Had it out in the fells today and it was brilliant 👍 been flying for 9 years, build FPV, fly FPV, fly camera drones. It's fun, follows me on runs, perfect for my use case. 👍👍👍

People are expecting $1500 performance from a $200 drone. Spoiled

[@ninjadrones]

This is a nice drone, but is not for me now. I'll wail next version or gen... a Neo Pro or Neo 2...

[@KaioshinAemi]

Dji just need to do a firmware update that’s all. It’s a software can be fixed easily

[@DesertCharleyVideos]

Yet another Done Hoarder comparing the Neo to his high-end drone collection. Folks... it is a simple flying tripod, nothing more. It's $199, duh. Use it for its strong points because IT IS NOT a $1500 drone.

[@ELROCKETEER]

exactly

[@AlonzeProductions]

I agree. Stop thinking of it as a drone with a bad camera and battery and start thinking of it as a very advanced toy with a great camera and range for the price

[@SJMDronesMedia]

Just what do people expect from the cheapest DJI Drone, unbelievable, I don’t see anything at the same price point that’s even close to it , I don’t own the Neo.

[@ozner1981]

well its $200 alone in is howmmuch is the mini 4k with control? $279 now something i agree with you people expect to be a avata2 with mini 4 pro and also a hover x1 at the same time PEOPLE this is a selfie drone with the caoability to conect to a control and googles that doesnt make it a true versatile do it all drone!!

[@mckayz33]

They never own Tello😅😅

[@chriscflint]

A few things I do not agree with. 1. Image quality, I have a 5K 27" screen to view on and my TV is a 65" and the image is as good as any other DJI drone I have, colour and sharpness can of course be adjusted to suit personal preferences. Your videos prove this again. 2. Battery life, I get easily 14 minutes irrespective of how I fly it and that is with the prop guarsds on, I have many videos to proove this. Overall it is for sure the most advanced drone DJI have made. Thanks for the review.

[@MohammadPoliceBeUponHim]

remember this is a selfie drone not for a cinematic drone

[@davidmaynard9325]

It's a cheap drone, good within It's limitations, it's not a full-blown high end dji. The lifting up issue in windy conditions is quite a common problem with ducted whoop type quads. I've experienced it many times flying fpv. Calm conditions only !

[@adhamskakini3208]

I finally bought it. It's fun for entertainment and helps with a few things

[@santanubiswas5354]

[@allanmumby]

Good grief, $339 in Australia, what do you want bloke, Its a damn good Drone for its price, you want something better Buy it

[@RayRay-zc2ed]

My number 1 reason why I haven’t purchased a Neo is because it won’t work with goggles and controller 2 or the RC1. It looks like a good little drone to fpv around the outside of the house and practice going through small gaps. Also for the kids to start with. As far as video quality I think it should be 4K 60 so it isn’t so skippy, but if I was concerned about quality video I would use my mini pro 3 or avata.

[@LegacysAngelTransportation]

Why compare it to a Mini 4 pro? Wouldn’t it be closer to the Mini 4K?

[@sinister4lyf]

Thanks for giving time to drive far just to test everything.

[@shanehann1008]

Correction. Just happened to me over water with controler controlling it. As you I was lucky too and it crashed over a roof of a restaurant beside the ocean. Came off the roof and landed on the concrete ground. Drone was fine. I was lucky. I hope they fix this issue!!

[@saysoptimus9884]

Привет! Подскажите.. каждую функцию можно настраивать в плане качества видео , резкость,экспонирование или автоматически всё??

[@edendunes]

I'm not sure what you are on about. Brilliant small drone. Well worth it.

[@xkr510]

This is my first drone. I bought it with a controller (rc3) to learn how to fly a drone with a controller. Mini 4 pro or something after that ONCE I AM COMFORTABLE. Don’t care about camera details/battery strength

[@go-explore]

What do you expect from a £170??? So far for the money been an excellent purchase, still wouldnt leave home without my mavic 3 but we all know the difference......

[@julianmclean3869]

Great perspective on the Neo!; only one other reason not to buy .........the noise!; extremely loud and annoying; hopefully will be addressed with different props!

[@thewebstylist]

Thanks for the honest vid, yes the lack of video quality, the shaky follow modes and my Mini2 RC not being compatible all kept me from getting this

[@abdulazizibrahim1556]

Yeahh because you are anti chinese product exactly.

