Can the DJI Neo fly freestyle?

[@OriginaldoBo]

This video was done on stock rates which will affect the speed of a roll. Flat out in the top 20 % of the battery will be the best performance much after that it’s sorta mushy.

[@cyprusdroneworks]

Thanks.

[@DJISupportGlobal]

Hi there, we are sorry to hear about what happened with the aircraft. If your aircraft has been involved in a collision, we highly recommend submitting an online repair request through our official website. This will allow our certified technicians to inspect the aircraft fully. Please rest assured that this will be taken care of and handled accordingly.

[@Enplok]

@@DJISupportGlobal Oh you can see in the video that the Neo took all the crashes like a champ, it didn't break. Although we all recommend that you guys add way more power and a fpv mode for the Neo 2 :)

Everything is all good. Crashing the drone is my fault lol not yours.

Would it fly better without that mesh guard? Make it more like the Avata 2. Might get better air flow

[@BlackFlightNY]

For those curious, DJIs ACTUAL “freestyle” drone the Avata 2 (by itself, just the drone and the battery) is currently $489, so let’s just say $500 (tax,etc) The ORIGINAL Avata (again, just drone + battery) is currently $519 Point being, for only $200, they did the absolute best they could, to give a good bargain.

[@AbeMcCann-l8g]

I think they could have done better for an FPV drone, but weren't trying for that, they were making a sort of "everything" drone, and it isn't really marketed as an FPV drone or freestyle drone.

I love the video and even though you can’t do great acrobatic moves like with other higher level spec FPV drones, I think the Neo is great for beginners to practice the hell out of it and perfecting their flying skills then they’ll be ready to choose from a plethora of FPV drones that kickass, so I think that alone to get and build the confidence of being a better pilot is worth the price point. Thanks for always being straight and honest bro!👍🏾👍🏾

[@AlekseyVolchek]

Cant figure out how to connect neo controller 3 and goggles 3 all together 😢 any tips? I don't have motion controller.

[@mssippijim]

Just pre ordered one from B&H. Bought the RCN3 controller at a deal from someone who bought a Flymore combo in Canada and didn't need the controller. I so hope they make this compatible with at least Integra goggles at some point in the future. I have all kinds of fpv drones to do serious stuff with, just want this one for casual flights and it's compactness. Also being able to do some flying with just the phone control if wanted. For the type flying you are doing, if you haven't tried it, the motion controller excels.

[@abadakoor7018]

Hi ! Real question that I have difficulty understanding since I have the Neo, they indicate 18 minutes of maximum autonomy but why even with a 100% charged battery, the screen never indicates more than 8 minutes of autonomy remaining?

[@MadRC]

While it cant flip, roll or dive for its life im pleasantly surprised how well it flies in Manual if you treat it like a a whoop. I must have crashed it 20+ times today into the trees and mud and it survived like a champ. 100% on your comment in its weight preventing damage and the wind, its just lacking power when you need it to pull out of anything last minute. BUT you can push it once you get used to how it behaves around things and the battery life compared to a whoop is insane. It does feel like DJI is manipulating the power to the motors continually as its hard to get used to what power there is as its not always there when you think it should be , But that being said, This may be the best manual mode learning drone out there if you keep away from the freestyle moves.

[@OriginaldoBo]

Agreed, everytime I crash it I’m like this is it and nope it’s totally fine 😂 💯 the best drone to learn on
