Yes, the Mini 2SE battery is 100% compatible with the Mini 2. Mini 1 batteries can be used in the Mini 2 and Mini 2SE. The Mini 1 batteries use a lithium-ion battery chemistry while the Mini 2 batteries use a lithium-ion polymer chemistry (LiPo). The Mini 2/2SE batteries provide higher energy density in a lighter package compared to the Mini 1 batteries. Mini 1 batteries work just fine in the Mini 2/2SE, however they are heavier and have less energy density so flight times will be shorter. Mini 2/2SE batteries will NOT work with the Mini 1 - they are physically incompatible. Mini 1 batteries can be charged in the Mini 2/2SE charging hub. Cheers!

Thanks! Sounds awesome! 😀

Thank you! The NEO is a very fun drone to fly, I am quite enjoying mine. I think what makes it so good is that it can be flown in a variety of ways (palm control, app control and controller), it is very forgiving of mistakes (crashes) and it is so simple to use for capturing moments quickly. Cheers!

Thanks. Many times it seems there is an overreaction to new technology before people settle in to a more reasonable view. I suppose my one worry with the NEO is that if it becomes popular and pervasive you won't have any peace or privacy when visiting beautiful, scenic areas. You'll just have all these folks flying around annoying everyone. Time will tell I guess. Cheers!

Thanks for watching and for the comment Ron. Hopefully you'll be getting your soon. In the meantime I am loving that I *finally* got a drone before you guys did. 😀

Thanks Don. Good advice - haha!

That's assuming the ducks have watched this video & know to turn the drone over to shut it down. 😉

​@GaryV-p3h True. But in these modern times we are meeting not only those hatched as ducks, but also those who now identify as ducks. Love and be kind.

Hello. Did you buy a drone?

@@SteveCoutts yeah i did order the dji neo bundle because i dont know if im gonna crash or not and im probably gonna fly more to the ground either way wheres less wind Its supposed to come tommorow👍 Your videos helped alot thanks

@@FollowerOfGreed Fun! The NEO is very fun to fly and very forgiving. I have had a few crashes now and it is not damaged at all. I think it is a very good drone on which to learn the basic skills. When you're ready to move up to FPV style flying, you can pair it with goggles and a FPV-style controller for even more fun. Good luck with your NEO!

Thanks and thanks for watching Bob! I am totally relishing that I got my hands on Neo before my American friends. It's usually the other way around.

Thank you for watching. Happy to hear it was helpful. Cheers!

Danke 😀

I was actually surprised how well it did when passing trees on some very narrow trails. The footage where I am on the bike the drone only crashed to the ground once around a very tight, hairpin corner. The drone was too low to the ground, the corner was tight and I was also climbing at the time so I think the combination was very difficult for it to navigate successfully. A few other times it lost me behind trees but it stayed in place until I came back to get it to follow me again. At the end of the video it hits an overhead branch but stays in the air. You can see the drone look for me just as the video ends. I cut the video there but if I had let it play you would have seen me run back to the drone. When it saw me it started to follow me again. When you see me or my wife wearing green jackets, the trail was much wider and the drone stayed with us without issue. We found that ducking under overhead obstructions caused the drone to dip a little too. Overall I was quite pleased how well it navigated. It is also quite good at staying in the air even when it hits obstructions. The drone had no visible damage from hitting obstacles.

@@SteveCoutts yeah thanks for responding! Im going to buy the nao or mini 3 probably tomorrow (thinking) At the end where it crashed onto the btanch truly was good and funny ending in some way, unique you could say

Thanks! I am having so much fun with my NEO. I can't remember the last time I have had this much fun with the DJI drone. Price point is perfect, video quality is good enough and, like you say, it's the most versatile drone you can get. I picked up the Motion 3 controller and Googles 3 and just tried them with my NEO last night. Oh man was that fun!! What an experience! Can't wait to grab some cool shots with that combination. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment. I will be sure to check out your drone video when it's up. Cheers!

Steve, I totally agree and it is so much fun. I fly it with my DJI RC2 screen controller. This controller I also use with the Mini 4 Pro and Air 3. I find the goggles 3 to expensive for my use and wait for the new and hopefully cheaper goggles N3 that are soon to be released based on rumours. Also thinking about buying the motion 3 controller with the cheaper goggles. Enjoy your Neo. This little drone really brings back the fun of drone flying👍🇳🇱

As far as I know there is no way to transfer files directly from internal storage to a micro SD card inserted in the drone. From internal storage you can only use Quick Transfer to move files to your mobile device or drag and drop to a computer by physically connecting the drone with a cable. Cheers!

