@davidho2695 And yet I managed to not just break but completely destroy one prop and damage another from flying into the back of the sofa at a speed at most 1kph! How the hell can I manage that?! I believe it was a loose straind of nylon on the blanket hanging off it, but how did it get two props? Just lucky the drone comes with exactly 2 spare props lol
It has to be since it’s shit and will crash often lol I’ve been flying it FPV in full manual and it’s ok but for people that wanted to have this cool selfie drone… i feel for them. It flew away and lost control one way or another almost each time i was testing it. Not to mention the camera quality… you could just get Pavo Pico :/
@@jakubkrukowski4716 yeah I’ve had mixed results with that subject track functions - a few times it did indeed seem to just fly off randomly. Not lost it completely yet though. Maybe still a few bugs that need to be ironed out
@@ride-fly-dive this drone is a beast!!! Can’t wait for ours to arrive after they start the release on oct 8th here in us. They are already sold out on the dji store too
They should pay you for this video. Seriously. Crashing drones is obviously the #1 fear of pilots, but this video proves that it's extremely difficult to hurt this thing! What a fantastic beginner drone, I am going to get one for my daughter.
Great to hear you enjoyed this one and that it inspired some confidence. There is a second crash test one in the making at the moment so watch this space - some more interesting revelations!
Watched your videos on the neo,and then bought one,after seeing this crash test i dont think i am afraid to fly now.Thanks for a really good video,one tough little drone 😊
@@dronewilder5234amigo Saludos desde Costa Rica. Acabo de comprarlo y tu vídeo nos a dado mucha confianza de que tenemos un pequeño mata gigantes 🙋🏻♂️
Little Gladiator there took more pounding than a nail and still works. I can't believe it. In a world where everything breaks when you sneeze on it, this is like alien technology. Sold, sold, and sold. I will be getting one. Amazing video!
This is my second day with my first ever drone -- a Neo with goggles. I found your videos. Not only entertaining, but valuable for those of us scared to death to break our drone. Well done.
As a beginner drone 'pilot', this thing has given me so much confidence to jump into the hobby and not be afraid to try things. It controls so well and goes fast enough for my enjoyment, and at $200, I wouldn't lose sleep if it broke in the first year. However, after watching this, I have a feeling this thing won't die unless I crash it in water. Thanks for doing this. I'm going to fly it around my house more for some practice :D
I bought the Neo, then i wanted to play at goggles, then i bought Avata 2 set with the goggles 3, and i still find the Neo is far more suitable for indoor flying. I hit few times a wall, a floor, and its still like a new. And even if at some time it will be destroyed, then its still only 200 eur. Very good product.
Fantastic Video well done congratulations, I came here on the premise that I was hoping I get some understanding and reassurance of the protection of the robustness of the Neo drone, as I bought one and have been flying out for three weeks .... but just today it hit a tree and dropped 12 feet down onto concrete Road bang smacked firm hard.. picked it up of course.. nothing wrong with it and I was so worried it would lose some functionality charging senses et camera gimbal or lense sensitivity or tracking issues... cetera however everything was perfect so after watching your video I can now sleep tonight I know I've done no real damage to it and it was certainly falling at 12 feet of height which would've been only 10 to 15 km/hour compared to what you've done and of course the camera was protected with my fail s as it landed on its feet then bounced a little bit. Well done made my day made my year ....have a great day cheers Andrew
@@zulupenman thanks man - really interesting to hear other people’s experiences. I know the drone has certain limitations in terms of its camera quality but it’s so worth remembering what huge benifits you get from the low weight and inertia in terms of its crash resistance
Absolutely Incredible. Suitable for any child and any Novice flyer, with the reassurance that it is unlikely to suffer any serious damage during a crash. A credit to DJI. Awesome !
