This is the most detailed and well explained video I have ever seen on KZbin. You saved us tons of hours. Thank you so much!

What an amazing guide. I've watched it 3 times. My go to DJI Neo guide.

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thank you!

[@paulfoden1124]

Great work. So excited about mine - arriving soon.

[@jaayemm5875]

Exceptional video - thank you... Neo just arrived today... it's my first drone, so your video was exactly what I needed. Subbed!

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thanks for the sub! Enjoy your new Neo!

[@mightygraphicg35]

Thank you for this detailed, clearly understandable video. I will refer to it again and again as I learn how to fly my dji neo!

[@kevinflanagan7369]

Thank you for this video! Just got the Neo Fly more combo and this has been a very clear tutorial before my first flight! 🙂

[@TheDroneCreative]

My pleasure - enjoy your new Neo!

[@MrChewed]

[@devashishpatwardhan3]

I flew the DJI neo in Goa, India & the drone is so good! Flew it at 120m above sea level & got incredible footage! Loving this drone!

[@SaurabhSingh-sr3uj]

Did the same at eden beach, pondicherry and it works well, bought it from dubai at 27k

[@tokyiyo8533]

Great tutorial for fully beginners, thanks mate! Can't wait to play with my new toy😁😁

Extremely detailed and useful video! Thanks a lot. As a total beginner with my neo, it helped a lot. Cheers

[@TheDroneCreative]

Very welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@paullawrence8572]

Just brilliant as always Matthew!👌👍

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thank you!

[@Graemestein1974]

Superb guide for a beginner such as myself. All aspects of features, controls, on-screen layouts, mobile phone control, rc control, limits and constraints, all explained clearly and concisely. Much appreciated. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@TheDroneCreative]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@KassA_87]

Perfect informative guide. Covered all my questions. Keep it coming ❤

[@SawyerEaton-i9n]

I really like the video footage you got with neo. It’s really nice

[@Gkofilms]

Absolutely love this channel and you, you give the best advice and information, massive thank you

[@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes]

Is there a way to have the rotate function, on an object instead of yourself? such as a full rotation of a car for instance, or would you need to actually fly it around the object using controler/phone ?

[@divinummusic4665]

Yea there is. But I think only with controller.

[@petercornelius3059]

Excellent professional overview. Bravo!

[@mavs8888]

Great work! Fantastic explanation of almost everything in a clear and understandable way! Thank you very much!

[@TheDroneCreative]

You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@jamesfromnorway2840]

Absolutely brilliant video introduction. I am the target audience 😂, having never owned or operated a drone but I’ve been thinking about it for some time. Your presentation manner is excellent and you answered many of my concerns (and some issues I hadn’t thought about). So impressed I’m off to order the NEO with RC and it seems like a good one to start with and I’m really looking forward to having fun and gaining experience. I’ve also subscribed to your channel cos I had a look at other videos you’ve released and can see some good tricks and tips. So thanks and keep up the good work.

[@DeepBayHomestead]

And I was just getting used to the new controller on the mini 3 with the screen included. Thanks for your clear instructions on these drones.

[@TheDroneCreative]

Happy to help! Thanks for watching!

[@lukimalin]

I'm going to go visit Andalusia, Spain right soon and take my Dji Neo. Your video guide is just amazing. I appreciate it. Thanks a lot 😊

[@JamalJackson-j1h]

Hello! i was wondering if there is a digital remote on the app? if it is possible, could you tell me how? Also, these videos are really good! 👍👍😊😊

[@markmitchell1967]

Really useful and thorough guide. Thank you

[@andyzbox]

Fantastic video! I spent ages trying to find out what the icons on screen mean, no one else seemed to cover this. Thanks a lot and for the top tips cheers

[@TheDroneCreative]

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!

[@vijayarawamudhan4951]

Thanks for the explanation! My first ever Drone and my first ever learning video :)

[@TheDroneCreative]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@henryjohnsmitt8573]

Incredible detaile so much information the best full detail tutorial i have ever seen about this tiny drone thank you

[@TheDroneCreative]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@leejackson1546]

Just got one of these myself and had a blast trying out some of these features. This video is a great tutorial and gave me some more insight on the rest of the app and features I hadn't tried yet, like the Custom mode as well as the headset pairing.

