It’s a great little drone and certainly worth the money 👍😃. After buying mine, I then bought FPV goggles and controller.. and had my first FPV flights with it. Such fun! I think 5he Neo is a “taster drone” it’ll let you sample various modes.. cine..FPV..follow.. it’s a fantastic little thing. However.. due to its shape and lightweight design, it doesn’t like the wind. Which is a problem here in the Uk (certainly at the moment!). The Mini 4 Pro (and probably the 4K?) can handle the wind much better and apparently you can even fly FPV with the mini 4 pro.. but I haven’t tried it yet personally. Cheers Steve
I can fly my mini 3 pro FPV, so I'm sure you can with the mini 4 pro. It even has head tracking, which is super immersive. I fly self built fpv drones mostly, but the mini 3 pro in FPV is a nice, occasional change.
You should be fine. The phone gps works even when your maps show blank. You should update your maps by looking at the area you intend in going when you have service.
Thanks for the fun video. I just unboxed my Neo yesterday and had my first flight. I’ve never had or used a drone. I almost bought a cheap off brand drone but chose to go for the Neo because of the DJI brand. I’m in love and yes mine was also less than 200$, 150$ to be exact ❤
You are so right about the NEO! Stunning flight and views. It's the most versatile, fun and least expensive drone DJI has ever introduced. I'm sorry you lost a drone. I'm subbing. Greetings from Montreal, Canada.
Yes its the most fun awesome little drone ever! My wife bought me the FPV goggles for Christmas along with the Motion 3 controller…Waiting for a clear day here in New Jersey Can’t wait to fly FPV
I think the NEO is a great drone. I just have the drone right now but it's cool that I can keep adding accessories to it. I also wished my other controllers worked with this one since I have the AIR 2S and the Mini 4K and now I have to get the N3. I think it is a great first drone thought for all it can do.
I agree,ticks me off also.I have the Air 2 and Mini 3 pro, I swore I wouldn’t buy a Neo because my other RC’s wouldn’t work with it, but I couldn’t help myself broke down and bought the basic model. It was a Christmas present from my wife have to wait till Christmas to open it.
What drone flew away? What secret capability? Great footage. I’m asking this until someone can answer. Is it possible to have the Neo acquire an Avata 2 and autonomously follow it? I think I’m going to have to get my own Neo and try it myself. Thanks for the video. You should check out the Specta Mini. It’s a DJI Mini 2 or 4k but with out the DJI markings and it’s only $200!for aircraft, controller and battery.
Hi Chris AKA Dad Random ;) Just Bought the DJI Neo Fly more combo with Motion Controller 3, Goggles N3 and DJI FPV Contrer 3. I have not flown it yet but I will keep my original Mini 2 as it can fly in higher winds than the Neo and the Mini 2 is not worth anything anymore :) It is still a capable drone and I am sure the UK winds will blow the Neo away almost any day. Great Video :)
Just got the base neo (great Black Friday deal at £120 uk - unreal for a real Dji ) I’m using it with my phone to begin with as I don’t want the messy N3 + phone setup (hated that faff with the mini) , I’m after getting the RC2 which will.be forward compatible being O4 , Yeah it’s twice the price of the drone but I’ll be adding to this later ..
Thanks for your video. I'm an old Spark pilot. But the batteries are dying and I want to replace her. I've watched at least 2 dozen videos each on the DJI Mini 3, Mini 3 Pro, Mini 4 Pro, NEO, and the Air 2. Came so close to buying the Mini 4 Pro I was one click away from the purchase. But asked myself what kind of pilot am I? Or what am I not? I'm not movie maker. I'm not an influencer with a channel to feed all the time. And I asked myself when I didn't fly my Spark, why was that? Thanks for making it easier for me to buy the thing. Everyone has a wish list. More flight time, less noise, better camera ... but then that all gets nipped when you want simplicity and a smaller package. This little thing is going to be the most indoor friendly drone I've used and I'm looking forward to taking it more places. Places I didn't take my Spark because it was such a hassle. I'm now a subscriber and I look forward to more of your videos.
excellent deduction, the best drone is the one you will use most often. I went through these feelings many times, and I keep the NEO in my truck almost all of the time
I like my Neo. Cool like drone to fly in manual mode in the house or yard. It's a 200 dollar drone. It is the cheap drone when talking DJI drones. So take that into consideration. But still buy one 😆
What was the purpose (at 2:21) for the beep-out while saying the word NEO? Actually, you did it twice, and was very annoying, as was flashing the words DJI/Neo multiple times. Unfortunately, I could not finish watching the rest of the video because it was like watching a poorly produced DJI ad.
He said the name of the wrong drone. So he bleeped it out and put the correct word onscreen. Don't be overly critical. Everyone doesn't have a full film crew and editing team.
@@RJ2A81 yes, but if he knows how to do that in the editing software, he could have just recorded himself saying “Neo” and edited/dubbed it instead of the annoying bleep 😂
The NEO is an awesome piece of gear. At its price point limit your expectations. Would like DJI to add "Camera" with timed shots, say 5 Sec & 10 Sec intervals to ALL 6 of the NEO preset shooting modes. At present think only the "Spotlight mode" mode offers timed photos. Recognize that drone capture has been prioritized towards Videographers. Only offering the "Video" Camera Mode is a bit limiting. Primarily a Still photographer. With my Mavic 3 have captured some amazing stills. NEO Camera will have to wait for the NEO Pro so don’t big deal it. Simple an limited Camera/Still settings should be an easy add.
The neo is great for the price and the fly more combo is awesome, but the video quality is just not the same as the more expensive drones, the main problem I have with the neo is it’s wind sensitivity, it really restricts when you can fly it, where as the mini 4 pro fly more combo gives you so much more flexibility in wind, but it is twice the price… neo is definitely awesome for a first drone though! Great video! I bought the neo first, but then bought the DJI Mini 4 Pro 4 weeks later.
It’s just as expensive as a mini 4K if you buy it with the controller. Which is needed for all you are showing. But it’s a better beginner drone than the 4K but has worse video quality.
Not much of a noticeable difference though. I'll stick with the Mini 4K for the weight. Not to mention the other features that the Neo doesn't have. And by the time you buy a controller it's more expensive for the Neo anyway...what's the point?? Indoor flying??
@@InnerSanctum77no. It's convenience. There's no setup time. See something you want to film? Turn it on and film it. No unfolding, connecting remotes and phones etc etc, even though you can fly it like that if you want. Between the follow modes, on drone quick shots, and using your phone as a remote, you can do basically anything quickly. I consider the Neo's use case like how you would use and action cam, where the Minis/Mavics would be your DSLR.
I loved this flight and your enthusiasm is infectious. Also appreciate your common sense and wisdom on this great drone.
@@crud5774 thank you
Kick ass video! I wish DJI would sell extended range batteries like they do for the mini 4 pro.
@@ADV_Agenda I always buy extended range
@@DadRandom I was talking about the Neo batteries 😉 love your channel thanks for getting back to me ✌️