Thank you for this video! I crashed my DJI Neo recently because I was flying too near to a building, and suddenly it loses GPS signal and it went into ATTI mode. Within one second, it drifted and hit the building. Although the flying speed was slow, it fell down from the height of three stories building. The gimbal was slightly detached and there were scratches on the drone. I was able to push the gimbal back in and it still can fly. Was worried that the drone would not function properly after the crash. However, after watching you throwing it down the cliff, it made me felt relieved. DJI Neo rocks!!!
@@leetzeyang that’s amazing - so glad you managed to fix it. The rubber camera retainers are definitely one of the main weak points but even for those to go it’s takes quite a serious impact. Flying around tall buildings definitely carries a risk of loosing GPS. My advice is to fly slow and near the ground around the area you are looking to film, keep an eye on your GPS lock quality, then if you are confident with GPS lock you can fly higher where ground sensors won’t be able to help if GpS lock is lost 👍
@@dronewilder5234 Thanks for your advice! Moving forward I will ensure I fly the drone further away from the building before I let fly it higher. A good lesson learnt for me. Looking forward to more of your amazing contents!
Generally, I do not like this type of destructive videos as I do not see the point in purposely destroying something that some poorer person coud use. However, you have prooved that the NEO (and yes Ijust bought one) is indeed almost "indistructable" a fantastic advert for DJI and I hope they give you a new one for doing these tests. You have also got a like and I have subscribed. Well done a well presented video, thanks.
@@chriscflint thank you so much. I would like to also point out that I’m one of these people who generally looks after his drones. Even hanger rash on drones upsets me normally but these tests where set out with the purpose of creating an entertaining and informative video so the Neo I (nearly) destroyed served that purpose - even then some of the crashes where tough to witness 😂😂.
This has to be one of the funniest videos I have ever seen. I am literally crying I am laughing so hard. Just ordered this drone today. Very encouraged after watching this that I may actually not be able to damage the Neo. Thank you for the inspiration.
Yes - and even when it does get damaged it somehow keeps going. Obviously don’t expect multiple front on hits without some damage to the gimbal mounts 😂
Of course a little painful to watch but one of the most useful test videos. Thank you very much, I ordered one already and this is a good confirmation.
Well its good to know i bought a durable drone for my first drone. Thanks for the action packed smashing of the Neo. Tuff 🥊 one, sorry for your lost to the 135g Neo 🏆
Thank you for your service and sacrifice of the Neo , you video gives me more confidence if flying mine. Real time testing like this should be shown by DJI when selling, I am sure there would be more sales
@@MrGibbie2210 thank you very much. I have a feeling dji won’t be struggling for sales with this drone anyway! Just to confirm though, I’m 100% unaffiliated and unsponsored by Dji so you can be assured the opinions I give are 100% mine 🙂🙂
Very good video footage of crashing the Dji neo 😮. For the price definitely I will pick one up for my children to play with. I have to give you credit for doing this. I will never try to crash my drone to test anything is valuable.😢 . Good job. 👍 💵💵
Impact detected! Pretty heavy duty little bugger. Technically now that we know all the fail places, We could even add some foam bumpers or TPU 3D printed protectors to the weak spots. To make it really indestructible! I wonder if a screen protector would have helped with the impact? Awesome video and valuable info in it for the community! Good work and RIP poor NEO!
@@JBC_cat actually you’re right - a UV filter may have helped prevent damage to the camera for sure. Perhaps one argument for using them despite the general (debatable) perception that ND filters are pointless on this drone
Hahahaha. I’m laughing so hard while watching you. Your face looks so frustrated already but the drone still keeps on working every time. Good job DJI!! Now i wont be scared for my neo bumping on a wall at low speed.😂
What a drone seriously unbelievable and thanks to show this type of content because I recently purchased Dji neo that’s why I really like this type of stuff with great human and great voice god bless you brother 👦 go ahead and create good content in future 👍
Hey, you're so patient. For a moment I thought you were gonna jump on it. DJI should put it on the Main Page. I'm sure it'll increase sales 10- times over. 👏 I also had some concerns, I wondered if it would be damaged, I was thinking that I should print a bumper or something from the 3d printer around it. Now I can use it like crazy. Thanks for the free experience. This is very valuable
@@YasinBikmazer I’d still be careful though - there are some cases reported where it breaks a bit easier so maybe I was just quite lucky. It’s still extremely resilient though compared to other drones. A printed bumper could be a good idea if you intend to crash it a lot
@@leewixx glad it helped you make a decision. For people who already have the avata 2 and fpv system I feel it’s an excellent buy because of the low weight and fun factor added in fpv
@@dronewilder5234 well thanks to you I am very impressed by that little drone. I will be using it in weddings so I am sure it will take a lot more than a crash in case of an accident.
