    Thank you for sharing the video. I also struggled with the tracking while skiing, but I had it on low setting, so it would be closer to the ground as I was descending. I wish I had more time to do more tests.
    I believe it all has to do with the sensors the neo uses to calculate the distance from the ground. We all know they don’t work well over water, so high chances it struggles with snow too. I was amazed by how well it corrected the white balance on the video, but I would have loved better tracking. Still an amazing pocket sized drone that is worth every penny.

    I tried my Neo in Sauze and Sestriere on the opening weekend.. It did struggle. Seems not to like the sudden height drop and at one point started tracking another member of our group, not me. I’m in Sauze now with a Hover Air X1 Pro and I’m hoping for better results. Keep up the good work ❤

      I did some basic stuff and its already blown the Neo away. Also helps spotting it as its black against a white back ground. Will try with the beacon tomorrow when it’s quieter. Might upload preliminary footage this evening.

    I have both the NEO & HoverAir X1 and X1 Pro, the NEO is a fun little versatile inexpensive drone but unfortunately it's tracking capabilities and speed is no where near the HoverAir drones and that's why it's half the price ;) Not to mention the video quality is sub par for a 4K camera which is surprising in a DJI product as I also own and love their other drones. Great video, I need to get out skiing myself!

      thanks for commenting, I agree that HoverAir performs better, I saw some videos. I did more tests in my new video here ruclips.net/video/Ot5DZtGCrGs/видео.html
      However, as Neo can fly much faster than 30 km/h I really hope that DJI comes up with a firmware update that improves following and tracking performance at least up to 50 km/h.
      I also want compatibility with motioncontroller2, integra, rc-n1.

      @@alextan75 Yah, I have the Avata 2 and main reason why I got the NEO so that I can use my goggles, motionRC and FPV RC with it, thats the great thing about the NEO but the tracking and speed and accuracy is not comparison to the HoverAir. Also, I travel quite often so the folding HoverAir plays a important part for me in terms of portability. The original X1 is awesome, still love it and it's the smallest of the three. Even at 2.7K, it still tracks well and gives good footage.

    Little test of the X1 Pro in the bowl today as a comparison. Will push it harder in Tuesday when it’s more quiet and try out the beacon.
