DJI NEO FOLLOW ME
DJI Neo has arrived to take over the HoverAir X1 crown or has it?
I take the DJI NEO around a cross country mountain & gravel bike track and see how far the DJI NEO can follow me! The HoverAir X1 could never make it around this course but will the Neo?
I use the HoverAir X1 for my cycling video's and since day one praised the tracking but hated the video quality. DJI has finally released a HoverAir competitor the DJI NEO and from the get go it mostly ticks all the boxes for me in regard to video quality, some work on software for the tracking needs to be done IMO by DJI but for the most part here is a video of the DJI Neo in action tracking me around a tricky wooded mountain bike cross country course.
As in my previous video's comment section - I have set the DJI NEO to -0.2 EV and -2 Sharpness - In my editor I have also tweaked the colours slightly to bring up the contrast a little.

It's suitable for the average user, and for the price, you really can't ask for more.
Neo
Yep, I called it out back then - Fast forward to Sep 2024 and hello DJI Neo.
It s not the mini pro 4 it’s only 200 bucks it’s for beginners not pros
its not terrible. I wonder, can the audio quality be improved with a better mic? I didn't expect a whole lot with this drone for 200 dollars, so its actually a bit better than my expectations
Suspect it can be with the DJI Mic 2 or any other half decent mic for that matter.
Can you please tell me how can I make slow-mo videos from the drone? Thank you!
For slow motion you'd need to use the video editor to control the playback speed.
Scary when it loses control watch this video: Dji Neo CRASH Drone TOTALLY CRAZY NO CLICKBAIT
You get my subscription just for this one video. I wonder if you tried again - if so, I'll be watching!
Thanks, I was going again this past August but had some issues- will be doing it again that’s for sure.
Thanks for sharing buddy.
No problem 👍
That was a lot of fun. Impressive tracking and the video quality from it was great. Keep riding the Neo wave for now. I get mine Thursday.
Glad you enjoyed it!
wow! i'm buying..
For 200 U$ who can do better??? For this price is really impressive
That footage from the neo looks like it was recorded on a samsung Galaxy s3. Thank you, but no thanks.
😮😮😮😮
i seen a few slo mo shots. is it 1080p 60 frames or 2.7k 60 frames?. if not..den 4k 30 frames..you just slowed it down a tad bit?
Exactly the footage I've been looking for!! Thank you! I'm in the US and have to wait another month, so thanks for holding me over, bud.
Glad I could help!
US has just banned DJI drones. You are not going to get it.
Thank you for great video! If I wanted to use a Neo to film snowboarding with the quickshot follow mode on, and the drone loses track of me mid-ride, only for me to realize it when it's already tens of meters uphill, how could I regain control? Would it be possible to do so with a phone or controller without having to hike back up the slope?
Just picked a neo up and my first drone. Great video. What did you use to edit. Thanks
Might be worth purchasing
obviously the lighting conditions were difficult but overall I think using footage from the Neo along side other footage is going to be a tough sell. I think this is a good entry point drone and hopefully they will make some significant image quality improvements in future versions. It seems maybe they were rushing this to market but it still has a market. I do think it's a hard sell for anyone that has been using any other DJI camera or drone.
I'm not so sure, the right warm sunny day and think it will look pretty good - still going over the DJI Promo videos for any thing without excellent lighting ... still looking
nice video! impressive neo performance...
Thanks!
I've watched dozens of tests and unboxings of this DJI Neo, almost everyone emphasized that it's a selfie drone. To this day I haven't seen a tester upload any selfie photos from this drone. add some photos to download.
DJI lists this : DJI Neo is a vlogging tool ideal for capturing everyday life, leisure activities, family moments, and pets.
How FAST could it go? I mean, could it follow you on a downhill trail?
Not currently fast enough in tracking mode - dare say either FPV or Remote chasing someone else might be able to keep up
Great video… wow you need to review more drones 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Problem is I only video what I've bought myself :)
That high pitched buzz is a killer but to be expected with such tiny props.
