@davidho2695 And yet I managed to not just break but completely destroy one prop and damage another from flying into the back of the sofa at a speed at most 1kph! How the hell can I manage that?! I believe it was a loose straind of nylon on the blanket hanging off it, but how did it get two props? Just lucky the drone comes with exactly 2 spare props lol
It has to be since it’s shit and will crash often lol I’ve been flying it FPV in full manual and it’s ok but for people that wanted to have this cool selfie drone… i feel for them. It flew away and lost control one way or another almost each time i was testing it. Not to mention the camera quality… you could just get Pavo Pico :/
@@jakubkrukowski4716 yeah I’ve had mixed results with that subject track functions - a few times it did indeed seem to just fly off randomly. Not lost it completely yet though. Maybe still a few bugs that need to be ironed out
They should pay you for this video. Seriously. Crashing drones is obviously the #1 fear of pilots, but this video proves that it's extremely difficult to hurt this thing! What a fantastic beginner drone, I am going to get one for my daughter.
Great to hear you enjoyed this one and that it inspired some confidence. There is a second crash test one in the making at the moment so watch this space - some more interesting revelations!
@@ride-fly-dive this drone is a beast!!! Can’t wait for ours to arrive after they start the release on oct 8th here in us. They are already sold out on the dji store too

@@dronewilder5234amigo Saludos desde Costa Rica. Acabo de comprarlo y tu vídeo nos a dado mucha confianza de que tenemos un pequeño mata gigantes 🙋🏻♂️
Little Gladiator there took more pounding than a nail and still works. I can't believe it. In a world where everything breaks when you sneeze on it, this is like alien technology. Sold, sold, and sold. I will be getting one. Amazing video!
This is my second day with my first ever drone -- a Neo with goggles. I found your videos. Not only entertaining, but valuable for those of us scared to death to break our drone. Well done.
Absolutely Incredible. Suitable for any child and any Novice flyer, with the reassurance that it is unlikely to suffer any serious damage during a crash. A credit to DJI. Awesome !
Fantastic Video well done congratulations, I came here on the premise that I was hoping I get some understanding and reassurance of the protection of the robustness of the Neo drone, as I bought one and have been flying out for three weeks .... but just today it hit a tree and dropped 12 feet down onto concrete Road bang smacked firm hard.. picked it up of course.. nothing wrong with it and I was so worried it would lose some functionality charging senses et camera gimbal or lense sensitivity or tracking issues... cetera however everything was perfect so after watching your video I can now sleep tonight I know I've done no real damage to it and it was certainly falling at 12 feet of height which would've been only 10 to 15 km/hour compared to what you've done and of course the camera was protected with my fail s as it landed on its feet then bounced a little bit. Well done made my day made my year ....have a great day cheers Andrew
@@zulupenman thanks man - really interesting to hear other people’s experiences. I know the drone has certain limitations in terms of its camera quality but it’s so worth remembering what huge benifits you get from the low weight and inertia in terms of its crash resistance
Of course a little painful to watch but one of the most useful test videos. Thank you very much, I ordered one already and this is a good confirmation.
I bought the Neo, then i wanted to play at goggles, then i bought Avata 2 set with the goggles 3, and i still find the Neo is far more suitable for indoor flying. I hit few times a wall, a floor, and its still like a new. And even if at some time it will be destroyed, then its still only 200 eur. Very good product.
This has to be one of the funniest videos I have ever seen. I am literally crying I am laughing so hard. Just ordered this drone today. Very encouraged after watching this that I may actually not be able to damage the Neo. Thank you for the inspiration.