@@pedromoreno6836 absolutely - you’d have to be extremely unlucky for it to break from a slow paced shot at a wedding. The low weight also makes it brilliant for mitigation of risk to people.
Love your tests 👍😀 I touched a branch with my Neo when it was virtually stationary. It fell maybe 4 metres into a downward slope For some reason taht was enough to break something inside it so it rattled when I shook it. It complained about take off angle when it was level and gimbal overload. When these cleared and it took off it flew to tbe side and crashed! Not as indestructible as yours 😂
As a punster, Drone Wilder was on my short list of channel names at one time. I think we discussed the low mass design at 135 grams does more to keep Neo alive than all the armor in the world. It is more likely to bounce than follow through to destruction, right? Right! Similar results all over the place. It almost can't Fly FAST ENOUGH to kamikaze itself. But you worked SO HARD at you self assigned task. Well done. DC Rainmaker crashed it some 150 times, I think, and... could not ill it!!! I think in non-manual mode (Normal, Sport Mode) it is essentially indestructible for all intents. Very Entertaining. I do wonder of a tempered glass lens protector may have saved the lens sacrificially - or the bracket bumper bars they sell.
Absolutely - bumper bars and something like a clip of uv filter should be able to protect the gimbal although I think the impact inertia may still rip it off it’s rubber supports (this is actually one of its biggest weak points. Great to hear you found it entertaining!
Ohhh, man... I was really impressed with this! I managed to buy a DJI mini 3 with just one battery so far. Here in Brazil, the dollar is so expensive... If it's not too much to ask, could you send me one of these as a gift? If the camera wasn't damaged, it could even be this one from the test... I would be very grateful if you could. I'm slowly trying to make real estate videos here for some real estate agencies and I would really like to learn FPV and add this service as well. I always watch videos of Avata 1 and 2 (dreams) but this Neo after your video left me speechless. I haven't found any videos of Neo for real estate presentations yet, but it must be good, right? A big hug and thanks for sharing these experiences!
Near the end of your torture tests, I was beginning to feel sorry for the "ol' fellow". When it crashed into the wall at 45 km/h, I clenched my teeth, tightly closed my eyes and almost missed a heart beat.
@@KamranDodhy I think a lot of us were rooting for him at this point - I feel like an evil villain! What’s worse there is one more video to come - he’s yet to undergo another trial and this one is worse!
In your experience in the drones field... What would you consider other than the DJI Neo with a weight as the same 150gm or the dji neo is the only true winner?
@@Harikrishnanbr this really depends on what features you place the most value on. Hover air do a great alternative but it costs most and doesn’t have the same level of versatile control methods, however I believe the camera may be better and top follow speed of the pro version is higher. I would say for a GPS drone with versatile selfie, fly and FPV functions at £170, there is no real alternative I can think of. Anyone welcome to chime in here!
@@dronewilder5234thank you very much❤ you're underatted, but I think it's the time.. as youtube keeps recommending your videos, btw sorry for my bad English
@@Harikrishnanbr thanks - I’m feeling very grateful that my channel is starting to get more support and subscribers so hopefully it’ll keep growing. A couple of new fun videos coming out this week by the way!
While hovering in place, my drone fell from 50cm flat on it's belly and the gimbal got stuck to one side like yours, so not very durable in my case. FIY, the gimble gets stuck quite easily but it also moves back easily to it's original position so you can probably fix yours, it just has some rubber bands that hold it in place.