Oh, it's accurate alright. I did make some *minor* tweaks to about 36% of the clips though. I put details in the video description but also shared my Final Cut Pro timeline on my KZbin Community page so folks have a better idea of what I did. Mostly I just fixed white balance or exposure issues. Certainly nothing major. You're right, it does look good! Is it going to compare to a Mini 4 Pro or an Air 3? No, of course not. The Air 3 costs over $600 more and the Mini 4 Pro is over $500 more than the NEO. It's not apples to apples. Sure, the video quality could be better but if DJI did that then a $200 NEO becomes a $500 or $600 NEO. A $600 NEO no longer appeals to the folks who just want to grab some cool shots without breaking the bank. That being said, I feel quite confident there will be a "Pro" model sometime in the future because the larger drone community is going to want one. Mark my words. In my opinion the video quality is very good for its price point. In good light the video quality is quite good. In low light the quality starts to degrade and don't even think about shooting at night, it's terrible. For the price though you get a really fun, tough, portable, capable drone that gets the job done without being a hassle. I am very happy with my NEO and I think it's a very good version 1.0 from DJI.

@@SteveCoutts I just miss doing aerial video. I don't plan to tweak it much, but just want to see things from the air again. We have a massive Google datacenter campus being built 1 mile from my house. They have large berms built around it so no one can see the construction. I have been missing my drone because of this! Pretty soon the secrets will be revealed!

The Mavic 3 Pro will live-stream with the DJI RC Pro controller. The DJI RC does not support live streaming.

The Mini 2 is a great drone and a solid choice however it is impossible for me to advise you on whether or not you should buy it. The typical advice I give to people is to buy the drone that best suits your needs and your budget. You need to ask yourself - what do I want this for? What features do I need? Flight time? Video quality? Range? Sub-250g? How much do I want spend? Deciding what features you need and how much you want to spend will certainly narrow your options. Honestly, if this will be your first drone buy a DJI NEO for $200 US. It's not a lot of money to spend for a fun, portable, capable and hassle free drone. If you end up not using it as much as you thought, sell it. If you find yourself loving it and eventually exceeding its capabilities move up to something better. Or, if you want something more capable right out of the gate, grab a DJI Mini 3 for $335 US. It's a couple of notches above the Mini 2 in every way. Of course, if you can grab a used Mini 2 with some batteries and a controller for around $150 US (or less), maybe that's a better deal. As I said though, it's all about your needs and your budget. Good luck!

@@SteveCoutts (My english isnt that good so sorries) i had my choices between mini 2SE, Nao and the mini 3, but im not sure what to buy since im still 15 and it takes some time for me to earn it. ive watched lots videos including some of yours to know what something means or does which was truly helpful. Im not sure about the Nao drone because someone had said the camera it had wasnt as good as said by other people Im looking for drone thats fun to use or doesnt get lost easily when im like 2-6km away from the drone💀(i want decent camera so i could actually understand whats going on) since they wont have obstacle avoidance Oh and thanks alot for responding (im definitely subscribing for that)

Hi Paul. I try to be mindful of people's time and attention span so I make my videos as information dense as possible. Of course, that style may not work for everyone. You can try doing what I do when KZbin outpace my ability to absorb the information. You can adjust the playback speed. It can go all the way down to 1/4 speed but I usually find 3/4 speed to work in most cases. You can also try what I do most often - pause and rewind. It's not elegant I suppose but it gets the job done. Thanks for watching, cheers!

Hi. I really only know the process for transferring from an iOS device. I do not have any Android devices so I'm not too much help there although the process should be similar. With an iPhone or iPad, there are a few ways to do it. You can navigate to the videos by first clicking on the Photos app on the mobile device, then look for the DJI album. You may have more than one DJI album and the names will vary but it will start with "DJI". Once you find the appropriate album, you can just touch "select", choose the ones you want and then touch the share icon (box with up arrow) and you get options on where you can send them. If you have a Mac computer, you can just connect your iPad or iPhone to your Mac and it will automatically open the Photos app, ready to import your videos. Just select the videos you want and then hit import. You will see them in the "Imports" folder in Photos. If you have a Windows computers, you can physically connect your iPad or iPhone and it will either mount the device or open an app that can facilitate the transfer. I'm not sure of how it works because I run a Mac only. If you have an Android device, you should be able to physically connect it to a computer with the appropriate cable and it may just mount as a storage device that you can drag and drop the files from. Again, I don't run Android or Windows so I am just guessing a bit here. Hope this helps. Good luck!

I live in Canada. I usually have to wait an extra week compared to my American friends so I am really savouring this one. 😀 Cheers!

Copy that. Nice! The bit rate (on the specs) seems so low compared to even my mini 3 pro… but you make it look good!

@@jordanrubinfilm Yeah, it's half the bitrate of the Mini 3 Pro (75 Mbps vs 150 Mbps). Honestly, it's actually quite decent in good light. I'm quite happy with it. It's so fun to fly and pretty darn good for a version 1.0 from DJI. I appreciate the kind words.

Makes sense! I also read that they won’t allow manual exposure control in the intelligent shooting modes. Hopefully that’s coming in a firmware update. I keep checking KZbin hoping someone will try mounting a GoPro on the Neo for better image quality 😂. The mini 3 can hold the GoPro but I’m guessing this little guy is just too small!

@@jordanrubinfilm Currently there is no manual exposure for the autonomous flight modes. I agree, I hope it's coming. LOL. I'm sure *someone* will try it at some point. I would be very surprised if NEO could get off the ground with one though. My DJI Action 4 outweighs my NEO by about 10 grams! And, if it is able to lift it, the battery life will be so short you'll have about a minute to grab your shot before you need to land - haha!

