Must Change Setting for beginner drone pilots, DJI controller RC-N3 and DJI Neo drone.

[@GottastayFLY38]

Great video! Changes my whole flying experience.

[@pictureworldphotography]

Glad it has helped you. Cheers.

[@nealconner1939]

Great tip, thanks for making the video and sharing. I have had my neo and rcn 3 controller for about 3 weeks. Changed my settings immediately after watching . Since it was nighttime... I tested it inside my home(which I had used the controller with the standard settings inside). I could tell an immediate difference, made the drone much easier to navigate. I will definitely be give it a spin on the outside tomorrow 👍👍👍👍👍

[@pictureworldphotography]

I'm so pleased that it's helped you. Have fun with your drone. Cheers.

[@nealconner1939]

Just tried it outside, total game changer... a lot easier and less stressful flying between trees and objects! Thank You!

[@pictureworldphotography]

@@nealconner1939 You're very welcome, glad it's helped. Cheers.

[@ADV_Agenda]

That makes way more sense!!! Thank you buddy ✌️

[@pictureworldphotography]

No worries, glad it helped you. Cheers.

[@Norway-BOY-MTB-Mountainbike]

Thanks Mate !! Very nice video and very Helpful !!🤙🤙

[@pictureworldphotography]

Glad I could help, only had it a couple of weeks and found the default settings for the joysticks hard to learn so had a look in the settings and came across how to change them. I pleased that it is helping you all. Cheers.

[@canpin]

Fun watching you both enjoying flying the Neo drone

[@pictureworldphotography]

@@canpin It is fun flying the drone, need way more practice though. Cheers

[@killiansred40]

brilliant definitely going to give it a go

[@pictureworldphotography]

I'm so glad this video is helping people, Thanks for your comment. Cheers.

[@NillHo]

Thats a good idea, i will try it tomorrow. Thanks.

[@pictureworldphotography]

Good luck, hope it works for you, if it doesn't then you can always revert back to default settings, easy. It's good to have a choice though. Cheers.

[@jordanlindo5277]

Great vid. Will be changing settings soon.

[@pictureworldphotography]

Glad you liked the video, hope the new layout works for you. Cheers.

[@blackstone47]

Very useful tip. Thank you !!

[@joseargonza7984]

Makes sense. Now I have to "unlearn" the standard stick settings.

[@pictureworldphotography]

Doesn't take long to get used to the new settings. Cheers.

[@karl_okinawa]

This was a great tip. thanks

[@pictureworldphotography]

Your welcome. Cheers.

[@edwardciaia3448]

You are absolutely right. This is the way it should have been by default.

[@pictureworldphotography]

I'm glad you agree, it certainly is easier for me as a beginner in drones. Cheers.

[@billdahulk4653]

In an ideal world, the joysticks would have been setup like this from the get go! Ive moved into flying FPV along with my usual DJI consumer lite products (Mini 2 se, mini 4k, the old reliable Tello) and now the Neo. Happy flying!

[@pictureworldphotography]

Awesome, I gotta get out more and fly my drone, have been too busy lately though. Cheers.

[@ScottB-k7v]

Thank you - I'm a crappy RC pilot (heli & planes) & the stock setup seemed impossible. I'll mess around with it because I didn't know this existed. The idea of keeping the right hand on hori navigation makes sense.

[@pictureworldphotography]

I hope it helps with controlling your drone, it helped me as a beginner. The default set up to me was confusing me but this now makes it easier to control. Cheers.

[@ahmelmahay]

Would love to go through your video however any hint on how to get a full screen on an android phone? Still have not managed this and my phone is set to auto rotate.

[@pictureworldphotography]

I've just uploaded a video on how to do this, it will go live in about 4 hours from now, in it I explain how to set up your DJI Fly App to show full screen mode. Just make sure you have updated to the latest firmware and then watch the video. Cheers.

[@Klaas_H]

@@pictureworldphotography Thanks. I found the problem which is an intermitted disconnection from the controller. I ordered a replacement USB port for my phone.

[@pictureworldphotography]

@@Klaas_H Oh ok, my mistake as I thought you were just using the phone to control the drone. Good that you have sorted the problem though. Cheers.