@@alex1e13 yeah it’s definitely a bit more fragile underneath and in fairness a large number of my tests where with a broken gimbal already. The drone stopped being immaculate shortly after the tree test
for as much as I've seen people trying to shit on the neo, it really seems to be crazy good for what it is. A little better camera and it would be really tough to beat. Think it would hold up to the weight of a small go pro, 360 cam or something?
@@tbeiber09 maybe a stripped down naked GoPro at a push or something that weight but tbh I would recommend against it as this drone simply doesn’t have much power. Controlled indoor flying would probably be ok but outdoors if it has to stabilised against a gust of wind, it could really struggle with extra weight. Agree with you that with a slightly better camera this would be an absolute beast but I’m happy to make do with it as it is for now. People get too hung up about camera quality when this drone has so many other unique qualities.
My Neo crashed a wall 1 time at a slow velocity 1.2 meters above the floor. Result? Gimbal tilt and now the Neo is incapable of stabilization. Such a delicate drone.
That’s very unusual at slow speed. Is it possible that the gimbal detached from the rubber retainers? Can it be reattached? Otherwise might be worth contacting dji - if lucky they may even offer a warranty cover repair
Hello friend.. I'm happy to have a literally indestructible drone.. brave!!!!! Congratulations on the video.. incredible and unique. I don't think even DJI did that.. lol. You earned a subscription and admiration.
Hey btw, pardon me changing the focus for a split second here, but my room mate and are having a discussion on if you're a stunt double for Henry Cavill ;)
@@gregb1599 not a waste at all as there are other ways you could damage it (fly away, accidentally driving over it, water damage etc). Care refresh is a brilliant investment on this one as it’s so cheap (£19 in the uk)
durability is great im curious, how about recovery after crashing? can it fly instantly? turtle mode? can we count how many crash/impact from drone log? can you show us how
@@cimcim24 so in FPV manual mode it can fly instantly after a crash provided the battery didn’t eject. In a few instances the battery powered down during impact and drone had to then be restarted but in most cases the drone could just be started again instantly. Unfortunately I can’t see turtle mode on this drone yet (unless I overlooked it somehow). It’s possible that it’s doesn’t have enough thrust to turtle mode. Crash/impact count can be done manual from the log but it would be a tedious job
Hey. Can you make a test what Neo can follow? If you put jacket back on truck, can it follow then that truck? Because it follows only people but when it knows it's that jacket a people or not.
@@dronewilder5234 Yep...that stupid when AI follows only people. But if it follows something what looks like people, then I can use it and buy it. I need small drone what can follows my BIG camping truck :)
@@TavisTallaaja presume manual control isn’t an option? Maybe if we are lucky dji will add support for vehicle tracking in future if hardware allows it. Other dji drones do have vehicle tracking
I finally broke mine yesterday. Dropped it from the sky for the 50th time in high wind. The little rubber shock absorber on the camera gimbal broke 😢 $20 usd for a replacement drone, so that's not bad.
@@SalvadorDaliLama yes thats exactly what happened eventually on mine too - I think I mentioned this near the end of the video- even then the gimbal did still work technically which is insane.
It definitely excels at wall-smashing. Wondering if it got caught in branches or hard grass that could clog the motors...? Perhaps it'll excel at grass cutting...
Well I featured it in the following video which shows it’s quite good at leaf cutting 😂😜. Chance of grass clogging motors is unlikely - they will simply stop as it’s not got much power. th-cam.com/video/4iveiz8tvXk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZAEnRZKNiHmiWHea
This is by far the best possible advertisement I've ever seen for the DJI Neo.
It's like the Nokia of Drones
Well done. That was a real torture test. The Neo was a lot more durable than everybody thought.
@@davidho2695 I was truly stunned!
@davidho2695 And yet I managed to not just break but completely destroy one prop and damage another from flying into the back of the sofa at a speed at most 1kph! How the hell can I manage that?!