[@TheDroneCreative]

Happy the video has helped! Enjoy your Neo!

[@leejackson1546]

Thank you, I've been having a blast with it. This video has really helped (and your other one about settings to change) I'm really interested in the Google and motion control, that could be fun when capturing vehicles and the like.

[@mhouslay7281]

Another absolutely superb video. So helpful. One thing. I appreciate that videos are core to the drone experience but no one seems to have discussed the best ways of taking single photos, which I’d also like to do. Are there any useful tips you have for that?

[@chowlissy]

Very informative and wonderful presentation, many thanks

[@TheDroneCreative]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching!

[@toekneewood]

Great 👍 video thanks very much for sharing. I’m very tempted to get one. But my 82 year old mum said not before she gets one 😉😳

[@bownsaway]

Brilliant Review one of the best on You tube.

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thank you!

[@FDbroadcasting]

Great review thanks!! So it is possible to set it to follow you only from the side so it doesn't fly direct behind you?

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thank you. Yes, you can use the direction track mode for this!

[@waltdortch4320]

Great video and content!

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thank you!

[@PatrickXberg]

Best PowWow thia year! ❤

[@clydeingram1822]

Matthew, in Camera Settings with the Neo, if you set Flicker rate to 50 Hz, can you then set frame rate to 25 fps, and codec to H.264? I must use these settings for videoing the annual Clarendon Marathon (Salisbury to Winchester) in October. This is to be compatible with the rest of the video team for the event. Note: the Mini 4K happily shoots in this way. Thank-you.

[@ec8155]

The most detailed review! Thank you!!!!

[@JericVillaflores]

Very informative! Thank you

[@TheDroneCreative]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@JoscelinTrouwborst]

You made me order the Neo 🙂

[@evinterest6348]

im getting value from this video

[@davidsimmons8545]

I was finally able to set it up thru my phone --- you have to have internet connection so you can authorize it and update ect. One problem I had was i was using a vpn on my phone and had to turn that off to connect it. When the green lights are solid it is fully charged. Also power on the drone push the button for 3 seconds and then release button and hold in until the unit comes on.

[@GT_KREW]

Great in depth video, I am definitely thinking about getting one.

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thanks for watching! Really appreciate it!

[@p1ll]

This is THE complete guide! Thank you so much for this. Subscribed too😊

[@TheDroneCreative]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@Stefanisteswieder]

Congrats!! Best Video ever for this NBG and how to!

[@MrEJYourSolarExpert]

WOW what a nice explanation video. Thanks

[@hiluxmonstertruckgleno6276]

Great info mate 👍 ❤

[@KeokiDude]

Excellent work, thank you.

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thank you!

[@nhtna4706]

At 17:58 where u set the drone to Dronie mode n it about to hit the tree u pressed stop button on the mobile , in that state, do u go to the drone n put ur palm to get it landed or is there a way to get the drone back to its original place of fly?

[@adewilt]

Great video, one thing I can't seem to do is change the language of the Android Fly app. It's super annoying to have it in Dutch (The Netherlands) since the translations are terrible. Would be wonderful to change it to English and in earlier tutorials it seemed possible in the past but not any longer?

[@MrsEmejzing]

I have the same struggle... Did you find the solution maybe?

[@juanvalera7272]

This little buddy is perfect for begginers like me and my son,we only want it for selfie modes.

[@Cheangkoy-kw7je]

I want to start with a video like yours.

[@johnboxxy3432]

Great guide, thankyou.

[@TheDroneCreative]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@dannystiasny3891]

Awesome video, Thanks for all the info , setting my new neo up now. 57 yrs old feel 7 yrs old, hahahahaa

[@rickh6942]

Would like DJI to add "Camera" with timed shots, say 5 Sec & 10 Sec intervals to All the NEO preset shooting modes. At present think only the "Circle" mode offers timed photos. Only offering the "Video" Camera Mode is a bit limiting

[@Gorutmk]

Great video. Just ordered my Neo, your video provides a great guide, I can't wait to start flying. Question, I want to film my dog walks in North Norfolk, on 'follow' will the Neo get confused between following me and the dog? Also having read the CAA guidance, do you need to take the flight test to get an operator's ID?