As a beginner drone 'pilot', this thing has given me so much confidence to jump into the hobby and not be afraid to try things. It controls so well and goes fast enough for my enjoyment, and at $200, I wouldn't lose sleep if it broke in the first year. However, after watching this, I have a feeling this thing won't die unless I crash it in water. Thanks for doing this. I'm going to fly it around my house more for some practice :D
Well its good to know i bought a durable drone for my first drone. Thanks for the action packed smashing of the Neo. Tuff 🥊 one, sorry for your lost to the 135g Neo 🏆
Thank you for this video! I crashed my DJI Neo recently because I was flying too near to a building, and suddenly it loses GPS signal and it went into ATTI mode. Within one second, it drifted and hit the building. Although the flying speed was slow, it fell down from the height of three stories building. The gimbal was slightly detached and there were scratches on the drone. I was able to push the gimbal back in and it still can fly. Was worried that the drone would not function properly after the crash. However, after watching you throwing it down the cliff, it made me felt relieved. DJI Neo rocks!!!
@@leetzeyang that’s amazing - so glad you managed to fix it. The rubber camera retainers are definitely one of the main weak points but even for those to go it’s takes quite a serious impact. Flying around tall buildings definitely carries a risk of loosing GPS. My advice is to fly slow and near the ground around the area you are looking to film, keep an eye on your GPS lock quality, then if you are confident with GPS lock you can fly higher where ground sensors won’t be able to help if GpS lock is lost 👍
@@dronewilder5234 Thanks for your advice! Moving forward I will ensure I fly the drone further away from the building before I let fly it higher. A good lesson learnt for me. Looking forward to more of your amazing contents!
Yes - and even when it does get damaged it somehow keeps going. Obviously don’t expect multiple front on hits without some damage to the gimbal mounts 😂
Generally, I do not like this type of destructive videos as I do not see the point in purposely destroying something that some poorer person coud use. However, you have prooved that the NEO (and yes Ijust bought one) is indeed almost "indistructable" a fantastic advert for DJI and I hope they give you a new one for doing these tests. You have also got a like and I have subscribed. Well done a well presented video, thanks.
@@chriscflint thank you so much. I would like to also point out that I’m one of these people who generally looks after his drones. Even hanger rash on drones upsets me normally but these tests where set out with the purpose of creating an entertaining and informative video so the Neo I (nearly) destroyed served that purpose - even then some of the crashes where tough to witness 😂😂.
Thank you for your service and sacrifice of the Neo , you video gives me more confidence if flying mine. Real time testing like this should be shown by DJI when selling, I am sure there would be more sales
@@MrGibbie2210 thank you very much. I have a feeling dji won’t be struggling for sales with this drone anyway! Just to confirm though, I’m 100% unaffiliated and unsponsored by Dji so you can be assured the opinions I give are 100% mine 🙂🙂
@@leewixx glad it helped you make a decision. For people who already have the avata 2 and fpv system I feel it’s an excellent buy because of the low weight and fun factor added in fpv
Very good video footage of crashing the Dji neo 😮. For the price definitely I will pick one up for my children to play with. I have to give you credit for doing this. I will never try to crash my drone to test anything is valuable.😢 . Good job. 👍 💵💵
Hey, you're so patient. For a moment I thought you were gonna jump on it. DJI should put it on the Main Page. I'm sure it'll increase sales 10- times over. 👏 I also had some concerns, I wondered if it would be damaged, I was thinking that I should print a bumper or something from the 3d printer around it. Now I can use it like crazy. Thanks for the free experience. This is very valuable
@@YasinBikmazer I’d still be careful though - there are some cases reported where it breaks a bit easier so maybe I was just quite lucky. It’s still extremely resilient though compared to other drones. A printed bumper could be a good idea if you intend to crash it a lot
Impact detected! Pretty heavy duty little bugger. Technically now that we know all the fail places, We could even add some foam bumpers or TPU 3D printed protectors to the weak spots. To make it really indestructible! I wonder if a screen protector would have helped with the impact? Awesome video and valuable info in it for the community! Good work and RIP poor NEO!
