This video was done on stock rates which will affect the speed of a roll. Flat out in the top 20 % of the battery will be the best performance much after that it’s sorta mushy.
Hi there, we are sorry to hear about what happened with the aircraft. If your aircraft has been involved in a collision, we highly recommend submitting an online repair request through our official website. This will allow our certified technicians to inspect the aircraft fully. Please rest assured that this will be taken care of and handled accordingly.
@@DJISupportGlobal Oh you can see in the video that the Neo took all the crashes like a champ, it didn't break. Although we all recommend that you guys add way more power and a fpv mode for the Neo 2 :)
@@Enplok We appreciate the feedback and glad that all is good. We like to be attentive to our customers. We hope for your kind understanding. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you and have a good weekend!
The good thing is that for the individual who’s never owned a drone before, this would be a cost effective, and user friendly drone for them to use. Great video Ken.👍🏾
For those curious, DJIs ACTUAL “freestyle” drone the Avata 2 (by itself, just the drone and the battery) is currently $489, so let’s just say $500 (tax,etc) The ORIGINAL Avata (again, just drone + battery) is currently $519 Point being, for only $200, they did the absolute best they could, to give a good bargain.
I think they could have done better for an FPV drone, but weren't trying for that, they were making a sort of "everything" drone, and it isn't really marketed as an FPV drone or freestyle drone.
Well, you know, a first drone for someone,this would be a blast! If they like flying FPV they can always upgrade to an Avata later on! Great video Ken. This should answer a bunch of questions. Thanks for the video!
We want the mini avata 2! Capable with the goggles, controller 2 and the goggles, controller 3. I know you have it DJI, so stop holding out and making us wait. Yes I know you are that good.
I’m honestly surprised the allow full manual 😂 maybe they will remove the feature😂 I hope they will improve as much as the drone capabilities can allow
I love the video and even though you can’t do great acrobatic moves like with other higher level spec FPV drones, I think the Neo is great for beginners to practice the hell out of it and perfecting their flying skills then they’ll be ready to choose from a plethora of FPV drones that kickass, so I think that alone to get and build the confidence of being a better pilot is worth the price point. Thanks for always being straight and honest bro!👍🏾👍🏾
@@losers4life789 the Neo totally can do those things, there are plenty of other videos out there of it doing some pretty neat trick for a commercial drone and the price
Just pre ordered one from B&H. Bought the RCN3 controller at a deal from someone who bought a Flymore combo in Canada and didn't need the controller. I so hope they make this compatible with at least Integra goggles at some point in the future. I have all kinds of fpv drones to do serious stuff with, just want this one for casual flights and it's compactness. Also being able to do some flying with just the phone control if wanted. For the type flying you are doing, if you haven't tried it, the motion controller excels.
I think when the drone is out for a few months people would do motor mods like u could do on the first avata and apparently that would make it have more power
Hey Ken good video a great start off drone that can do a few things. And cover all age groups starting off. God to see you back there at your old gold course test fpv drones. The owner didn't do a whole lot with the place since the last time. Did you ever get a chance to do the group flying there like mention in one of your videos?. hope all is well
Hi ! Real question that I have difficulty understanding since I have the Neo, they indicate 18 minutes of maximum autonomy but why even with a 100% charged battery, the screen never indicates more than 8 minutes of autonomy remaining?
there must be something wrong with your neo cause there's plenty of video's on here with people freestyling it... one even has a go pro... props are kind of flimsy though, cause ive crashed mine twice and broke a prop each time... now i need to order more before i try manual again...
Hi…I’m from India…going to buy 1st drone and I’m not pro….my use is just need for capturing the moments during vacation and family trips…which one would you suggest between dji mini 3 and dji neo? And one more…how is the video clarity compared between neo and mini 3???…..or shall I buy dji mini 2 se… and one more question does mobile control of dji neo is better option for capturing those family trip moments?
While it cant flip, roll or dive for its life im pleasantly surprised how well it flies in Manual if you treat it like a a whoop. I must have crashed it 20+ times today into the trees and mud and it survived like a champ. 100% on your comment in its weight preventing damage and the wind, its just lacking power when you need it to pull out of anything last minute. BUT you can push it once you get used to how it behaves around things and the battery life compared to a whoop is insane. It does feel like DJI is manipulating the power to the motors continually as its hard to get used to what power there is as its not always there when you think it should be , But that being said, This may be the best manual mode learning drone out there if you keep away from the freestyle moves.
I know I am late to the game but really could use your help. Have the EVO 1 and despite my best efforts can't figure out why the controller doesn't read the SD or show the camera (The SD is the one that came with the EVO, updated manually and it worked great. Now took it out and am having this problem. Have read it could be a software issue or a hardware one. As you know there isn't any Autel help. Thinking a factory reset but can't find how to do that either. Any honest help would be greatly appreciated. God Bless:)
@8:00 so, it basically crashed in the toilet section of the tunnel 😂 That Rocksteady is weird, it has a zoom like gyroflow and it seems to be a lot of zoom.
I’m confused. Are you sure this thing was in full acro mode? It looks like the in between mode that the DJI fpv drone has. I’ve seen other videos on yt that are wayyyy more responsive.
I wish more people would check out JOPRO's videos. Night and day from folks expecting this to work like their DIY 5in monsters. Dad always said "a poor craftsman blames his tools"
THE NEO will stand in for DJI "Virtual Flight" Simulator and Liftoff. At 135 grams, it wont have much mass behind it to destroy itself. If they ever ship the damn thing!
Dude, I love you, but I just came across another TH-camr and he did the same video you did but he looks like a pro compared to you, his name is JOPRO, you should watch it. You should see what he did with this little drone. I cannot believe.