[@zzopit]

Thanks, I'm eating this stuff up. Mine is on Pre-Order, October 10th USA. Oh joy....

[@TheDroneCreative]

Hopefully it gets shipped out sooner!

[@AirBoem]

Really interesting video! Thanks for sharing us a lot of features that DJI NEO offers!

[@TheDroneCreative]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@PrinceAbrahamThekkekuttu]

Thank you for this excellent explanation video and also for your hard work and dedication

[@christopherlyons7613]

Great video. Do you know if they have any plans to offer a larger battery? There's quite a bit of headroom under the 250g weight Iimit and a bit more bulk should help it fly more steady in stronger breezes. A few more minutes of flight time would be beneficial.

[@TheDroneCreative]

I don't unfortunately, I suspect they'll reserve a larger battery and a few extra features for a 'Pro' version.

[@DavidPatrickCarter]

Can i change the exposure vía the app on the mobile?

[@TheDroneCreative]

Unfortunately not.

[@sidsoares73]

Waiting on beginner guide on action 5 pro from you awesome videos

[@TheDroneCreative]

Working on it as we speak!

[@DarkStoneCastle]

So let me get this straight... If you use the non controller method you are limited to doing a 'dronie' of 10 meters, but if you use a controller and the DJI fly app with Neo, you can use the 'dronie' selection and set the distance to much, much more, just like on a Mini 4 pro or Mavic?

[@resideky2943]

Yes

[@khanimania]

Its little leggy also depending on how much interference you phone getting. But its works fine in smaller area.

[@wp9002]

Controlling with the phone uses simple Wi-Fi. Using a compatible controller, the drone communicates via ocusync 4. Big difference in range limits.

[@petercornelius3059]

One tip activating a new Neo via an iPhone: If the WiFi gets stuck, and you have exhausted all the troubleshooting offered by DJI and the forums, cycle power of your iPhone. It did the trick for me. 😊

[@ABLReselling]

How easy (or not) is it for the drone to get confused tracking a subject, if there are multiple subjects in the environment being filmed? Thanks 👍

[@akorejepade1261]

Thank you for the FANTASTIC beginner guide. I have watched it twice now and it is a big help to me! At 34:05 when I press and hold the screen, I do not get that yellow box like you show on yours? Also, there is no switch on my Fly app to shut off charging phone when connected? Also, your list of options to select for the fn button is way longer than what I am seeing on mine? I am using the same remote that you with a Samsung Galaxy phone. What am I missing or doing wrong?🤔

[@Epoxy-Inlays]

Maybe you can answer this question. My wife and I bought have a dji drone with the controller with build in screen. Can we connect the neo to 2 different controllers? Thanks in advance 👍

[@ROB_THE_DEFENDER]

Fantastic video... it's is very helpful information spot on. I think I need to buy one now! pop in to my local Argos nice one 👍

[@TheDroneCreative]

Glad to help, and I truly appreciate your ongoing support!

[@Robroy11976]

Hi. Which custom settings applies when you use the neo without remote specifically using the preset flight modes? I believe sharpness and noise reduction adjustments doesn't apply on Flight modes without remote.

[@EMSAPPLEVLOG]

Nice for sharing your video very informative presentation love it❤

[@alan_wood]

Excellent! Thank you.

[@TheDroneCreative]

You are welcome!

[@terryneilbooth]

What a fabulous, complete and comprehensive user guide👍 Does it default to the changed settings from either the app or controller when using the Neo alone? Also, does get it get any gps without any controllers? Enjoying your channel coverage 👍👍

[@muthukasun]

Good Video, Thanks.

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thank you!

[@marselminga]

Does the neo start recording by itself when used without the phone (in six modes)?

[@farmerjerome685]

Thank you

[@TheDroneCreative]

My pleasure!

[@AngKamiSherpa]

VERY NICE THANKS

[@SecretMailBand]

What a great video - thank you so much! One question: if I change some of the settings in the app - are they stored in the drone itself (so they are active when f.e. using the drone standalone with quickshots)?

[@roadlens1]

Very Good Explan..

[@nhtna4706]

Also, imagine u have set the drone to follow mode, what if there is a bunch of people around you, would it follow you or go after someone getting confused? I noticed this on my drone when flying at home where it went after a diff person ;) is this a glitch or ??

