As a newbie, thank you for better advice than DJI can give (through them employing people to be in asian call centres, who don’t really know how the Neo works). You shared so much valuable info in less than 15 minutes. I really appreciated that, so thank you once again for sharing such awesome, much needed Neo info!
@@SuperPhilthyrich I got my Neo just as the leaves changed. So cool to fly up between the branches and leaves in FPV. Burst through the canopy into a sunset. Enjoy! (Unnerves the squirrels a little)
Thank you bro! By far this is the best video about Neo. No ads and so many tips. I got a question here : it is Okay to leave the gimbal cover on when to fly pls? I wish to give the cam a little bit protection in case to bump on something. Thank you
Great video with some really useful information. I’ve had my Neo for about 3 weeks but I still learned things from your video. Also, love the fact that you don’t want your channel to be driven by brands! Well done 👍
Appreciate the video man. I've been looking to get into drones for a while now, and I think the Neo is going to be what finally tips the scales for me.
A tip for you: H.265 is HEVC for higher compression. Makes MUCH smaller files than H264 yet retaining the same image quality. I have the DJI neo and love it.
@@TomScryleus hay mate, i have a mini 4 pro but i dont whant to risk it in inside home ore places that are tiny, and i was thinking to buy neo only for that reason, what do you think? And i see others that complaining about the camera but to me it looks okay with what I've seen, i may also use it for any hotel or indore job
I’m interested in possibly using this for an indoor music video. Does it have the ability to move in a back and forth quarter to half circle while shooting a fixed subject?
At the end of the video you grab the Neo out of the air and turn it off using the power button. You can also flip it upside down and the engines will stop immediately.
Nice content. If the sharpness 0 is too sharp why the factory setting is 0. I heard this recommendation from some other videos But I am obsessed with the factory setting. Is it differs in different weather conditions? Or in any situation is -2 better?
Are all the features you're talking about with the remote you're showing, are they available with the goggles 3 and motion controller 3? It seems kind of crazy that a bunch of features would be hidden and not available. Great video thank you
It still uses Geofencing. Every DJI drone has Geofencing. Even if you only use it in the park to follow you, or even in your house or back yard, you have to get authorization first if you are in any restricted zone no matter what level. Why is noboby in these videos telling you that? It will not fly without prior authorization in any restricted zone.
Ahhh... I noticed that 😂😂... & That's the factor that can make this drone a pain 😢😢... I guess they're trying hard not to be critical on this lil drone cause they may anger there possible future sponsor... 😂 But Geo fencing is a huge factor here in Texas 🤠🤠.... Too many air fields around, lol literally have to fly in the desert with DJi drones (reason why I've been hesitant to get any DJi drones, yet 🤷🏾🤷🏾) dats why I see sooo many new DJi drones in pawn shops 😂😂 ... Even at a reduced price... It's not worth being a Hi-Tech paperweight 😂😂)
It’s not too happy in a metal shop where it cannot get satellite. A little disappointing there. Mine just came in yesterday so still checking it out. Pretty good video. Thank you.
This is very useful. thank you. I want to use this drone to record speakers performing on a small stage (yes, indoors), including some shots of the audience. any suggestion?
Excellent presentation !! Can you use USB-C cable without app to transfer data directly to tablet, notebook, or desk computers. I hope in NEO v2.0 drone there is provision for a smal, TELDMETRY module for collecting Drone and environmental data [ temp, pressure, voltage, light levels, acceleration, full GPS; would make this Drone useful in science teaching !