no, not for fpv, but for just a camera drone, i agree
@Inspirewithdrones3342 the avata 2 fly more is now marked down as well, so it's not too far apart if you wanted something a little bit more powerful
@@Inspirewithdrones3342 not worth to fly fpv
Goggles 3 are very expensive
They should drop budget goggles
@@borderlessniko oh wow, didn’t know that! Makes a lot of sense too
I think it will fly better if you remove the top and bottom prop guards-they seem easy to remove for FPV flying.

most videos i've seen, they fly it without the propguards. it's an extra weight and takes a toll on power. try it without those
@@stephanos2758 probably not a good idea if one is crashing it all the time 🤣
It clearly passed the Dobo Branch Test. I'm getting one now.
Jajajaja
@@OriginaldoBo dude it can rip a little bit. Already doing self powerloops and also a caged ladder dive 🤯
You got me thinking about this one Ken . . .
We want the mini avata 2! Capable with the goggles, controller 2 and the goggles, controller 3. I know you have it DJI, so stop holding out and making us wait. Yes I know you are that good.
While flying with my phone I lose signal. Can I regain control of the drone by using my remote control while the drone is still flying?
5yem two hands floating have got me howling 😂😂
Reminds me of a 80s fantasy movie
I'm just grateful you can manual mode it at all. Can't wait to get mine.
I’m honestly surprised the allow full manual 😂 maybe they will remove the feature😂 I hope they will improve as much as the drone capabilities can allow
@@cipri198zero what's the point of your comment?
Thanks, I enjoyed your video. Can one use the FV3 controller without the goggles as well?
No the controller connects to the goggles and the goggles connect to the drone
Cant figure out how to connect neo controller 3 and goggles 3 all together 😢 any tips? I don't have motion controller.
I love the video and even though you can’t do great acrobatic moves like with other higher level spec FPV drones, I think the Neo is great for beginners to practice the hell out of it and perfecting their flying skills then they’ll be ready to choose from a plethora of FPV drones that kickass, so I think that alone to get and build the confidence of being a better pilot is worth the price point.

Would it fly better without that mesh guard? Make it more like the Avata 2. Might get better air flow
@@MrYoungspeeder yes it does
and you call that "freestyle" ?
@@grognatou lol
I mean he tried 😂 if you can’t Roll or dive freestyle is pretty much impossible.
@@losers4life789 the Neo totally can do those things, there are plenty of other videos out there of it doing some pretty neat trick for a commercial drone and the price
yeah its freestyle for a dji neo for sure
@@marcofava Can this actually do acro? Is it a jailbreak of some sort?
Can’t wait for technology to allow a professional quality camera to fly on something this size. Nice flying, amigo.
When we get there it will be amazing

what is the rate your using?
Thank you for the video! Does NEO have beeping that you can start remotely so you can find the crashed drone easily?
Yes
does Dji neo recognize Betaflight?
Do you think they’ll make it compatible with dji FPV controller 2 and goggles integra like they did with Avata 2 after a while?
Im hoping too!
It definitely doesn’t like to roll! Amazed it didn’t crash there!Great video Ken! Thanks for sharing!
I was wondering about the wind. seems like we all kind of thought about the power. Still Looks like fun. Nice Video
Is it in full manual with altitude hold off?
why you cut the crash footage out?
I think when the drone is out for a few months people would do motor mods like u could do on the first avata and apparently that would make it have more power
Motor won’t change the power that’s going to come from the battery voltage which this lacks
@@OriginaldoBowill make a difference Tho have you seen the original avata when you change the motors??
Does the neo have turtle mode?