@@JBC_cat actually you’re right - a UV filter may have helped prevent damage to the camera for sure. Perhaps one argument for using them despite the general (debatable) perception that ND filters are pointless on this drone
What a drone seriously unbelievable and thanks to show this type of content because I recently purchased Dji neo that’s why I really like this type of stuff with great human and great voice god bless you brother 👦 go ahead and create good content in future 👍
Love your tests 👍😀 I touched a branch with my Neo when it was virtually stationary. It fell maybe 4 metres into a downward slope For some reason taht was enough to break something inside it so it rattled when I shook it. It complained about take off angle when it was level and gimbal overload. When these cleared and it took off it flew to tbe side and crashed! Not as indestructible as yours 😂
Hahahaha. I’m laughing so hard while watching you. Your face looks so frustrated already but the drone still keeps on working every time. Good job DJI!! Now i wont be scared for my neo bumping on a wall at low speed.😂
As a punster, Drone Wilder was on my short list of channel names at one time. I think we discussed the low mass design at 135 grams does more to keep Neo alive than all the armor in the world. It is more likely to bounce than follow through to destruction, right? Right! Similar results all over the place. It almost can't Fly FAST ENOUGH to kamikaze itself. But you worked SO HARD at you self assigned task. Well done. DC Rainmaker crashed it some 150 times, I think, and... could not ill it!!! I think in non-manual mode (Normal, Sport Mode) it is essentially indestructible for all intents. Very Entertaining. I do wonder of a tempered glass lens protector may have saved the lens sacrificially - or the bracket bumper bars they sell.
Absolutely - bumper bars and something like a clip of uv filter should be able to protect the gimbal although I think the impact inertia may still rip it off it’s rubber supports (this is actually one of its biggest weak points. Great to hear you found it entertaining!
@@dronewilder5234 well thanks to you I am very impressed by that little drone. I will be using it in weddings so I am sure it will take a lot more than a crash in case of an accident.
@@pedromoreno6836 absolutely - you’d have to be extremely unlucky for it to break from a slow paced shot at a wedding. The low weight also makes it brilliant for mitigation of risk to people.
Ohhh, man... I was really impressed with this! I managed to buy a DJI mini 3 with just one battery so far. Here in Brazil, the dollar is so expensive... If it's not too much to ask, could you send me one of these as a gift? If the camera wasn't damaged, it could even be this one from the test... I would be very grateful if you could. I'm slowly trying to make real estate videos here for some real estate agencies and I would really like to learn FPV and add this service as well. I always watch videos of Avata 1 and 2 (dreams) but this Neo after your video left me speechless. I haven't found any videos of Neo for real estate presentations yet, but it must be good, right? A big hug and thanks for sharing these experiences!
Hello friend.. I'm happy to have a literally indestructible drone.. brave!!!!! Congratulations on the video.. incredible and unique. I don't think even DJI did that.. lol. You earned a subscription and admiration.
HA... loved your disclaimer, and while I do experience some discomfort with drones being assaulted and physically abused, I can take it given your goal here :)
@@dronewilder5234 for sure. I bumped mine into a steel pole, and it survived the crash fine. I'm convinced the NEO is a great drone for gaining confidence on using the controller, getting used to the joysticks enough so much of what you do comes naturally, before moving on to the Mini 2 (which I have), 3 or 4 pro (which I want to get).
It’s always a good idea - this particular drone, while it survived, won’t be winning beauty contests of capturing gorgeous footage anymore after its abuse after all
Near the end of your torture tests, I was beginning to feel sorry for the "ol' fellow". When it crashed into the wall at 45 km/h, I clenched my teeth, tightly closed my eyes and almost missed a heart beat.
@@KamranDodhy I think a lot of us were rooting for him at this point - I feel like an evil villain! What’s worse there is one more video to come - he’s yet to undergo another trial and this one is worse!