How fast will this go? If I was riding my bike at full blast, would it keep up?
not that fast at the moment in tracking mode - www.dji.com/uk/neo/specs
@@englishcyclist Hey, thanks for replying and the video! Definitely interested in something like this.
Neo footage bit jerky as 30fps too low for drone and what you need to do is swap neo camera with pocket 3 camera and should be fine then. 😀 But for the price I'll buy good enough just wish it was a tad quieter or maybe a lower pitch. Still quick to whip out and use and will save vloggers the bother of placing gopro etc on stand, for them walking away or to shots and then having to go back for camera again and DJI stability and features are great and at the price of average dinner for 3 in resturant or one of my wifes visits to sainsbury for that matter with not much to show for the price these days.
As with every new DJI drone I’m sure that DJI will be providing an update in the coming weeks for camera settings.
Where were you cycling..which trails
Giant Lincoln Pickworth Plot XC
@@englishcyclist do you mean near doddington hall
yes that's the one.
@englishcyclist will give it ago..been twice & ended up having ££breakfast but didn't see trail.. thankyou Just gonna watch Rutland video.. now subscribed
You definitely have to change the sharpness to -2 from the dji controller for much better video quality.
Yes, you are right and it was for the controller shots.
Would the neo work well in tracking a rock climber up a cliff face?
possibly with active track - voice controls may come into play also.
Not bad at all for that price I can’t afford a mavic or a avata but I like my hiking and travelling sometime I wish I could see from a bird view, this is perfect for people with low budget
very true
Great video, appreciate the effort. I actually booked the X1 Pro via indigogo and refunded when I saw the Neo. Yes, diff image quality, speed but it's less than1/3 of the price, 1st timer like me can't say no😅. For high speed sharp bend downhill riding, I'll be using my insta X4, not confident to fly the X1 Pro following me, also don't want to endanger other road users. I'll be happy using the Neo for running, hiking and leisure ride with family. Only ships end of Sept in Malaysia though.
The DJI NEO is a great starter drone, has pretty much all methods of control if you want to invest in upgrading like the remote or even FPV goggles - once you've got confidence in using them you can update if you want to or not! X1 Pro looks good but the price is a big factor. Enjoy the Neo !
Awesome, thanks for testing this. Gonna buy me a little Neo. :-)
Have fun!
I think as the first drone a great choice wanted to buy Dj Mini 4 pro is out Nео And I understand that it is better to take it to begin with hem )
Jackson Larry Lopez Larry Garcia Kenneth
love it can you do also some sunset shots , to see how it handles those colors
It's seems very good. Muti-functional for intro grade user. I love it can change to FPV mode.
Yes I agree
love the video, with footage we want to see not from other camera , can you also do a video if color grading is possible on this footage
8bit video can only go so far - my latest DJI NEO video has EV -0.2 and Sharpness turned down - th-cam.com/video/aRrbNe02oWU/w-d-xo.html
@@englishcyclist saw the other video too, looks much better
nice one. uploaded a little neo bike vid today myself, dare I say tighter and more bushy! It worked amazingly. th-cam.com/video/_k9UY1k4Mhg/w-d-xo.html
Hi Tom, great footage, looks like a nice but of kit actually, am very tempted. Out of interest, what course were you riding here?
Course is Pickworth Plot - hosted by Giant Lincoln, they have a Facebook page and I also have some videos on my channel on it too - this is one from a few weeks back - th-cam.com/video/VbzrLPvkHwQ/w-d-xo.html Facebook page is : facebook.com/groups/644063189886503/about?locale=en_GB
@@englishcyclist Thanks mate
Pretty good for a 200 dollar drone
Certainly is good value
Look at what you have done! Now the Chinese will know exactly how many trees there are in England!