@@jakubkrukowski4716 yeah I’ve had mixed results with that subject track functions - a few times it did indeed seem to just fly off randomly. Not lost it completely yet though. Maybe still a few bugs that need to be ironed out
So, if after a collision of your DJI NEO the camera image is blurry - most likely: you just forgot to remove the gimbal cover XD!

very impressive video. thanks, now i have some less fear of breaking it, since every stuff else in rc/models breaks VERY fast usually. cool video!
Thanks for watching!
I got the Avata 2 and I was doubting about buy the Neo, with this video you have sold it to me😂😂😂 excelent promote for dji neo 😂
@@leewixx glad it helped you make a decision. For people who already have the avata 2 and fpv system I feel it’s an excellent buy because of the low weight and fun factor added in fpv
"WOW" Now I will defiantly be buying one.....Awesome Video review.
LOL... this is great !!!! Mine it will arrive this friday...
@@pedromoreno6836 Great - please treat yours better than I did mine 😜
@@dronewilder5234 well thanks to you I am very impressed by that little drone. I will be using it in weddings so I am sure it will take a lot more than a crash in case of an accident.
@@pedromoreno6836 absolutely - you’d have to be extremely unlucky for it to break from a slow paced shot at a wedding. The low weight also makes it brilliant for mitigation of risk to people.
Great video, took mine for my first flight today, was worried about the durability but now I am not :)
Sometimes the camera become out of place and keep shaking but I managed to fix it put in place back twice
I’d like to see you do this with avata 2 for a comparrison, great video
this is insane. I just bought it but didn't plan to do torture the the NEO. It's worth it
I'm watching my mailbox for mine!! Thanks for the video.
@@DesertCharleyVideos fingers crossed yours turns up soon!
Love your tests 👍😀
I touched a branch with my Neo when it was virtually stationary. It fell maybe 4 metres into a downward slope
For some reason taht was enough to break something inside it so it rattled when I shook it. It complained about take off angle when it was level and gimbal overload. When these cleared and it took off it flew to tbe side and crashed!
Not as indestructible as yours 😂
What a brilliant video. Loved this so much ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
@@In2Retirement thanks - glad you enjoyed it!
deserve million views.
That would be amazing but I would be grateful for just a fraction of that 😂
is sport capped? i get mine to 30km/h with no FPV in canada, but u have to go into the rc-n3 gyro settings and raise the max speed first
@@ThaDuDeMaN1 yeah it’s capped at 28kmh but as you say you have to raise it from the default which is 25kmh.
This is my dream come true durability test , thanks
You’re welcome
As a punster, Drone Wilder was on my short list of channel names at one time. I think we discussed the low mass design at 135 grams does more to keep Neo alive than all the armor in the world. It is more likely to bounce than follow through to destruction, right? Right! Similar results all over the place. It almost can't Fly FAST ENOUGH to kamikaze itself. But you worked SO HARD at you self assigned task. Well done. DC Rainmaker crashed it some 150 times, I think, and... could not ill it!!! I think in non-manual mode (Normal, Sport Mode) it is essentially indestructible for all intents. Very Entertaining. I do wonder of a tempered glass lens protector may have saved the lens sacrificially - or the bracket bumper bars they sell.
Absolutely - bumper bars and something like a clip of uv filter should be able to protect the gimbal although I think the impact inertia may still rip it off it’s rubber supports (this is actually one of its biggest weak points. Great to hear you found it entertaining!
Ohhh, man... I was really impressed with this! I managed to buy a DJI mini 3 with just one battery so far. Here in Brazil, the dollar is so expensive... If it's not too much to ask, could you send me one of these as a gift? If the camera wasn't damaged, it could even be this one from the test... I would be very grateful if you could. I'm slowly trying to make real estate videos here for some real estate agencies and I would really like to learn FPV and add this service as well. I always watch videos of Avata 1 and 2 (dreams) but this Neo after your video left me speechless. I haven't found any videos of Neo for real estate presentations yet, but it must be good, right? A big hug and thanks for sharing these experiences!
