It's a good idea but guys be careful those magnets might mess up your GPS and compus calibrations when flying outside. then it will be bye bye drone 😢😢
Great idea 💡 There are little Cree LEDs that are designed to fit on the legs of Mini drones that are very light in weight. Maybe the solution is to have a couple facing forward and one down? Or 2 facing forward underneath at an angle so they illuminate down and forward? The forward facing camera also needs light to see 👀 as well as the downward facing sensors which help stability. The other thing affecting stability might be the magnet 🧲 because inside the drone are sensors like a compass sensor and inclinometer sensor to measure angle which both might be affected by the magnet?
Hey Kola, You could cut a white ping-pong ball in half and stick one half of the ball over the light so it illuminates all around 360°. The light will shine through the white plastic ping-pong ball like the drones they use in those Drone Shows. Just a thought. I like your modest way of testing. It was fun to follow you through the testing process. Best Wishes! I subscribed so I could see more of your videos.
Nice work, please try it again but crank the exposure up. You should (with that light) be able to fly outside or in an abandoned building at night. The video wont be anthing comparable to daylight flight, but it should work. Thank you for your experiment.
I Have the same light , STRIPPED anything that wasn't needed so to make light lighter lol , all good but its not to improve light f I r camera/ drone but just to see where it is in the sky
Technically it needs enough light through the camera as well. Why they say, correctly, that it has no obstacle avoidance sensors, it constantly uses the camera image to manage forward flight. This is easily demonstrated by attempting to fly it into yourself slowly (in normal lighting conditions) - I like your inquisitive approach, trying to learn what affects the Neo, in what ways. That said.. MAGNETS Are generally a bad idea near drones. Specifically this, like ALL DJI Drones uses an electronic MAGNETIC COMPASS. It can be EASILY affected and lose calibration. I have not had to recalibrate Neo yet, but magnets would not be something I want near the Neo, Even rebar in sidewalks and cement driveways will kill the compass. Interesting that you were able to pull off a flight - and that you were able to get the light oriented well enough to fly AND not block the TimeOfFlight sensors on the bottom, All inn all, a really interesting experiment!
@Experiances did you have the light tilted forward like i did in the later part of the video? I saw another video earlier today some guys did the same but a different light and they were flying in fpv instead of normal mode like i was and there's was very smooth
Cool video! Just a heads up: magnets might throw off Neo's internal compass. I'd be careful with that-strong tape might be safer. Thanks for making this; it's a neat idea. Maybe DJI will include a built-in light in Neo 2. 😊 I hope you have a great day. May God bless you. Jesus Christ loves you! You are precious, irreplaceable, and you matter! Take care. 🙂
The Neo does not work well indoors even with all the lights on. When I go from one lighting condition to another it just takes off forward in a split second at high speed out of control and crashes into whatever is in front of it. It won't fly indoors for more than a minute or so without going out of control and smashing into something. None of my other dozen or so drones have this issue including my 5 other DJI drones, even the cheap little Mavic Mini and the Tello work fine indoors. DJI Support told me the Neo is meant for outdoor use only even though the users manual says otherwise. I bought the Neo to fly indoors during the winter. Starting to see tons of blogs on this issue. Many people are experiencing similar issues. It helps to strap a light to the bottom of the drone but, there is no good place to strap it because the battery and camera are in the way. I figure DJI will have to address the issue at some point. Nice aircraft otherwise.
thats genius my dude. you get a sub for that!
Thank you 🙏🏾
Flying the Neo at 1 am in your hood is crazy yo 😂 people thinking the aliens are coming with that noise 😂😂😅
Lol 😂😂
😂😂😂
Naw the police have drones now. At least that's what i would think
Exactly what I had in mind, good to see someone made a video about it 😄
good experiment!
Cool little drone! Great job with the light experiment!
@@WyomingRider thank you
It's cool idea, thanks

@ricardov2469 good point, tho i have had any issues with mine, perhaps because of where i placed it.
Cool !!
Thanks

@PhotoLogic-SightFlight that's a good idea i never would've thought of, thanks
great job dude 👍🏻
Vídeo show! Parabéns meu amigo!
Thank you men
try following mode, without controller, doest it coulkd do it?>
Great video fam 🫡

can you test at what height it will begin to lose stabilization?
@@WillofDion i will and maybe put it in my next neo video
nice test
我也是今天才拿到的DJI NEO机器，但是我在夜晚第一次尝试使用遥控器飞行的时候惊讶的发现根本无法控制，在夜晚有微弱灯光的路边无论是20+的卫星信号，只要一起飞马上就会失去控制乱飘，我之前使用过mini和air系列从未在晚上和暗光环境下出现这种问题，直到我了解了非常多视频发现失控问题非常常见。通过博主的视频非常明显下方的摄像头传感器发现是暗光就会立刻失去飞机定位，这对于主打新手来说的neo产品非常的危险
Thre are some tiny flash light that you can pu under the drone I had a couple that hardley weight a thing on my first mavic pro.
Cool, i'm gonna look into them
try using infra red to help capturing pictures and videos.
@@bambangwirawan9940 good idea
Also increase the exposure to max
@@MicMaine that's a good idea
Is a magnet on the battery a good idea tho? (Don't flip on me, just asking)

Magnets and Compass...no problem?

Bud, As someone else also commented can you test what height is max altitude for stabilization?
@@Experiances i'll try it and maybe put it in my next video.
@@KingKola_ Thanks! I just tried yesterday and it didn't work at all. I had put almost the same LED below the tiny dude.

@@KingKola_ No i attached towards bottom only. Let me try towards bit forward as well.
Man, what if you put some mini LEDs in front of the neo drone? I think it would work... kkkkk

Good experiment bro, but definitely this drone is not for flying at night
should modify flash light itself. make it smaller
@@zayiden not really possible with that one
I also did a test at night with a 5.8 g LED It worked perfectly in total darkness, the test is on my channel if you want to see it.
