Not sure what happened to the music between 0:14:30 and 0:14:46 - don't adjust your volume, it's me, not you ;-)
Why are we all the same and talk to our Neo like it's a dog, lol
Honestly, it behaves like my labrador 😂
LOL I take mine for regular walks with a DJI mic on and have a chat with it. It’s always funny watching the videos later. Mines called Sting and it’s a good companion…10 minutes at a time 😁
Human nature 😂
Nice Test - got the Neo myself, as a little plaything when my avata 2 batteries are recharging. When going to fly FPV now I spot the location with the neo and then rip the avata 2 :D
bought the drone as single, and added 2 batteries and the charger, as I already have the Mini 4 Pro with RC-2 and the Avata 2 with Goggles, Motion RC3 and FPV RC3, so I did not need the RC-N3.
Your "sinking" was beacause in autonomous flight it checks the ground with the tiny sensors in the bottom. The water was very calm and mirrorlike in your first try, so the sensors could not get a good reading for distance (DJI even states, that you should avoid flying it over water). In your second flight attemt the water surface was way rougher, so the sensors could get a better reading.
when using a Controller (RC-N2, RC-2 or the RC-N3 from the fly more combo) you can get more distance even in the Tracking-Modes, just like your Mavic (but not as good of a quality :D).
I set the sharpness to -2 in the Goggles for way better looking footage. When fixing the the shutterspeed and white balance, you can get quite usable footage out of it - unfortunately that is not possible in the autonomous modes or when controlling the drone via smartphone right now.
It's really handy - just did a quick roof inspection with this without breaking out the big guns. Last time I took Matrice 30 out to do the same thing I've scared the living dead out of my neighbours!
100% there with you with the water - I've had the first Mavic doing automatic landing in Tarifa, Spain, when filming my mates surfing in glassy conditions - way too far to go and grab it and it wasn't reacting to controls either... one of the many that got whacked in the line of duty with me...
Good shout on the googles / controller, my replacement RC3 is coming in tomorrow so I'll give it a shot. There are some epic applications for DJI Neo - this little drone can be really handy - I'm getting less anxiety when my kids are flying it about rather than Avata 2 😂
@@JakeOski There are the first ND Filters for the Neo on the Market as well. I will get a set in the coming days. I am very interested how the image handles in automatic mode, when "tricking" the neo to fix the exposure. Hopefully it will change the shutter speed and not the ISO, so even in Auto Mode you get better footage :D
I have the exact same set up. Having both means I have 6 batteries and 2 charge docks. Lotsa flying time 😊
I think the Neo footage looks more pleasant than the Mavic.
Ya I agree... the NEO video just seems brighter and vivid.
That might be my rushed colour grading 😂
@@JakeOski Ah ok.. Just for info, I think my NEO color is set to 5500, noise is O, and sharpness to -1 or -2
I must admit I thought that too - for easy straight out of camera footage that little Neo is insanely good.
Awesome video thanks for this
Glad you liked it!
Most likely the Mavic has a nd fileter or some sort of coating on the lenscover. Did you try the Neo with ND filter ND4 for example? I would think like that it can produce more cinematic images.
It does, it was mega bright that day. I don't have filters for Neo yet but I will next week - I'll put up a video on this for sure.
@@JakeOski Thanks. I've ordered my Neo and ordered ND filters straight away. I know it's not real 4K but maybe it can produce nice images for social media with a filter. It's a bummer however that the camerasettings are not available for Pro mode without the controller on a phone, only auto iso, auto exposure which sucks.
@@iammz81I agree! I think they've just made everything auto in standalone mode for every-day Neo users. I'm hoping DJI will change that in the future updates though. The whole idea of DJI Neo to me is that I don't have to carry my RC and goggles with me. Otherwise I'd just take either the Avata or Mavic since they're about the same weight...
@@JakeOski Exactly... what is the purpose of haveing camera settings, when you cannot use it? And not only noobs will buy this, but not everyone wants to have all the other accessories.
@@iammz81 I'm sure they'll add this down the line, they always keep updating their drones. Otherwise, after adding all the accessories, something like DJI Mini Pro 4 (or 3) makes more sense if someone's after an under 250g drone - that will produce a far superior footage anyway.
O meu nomeei de fungos, ( penetra em qual quer lugar )
Mais na água sem chance 😅
Can you lowering the sharpness on the DJI Neo?
I think it should look better in that way
Currently not, the camera settings are really limited but I'm sure this will come in the future updates.
Can only be done with the controller and phone together.
@@gregb1599 I did this right away... video is much after a video tune. (lowering sharpness and noise reduction)
@MicheIIePucca Apparently, it only lowers while using the controller. Once back, using your phone or drone, only the settings are saved in the controller.
4k video is straight up thrash in 2024, best just to step down to 1080p at 60. At least you won't get the jittery video from 4k 30
Dji in the introduction video showed that it can fly over water with the person showing flying it autonomously over water standing in boat/kayak and then when they released the drone they specifically mentioned don't fly over water. LOL DJI just don't show that in the video which is main video for your new drone.