[@JackSparrowSoul]

I do not expect the Neo will perform like 1500 dollars toy, but expect to be at least on the level of the recent technology, and not a "business lego" mode for DJI company! I have to spend at work three days of my life to be able to buy this toy itself, not talking about the upgrades!

[@franka2817]

Great video! Question-I have the original DJI air…can its controller be used with the NEO?

[@smoggydrones5664]

This is a close range drone !!! Anything else I get my mini 4 out. People are getting carried away and asking to much of this wee drone. Beginners should buy a mini not a Neo

[@christopheledan7793]

I would be interested in a cheaper Mini with automatic functions (without remote) like the Neo.

[@smoggydrones5664]

@@christopheledan7793 I think the neo 2 pro should have obstacle avoidance and a better camera and better battery life. As long as they keep it under 250 grams. Only problem the price would double or treble.

[@Psysso]

Mini is a grand, no beginner gonna drop that just to test drone flying.

[@PaulVoorberg]

0:52 -Can you elaborate on it doing fly aways when you fly over water? I don't get it, does it detect the water and try to fly away from it... What happens exactly and how does it work, and can it also fly away in the wrong direction i.e. towards the sea? I would like to be able to fly at least a little over water, even if just 5-10 meters. 5:34 - Footage shot with the drone, before and after color grade 7:00 - True battery life

[@aaronboydston3172]

yeah, what is that all about? If you fly over water, it will just fly away randomly?!?!

[@lexsteel12]

Why when I check the dji website. It has the fly more combo with no RC? I checked the included items, and it does say no remote. So why do I keep saying KZbin videos with people saying the fly more combo comes with the RC?

[@gksmith5072]

Depends on where you are in the world. The US market didn't get a combo with a controller.

[@mssippijim]

The sharpening has been addressed in the latest firmware update. Flying any drone above water is increasing risk a lot because it can fool sensors. If you actually know how to fly, it shouldn't be that much of a problem. Above water...fly higher.

[@andersonjpa]

This is my 5th DJI drone and it is by far the worst. Connecting it directly to your cell phone is a nightmare. To update the firmware you will need to use your mobile internet since the Wi-Fi will be busy when connected to the drone. If you, like me, only have an iPad with Wi-Fi only, you will not be able to use your drone unless you install the DJI app from outside the Android store, which I never do. The quality of the footage, despite being 4K, is on par with the Mini series. My iPad was not able to download the videos because the default codec is H265, my iPad only works with H264. Wind, at any intensity, will be a problem for the safety of the drone or for the quality of the footage because the gimbal does not stabilize horizontally. Smart modes can fail in such a way that the drone becomes completely out of control, so be very careful.

[@LittlePandaBabycorner]

dji mini 3 or neo ?

[@screamatthewind]

Their tech support recommends not flying the Neo indoors. They say it was meant for outdor use only even though their literature says otherwise. Mine loses visual tracking in full light and shoots straight into the wall at times. Strange because my DJI Mavic Mini budget drone works fine indoors. They seem to be using a similar sensor package.

[@Ro_zar_ka]

Are all of those sceneries shoot on dji neo? I mean those which has no text on screen. Or did you use in this video some another dron as well?

[@DarkStarSigma]

my Neo flew off on it's own into the river. wish I knew about the flying over water thing before it sunk. was using follow me mode. Just did a buyer beware video for anyone interested.

[@DesignerFluid]

Read the safety guidelines which come with the Neo and include that in your video too.

[@gregb1599]

You need the controller to safely fly over water. Unfortunately not an option for US consumers, unless you buy it separately or have a controller from say a mini 3 pro

[@santanubiswas5354]

I am planning to buy this drone (not the 3 battery combo one), I have never fly drone. Can anyone please answer these 2 questions? Q1. Does the drone includes charger? Q2. What's the max altitude we can fly?

[@RobHK]

It charges via usb-c cable which is also included. Max altitude 120m

[@santanubiswas5354]

[@ZonaRider]

es un dron selfie... eso es lo que es. que te den la opción de usarlo de otros modos es algo para agradecer! quieres 4k a 60 fps, gasta más dinero entonces!

