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.
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🙏🏽💯
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 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'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!
@@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!😁
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.
@@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?
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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 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 👍👍
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.
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 !!!!
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.
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.
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.
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
@@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.
I am expecting to receive a Neo in the next few days- my first 'real' drone. Your in-depth review is much appreciated. Not a complete newbie but because of your efforts I might appear a bit less ridiculous in front of my grandkids when we fly it. Thanks!
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
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!
I think the reason it landed is because of the sensor at the bottom. It's how you make it land when you put your hand under. Your palm breaks the beam. Therefore, if you fly that slow in a dark room, it sees darkness of the low objects and thinks that it's a palm,causing the beam to brake, so it automatically lands.
This is the drone I’ve always wanted from DJI. I love the idea of a super tiny drone, and I love that it’s like a mini Avata. Also, the fact it has the follow and spotlight AI features is just so handy for showing people your environment quickly. I don’t need it for anything professional or competitive and just enjoy flying. The batteries for it are also so cheap that I really don’t mind the 16 minute flight time. It’s a fantastic little vehicle.
It really is the perfect drone for casual flying. I believe DJI will sell a LARGE number of these at Christmas and my guess is that by the summer or even spring, you’ll see DJI pushing out the NEO PRO.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
So I have the iphone smart app on my phone and the neo I run the dji fly app and it asks if I want to join network DJI NE bc80" I say yes and I'm connected to the NEO . Then the app tells me to activate and when I say ok, it tells me I have no wifi connection. It's disconnecting the bluetooth connection from the neo when i switch over to wifi network. When i change my settings on my phone to connect to wifi then the dji app says I'm no longer connected to neo and an aircraft connection is needed to active, HELP. thanks (ps...I dont have a data cell plan..just wifi)
Hi Steve 😀👋. A really great and amazing Drone. The DJI Neo.2 👍👍 up . 💯 Very durable and flys great. Just not made for night flight or low level light flights 😢. Affordable price. A fantastic review 👍💯🙂. Thank you so very much Steve for this wonderful video and God bless you and your family always 🙏. Have a great week my friend.
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.
It's an excellent little drone for those who want to use it in the nature to film themselves, walking/cycling/running using the follow me/direction following, modes. But I think it is a little bit too limited for regular drone or fpv use.
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.
When used without remote/mobile, and it has to keep distance from you then how can you reach it to land on your palm ? as whenever you try to get closer to it then it will get further back.
This is why, it always returns to you after a circle, dronie, etc. If in follow mode, it wants to follow as you move away to it, and not as you walk towards it. You'd have to use a remote to get it to follow you from the front and move away, but at that point, the remote is how you bring it back & land it.
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.
I have a DJI Neo on the way; ETA 10-10-24. I purchased it primarily because it can be flown one-handed with the DJI Fly app on my cellular telephone handset (I fell prey to a crippling stroke on 03-21-22, am almost bedridden, and cannot use my right arm). I can't wait until it gets here so I can charge it and take her up for her maiden flight. 🙂
You’re gonna love it! You may wish to consider the goggles and motion controller for flying one handed at distance & ease of use. Watch my second video of the NEO where I fly it FPV with motion controller one handed.
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
Requisition is the best yet. It actually looks side to side to find you. NOTE: H.264 is available optional. Like Hover Air, if YOU dont walk into a tree, it wont fly into it.
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.

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…
Just like an upgraded version of spark and small also reminds me of tello
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!
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?
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.
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.
Thanks for the tip that the explanation of FPV flying and all that comes with it will follow later, because that was actually the reason for watching.
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
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!
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?
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.
I would get one with a remote.
I love your reviews super informative and when I buy I always go by your reviews super thorough .
I appreciate that!
Are you at Petrie Island?… 👀
Exactly
Was waiting on this review. Best drone RUclipsr out there! Already bought this and waiting but love to learn from you
Thank you!
