
Excellent point on the DJI Geofencing problem. No one is mentioning this on RUclips!
- Can you override this if using only smartphone app?
Yes
Are you at Petrie Island?… 👀
Exactly
I purchased a DJI Avata 2 combo to learn FPV but I'm reluctant to fly in manual mode after watching others crash and burn. The Neo appears to be the answer to that issue, $38 for a two year DJI Care Refresh will make crash and burn painless, on top of the fact the Neo appears to survive hard crashes. Another great product review, can't wait for the Goggles 3 + FPV Remote Controller 3 + RC Motion 3 video!
That video is available to view. Just search on RUclips for: CAPTAIN DRONE NEO FPV
I would get one with a remote.
First of all, thank you for the cool video 😊. Second, I have several drones, including hover x1, do you suggest having this one or better stick to avata 2? I consider trying FPV and this looks a great opportunity to start with.
Watch my upcoming NEO FPV review
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 eager to watch it!
The rotor sound is horrible
I have a senior dog and a DJI mini 4k. I'm not a content creator but I like getting videos of walking with him and getting footage of our many beautiful rivers and parks.
The mini 4k does wonderful for the scenic views but not having a follow mode limits my function walking w/ my dog. I was debating on a 360 camera but for half the price you sold me on this option, much appreciated 👍👍
Other than the prop noise, I think this will meet your requirements.
With DJI being as advanced as they are,why can't they kill the shrill screaming.Decibels are one thing,but really....the pitch is horrendous. Nothing like drawing Karen's attention.
It must cost a lot more to develop a quieter prop.
Wow I want one but question the remote compatible is only the n3 or the n1 n2 work too? Does it have 2k or 1080 a better bitrate quality? Can you review the elbit drone...😁just kidding
The noise will get to you eventually and nearby people will get aggravated very fast. Be careful with this drone and noise pollution.
Just purchased the Neo fly more package. Can’t wait for it to come in. Thanks Steve for your interesting content.
You're gonna love it!
Not compatible with Goggles 2?!?!
Screw DJI and their "no compatible" market strategy BS.
Cool video. Is it able to track/film 3d planes/helicopter flights?
Nope, not at all
11:12 peak content
😅
I'm wondering If you fly in phone mode, could you use a standard Bluetooth controller? I have a game controller with a phone holder.
Will you try it with goggles ? Thanks.
Yes, an FPV Review is next
Another little question. Does the camera have threads in front of the lens to allow the use of filters to enhance night vision or reduce glare?
No threads
The noise is very annoying
@@yates6608 price tag isn't
I've done some testing, the DB levels are not that high to be fair but what I have established is the pitch of the noise is so high to help the app auto remove the prop noise when your talking into the app.
This does manifest itself as being loud, the truth is it's only 3db louder than the ITSY fpv, the issue is the pitch of the noise profile for auto removal.
But ps yes it is lol
You can cancel the noise by using the DJI apps, it will be quiet a lot.
@@ZhiHongChen-l6s the noise in the air I think is people's biggest complaints
Great video Steve I will definitely be getting this with the flymore combo, you didn't touch on the tracking when connected to the remote?, something that the mini4k doesn't have! I will by it purely for the fun factor and should I get the avata 2 in the future I'll have a mini fpv to practice with all round win, looking forward to your video with the goggles 3 and controller should be fun 👌
That sound is a dealbreaker.
Everything is clear to me, adding to the cart now! I'm a newbie and a new follower 😄. Thanks for this video! It's simple, but I know a lot of effort went into creating this wonderful content.
Thank you & Glad it was helpful!
Yes, it is most likely not possible to fly at night. But what if I attach a light (which I got from a local store) that is customized to fit under the Neo body? Is there a chance it could fly?
The light would have to be as bright as the SUN to work in order to film at night.
The noise of this drone puts me of straight away
I read somewhere that it can delete the drone noise in your video by itself. But yeah It is annoying while using it
@@IslandDigital That's a plus point cheers for the info
I like the noise, it reminds me of a small cute animal haha
I stopped watching the video right away only because of this noise
Hello it's the same to dji mini 4k ? Or it is different thenk you I want to buy one drone and I don’t no what is better camera between dji neo and dji 4k ? Thenk you
The mini 4K has a better quality image
This review has everything. The most accurate and detailed. Thank you Steve.
Glad it was helpful!
Another great great that is intuitive and helpful. I’m thinking of buying a Neo with the remote but have a Samsung Ford phone. Do you know if the fold fits in the remote? Also heard that there had been software issues in the fly app with Samsung, are you able to shed any light on this? Many thanks. Mark
I do not have the phone you have so I can't check. In the "OLD DAYS" DJI had issues with OLD Samsung phones that were not 64 bit.
Nice video. Question, how do you synchronize the sound of the microphone with the drone video? Does this happen automatically or do you do this manually?
If you download the video from the NEO to your phone then the audio is automatically synced
Hi. Really love the way you explain things. I'm thinking of buying the NEO for when I go canoe camping. I Think the follow mode will grate to experience at different hights. I have ONe Question. Is there a way to have the go back home in low batterie follow the cell phone instead of the gps coordinates? I'm asking because the way I see it, I'll be moving forward in my canoe so it will be no use for me it lands far behind me... Thanks for your time answering, Keep up the great word!!