that is about all of them though :)
@@englishcyclist Want more views? Try this. Take a piece of cardboard or something and see if it will follow a drawing of a person. As simple a drawing as possible. Of course it must have a face or it won't launch. But how much of a face? If the drawing is too small it will probably fly too close! You can try a doll too or body alive or dead. In that last case the police will also start to follow. Ask them for the footage. Hence 'bodycam'. The reason I ask is because you can't see me on my recumbent trike with solar panel roof. And it will not follow a vehicle. Someone tried already. I would buy the Neo if it could follow 'invisible me'. And did you order the controller? It would be interesting to see how difficult it is to fly the Neo manually. In open terrain. Shame there still are no split controllers for left/right on your handle bars. Operating a touchscreen is impossible when riding a bike. I can't even see it with a double pair of reading glasses. Hopefully someone is going to build a third party app like Litchi, Maven, Dronelink that will add follow-me as well. By which I mean GPS follow-me instead of optical tracking. Because then you can put the drone much higher up and further away for those landscape shots with you somewhere in it. To be honest the Neo tracking you through a forest is nice, but why not a 360 camera on a stick? Know what I mean? But if you can get those epic 'My Ass in Lycra' shots from a distance it would make the Neo a lot more National Geographic worthy.
@@englishcyclist And the striking title would be 'Can the DJI Neo follow the invisible man?' or something like that. Nobody has made such a video yet. You'll be the first.
I have some ideas, we'll see how it works out.
@@englishcyclist Maybe someone like Rishi Sunak can help you find out if the DJI Neo will also follow a fake person?
Thank you for the Video and DJI Pocket 3 and DJI Neo footages. It is the best review among all other useless reviews from the famous Influencers.
I appreciate that!
is it annoyingly loud?
If you've not used a drone it can be high pitched when very near, but a few meters away it is hardly noticiable - if using it in crowds and built up areas it will get attention.
@@englishcyclist thank you kindly, I m looking to use it outdoors.. away from people. But dont wanna scare everything around me in the woods.
Amazing little drone!
I think so too!
Do you have a download link for a portion of the footage straight out of the camera? So many comments about poor quality video, but cannot tell via TH-cam. Thanks. Great quality tracking, however, and exactly my use case.
sorry no link yet as it's a 3GB file and still processing by Google - will update later in description
@@englishcyclist Many thanks - will be great to see it. I'm on chat with DJI asking "So many reviews complaining about oversharpened video. Can change this when using the controller, but will the reduced sharpening persist when then flying autonomously?" Awaiting a sensible answer!
see description - 1 is online 1 is still processing, Not sure without a RC you can currently change the exposure or sharpness TBH not yet anyway.
Not yet possible to change sharpness through the app; you have to use the controller to access and change those settings. The camera kills this drone.
@@englishcyclist Got the impression from the DJI chat that changes to sharpness when using the controller are ignored when flying autonomously. However, I stressed that the default sharpness should be zero, not +2. They have passed this on to their engineers!
Can it fly higher whilst on Follow me mode?
I believe so, high medium and low
@@englishcyclist thanks! Super in depth review!
Thank you for the video. Impressive little drone! Yes currently they say it is a toy manly because of the video quality and the maximum speed but this “Action AI” drone category will evolve in the future and they will be everywhere like the pocket action cameras. It is so easy to operate that a kid can do it. As well I think it is perfect for people who want go into FPV.
Thanks for commenting, yes agree with you on that too.
It's to slow for biking believe me. I owned a Hover X1 which went to 26 km/h. I was considering the Neo but went for the Hover Pro. Also because it's smaller when folded. And yes I know it's more expensive.
I’ll be watching out for the pro & pro max for sure! I’m not doing the indigogo with them this time like I did with the X1 but will keep an eye out for the reviews.
@@englishcyclist With indigogo did you pay duty and VAT when it arrived? That would push the price way up.
@@DeccaUK no, I paid £225 back then and no import duty was needed! So must have got lucky
Love your style of making the little mini movies, this little drone is perfect for the ease of use and picture quality is fine, I’d say fun and usable, thanks for taking us on the ride
Thank you very much!