The rotor sound is horrible
So I have the iphone smart app on my phone and the neo
I run the dji fly app and it asks if I want to join network DJI NE bc80"
I say yes and I'm connected to the NEO . Then the app tells me to activate and when I say ok, it tells me I have no wifi connection. It's disconnecting the bluetooth connection from the neo when i switch over to wifi network.
When i change my settings on my phone to connect to wifi then the dji app says I'm no longer connected to neo and an aircraft connection is needed to active,
HELP.
thanks (ps...I dont have a data cell plan..just wifi)
The noise will get to you eventually and nearby people will get aggravated very fast. Be careful with this drone and noise pollution.
I bought it and I expect it in 3 days
Your video is the best I've seen 👌and I actually watched quite a few before I bought it. Thank U Captain!!!
Hope you enjoy it! And thanks for the positive comment on the video.
Not compatible with Goggles 2?!?!
Screw DJI and their "no compatible" market strategy BS.
Hi Steve 😀👋. A really great and amazing Drone. The DJI Neo.2 👍👍 up . 💯
Very durable and flys great. Just not made for night flight or low level light flights 😢.
Affordable price. A fantastic review 👍💯🙂. Thank you so very much Steve for this wonderful video and God bless you and your family always 🙏. Have a great week my friend.
Thank you
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.
It's an excellent little drone for those who want to use it in the nature to film themselves, walking/cycling/running using the follow me/direction following, modes.
But I think it is a little bit too limited for regular drone or fpv use.

😅
Fun video ! 😃
I’ve seen one or two reviews on this drone, but was waiting for your review!
Thanks captain!!
Hope you liked it!
Will you try it with goggles ? Thanks.
Yes, an FPV Review is next
Best Neo review on You Tube. Thank you
Wow, thanks!
The noise is very annoying
@@YatzP 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
Good tip about using a DJI bag to carry the Neo. I ordered a little case for mine on Amazon and forgot about the extra DJI bags I have.
That sound is a dealbreaker.
Your clips are always very very good and very informative,...thanks💯💯💯💯🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
So nice of you, thank you
Always informative! still my #1 channel !!!!!
Thank you very much!
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
This Drone reminds me of the Spark, one of my favorite drones. Was waiting for your review before i buy it.
I been waiting for your review cause I know you always give a true honest reveiw
Thank you!
Best video about dji neo so far! Definitely buying one!
Awesome, hope you enjoy it!
When used without remote/mobile, and it has to keep distance from you then how can you reach it to land on your palm ? as whenever you try to get closer to it then it will get further back.
This is why, it always returns to you after a circle, dronie, etc. If in follow mode, it wants to follow as you move away to it, and not as you walk towards it. You'd have to use a remote to get it to follow you from the front and move away, but at that point, the remote is how you bring it back & land it.
You are a amazing guy, thanks for the nicely done video......thanks again.
My pleasure! And thanks for watching.
Thanks for the excellent review. I am looking forward to the next review you’re doing on it.
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.
I have a DJI Neo on the way; ETA 10-10-24. I purchased it primarily because it can be flown one-handed with the DJI Fly app on my cellular telephone handset (I fell prey to a crippling stroke on 03-21-22, am almost bedridden, and cannot use my right arm).
I can't wait until it gets here so I can charge it and take her up for her maiden flight. 🙂
You’re gonna love it! You may wish to consider the goggles and motion controller for flying one handed at distance & ease of use. Watch my second video of the NEO where I fly it FPV with motion controller one handed.
Petrie island ftw - you're almost my next door neighbour! Excellent review - i'm going to ask santa to get me one - it will be my first drone.
Merry Christmas!
I will invest in Cup to avoid nut crash😂😂😂😂😂
Awesome review of the Neo.
My Neo arrives tomorrow.
Your review is the best I have watched on the Tube.
Thank you! Enjoy your NEO!
As usual, great review. Thanks!
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
I just ordered mine, this is so cool. Found out about it today! My 1st dronie 😅
Requisition is the best yet. It actually looks side to side to find you. NOTE: H.264 is available optional. Like Hover Air, if YOU dont walk into a tree, it wont fly into it.
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.