You are the real master!!
@@twin3333 thanks! 🙂
Little Neo Survived ! ! ! IMPRESSIVE ! ! ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Awesome video man 👍👍👍👍👍
Done Subscribed ✅✅✅✅✅
@@Agent_Semith thank you!
I am a big fan of durability test. Well done. Subbed! hahaha love it.
@@JeremyToh amazing thank you!
Great drone!
Terrific video!! Amazing drone!
Top class 👍 thanks for the test
@@-hastatus- thanks for watching
Hi does the Neo fly in FPV mode without googles? Just using the remote and the phone?
@@highestvirtue1892 unfortunate the only way to fly it proper fpv is with the fpv googles and fpv controller
@dronewilder5234 it's not able to fly FPV with just the controller with the built-in LCD screen?
A gladiator indeed ... and an honorable call on your part conceding defeat.
It felt like the decent thing to do 😂
Damn, they should rename it Chuck Neoris! So glad it didn't end up throwing you off that cliff.
@@Arielle250590 one of my favourite comments on this 😂😂😂
It was painful to watch 🥺 but thank you 😅❤
awesome video sir! thanks for this great review! i'm waiting for my neo combo package in our local store, i hope it arrives soon
Hope you enjoy it!
Near the end of your torture tests, I was beginning to feel sorry for the "ol' fellow". When it crashed into the wall at 45 km/h, I clenched my teeth, tightly closed my eyes and almost missed a heart beat.
@@KamranDodhy I think a lot of us were rooting for him at this point - I feel like an evil villain! What’s worse there is one more video to come - he’s yet to undergo another trial and this one is worse!
Incredible
One footstum from a big man like you...... yet sturdy lil drone!
The drone nearly broke me! 😜😂
Mate you definitely gotta your self a new subscriber. Incredible, can you tell me the name of the goggles? Have a good one, Max
@@MaxPhotoGraphic thanks - great to have your sub! The goggles are the Dji Goggles3
In your experience in the drones field... What would you consider other than the DJI Neo with a weight as the same 150gm or the dji neo is the only true winner?
@@Harikrishnanbr this really depends on what features you place the most value on. Hover air do a great alternative but it costs most and doesn’t have the same level of versatile control methods, however I believe the camera may be better and top follow speed of the pro version is higher. I would say for a GPS drone with versatile selfie, fly and FPV functions at £170, there is no real alternative I can think of. Anyone welcome to chime in here!
@@dronewilder5234thank you very much❤ you're underatted, but I think it's the time.. as youtube keeps recommending your videos, btw sorry for my bad English
@@Harikrishnanbr thanks - I’m feeling very grateful that my channel is starting to get more support and subscribers so hopefully it’ll keep growing. A couple of new fun videos coming out this week by the way!
While hovering in place, my drone fell from 50cm flat on it's belly and the gimbal got stuck to one side like yours, so not very durable in my case. FIY, the gimble gets stuck quite easily but it also moves back easily to it's original position so you can probably fix yours, it just has some rubber bands that hold it in place.
@@alex1e13 yeah it’s definitely a bit more fragile underneath and in fairness a large number of my tests where with a broken gimbal already. The drone stopped being immaculate shortly after the tree test
for as much as I've seen people trying to shit on the neo, it really seems to be crazy good for what it is. A little better camera and it would be really tough to beat.
Think it would hold up to the weight of a small go pro, 360 cam or something?
@@tbeiber09 maybe a stripped down naked GoPro at a push or something that weight but tbh I would recommend against it as this drone simply doesn’t have much power. Controlled indoor flying would probably be ok but outdoors if it has to stabilised against a gust of wind, it could really struggle with extra weight. Agree with you that with a slightly better camera this would be an absolute beast but I’m happy to make do with it as it is for now. People get too hung up about camera quality when this drone has so many other unique qualities.
Thank you for this break test as I'm going to purchase this tiny drone
Glad you found it useful!