Considering it's $200 price point, fully manual FPV capability, autonomous flight, controller compatibility and portability, it's an amazing little drone. Sure, its video quality doesn't compare to drones costing HUNDREDS more but that is not what it's trying to do here. It is a drone for anyone and everyone who ever wanted to get in to drones or maybe just get some interesting shots. For that, it's excellent and in good light the video quality is actually quite good. Its versatility, portability and "no hassle" operation make it a no-brainer for folks who just want to capture some cool pictures and video. Cheers!

Thanks! Cutting pliers is a good idea too. Cheers!

Thank you. About 36% of the shots have very MINOR colour and/or exposure adjustments, the rest were straight out of the camera. No LUTs, no filters - none of that stuff. I just put an image on my KZbin Community page that shows my Final Cut Pro timeline. The clips with purple bars above them are the only ones that had minor edits. Cheers!

Thanks for watching and thanks for the sub! Cheers!

Just get it if you can I love mine so simple and I take it everywhere the drone you have with you is the one you will use

Thank you so much, I appreciate the kind words. I'm very pleased with my NEO. It's by no means perfect but if DJI sticks with it, as I'm sure they will, the next version will be killer. For a version 1.0 from DJI, it's really quite good. Cheers!

That's EXACTLY it! It's the one your going to actually use because it's not a hassle.

Thanks Bob, I appreciate the kind words.

Thank YOU for watching and for the kind words.

A resposta para sua pergunta está na descrição do vídeo, mas vou mencioná-la mais uma vez. Fiz pequenos ajustes de exposição e cor em cerca de 36% dos clipes. Os clipes restantes são direto da câmera. Não apliquei nenhuma LUT à filmagem, nem usei nenhum filtro na lente da câmera durante a filmagem. A filmagem é muito próxima do que você pode esperar do NEO. Na minha opinião, o NEO faz um bom trabalho em luz forte. Em pouca luz, a qualidade começa a cair rapidamente. Obrigado por assistir e obrigado pelo comentário.

Thanks for watching George. Happy to hear the video was helpful. Cheers!

Thanks! Haha! For paid work the DJI Mini 4 Pro is my go to. It has great image and video quality and pretty much all the features you would want in a drone. I haven't finished fully evaluating the NEO yet but plan to have a full review in early October. It's definitely fun to fly, portable and comes in at a great price point. The follow tech is decent (corners can be tricky) and it mostly stays in the air after hitting obstacles. The camera system is decent but not great. It does very well in good light but the quality falls apart quickly in low-light. My favourite thing about it is it's so easy to take with you, get it in the air, get the shot and get it back in your pack while barely interrupting your flow. As you saw the NEO can handle some of the challenges of mountain biking but I think it's limited to 20 km/h in follow mode, so not so great for high speed DH. Version 2 of this thing is probably going to be the one you want. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! I always appreciate your insight and comments. Cheers!

Thanks! 😀

Thanks!

It's funny, I haven't tried that yet. Predominantly I've used "Follow" and a bit of "Active Track". I am pleased with both. Lots of testing left to do though.

Thanks Ron! I was quite surprised how well it followed. I can tell you that it doesn't do tight corners well thought, especially with elevation gain or loss but overall quite impressed.

Thanks for watching, I appreciate you stopping by. Cheers!

LOL. I don't know how many years, year over year, I waited while my American friends got their new toys seemingly overnight. Delighted to be a little ahead of the curve this time. Cheers! 😀

@@SteveCoutts my first drone. I’m excited to get this one. Very affordable and seems fairly easy to use. Keep up the good work!

@@TwoCaptainsOneShip Awesome! For your first drone I think it's a good one to start with. It's easy to fly, forgiving of mistakes (collisions), shoots decent video and photos and like you say, good price. My advice for your first drone would be fly it close and in open areas until you build your skill, understand how it works and how to handle problems. Best of luck with your NEO!

@@SteveCoutts thanks!! That’s definitely my plan.

LOL. The crazy thing is it survived the hit, stayed in the air and kept recording. I cut the clip short but if I let it run you would see me get off my bike, run back to the NEO and get it to follow me again. I jumped back on my bike and it followed me to the end of the trail. I was quite impressed. Surprisingly, I have not tried a "front follow" yet. Interesting about the "wavering" howeverI think there is some room for fine tuning. Mine started speaking in Chinese half way through a ride and by the end was speaking English again - haha! Cheers Don!

Thanks!! 😀

Thank you! The drone stayed in the air and kept recording. I cut the clip short but I actually got off my bike, ran back to the drone and got it to continue following me to the end of the trail. Quite impressive. Cheers!

Thanks so much! Cheers!

Thanks Jasper!

It's not styrofoam and not headphone foam. "Sponge foam" did make me think that you could get a dish sponge and cut a little bit of that. It would likely be perfect and cheap. Cheers!

I think you could use anything that has a little give really.

Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words!

Thank you! 😀

100%. Thanks John.