Nope. What most people do in your situation is place the NEO on shore (wherever you are canoeing), launch it using a remote controller, then have it follow the canoe. When the battery gets low it will fly back to shore and land. The other option is you launch it from the canoe (without a remote), have it follow you, and ensure that at 10 mins or less, you get your canoe & hand under it for landing. The only warning is that a canoe sits low in the water which means the NEO would fly low, and the sensors on the bottom don’t like light reflecting off water and they get confused… so it may crash into the water.
Hi Captain Drone, Great Video review as i always and i love your channel.Im a beginner and Ive be thinking of getting my 1st small drone for years, and this DJI Neo looks perfect, especial for playing with kids and going on holidays and just getting into the Drone Hobby to do my own videos. But my big question is avoiding the flight restrictions as i live a few kms away from a airport.I understand flying a normal Drone around and flying high would be not allowed as why the restrictions are there, but the Neo is a great little drone just to play around the back yard, or even local park just to get those follow me shot functions and other similar function like that to play with,So I assume out of the box the drone won't work by using the inbuilt function modes on the drone, but connecting to my phone is there a function on the phone app that you can simplly turn off the restrictions and you can fly at your own risk so to speak.With Regards Ray (Australia)
Yes, in some situations you can accept responsibility and override geo restrictions but not in all situations.
Excellent video. Honest and pragmatic. I'm a hobbiest and have just purchased a Neo. I don't really care that the footage competes with Stephen Spielberg! For family vacations and other personal stuff it'll be fantastic i'm sure. I previous invested in Insta360 cameras and GoPro Heros. All of them have been fantastic and more than adequate for a home user like me.
Howdy. Small query and this is something I'm interested to know about all drones.
When you land a drone somewhere, can you have it sit there and continue recording and then take off again and fly home?
I understand that the duration it can sit there is dependant on the available battery. But I'm asking because I'm wondering if there's a low power mode when it's just sitting landed.
It goes into low power when landing to avoid overheating. Record turns off, but you can manually turn it on.
Thank you for the great video!! Two questions:
1. In the area the drone "thinks" it is in no-fly zone, does it do Palm Takeoff (no smartphone) if it is indoors?
2. In the low light situation, does it do better if the floor or ground has texture (for the downward collision sensor)? (i.e., tile or gravel rather than carpet or concrete)
Thank you!
ANSWERS:
- Yes. Indoors there is no GPS so you could be standing in an AIRPORT next to a Passenger Plane and it would take off.
- Yes. markings on the floor as opposed to a plain floor will do better with optical flow
@@CAPTAINDRONE798, thank you for a quick reply! I actually ordered mine and it will arrive in a month :) I look forward to playing with it!
I watch a lot of RC Hobby and drone videos and you make the best and most professional. 2 questions: 1) why did it automatically land in the dark house but not land automatically when it was dark outside? 2) can you override the no fly zone restriction if you aren't really in a no fly zone? Thanks!
Thank you! Answers to your questions are below:
1. Outdoors I was using the REMOTE and the drone had GPS
2. Yes, you can override if you have your phone. You have to ACCEPT the option that says "i am fully responsible". If you don't have your phone then the only way to override is to power on the NEO and once you see the 4 GREEN LED lights, quickly select a mode and fly. If you fly before it knows where it is via GPS and checks it against the No Fly Zones, then it will let you fly.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks!
How well does the tracking work if I’m walking in a crowd? Will it get confused with all the people? Or when I’m using it in a group shot, where I have a bunch of people around me?
Yes, if all faces are looking at it, as well as yourself, and everyone is standing shoulder to shoulder and moving, the AI will eventually cancel out.
DJI Neo is a mini-mini, a mini avata 2, and an AI selfie drone. I'm really liking it.
Does the Neo pair with the RC 2?
Apparently Yes
You just mentioned too about its GPS, I’d rather keep to the Hover for this as it’s strictly ‘personal’ modes, don’t feel like the no-fly area use!
Another great professional video. I am handicapped and use my zero turn mower to get around in my yard, and like the way the Neo cancels the sound of the drone and the mower and only records my voice. It may not be perfect, but it is better than anything I had before which was nothing... 😎 I like flying the Neo because if I destroy it, I can get another one. Can't say that about the Mavic 3. I doubt that DJI will upgrade this drone very much as I expect the the new Flip to be an improved version to be released early next year. I am hoping for side sensors and a better camera. I don't think it needs a three axis gimbal as the stabilization does a great job.
Thanks for sharing your usage. I think the NEO will be one of the most popular drones DJI has made and I would not be surprised that if in 2025 we will see the NEO PRO.
Great review! You cover a lot of things people just gloss over (eg. the AI used properly avoids a lot of the need for obstacle avoidance, and the darn noise!) The propeller covers are a real blessing. It really can't be flown in low light -first thing I learned on the first day of owning it. Thank you.
Yes, usually DJI sponsored reviewers will leave many of the negative features out of their reviews.
This drone is a game changer I love the fact it just does everything its self if I want it to while I do other things great video Steve 📹