@@dronewilder5234 Yes, it's really useful 🤝🏻
My Neo crashed a wall 1 time at a slow velocity 1.2 meters above the floor. Result? Gimbal tilt and now the Neo is incapable of stabilization. Such a delicate drone.
That’s very unusual at slow speed. Is it possible that the gimbal detached from the rubber retainers? Can it be reattached? Otherwise might be worth contacting dji - if lucky they may even offer a warranty cover repair
Insane performance for $200!!! great product!
Absolutely
Hello friend.. I'm happy to have a literally indestructible drone.. brave!!!!! Congratulations on the video.. incredible and unique. I don't think even DJI did that.. lol. You earned a subscription and admiration.
Thats amazing thanks for your sub and your support!
Hey btw, pardon me changing the focus for a split second here, but my room mate and are having a discussion on if you're a stunt double for Henry Cavill ;)
@@MicheIIePucca haha maybe if Henry spent a year eating pies I could pass as his double
I Guess He sometimes do stunt double for elon musk also.
In follow mode.
Neo: I like to keep my friends close and my enemies closer 😡
@@ian9toes 😂
Is it safe to say that Neo is the one?
Love this!! So entertaining!!
"I'm going to leave this place, it's starting to rain" As if the rain would be the demolishing the thing
@@Supermanenzo funnily enough I showed how a bit of rain is unlikely to harm it in one of my more recent videos
I am definitely here because of the trigger ⚠️ warnings ... Now time for popcorn 🍿😀
@@mtmccornack 😂😂
😂 is this covered by DJI refresh care?
Just makes me think maybe I just wasted my money buying the care refresh after watching this video!
@@xxlemmi with the video evidence 😂😂😂
@@gregb1599 not a waste at all as there are other ways you could damage it (fly away, accidentally driving over it, water damage etc). Care refresh is a brilliant investment on this one as it’s so cheap (£19 in the uk)
@@xxlemmi not sure if care refresh covers drone damage for entertainment 🤷🏻♂️😂😂
@@dronewilder5234 he could say "i crashed a tree with 5 km/h" ... that's not a lie 😂
durability is great
im curious, how about recovery after crashing? can it fly instantly? turtle mode?
can we count how many crash/impact from drone log? can you show us how
@@cimcim24 so in FPV manual mode it can fly instantly after a crash provided the battery didn’t eject. In a few instances the battery powered down during impact and drone had to then be restarted but in most cases the drone could just be started again instantly. Unfortunately I can’t see turtle mode on this drone yet (unless I overlooked it somehow). It’s possible that it’s doesn’t have enough thrust to turtle mode. Crash/impact count can be done manual from the log but it would be a tedious job
Hey. Can you make a test what Neo can follow? If you put jacket back on truck, can it follow then that truck? Because it follows only people but when it knows it's that jacket a people or not.
@@TavisTallaaja haha do basically a test on how to trick the AI- I like it!
@@dronewilder5234 Yep...that stupid when AI follows only people. But if it follows something what looks like people, then I can use it and buy it. I need small drone what can follows my BIG camping truck :)
@@TavisTallaaja presume manual control isn’t an option? Maybe if we are lucky dji will add support for vehicle tracking in future if hardware allows it. Other dji drones do have vehicle tracking
I finally broke mine yesterday. Dropped it from the sky for the 50th time in high wind.
The little rubber shock absorber on the camera gimbal broke 😢
$20 usd for a replacement drone, so that's not bad.
@@SalvadorDaliLama yes thats exactly what happened eventually on mine too - I think I mentioned this near the end of the video- even then the gimbal did still work technically which is insane.
Warranty, Sir? Are you sure this is normal wear and tear?
It’ll polish right out and be good as new 😂
It definitely excels at wall-smashing. Wondering if it got caught in branches or hard grass that could clog the motors...? Perhaps it'll excel at grass cutting...
Well I featured it in the following video which shows it’s quite good at leaf cutting 😂😜. Chance of grass clogging motors is unlikely - they will simply stop as it’s not got much power.