All other things considered, Ken, I am glad that you started out by starting out.
Can use RC-N3 controller for FPV mode?
Sadly not
Low key wanna buy one just to take the prop guards of and fix to rates to see if i can make a decent fpv drone
I noticed you had M Mode Attitude limit checked ON in the settings. Would that have interfered with your roll?
We turned it off before flying , that screen grab is from a settings video we’re doing. Again listen to what’s being said not assume
Can you try this again but you need to turn off the M mode limit in the rates page. you didn't have full manual mode on
There was no limit on for Christ sake the screen recording was done prior said this multiple fucking times
@@OriginaldoBo okay ya big baby I'll take back my like and follow. Grow tf up
@@OriginaldoBo I wasted my time and rewatched and you never mentioned the m attitude limit. Maybe learn your gear before trying to teach🤦♂️

At least you aren't a "well rounded" pilot like the rest of us & were able to squeeze into tight spots to recover it.
Can you fly like this with the rc-n3 controller?
Sorta not really
If u removed the plastic duct covers on top, shouldn’t it get a little more performance?
And it can't do a loop or roll?
Seems like the camera tilt was too high for that speed trying to get in that tunnel. Can the camera angle be changed?
Yea I adjusted it to 10 degrees
This power is kind of enough for my needs, so far…
Cảm ơn bạn ❤😊
Hello, can this acro mode be used if you only use the RC FPV 3 remote controller and don't use Google 3?
@@namakujones2708 No, you need the Googles.
Are the goggles mandatory for Manual Mode flying? Or is there any way to use the Fpv controller 3 with a phone as an ‘fpv’ display.
@@square8210 you will need their pfv controller, goggles not required.
@@codec-404 Thanks! But will you be able to bind your phone anyway to get a view of the live feed?
@square8210 yeah, you should be able to without goggles.
Is neo support goggles 2 n fpv rc 2...?
In the rates, you still hat atti restrictions on. Turn that off abd it will become way more agile
I seen someone doing pretty decent acro with this an it looked like great fun, for sure its not build for true acro but still the features are great
@@cipri198zero I know, but OriginaldoBo forget to turn the Option off, that the Drone will restrict fast Rolls and Spins :D
Turned Atti off, that recording is from a settings video we’re doing. Atti is the first thing I typically turn off for manual

wonder if we could hack some higher KV motors on that thing.
Ken, I hope you disinfected the Neo when you got home. 😃. I looks like a good backyard drone for learning to fly FPV controls.
Ya know, watching this made me think this might be a great drone for people to learn FPV with. Probably crash all day long and not hurt it.
Can you do a range test?
With its low wind rating, i didn’t expect much in acro mode
I've seen a few other freestyle Neo flights that seems a lot better than this one. Maybe the pilot and not the drone?
No issue with the pilot can fly perfectly fine
Typical flight time?
About 13 ish minutes
I have the RC-N3, don't think I can perform a DIVE with that remote...
Can you mount a naked Gopro on it
No
@8:00 so, it basically crashed in the toilet section of the tunnel 😂
That Rocksteady is weird, it has a zoom like gyroflow and it seems to be a lot of zoom.
Awesome flying.
So those were ~your~ footprints tracking through my house.
Thank you
no accro mode ?
It’s in acro it just can’t handle flips and rolls watch the damn video man
I’m confused. Are you sure this thing was in full acro mode? It looks like the in between mode that the DJI fpv drone has. I’ve seen other videos on yt that are wayyyy more responsive.
It was told by dji, that this drone doesn't do "real" acro. Godd for beginners to practice throttle control and basic flying
And then there's JOPRO flipping his one around like it's made for freestyle exclusively.
This had no power, at 100% you aren’t ripping on it. Period

I already saw a guy flying the Neo on Manual like it's an FPV drone. He did change the rates though, so I think you just did it wrong man...
Rates need to be changed going to test no prop guards and faster rates
it’s a gap machine 🎉
I cannot see any wind there
It was blowing about 10-15 we had a storm rolling in. That’s enough to shift this little thing around
3:00 show crashes too thats a huge part
Doesn’t record the crashes if impact is detected only seconds before are recorded
