Thanks Andrew - I am also looking forward to my reviews on the Mini 5 Pro, but so far not much of a sniff of a launch date. Personally think it's too close to the Neo and Mini 4K launch + I think the Air 3s/4 is closer to production than the Mini 5 Pro given the leaks that we saw a couple of months ago. Will be ecstatic to be proved wrong though! (although my bank balance won't be! 🤣)🖖
Yes you did! And I’m not too proud to say that I can learn just as much from the ATF community (if not more!) as they learn from me! At the end of the day, as I always say - I’m too old to know everything! Thanks Andrew 🖖
Great it’s pretty much fixed before I even get to open mine next week . HEY FLY and all is good 👍 Keep at it in your spare time so my spare time means I spend less of my spare time sodding around and can just enjoy my spare time 😂👍
Pretty darn good. Not perfect but she has still excellent voice commands. So long as she knows how to get home - safely. Thanks for the follow up video. It was fun to watch.
I'd be thrilled if I could use "Take off" with some people I know. You probably dont remember "Take Off, to the great White North" - Comedy song Bob & Doug Mckenzie, special guest Geddy Lee - of Rush! Anyway, just touring your back catalog. Looking forward to the LightCut Video you hinted at!
Cheers Blair - have to say I’ve not heard of that, but will take a listen. Good luck with the tour - some of the early ‘non waffly’ stuff is a great cure for insomnia! 🤣 All the best!🖖
I found that pressing the buttons was easier than the voice commands but the ability to add the distance makes it worthwhile... having said that, I would prefer the ability to select the distance in the fly screen instead of the settings. Maybe add that feature to the preselected buttons too? e.g. select Rocket then during countdown pressing the button again cycles through the distances and CANCEL... i.e 2m, 4m, 6m, 10m, 20m, cancel. I would also like the ability to do a half or quarter circle maybe with a degrees and distance option: Circle 10m 180º
Some really good points, thank you. I would like the ability to just say 'circle 3 times' or make it do a circle until you say 'stop'. Thanks for your comment - very interesting and constructive! 🖖
Haha cracking video mate, they get better and better! Just a. Pleasure to watch mate, love the effort you put into them and a laugh a minute, always look forward to the next one! Now on the drone that firmware update has sorted it 100% , so much more responsive ! Works great now! Have a great week buddy and look forward to your next one 👌👏👏👍
Cheers matey and thankyou so much for your support! Next one is potentially predictable, but should be good (someone has sent me some 'things'...) All the best! 🖖
@@amoktimeflies you’re welcome buddy , will continue to support your channel it’s a pleasure to watch ! Oh sounds great that, will look forward to it. 👏👍
Well done! I'm glad you were not the problem. Lol. It does look like you sometimes need to say , "Hey Fly," wait for her to respond, and then give your command. Like using a walkie talkie, other wise you're talking all at once. Although, sometimes she takes your command right away, and other times she wants to talk over you, either way it seems so much better than before. BTW, I love your accent.
🤣but if I revert to my native Scots accent - fowks cannae ken whit ahm sayin specially boot the wee flyin poop! Yep - there is a slight 'knack' to it but WAY better than when I tested it originally.... ...on Friday.... ...the day before they updated it! 🤬🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for checking in! 🖖
I didn't say it, but the accent thing occurred to me, but I am a Southern American and haven't had issues so I suspect you wouldn't either. I am waiting for the Neo 2 and 3 and hope they come quickly once the Neo maximizes it's profits.
@@vonheise I suspect there may be a couple more firmware updates and also update to DJI Fly to allow for sharpness etc to be adjusted for the auto modes. But yes - weirdly I’m already looking forward to the next iteration. I suspect they’re waiting to see how this one goes over the holiday period. 🖖
Much better. I still think DJI is missing free advertising by not having the key word be “Hey Neo”. Anyone in the area will google “hey fly” and then never find the link to the drone. “Hey Neo” won’t get you there, but they could pay for it to do so and it would make more sense. I don’t think accents should be an issue. This is sort of a world wide product isn’t it? Then they have to assume lots of people with accents will use it. They’d need to consider different words with the same meaning too… for instance, in the states most of us don’t say “further”. We say “farther”. It shouldn’t trip either way. Glad they made a fix so fast though.
Yeh - I had to swap between further and farther (even thought of cutting in a clip from Empire Strikes Back, but yeh I had to go to work and only had limited time! 😂) The Neo only recognises Mandarin and English, so I think it's fairly limited right now and the voice recognition is rudimentary but getting better. Still want to put my own phrases in but that's because I'm an immature middle aged man 🤣 Thanks for you comment - very interesting 🖖
I have a drone..haven't used it for over 2 years..mavic air 2..is this less hassle & more fun? Will the neo be quieter without propeller guards & would neo be able to carry an action camera
All good questions! Air 2 is a solid drone and in a different class to the Neo. Not sure about the sound with the prop guards off - cant see there being a significant difference though. (Ian in London has just released a vid on the sound although I haven't had a chance to watch it yet). As for the action camera - I think that would really affect stability - the Neo has a good try at higher winds, but it's not great so I think it would struggle to cope IMHO. Thanks for watching!🖖
Aha - special Amok Time family secret passed down from generation to generation!.... You get used to it unless you're doing battery endurance tests in your living room at which point you start going slightly insane! (OK - OK - Davinci Resolve voice isolation + 32 bit float on the DJI Mic 2 😉) Cheers Frank! 🖖
Two good videos. However you were using to many words for each command in the last and you weren't saying "Hey fly" to awaken it. Just my thoughts. Great videos though.
Yep - although I did explain why - in the first video I got nowhere with saying 'Hey Fly!' so had to resort to using the button. But yeh - in the second it's just a case of getting the timing right - it's not quite 'natural' language yet, but I could tell that they've definitely improved it! Thanks for you comment!🖖
@@amoktimeflies Still very good. I am considering getting one now but had no interest before watching. Got a Mavic 3 but it's horses for courses. Different tools for different jobs. I may use it for doing the NVQ'S on plant machines for evidence gathering. Cheap enough to try.
I'm really liking the features of the cheapest bundle especially the working voice commands, but the video quality is really really bad. I'll hold off on buying to see if the quality improves with firmware updates.
Yeh - it's not exactly 'buttery smooth' is it! 🤣 and It may get a little better, but is suspect it's somewhat limited by the hardware. I have some ND filters coming soon, so it would be good to see if that improves things a bit. Thanks for watching!🖖
I did purchase the Paisley version, but by the time it got here it was on bricks and the props had gone! 😂 (BEFORE anyone starts I'm allowed to say that because my family is from Paisley). Cheers Mark! 🖖
I noticed that you’re talking really fast when you’re talking the app is responding. I would say a command wait for the app to respond and then clearly give the command after that.🤷♂️
Agreed - still a bit of a knack to getting the timing right I think, but also something I think people would get used to after a bit... Thanks for your comment🖖

Thanks for sharing.

Good Video ! Grettings fro Germany .
Vielen Dank und danke fürs Zuschauen! 🖖
Works very well now after the update, now even I can understand your accent.
😂😂 But i watched that video myself and even I can hardly understand a word! 🤣Thanks for watching mate! 🖖

Thanks for doing that again. It seems better for sure

The “further” command doesn’t seem to be working for me either
I think that ‘far’ and ‘close’ might be more effective. I also think there may be an issue with the pronunciation of further/farther.🖖

Certainly will buddy! (as long as Occusync 4.0 lets me! 😉)🖖