Very helpful video. You got my like and subscribe! I was one of the early adopters of the HoverAir X1, and I have loved it. It folds up and really does fit in my pocket. That little guy does all of the things that DJI quickly added into this new Neo (not “Nero” by the way) offers. My usecase remains in place for the Hover. It folds up so tightly that it fits in my pocket (really, it actually does fit because it’s like half of a sandwich). So that one gets the nod when we are walking around on a vacation trip. The Neo is a different beast. It works with my DJI Goggles. The flight stick. My multiple DJI controllers. So there is quite a bit of fun on a dedicated drone outing like when my wife and I have a picnic at a local park that is often devoid of any people really being present. So easy to enjoy anything there. My Mini 4 Pro and my Avata 2 are both just fine to play with there. But THIS little Neo…it can go anywhere because of how small it is. This is where my new usecase comes in. I can fly it at places where there are people. If they see it, it looks like a toy (much like the Hover). Only this one can fly very far, and out of sight of anyone around. That leaves me with my controller just taking video and pictures, having a good time. I’m bring this little guy to Dana Point Harbor this weekend! Cheers everybody, and buy a Neo as soon as you can. This is truly the gateway to having fun with drones. Just remember you really do want to purchase a controller with the video screen. This makes it easier to fly as a beginner, and I’ve been flying for years…I still like to see what the drone sees.
Great video! Thanks for the info. I got mine 3 weeks ago but I've only tested it once. I've been so busy I don't have the time to play around with the settlings and all.

@@Joan-u6c I believe he said the sharpness could only be saved, if changed , via the controller only... If when u connect to the phone only , it defaults back to "0" & I won't go to any adjusted level made by the controller (settings saved on RC only not mobile)
Can you explain the limitations of the DJI Neo while flyong over water. For example, a minimum height might enable to fly over water, or flying close to the coast where theNeo can see both lamd and sea?
I'm about to buy the air 3S, I used to fly my mavic air 2 back in the day but I want to have my part 107 license this time. But I think I might get this as well to have a fun drone to play with
Thank you for the tips, i want to order fly more combo after watching your video. The only concern i have, is it possible to connect the remote controller to iPhone 14 pro using a usb c -> lightning cable?
Love the neo, ordered it over a month ago and was a little worried about not having a dedicated controller. But after playing around with the techy features I may not even want a controller now. It's a perfect addition to my mini 2 and I find myself whipping it out and just playing around with it. It's great for my grand kids.
8:15 I do not see InternalSto on my iphone 14 pro max. Saw other files though. (Of course connected the cable and tried with and without battery, with Neo on and off). Also it’s Neo not Nero. Love this video, very thorough! Thanks!
that would be very cool to have return to home on phone with an update. I believe you can use those features with the goggles, and the motion controller as well
How did you get the shot in direction track where you signal with your hand, it flys back and lands? Mine will do all that but stops filming as soon at it sees my hand and starts to return. I cannot capture any hand landings. We're you still on beta Firmware? Nevermind I figured it out. When you are in manual control (phone, not controller) and record voice, it records until you stop with the shutter button, not when you land.
I tried rocket just using the onboard button yesterday 10m height, went up then lost track of me as I thought it was a good idea to move, then continued up to probably 20-30 metres and just stayed there! Ran into the house, grabbed the controller within 5 seconds of turning on the controller it had paired, and got the drone back.
@@endlesspt Actually I was probably a bit impatient as when I did it again it still looked high but I guess 10 metres is higher than it looks, when it came back down it stayed at about 3 metres as I had walked away, you could see it searching for me, it's so funny looking around and seeing the camera looking up and down, when I went back into it's sight it then locked on to me again and landed as normal. It's an extremely smart drone as it will lock on to one person, I had a friend walk in front of the drone and it completely ignored him!
@@gregb1599 glad to hear that, I was afraid that it lost track on its own. So basically, you have to stay in one place until its finish the quick shot and there should be no problem?
Range is the same as any DJI OC4 drone (more kilometers than the battery would allow you travel). Only when used with your phone exclusively is it limited to Wifi range.
@@timrock01 I rarely go over 400 feet as I'm very close to an air port. You can go 1000 feet easy, but careful the wind get stronger the higher up and it's a little drone.

Using the Mic on your phone actualy filters out the drone sound in the software it's not only because it's further away.
