Thank you for this video! I crashed my DJI Neo recently because I was flying too near to a building, and suddenly it loses GPS signal and it went into ATTI mode. Within one second, it drifted and hit the building. Although the flying speed was slow, it fell down from the height of three stories building. The gimbal was slightly detached and there were scratches on the drone. I was able to push the gimbal back in and it still can fly. Was worried that the drone would not function properly after the crash. However, after watching you throwing it down the cliff, it made me felt relieved. DJI Neo rocks!!!

As a punster, Drone Wilder was on my short list of channel names at one time. I think we discussed the low mass design at 135 grams does more to keep Neo alive than all the armor in the world. It is more likely to bounce than follow through to destruction, right? Right! Similar results all over the place. It almost can't Fly FAST ENOUGH to kamikaze itself. But you worked SO HARD at you self assigned task. Well done. DC Rainmaker crashed it some 150 times, I think, and... could not ill it!!! I think in non-manual mode (Normal, Sport Mode) it is essentially indestructible for all intents. Very Entertaining. I do wonder of a tempered glass lens protector may have saved the lens sacrificially - or the bracket bumper bars they sell.

[@dronewilder5234]

@@dronewilder5234 I'm much more excited to receive it now that you're down what a tank it is. It's obvious that as hard as it was to watch, it was equally unnerving for you to purposely wreck it. It looks like that would be good immersion therapy for pilots who regret not being more adventurous in their flying. You're probably much more confident shooting small gaps at speed than you were before this experiment. Thank you for your service.

[@dronewilder5234]

@@FlightClubProductions absolutely - I feel this is what this drone is best for - shooting small gaps - taking risks, close proximity, near misses - all the kind of stuff that looks epic on camera but without risking an expensive $1000+ drone. Thanks again for watching and I hope you enjoy yours a lot!

[@dragonz1881]

At least get your human subject to wear safety glasses if you plan to fly the drone at 25 km/hr into him as a precaution. But its good to know that the Neo is durable. Very impressive tests.

[@dronewilder5234]

Thank you - I’ll get him to wear safety glasses for the Inspire 3 tests 😜😂

you are exhausted.. :D I am glad just ordered this drone to shoot some shots.. not like professionally, but still.

[@dronewilder5234]

@@iammz81I was exhausted - had to climb up half a cliff to retrieve it! Its definitely nowhere near professional quality video but you can fly it in places you’d never dare risks a larger more expensive drone and that’s what makes it so special

@@dronewilder5234 it should at least shoot decent videos in daylight with ND filter I assume. With a bit of colorgrading.

@@dronewilder5234 I really do hope so.. when I am traveling I want to do some videos of the places with my camera and with the Neo to make them a bit more interesting. BTW can I for example have this hover around any subject? Like a parking car or a building, do the same as with a human?

[@dronewilder5234]

@@iammz81 at the moment I believe the active track only works for humans but here’s one trick - if you do a circle mode, it won’t track a subject, it’ll just track the subject centre point and fly a circle around that coordinate - even if the subject has moved or for example stepped into a car 😜

thanks a lot fopr this video.... is this video of just one neo?? or multiple neos??

A tree and a brick wall are almost as hard as each other. Just ask cars that hit trees, the tree always wins!

[@dronewilder5234]

@@gregb1599 you’re probably right 😂. Brick walls where a bit easier to aim at though 😜

[@gregb1599]

@dronewilder5234 So true, I was not trying to be negative. Your testing was great. Today, I managed to break two props on my Neo, and all I hit was a blanket on the back of the chair moving at most 1kph! To be fair, I think it got caught on a loose thread, but it completely destroyed one prop and damaged another!

Enjoyed the collision test involving individuals. They could consider adding a drone category, weighing under 150g, which seems to be quite harmless.

[@dronewilder5234]

Yes it sort of sits in the same category as the sub 250g C0 drones although as you say arguable this is significantly even less risk - maybe a C-1 category needs to be established 😂.