[@BridgettHarrison]

If any, what would be the best way to get a driving shot?

[@pputri6654]

Hi can we set a route or waypoint with the dji neo?

[@taiwanjim]

Hello, quick question: My RC N3 was only able to connect to my phone once and is not working anymore. The phone screen kept showing "not connected to mobile device". Can you help?

[@f.jackson]

Hi, can the Neo track you from the side?

[@TheDroneCreative]

Yeah, just use the direction track mode!

[@carlosandreviana9448]

Are the sharpness and NR sticky or do they reset when not using the remote? Isn't it better to set both of them to -2 and correct in post?

[@JamesMationg]

do this need calibration before to fly? and can be use this without WIFI or needs a WIFI? thank you.

[@TheDroneCreative]

Doesn't need calibrated before flying and it can be used without wifi.

[@JamesMationg]

@@TheDroneCreative thank you.

[@Cornishvandweller]

Great video, thank you. On my version of the Fly App the 'Direction Track' option doesn't show. Any ideas why this might be? Frustrating that I have no way of activating what's likely to be the most important option for me!

[@TheDroneCreative]

I would try making sure the firmware is fully up to date!

[@Paul-pb3vq]

I've tried downloading the dji fly app on two different android phones I own both, phones say says Unsafe app blocked, even tho I've altered the settings to except app from this source.

[@pythonflying]

Would a firmware update include obstacle avoidance?

[@petercornelius3059]

It can’t as it does not have the extra stereo cameras like the mini 4 Pro.

[@abdullahchowdhury9073]

When i connect to my phone (with or without RC) I'm getting 6.55min of flight time. Its at 4k30p setting. Is it the best i can get or am i doing something wrong. I haven't changed any setting since I bought it.

[@miqesta9985]

I CANT CONNECT MY DJIFLY APP TO DRONE BCS OF MY POCO X 3 PRO ITS NOT SUPPORTED IS THERE ANY CHANCE TO CONECT ANOTHER WAY?

[@josephvillaranda4451]

can you try at night flying

[@TheDroneCreative]

There is example night footage in my latest video, the quality is very poor at night.

[@juanvalera7272]

Hello just subscribe to your channel,just got mine an hour ago haha i never fly a drone haha.Thanks for your video

[@stayuntethered]

So we can’t fly Acro on the RC -3 or RC-2 ?!

[@dronehobbyistsouthamerica]

Why would you risk removing the propeller screws while the drone is placed on a deck with spacing between the boards where the screw could fall thru the crack?

[@TheDroneCreative]

It's a table, not a deck. There is also no gaps between the fake boards. All good!

[@chiledronehobbyist]

@@TheDroneCreative whew... I got nervous there for a minute.

[@davidrivera390]

Im having a tough time trying to transfer my files to my iPhone. I recently updated to the latest iOS and I updated the NEO. It keeps failing to transfer, any recommendations?

[@petercornelius3059]

Ok, via WiFi it is quite slow and buggy. Connect a cable to the drone on one end, and to your notebook on the other end. On your notebook an external storage device pops up. It’s your drone’s internal memory. Drag the internal files to the storage location of your notebook, done superfast. Depending on your phone, the same may hold true for non iPhones.

[@ptaylor5014]

Newbie question: can i buy this NEO and fly it straight out of the box! or would i have to have a smartphone to initially set it up? i am thinking of getting one for my grandfather who does not own a smartphone.

[@FilipRadelic]

You need a smartphone to activate it. You could just activate it for him, don't really need a phone after that, but it would be good to have for situations where it bumps into something and is inaccessible via hand etc.

[@bobg5059]

Hey, based on experience with DJI Mini 3 Pro, you need to turn off the phones mobile radio to get the quick transfer to work. I put my iPhone in airplane mode, and turn on wifi and bluetooth.

[@MikevomMars]

Camera drone controls in portrait mode is the dumbest thing I've ever seen 🤦 Glad they fixed this with the latest update.

[@TheDroneCreative]

Totally agree!

[@purnamapurnama828]

So the Neo only gets 6 minutes of flight time only ?

[@LukaszZukowski-k7w]

My drone does fly up to 10 min depending on how strongly I push it