Many TH-camrs do, but they know to use the controller and phone combo, the over the water is just not showing them using the controller in the marketing video
@@gregb1599 but in the marketing video it was shown as if he is flying it autonomous which is not right by DJI it is false marketing In my opinion. He stands up ,drone on hand and it flies. EXACTLY LIKE AUTONOMOUS MODE. There is definitely some of the buyers thought of buying this drone because while doing water sports it is much much easier to have a drone which does everything itself and also be safe while doing so, but again when they bought it is written in manual not to fly over water atleast not without controller etc etc.
And yes agree, not showing controller is the mistake by DJI, hahaha they could have added anything to that 5-7 secs shot but they chose it, and later said ohhh you can't do it. Sorry. But again the drone itself is great and this is small problem it's just that they should have made it clear initially.
Totally, I've lost loads of drones in the past - for many different reasons (both when working and when flying for fun). To be fair, I've should've set it to "far" and "high" instead of "medium". Plus, as I never do, I've never really read the manual. They've sorted that autolanding over water issue in Mavics so hopefully there'll be some kind of firmware update in the future to DJI Neo too. For any water shots I'd still use the Mavic as it's just much better quality and can withstand strong-ish gusts. On the other hand, I'd never set Mavic to follow in the woods.
subbed 👍🏼 good to know that it will survive a quick water dip.. 😅
Haha please don't try this at home ;)
@@JakeOski i do triathlon.. i don't think Neo can follow me while i swim.. so nope.. won't even try it.. 🤣
Really unbelieveable drone after fall into water this drone still okay.. 😅
Mate, 100% this, shame I didn't had a camera on the nose of my board to record the look on my face when I've heard propellers stop 🤦🏻♂️ All good though! The saving grace was the fresh water, if that would be sea it wouldn't come back on for sure.
That’s it? Just a couple of hours drying in the sun after a dunking and she was able to follow you and capture clear video? What trooper👍😄
it would be handy to have a can of compress air if the drone goes swimming. Quickly remove battery, and blow out moisture in all the holes of the drone, and let dry.
I usually have some in the van if I carry my eFoil with me, yeah it would’ve came in handy!
Enjoyable video well done. My Neo shipped today and should arrive Monday. My dog doesn't mind the drone outside and I'm hoping to get footage of her having Dobe fun when we do training. Got some great shots with the Avata 2.
Ah, good stuff! My one is scared of a lot of stuff - including my electric skateboards. Somehow, she's fine with the Onewheel... might be something in the high-pitch noise that throws her off.
Just curious on your opinion on a drone for social media (solo travelling), I like the neo for its price point and simplicity.. you’ve compared this to the mavic 2. From just before the neo’s release I was set on buying a DJI mini pro 4
Would you recommend the mini pro 4 AND a neo? just one of them? OR would you recommend a different drone altogether?
Depends on your budget as these are two totally different drones. If you're looking to add a controller and googles do DJI Neo I personally wouldn't. The DJI Mini Pro 4 is far superior in terms of range, wind resistance (still nowhere near Mavic mind) and the footage quality is miles better on the Pro. For travelling, personally, the Mini Pro 4 would be my choice. With DJI Neo being so cheap I'll have it with me for just walk around the town kinda shots though as it's so compact.
flight works great with controller over water and cliffs. Poor little Neo can't see the water or drastic uneven surfaces very well without stick input. People pointed out the warning on the manual about that and did it anyway. Sorry yours turned into a submarine so suddenly.
Things happen... I probs should read more manuals but life's too short 😂
I think the first (when its drown), you fly it to close to the water, and most of dji drone also will be problem when you fly to close to water surface....CMIW....
Yup, just went to land due to altitude and water reflections.
Great video,watching neo videos like yours i bought one,learning and enjoying,👍
Stoked it helped dude! Happy flying :)
Fantastic video! Now I’m very happy I took the leap on this one. I have the Hover Air1 & was about to purchase The Hover Air Pro due to its new capabilities of flying over water but the DJI is $289 cheaper. Can’t wait to capture some Kayaking footage. Thanks for putting together a great video!!!
what filter are you using on this video? looks great
Thanks so much! Just a conversion LUT from C-Log 3 to rec 709 from Matti Happoja and then my own colour correction.
Thanks for this video. Very helpfull
Glad it was helpful! 🤙🏻
Why did it go into the water
What happened
I've had it on Medium Follow, probs Far and High would be better. Also, the sensors picked up that glassy-calm water as a signal to land. Same thing as with early DJI Mavic drones... It's in the manual to avoid flying over the water without controller... Oh well 😂 It's alive and well!
what camera do you use for youtube?