[@Indy64738]

Hi! Let’s hope everyone doing so will never ever have the desire to fly anything else than a DJI drone in slow and stabilized mode. I fly anything that flies, helicopters, FPV quadcopters, different airplanes … if you want to know how to fly, if you want to fly fast, improve your skills, if you want to fly different stuffs, changing the commands of the sticks doesn’t seems to be a good advice… Choose your mode (there’s 4), stick to it, and get used to it. The mode 2 is the more polyvalent and the most used across the world and across the different platforms. Anyways, have fun 😎😎😎

[@pictureworldphotography]

If you've been flying drones for a while and comfortable with the controls then you shouldn't change but if you are new to flying drones and have difficulty with the controls then by all means try this way and see if it is easier, your choice. Thanks for your input. Cheers

[@paulstross4476]

This was a great tip. I found it easier with the controller, BUT when you return to using the smartphone in manual mode, the on screen 'pseudo-joystics' revert to the default modes. So switching between the two methods requires different actions. That's a shame and a disadvantage?

[@pictureworldphotography]

Yeah it is a shame that you can't re-program the controls when only using your smartphone, maybe that's something that DJI could put in a future update. Cheers.

[@dannystiasny3891]

cool tip ty

[@pictureworldphotography]

Thanks, hope it helps you as it did for me. Cheers.

[@skairkrow9800]

I'm thinking about getting the Neo, with the RC-N3 controller, but I wanted the FPV experience. So will this work with the DJI N3 goggles? I know, you probably don't know, LOL.

[@pictureworldphotography]

Yes the N3 goggles are compatible with the Neo drone. Cheers.

[@liamw2334]

The dji goggles 3 and the n3 goggles work yeah but you won't be able to fly it with out the fpv controller 3 or the motion controller 3 you'd need 1 of those controller to use it with the goggles

[@pictureworldphotography]

@@liamw2334 I think that is correct, check on DJI's website for all compatibility on the Neo drone. Cheers.

[@skairkrow9800]

@@liamw2334 thanks thats the reply I was looking for.

[@tinetales-v.0217]

What phone are you using? Looks like an old model android, im using before my samsung s20 plus, but now the fly app are not working

[@pictureworldphotography]

Yes it is an older phone, Nokia 6.1 from 2018. I'm using it because the speaker in it is broken so I can't use it as my main phone, this happened a few years ago so I just kept it as a back up so now using it this way. Cheers.

[@tinetales-v.0217]

@pictureworldphotography do you have any idea why the dji fly apps now are not working on my phone (Samsung S20+?)

[@pictureworldphotography]

@@tinetales-v.0217 Sorry but I don't know why it wouldn't, my Nokia is older than your S20+ and it works. Did you get an update on your phone recently that sparked the fly app to not work?

[@Antase]

@@tinetales-v.0217 I don't know what you mean by "doesn't work", but check if you have enough space on your phone's memory. It would be good if there was at least 10GB of free space.

[@djxjdjdhdjd4020]

Planning to get the neo but I see some issues reported that its going crazy, flying away, and sometimes going out of control is this already fixed? or did you experience this too?

[@pictureworldphotography]

If you use the Neo with RC-N3 controller then you shouldn't have any issues with fly-aways as the connection is excellent, connection via using just your smartphone is limited because of the WiFi only connection. I haven't had much practice with it lately because of weather and work commitments but with the controller it works just fine. Cheers.

[@patrik720]

it goes crazy when it hovers on auto mode over water. The Neo uses sensors to calculate its distance to the ground, as these signals do not rebound well over water bodies, it basically stops to avoid going any further over the water. If this happens, turn on manual control on, and hover it back. no biggies but be weary when flying over water, ice or snow. The Neo is a marvelous drone for its price, great value for money.

[@pictureworldphotography]

@@patrik720 I've not yet taken it out over water but have seen a video on that scenario and they said to make sure that you have about 20 satellites for tracking and that should keep it in stable flight although I'd still be a little reluctant to fly over water unless it was absolutely necessary. Yes it is a great value drone. Cheers.

[@pictureworldphotography]

Glad you liked it, so many others have as well. Cheers.

[@canpin]

Never use a cellphone as your drone controller unless you’re in an open field. If the connection between your cellphone and the drone is lost, you won’t be able to recover or bring the drone back. This is especially risky if the drone is flying over water, cliffs, or tall trees. Without a connection, the drone will hover in place until its battery runs out, increasing the chances of losing it entirely.

[@pictureworldphotography]

@@canpin Exactly, that's why I purchased the controller. Cheers.

[@liamw2334]

Couldn't be more wrong it has return to home for a reason it's for the scenario if you lose video transmission and the controller would still be connected and he's not using Just his phone? It's a controller while using his phone as a monitor so how does that work exactly?

[@pictureworldphotography]

@@liamw2334 From what I understand when you fly it just with your phone you are limited to 30 metres away, correct me if I'm wrong. That's the reason I purchased the RC N3 controller and for the added signal connection and speed of the drone. Cheers.