Incredible! You should, however, pin a comment/disclaimer… even though you don’t see damage, you risk damaging the internals of the battery… if you left this unattended and charging it could cause a fire
@@davehudson5589 that’s a very good point. Ill look into adding a comment on this into my description for the video. Personally this drone is now decommissioned as far as my own use is concerned. Trusting your drone is important
Well, that was impressive. I've panicked when mines hit a tree in follow mode, lol I guess I can stop worrying now, lol. I bet a lot of people won't be using the dji care refresh on this one. Maybe they should do a mini 5 with that protection 😂😂 thanks for sharing 😁 👌 👍 🇬🇧
I really feel care refresh is a no brainer must have though for this one. It’s super cheap (19 quid) and replacements are £16 for a replacement. As much as it’s unlikely to break during crashes- you are then also covered for fly aways and water damage (which as I’ve shown WILL kill it!). Thanks for watching!
That NEO is going to get payback on you when you enter *The Matrix*! 😂 Thank you for the video, and at least have that youngster assisting you wear at least eye protection next time.
@@devendragurav4392 if you only activated it 48hrs ago - add care refresh (you can add it in that time even if you’ve crashed already). Then a replacement drone will be cheap. It’s £16 for a care refresh replacement here in the uk. I did damage the rubber camera holders quite early on as shown in the video. Whole I say the drone can take a fair few hits - it won’t stay pristine after many. It still takes more abuse than any other dji drones I know though
This wasn't YOU Challenging Neo. Nossir. Nope! Neo was challenging YOU, plain and simple. You did well. You didn't break. Not break down. Very good sir! They DO make a camera guard, metal "U" shaped bit, that I have AVOIDED on Avata 2 with reports that it can potentially course worse damage in some crash scenarios. On NEO? I think I may try a bumper bar, strictly because of the deformation you illustrated with yours. Bit of a crap shoot, but that's how I am rolling.
It definitely beat me- just look at the state of me and my trousers at the end!! Yeah I’d say if you use the neo in situations which risk a lot of crashes then the guard could be worth it - otherwise I’d save as much weight as possible.
Awesome neo and care refresh an awesome team ! Excellent vid and they are now sold out on dji site here in us even though they will not be released until Oct 19th 😂
Wow, super impressive! Wonder what bystanders at the beach where thinking when you hit the wall each time you flew "home" 😅 I was on the fence about this drone, but looks like it can take any crash, probably because of its ligh weight and all plastic few moving parts design. I can only imagine this was exhausting to shoot. Great work. Great test.
Thanks just beware that I didn’t test crashes from different directions (for example side impacts) though these would be less likely and I’m sure it is still extremely durable even then. Thanks for the kind comments!
This is by far the best possible advertisement I've ever seen for the DJI Neo.
It's like the Nokia of Drones
Well done. That was a real torture test. The Neo was a lot more durable than everybody thought.

I'm watching my mailbox for mine!! Thanks for the video.
@@DesertCharleyVideos fingers crossed yours turns up soon!
deserve million views.
That would be amazing but I would be grateful for just a fraction of that 😂
I am definitely here because of the trigger ⚠️ warnings ... Now time for popcorn 🍿😀
@@mtmccornack 😂😂
As a punster, Drone Wilder was on my short list of channel names at one time. I think we discussed the low mass design at 135 grams does more to keep Neo alive than all the armor in the world. It is more likely to bounce than follow through to destruction, right? Right! Similar results all over the place. It almost can't Fly FAST ENOUGH to kamikaze itself. But you worked SO HARD at you self assigned task. Well done. DC Rainmaker crashed it some 150 times, I think, and... could not ill it!!! I think in non-manual mode (Normal, Sport Mode) it is essentially indestructible for all intents. Very Entertaining. I do wonder of a tempered glass lens protector may have saved the lens sacrificially - or the bracket bumper bars they sell.
Absolutely - bumper bars and something like a clip of uv filter should be able to protect the gimbal although I think the impact inertia may still rip it off it’s rubber supports (this is actually one of its biggest weak points. Great to hear you found it entertaining!
I am a big fan of durability test. Well done. Subbed! hahaha love it.
@@JeremyToh amazing thank you!
LOL... this is great !!!! Mine it will arrive this friday...