Mainly Canon R8 currently, my R6 bit the dust a while back, I wanted to replace it but the R8 kinda does everything and weighs less. I'm missing IBIS a bit, however on wide focal lengths it was always jittery so R8 + 24-70 f2.8 IS + digital stabilisation does the job for all walking stuff (have a look at my review of Shokz Openrun Pro 2, all forest sequence of walking and running was recored with that setup)
No saltwater lucky
Yeah 100% this :)
DJI neo is secretly waterproof
Haha yeah gotta try it following me when diving next 😂
@@JakeOski no just kidding 😀
NICE HAPPY FLYING❤❤❤
Nice. I tested also mine and on follow it looses me over 18 KM/H on direction track... I think it is not able to track when I run fast but on follow it is able to do quite good.
Haha yeah they weren't really designed for how far we'll push them 😂 I was really surprised it kept up with me on the Exway Atlas Pro skateboard, maybe because there was no wind? Also, do a software update if you haven't already, they've improved tracking a little bit. Keen to see what future updates will do!
It would be great if they could figure out some way to make it less NOISY !
My red propellers on Mavic 2 are much quieter so hopefully some third party will release some for Neo too!
When will they make a DJI Neo with Obstacle Avoidance 😢
I'll Wait until they Make it more Bullet Proof 😊
Don't think they will bud, at least not at this price point.
Good neo good neo!
Totally as obedient (and confused) as my Lab 😂
Hi, your video was a great help, but I still wanted to ask you a question. I'm a kitesurfing instructor like you and I was thinking of getting the drone in question to film myself while sailing in the sea. Do you think it risks falling into the water like what happened in the video? What parameters did you change the second time to make it fly well on the water? If I don't buy the DJI Neo, what cheap drone do you think I can buy that has the follow me function so that I can be filmed independently without a pilot? Thank you very much in advance.
I haven’t found a solid solution for this yet. With kite lines being the main danger as they’re not being picked up by any sensors but also because it’s a bit of unpredictable sport.
In theory Skydio should fit the bill but I’m not 100%. You can always set the Mavic 2 pro or 3 (they’ve got MUCH better wind resistance than Neo/Mini) at say 30m (if folk aren’t boosting) and get it to follow you highlighting your kite.
Personally, I always ask someone to film and we just take turns, it’s much safer that way:)
I love mine. So simple. Flying more than ever before. Thanks for your video. Nice scenes and action.
Thanks, much appreciated!
I said this on a couple other video's already but, be very aware with water! My Neo decided to land when i executed a dronie from the side over water expecting for the Neo to return to me after 10 meters.
Unfortunatly after a couple meters in my Neo decided to land....in the water. Before i knew it my Neo was swimming on the bottom of the lake. So watch out with quickshots on water! DJI send me a new one with a instruction to not fly the Neo lower then 10 meter above water. So the quickshots from the hand are a no go when you on water.
Apparently, it should not be used over water without the controller and phone, as then it uses the more conventional DJI app settings, including RTH
I love learning things the hard way too 😂
DJI replaced it for free? With or without Care Refresh? Same thing happened to me just now and I am in the process of fixing/replacing. Can you share how you went about it?
@@Roypeleg7 I did not had Care Refresh at that point, i do now tho 😉 What i did was i reported a Flyaway with a screenrecording of the flightrecord. On the flightrecord you can clearly seeing it landing on water. Also explain exactly what happend. Also make sure to upload your flightrecord into the cloud so that DJI can analyze it. They looked into it and told me that i should not fly it over water under 10 meters. So they called it a non-manufacturing error and therefore this case was not eligible for a free replacement.
But because i own more DJI products they offered me a free replacement for it, so i am very lucky 😅 Maybe also because it happend in releaseweek.
Good luck with it man 🤞🏽
@@SkydiveToma thank you!
how is the wind resistance for this?
Pretty tiny, I wouldn't fly DJI Neo in anything over 15 knots.
NEO would literally dive into the water without hesitation. So try not to use it near any water.😢
HEY I HAVE A QUESTION... IF SUPPOSE DRONE RANGE IS 80 METERS AND WE ARE ON MOUNTAIN AND WANT TO SHOOT THE VALLEY ... SO THE DRONE CALCULATES HEIGHT FROM GROUND LEVEL OR FROM THE POINT WHERE IT TOOK A TAKE OFF ?
As in distance to you? It's just a distance regardless of direction of travel, horizontal or vertical.
@@JakeOski ohhh okay I understood… I thought it is the height from the sea level .
@@rising_beast_piyush ah, nah, any larger hill would be out of the question then :)
With a small back pack it's perfect
For sure! When you're hiking every gram counts, I think my bag of gummy bears (can't walk, run cycle without!) weighs about the same as DJI Neo!
@@JakeOski also can charge up from a powerbank
@@dubinatub1 totally
The instructions do say not to fly it over a shiny surface unless it on a controller.
Yeah I probably should've read a manual once in a while 😂 All good though, Neo is a survivor 💪🏻
Neo looked better to me following the bike
Only Neo was on the bike ride, the back camera was GoPro 13 - hence the artefacts in low light. I was actually a bit surprised that Neo did a better job at it...
Why did you Land in the Water what Happened
Sensors picked up on glossy water and the drone decided it's landing time. Had the same with first Mavic - sadly that one was beyond recovering.
Read the manual !! Damm
Life's too short for that 😂