[@liamw2334]

@pictureworldphotography your right he thought you were using you phone and the app but your using s controller aha but your right with the WiFi connection you have limited range, but the controller will give you more because of the ocusync 04

[@pictureworldphotography]

@@liamw2334 Yeah I'm fairly new to all this stuff with drones but I'm learning. Any help welcomed. Cheers.

[@liamw2334]

Why would you tell people to change their stick movements that would cause more confusion, even you just got confused trying a figure of 8 when trying to fly it 😂😂 it's set like that for a reason it's best for cinematic shots and easy for beginners it's like that for almost every drone for a reason

[@pictureworldphotography]

Well I'm still learning to fly this drone and I find it way easier to control with the joysticks this way and so do many others in the comment section. If the joysticks were meant to stay the way they send them from the factory then why do they let you change them in the settings page??? Everyone is different and this is meant for beginners who haven't flown a drone before, you are entitled to your opinion on this and the default obviously works for you so don't change them, I'm not telling everyone to change to this setting, just informing them that they have a choice. Thanks for your comment. Cheers.

[@slaveoptics]

Why not? Its an option...

[@liamw2334]

@slaveoptics if you prefer those settings then go for it 🤣

[@pictureworldphotography]

@@liamw2334 Exactly right, that's why they put them in the settings. Cheers.👍

[@pictureworldphotography]

@@slaveoptics That's right, it is an option not a requirement. Cheers. 👍

[@Dronesteve-72]

lol 😂 now there’s a man out of his depth trying to pretend he knows what he’s doing

[@pictureworldphotography]

Hey at least I'm out there trying and helping people with tips, this is something that I haven't seen anyone else explain. This at least gives me better control of the drone while I learn it, I've only had it a couple of weeks and had very little chance to fly it. Thanks for your comment though, it all helps. Cheers.

[@Noneyabusinessok]

I would say there is no such thing as an expert in drones. They still crashed them..and all had to start at the bottom. I have seen a few so called experts struggling, yet this man found one way of making it easier for himself. And decided to pass it on to others. He has also proved that an old dog no offence I am probably close to his age. That they can learn new tricks. And that the younger generation actually can learn from the older generations. He finds it easier, and I bet many others will find it easier. And as he said in the end. As he learns, yes he is learning and the more he plays the better he can be. By the way he is better than I and many others younger who have never tried to do this.

[@pictureworldphotography]

@@Noneyabusinessok Thank you very much for your kind words, yes I am still learning and hopefully I can find a few more tips for beginners like myself. Cheers.

[@Noneyabusinessok]

@pictureworldphotography I am a beginner, you and I are not a generation that grew up with this technology. You and I could probably take an old combustion engine apart and rebuild. But couldn't do some of these keyboard stuff

[@pictureworldphotography]

@@Noneyabusinessok True about the tech stuff growing up but I do like learning about computers and things like that, trying to keep up and not get left behind. Cheers.

[@Viseo3dp]

By doing this your not learning fly the right way and you have less control doing that you are not getting the mussel memory you need to have for better control people i have been flying drones for over ten years now and this is a recipe for disaster when you start to fly further away from yourself and the wind picks up learn using both stick for god sakes that why they are two sticks.

[@pictureworldphotography]

I am using both control sticks but I find it easier to control both forward/reverse and turn left/right via the 1 joystick. The left joystick I have programmed for up/down and move sideways. Each to their own, I find it easier this way but like I said I use both sticks just not all the time. Besides if the default way is the best and only way to fly a drone, then why do they give you the option of changing them??? Let people choose the best way to fly the drone themselves, I'm not telling them they should fly it this way, I'm letting people know there is an alternate way to use the joysticks. Thanks for your comment though, it's good to hear from drone pilots. Cheers.

[@Antase]

@@pictureworldphotography It's a waste of time to explain. Some people don't understand that not everyone has manual skills, the desire, time and inclination to learn the "only correct flying style". Perhaps in more professional applications, in some freestyle or FPV racing, this basic method of flying brings some benefits, but if someone wants to fly recreationally, let them do it in the way that is most comfortable for them. Personally, as a new person in this hobby, I will rather try to learn to fly the "correct" style, but I appreciate the video because this type of setting is indeed much more intuitive and easier to master, especially for people who are just starting out. Let's let people decide, especially since the manufacturer provides such an option.

[@pictureworldphotography]

@@Antase Thank you for your comment. Each to their own, right? whatever is easiest for each person. Cheers.
