It's already been extreme crash tested, and the original prop guards have held up just fine. Not sure how many drones can survive flying into a concrete wall at 30kph and not show any damage
@@PsychoticBovine That reviewer has just released a new video showing the drone shutting off the motors at 100 metres and trying to restart them before hitting the ground.
I flew mine hard into a tree with no effect, so I will pass on the bumpers, however, I would like it to show up better in the sky. I may paint the outer rims with florescent orange or yellow paint.
Got mine saturday night. Flew all day sunday, but only had my phone as controller. Its really worthless using the phone. My Air 3 and RC2 arrive tomorrow… will try again.
Nice one! I cheaped out and bought the £169 basic drone only...😊 The cost to FPV this is just a bit expensive, if you haven't already got the goggles and fpv controller😮😊
Hey there. Curious - at what elevation did you take off? I've been trying to find out any solid info on being able to take off over 2000 meters (about 6500ft). A lot of stuff I do is in mountains over 8000 feet, so it would be nice if this could fly higher than 6500 feet if I end up getting it!
AVATA 2 is 4k 60 and has faster bit transfer. So yes.🙌🏼 I am just amazed the little 200gram bird got out and back to that location. It’s astonishing that it can make it.
@@DadRandom yeah, I forgot about that fact, but even so it seems that the fluidity of the video will randomly get choppy, they're like little hiccups. Like one moment you're getting higher fps, the next moment lower fps. It is impressive range though.
Why would you even need protection for such a small and light cinewoop drone? In case it hits something, not going to cause much damage to it, some even remove the guard on the top to save some weight for more flight time.
To turn off IS, set the aspect ratio to 4:3. I second the opinion on the bumpers. It flies pretty bad as is. There is a video of a guy repeatedly smashing his and couldn't totally destroy it.
So disappointed that dji chose to remove the fpv gimbal mode when using non fpv controller. Seems like they are trying to force users to spend $600 or more to fly a $200 drone fpv. Also the whole thing of making the U.S. wait on release, and now it is appearing a lot of dealers are not going to be able to ship on the release date due to not having them in stock. I ordered one from Canada last week to avoid this possibility.
The did NOT "remove" FPV mode. The only other drones DJI makes with 1 axis gimbals are the FPV, Avata and Avata 2. None of which offer "FPV, OR "FOLLOW" gimbal modes. Like Neo, the others I mentioned offer Rock Steady and Horizon Steady. All DJI needs to do is offer a way to turn those "crop and stabilize" tools in some flight modes. Because it doesnt have a 3 (or 4 with Mini 3 Mini 4/Pro) axis gimbal, there is no "follow" mechanical stabilization. These 1 axis gimbal drones stabilize similar to Osmo Action Cameras, by cropping and stabilizing the image electronically.
By the red indents on on your thumbs, I would say you were holding on for dear life as the Neo took you for a ride. ! :D I bought the fly more combo with remote. I would love to try it with the goggles but they are not cheap in Canada. I like the bumper pads you have. I think these may be key. My son crashed ours already and took a chunk out of the plastic rear right propeller mount. Still flies fine but bumper Mounts like yours may have saved it. That said, Mine loses satellite signal and controller signal like no other DJI drone I have ever flied. You have to be careful with the Neo. It sometimes has a mind of its own. In low light or flying over dark surfaces it can go totally bonkers. Everything about it just seems to go nuts in low light or grey days. The camera quality really seems to not like low light either. Fun little bugger though. Great for kids and new drone pilots who don't want to spend a fortune and are interested in trying the hobby out!
Such a pity it won't work with the RC-N1 controller i use for my Mini 2 and Mini 2SE. Not prepared or can i justify buying the Neo and another controller. Impressed with you're video never the less. 👍

That signal attenuation at the beginning was odd. But it eventually resolved up to 50 Mbps.
It was freaky, the beginning section of video was not recorded either
May have had some sort of interference and just changes frequency.
Great flight. You don’t really need those bumpers, dude.
I think the original prop protection better and look lighter than the one you using
I may have to agree - lighter is better

@@gregb1599 Yep.... it's built tough out of the box!
@@gregb1599 One reviewer shut it off at 300 feet. On grass and again on concrete. Concrete did mark it up, but it still flew.

This is super helpful thank you! Just ordered mine and can’t wait!
Wrong link for the case... Can you update that ?

Hi where did you buy the propeller guard of your dji neo
Etsy - Original DoBo Store

Do you feel like the video is choppier than the avata? Beautiful scenery

Never seen one advertised here in the UK with these prop guards fitted
How hot is it in the desert when you where flying? I got the same one dji neo. I like it!
Great video. Love my Neo
its a fun little affordable MINI AVATA 2

I bought the dji neo fly more combo for training in fpv mode cause i have the avata 2.

I like place❤❤❤❤
You should always take off and fly into wind so you don't have a problem coming into wind to get it back...common sense really
@@vince-n life isn’t always in the direction of least resistance. Thanks

Yes, it’s a uphill battle
Take those bumpers off. It looks ridiculous.

Its going to help a lot of new pilots to learn to fly FPV. As far as anything else, its just a fun toy