This guy has been living under a rock, that feature has been out from day one
Brilliant video mate !
@@briancaveill3441 the NEO does all the work
Do you feel the aftermarket props help for less battery drain ?
No, and I hope Master Airscrew drops some of their props on us to try.
I tend to fly in areas without cellular data coverage will it fly with the RC-N3 and phone or will it become limited in range (geofenced)?
You should be fine. The phone gps works even when your maps show blank. You should update your maps by looking at the area you intend in going when you have service.
I just bought this as my first ever Drone, I’m really enjoying it
It’s a slam dunk great little kit
Got one the other day. Its amazing.
bam!
I loved your video..I am waiting for my Neo Drone to arrive..so anxious and now more..watching how amazing is to fly it!!..Excellent video my friend!!
Should have a great time with your NEO
Schönes Video.

Loved your review. I think I am going to get it!!
Get the controller N3 for the most control and multipurpose use.

Hi there, can You tell me the brand of the propellers?? Please
Here they are props for DJI Neo amzn.to/41t9zxL
The Neo is definitely awesome but I went with the Mini 4K because it was cheaper when you factor in the controller. I like the added weight too.
@@InnerSanctum77 The mini 4k can track you inside the car and follow ?
I'm addicted to this thing. Got one last week.
i have it in my truck all the time. A drone is only as good as it is available to the user
I like flying this little guy around the house. Waiting for my goggles n3 and fpv controller 3 to arrive.
Love your energy
Appreciate that 👌🏻
@@DadRandom I just bought one so I was looking for videos on how the neo runs and your videos assured me I made the right choice. Thanks

I bought the Avata 2 a couple months ago. I think I need the Neo for my other hand.
Fun to fly both
@@sadiedog5071 well, I had both allready...lol...I can't resist have both... FPV types

dude your amazing!!! the Neo is a great little multi use media platform and sport FPV
It really is!
Considering the price and size, this thing is freaking amazing.
Trying to convince people that this one may be the best
Secret capabilities? Sounds more like a DJI sponsored promo.
Great video, i love mine.. What props are you using?
Great video! Sorry you lost a drone!
Crap drones do that. Don’t buy crap, and you will never have a flyaway. 7 years of flying, 3 flyaway issues. I recovered all but this one.
Where did you get the mic to sync up to the cam?

@@Adam_T £120? Where? Not new I assume, I haven't seen them less than £169 anywhere
@ Argos.
Just know that if you lose connection to your phone, Neo will not automatically return home. It will land where it lost signal after the battery dies.

I wonder if the fly-away drone was a Holy Stone...
Or like a Holystone type drone? 😂
Yesterday with goggles n 3 and three batteries I captured stunning video in the snow at Hope valley . Very clear video with four k. Very happy with it

I kept calling it a mini
@DadRandom ah i see. makes sense than.
Please can someone teaCh me how to use the rc controller.. 😢
Yes Im happy with my DJI neo’ you can check my flight too.
The DJI Neo will 100% suffer a flyaway just like cheaper drones. It's actually a common complaint with the Neo
I was just wondering why I never hear of drone pilots putting air tags in their drones?
+@LarryRichelli AirTags add weight, but are not FAA compliant