@@pedromoreno6836 Great - please treat yours better than I did mine 😜
@@dronewilder5234 well thanks to you I am very impressed by that little drone. I will be using it in weddings so I am sure it will take a lot more than a crash in case of an accident.
@@pedromoreno6836 absolutely - you’d have to be extremely unlucky for it to break from a slow paced shot at a wedding. The low weight also makes it brilliant for mitigation of risk to people.
Insane performance for $200!!! great product!
Absolutely
Damn, they should rename it Chuck Neoris! So glad it didn't end up throwing you off that cliff.
@@Arielle250590 one of my favourite comments on this 😂😂😂
this is insane. I just bought it but didn't plan to do torture the the NEO. It's worth it
Ohhh, man... I was really impressed with this! I managed to buy a DJI mini 3 with just one battery so far. Here in Brazil, the dollar is so expensive... If it's not too much to ask, could you send me one of these as a gift? If the camera wasn't damaged, it could even be this one from the test... I would be very grateful if you could. I'm slowly trying to make real estate videos here for some real estate agencies and I would really like to learn FPV and add this service as well. I always watch videos of Avata 1 and 2 (dreams) but this Neo after your video left me speechless. I haven't found any videos of Neo for real estate presentations yet, but it must be good, right? A big hug and thanks for sharing these experiences!
awesome video sir! thanks for this great review! i'm waiting for my neo combo package in our local store, i hope it arrives soon
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you for this break test as I'm going to purchase this tiny drone
Glad you found it useful!
@@dronewilder5234 Yes, it's really useful 🤝🏻
Terrific video!! Amazing drone!
Top class 👍 thanks for the test
@@-hastatus- thanks for watching
A gladiator indeed ... and an honorable call on your part conceding defeat.
It felt like the decent thing to do 😂
Little Neo Survived ! ! ! IMPRESSIVE ! ! ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Awesome video man 👍👍👍👍👍
Done Subscribed ✅✅✅✅✅
@@Agent_Semith thank you!
Best drone video ever
Best comment ever! 🙂🙂
It was painful to watch 🥺 but thank you 😅❤
Hello friend.. I'm happy to have a literally indestructible drone.. brave!!!!! Congratulations on the video.. incredible and unique. I don't think even DJI did that.. lol. You earned a subscription and admiration.
Thats amazing thanks for your sub and your support!
I glad I have purchased this as my first drone :)
@@dwightlee4315 brilliant choice for a first drone
@@dronewilder5234 Just tired it out this morning... it works great :D
Great drone!
One footstum from a big man like you...... yet sturdy lil drone!
The drone nearly broke me! 😜😂
Incredible
Love this!! So entertaining!!
HA... loved your disclaimer, and while I do experience some discomfort with drones being assaulted and physically abused, I can take it given your goal here :)
@@MicheIIePucca if showed what an incredible strength vs inertia ratio the drone has!
@@dronewilder5234 for sure. I bumped mine into a steel pole, and it survived the crash fine. I'm convinced the NEO is a great drone for gaining confidence on using the controller, getting used to the joysticks enough so much of what you do comes naturally, before moving on to the Mini 2 (which I have), 3 or 4 pro (which I want to get).
The NEO drone same you , very stronger muscle 🥰🥰🥰 thank you share video
Lol thanks 😂
Mate you definitely gotta your self a new subscriber. Incredible, can you tell me the name of the goggles? Have a good one, Max
@@MaxPhotoGraphic thanks - great to have your sub! The goggles are the Dji Goggles3
Incredible, unsure if me taking out refresh was needed 😂
It’s always a good idea - this particular drone, while it survived, won’t be winning beauty contests of capturing gorgeous footage anymore after its abuse after all
Greetings from Guatemala thanks for the video.
Near the end of your torture tests, I was beginning to feel sorry for the "ol' fellow". When it crashed into the wall at 45 km/h, I clenched my teeth, tightly closed my eyes and almost missed a heart beat.