[@hummerzdca]

I considered the Neo, though I’m plenty happy with my Avata 2 for FPV flying! Knowing that i could use my goggles, and controllers, not seeing much point in it. Also that I have the Hover X1, I’m considering their pro versions mostly because of familiarity, and that DJI copied its core features. Thanks for your posts!🇺🇸

[@GTrae68]

The controller is no longer shipping with the fly more combo😢😢😢😢 it has to be purchased separately.

[@Psysso]

Only for US.

[@cyclelaw9764]

I wonder why the commercial Dji has for that drone shows it flying over water

[@qrandle1]

They state not to fly over water, but there are water shots in some of their promo video?

[@NL0Gwenster]

No water for the automated shots, controlling it yourself it's fine.

[@UKBUBBLERS]

I can't wait for the neo 2, but it is a good drone for the price. My only gripe is that it takes 2 videos in the QuickShots. I hope they can fix this. Thanks for sharing rob. 😁👌👍 🇬🇧

[@1917VIL]

what is the weird artifacting around minute 4 chocked up to? Were you seeing that on your screen as your flew? Wonder if that would show up in the goggles...

[@mencibenci]

[@chickenporkadob0]

of course mini 4 pro will perform better. this drone is targeted to beginners that's into posting videos on social media. the fpv and other features are just add on and just secondary purpose.

[@jonathanross2304]

Can't activate without the DJI app on the Google Play store. It's also not compatible with the Google Pixel. It's literally useless

[@MiyagisRant]

I was going to buy this but after watching multiple videos, I'm going to stick with my HoverAir X1 Pro, spec to spec, the X1 Pro is better and the folding feature was a big decision maker as I travel quite a lot. I might wait for NEO 2 as I have the Avata 2 with the goggles and motion RC which I wanted it for this NEO.

[@gregb1599]

Well that's to be expected at 3x the price! The Neo of course can go 400 feet high with the controller as well has RTH again with the controller and fly around 4000 feet in distance with the battery capacity

[@MiyagisRant]

@@gregb1599 that's what my avata2 is for, I didn't get the X1 pro so I can fly it like the Avata 2 and let's be honest from watching all the videos the 4K quality is not there with the Neo and I didn't pay twice the price or 3x for that matter unless you want the pro max. Here the Neo is $249, I got the X1 Pro for $399 CDN. For $150 the X1 Pro has a much better camera, more internal memory, expandable memory, foldable and from the looks of it much better tracking. You're right, it's cheaper, and those are the reasons for it 😉

[@MiyagisRant]

@@gregb1599 you also neglected to mention yes, it can fly 4000 feet ... For 2 minutes lol battery is also shorter so what's the point. Don't get me wrong, I almost pulled trigger on the Neo as I have the goggles 3 and motion RC, that's really the ONLY benefit I see from the NEO, all the user reviews are out, there are some serious issues with this drone, I'll wait for Neo 2 😉

[@gregb1599]

@MiyagisRant Well, good luck if you crash or lose your X1 as even my Neo has a crash and flyaway cover. The Neo is a toy, and I do not care about perfect video quality that will probably get fixed in an update. But losing a $170 drone and then getting it replaced for $70 is a lot less painful than the X1 pro with zero protection.

[@MiyagisRant]

@@gregb1599 I've had my original X1 for a year, never lost it never came close to losing it but that's not what it's design to do. Why I also fly my Avata 2 and M3P, different class drones, i'm not trying to merge the two together. I don't intend to fly my drone out of my sight, this is the point. You're trying to fly a 'toy' drone like a traditional drones and justify the price difference when the fact is that the hardware is completely apples to oranges lol anyways, let's just agree to disagree shall we? 🤣

When 4k televisions came out everybody rushed out to buy one because the picture was advertised as better than HD. So why are you moaning that the pictures straight out the Neo are too sharp ? If that's not what people want why make 4K televisions ?

[@CrepusculoDrone]

Boa noite, a razão pela qual ainda não o comprei é por não ser compatível com os goggles 2, mas parece me que pelo valor do Neo não se pode pedir muito mais. O que acho mesmo ridículo é não ser compatível com os goggles 2 tenho o Avata 1 e o DJI FPV e não tenho interesse em fazer o upgrade para os goggles 3. Não sabe se poderão fazer uma atualização para que seja compatível?

Flown mine a little more now, and I'm really pleased with it !! It's a flying snap camera, and very good for It's intended purpose of close range operation .
