We had 15-18 mph winds in Phoenix today and I was just doing some practice flying on manual mode and the NEO was struggling BIGLY.

[@colby_rogers]

Yeah, mine was unusable in high winds. I was expecting that with such a small drone

There will be further iterations of this drone which will iron out many of its imperfections.

[@colby_rogers]

I have no doubt you are right. Thanks for watching!

[@mstuartkendall]

Thanks for your work on this. Will it track you from other positions such as flying beside you or in front of you?

[@colby_rogers]

It does have a mode that follows you from the front. I am not sure about the side track. I know if you have a remote for it, you can absolutely side track. I'll have to try these out this weekend. Thanks for watching!

So what is your conclusion for climbing? Can it follow without anyone controlling it?

[@colby_rogers]

@samuellopca sometimes. If there are trees in the way or if the route is overhanging the drone won't be able to avoid those obstacles. However I've found plenty of situations where I will use it. Overall I'm happy with it. If you fly in manual mode and just place it in position , it will just hover .

[@samuellopca]

@@colby_rogers have you tried increasing distance from you in the app so it clears the overhang? And what mode do you use?

[@colby_rogers]

@samuellopca I did try the far mode. The high far mode goes to high for overhang. But selecting the flat medium did alot better for climbing.

@@colby_rogers thanks, I will buy it soon as it seems to work!