@@KamranDodhy I think a lot of us were rooting for him at this point - I feel like an evil villain! What’s worse there is one more video to come - he’s yet to undergo another trial and this one is worse!
"I'm going to leave this place, it's starting to rain" As if the rain would be the demolishing the thing
@@Supermanenzo funnily enough I showed how a bit of rain is unlikely to harm it in one of my more recent videos
Incredible! You should, however, pin a comment/disclaimer… even though you don’t see damage, you risk damaging the internals of the battery… if you left this unattended and charging it could cause a fire
@@davehudson5589 that’s a very good point. Ill look into adding a comment on this into my description for the video. Personally this drone is now decommissioned as far as my own use is concerned. Trusting your drone is important
@@davehudson5589 great point on the explodable battery
I have it. Happy it is so durable!
is sport capped? i get mine to 30km/h with no FPV in canada, but u have to go into the rc-n3 gyro settings and raise the max speed first
@@ThaDuDeMaN1 yeah it’s capped at 28kmh but as you say you have to raise it from the default which is 25kmh.
Well, that was impressive. I've panicked when mines hit a tree in follow mode, lol I guess I can stop worrying now, lol. I bet a lot of people won't be using the dji care refresh on this one. Maybe they should do a mini 5 with that protection 😂😂 thanks for sharing 😁 👌 👍 🇬🇧
I really feel care refresh is a no brainer must have though for this one. It’s super cheap (19 quid) and replacements are £16 for a replacement. As much as it’s unlikely to break during crashes- you are then also covered for fly aways and water damage (which as I’ve shown WILL kill it!). Thanks for watching!
@dronewilder5234 definitely i took 2 years with mine as it was so cheap 😁
That NEO is going to get payback on you when you enter *The Matrix*! 😂 Thank you for the video, and at least have that youngster assisting you wear at least eye protection next time.
@@DrRevKing fair point about the eye protection - can’t do much more damage to his head though tbh 😜😂.
I bought the Neo after watching your video. First flight and it broke into pieces. I’m shattered with it. 😔
@@devendragurav4392 how did you crash it? Do you have care refresh? Is it still within 48 hrs of initial activation?
@@devendragurav4392 if you only activated it 48hrs ago - add care refresh (you can add it in that time even if you’ve crashed already). Then a replacement drone will be cheap. It’s £16 for a care refresh replacement here in the uk. I did damage the rubber camera holders quite early on as shown in the video. Whole I say the drone can take a fair few hits - it won’t stay pristine after many. It still takes more abuse than any other dji drones I know though
This wasn't YOU Challenging Neo. Nossir. Nope! Neo was challenging YOU, plain and simple. You did well. You didn't break. Not break down. Very good sir! They DO make a camera guard, metal "U" shaped bit, that I have AVOIDED on Avata 2 with reports that it can potentially course worse damage in some crash scenarios. On NEO? I think I may try a bumper bar, strictly because of the deformation you illustrated with yours. Bit of a crap shoot, but that's how I am rolling.
It definitely beat me- just look at the state of me and my trousers at the end!! Yeah I’d say if you use the neo in situations which risk a lot of crashes then the guard could be worth it - otherwise I’d save as much weight as possible.
Awesome neo and care refresh an awesome team !
Excellent vid and they are now sold out on dji site here in us even though they will not be released until Oct 19th 😂
@@IcelandAdventures im sure there will be more than we all wish for whizzing around by December 25th! 😂
Wow, super impressive! Wonder what bystanders at the beach where thinking when you hit the wall each time you flew "home" 😅
I was on the fence about this drone, but looks like it can take any crash, probably because of its ligh weight and all plastic few moving parts design.
I can only imagine this was exhausting to shoot. Great work. Great test.
Thanks just beware that I didn’t test crashes from different directions (for example side impacts) though these would be less likely and I’m sure it is still extremely durable even then. Thanks for the kind comments!
Ok, I'm impressed with the durability.
@@noohohno it’s a beast for durability
