To cancel a palm control takeoff, you can also just move your hand (the one holding it) and it will cancel with something like "can't take off, aircraft motion detected".

[@TheDroneCreative]

This video helped a lot. This video has many new tips which other youtuber dont tell

[@annlue1]

Went for a DJI neo and left with a Mini SE2. No regrets and way more fun and cheaper if you want remote

[@DoktorElmo]

More fun? I don‘t know about that, the FPV capabilities are literally non-existent with the Mini 2SE and I don‘t think there is anything more fun in the drone world than flying FPV :D it‘s fine for slow cinematic videos and pictures, but that‘s it. I‘d say in terms of fun factor the Neo is even more fun than my Mini 3 Pro, even though I can do better quality videos and pictures with the latter.

[@PedalhoundsTV]

​@@DoktorElmo would you recommend the Neo for follow me MTB clips? I have the air 2 s and it's a pain dragging the whole kit around, the neo looks so much easier due to size, would the video quality take a big backwards step?

[@caullla]

​@@PedalhoundsTV definitely no. You can't change sharpness without rc. With default sharpness settings quality is trash

[@grahamgardner54]

Is it possible to stick a Apple tag to the drone so it’s easy to find or is it too heavy then to fly properly

[@Micahs_stopmotions]

Yes you can buy a small air tag mount for the neo through other unofficial DJI accessories sellers

[@paullawrence8572]

Thanks once again Matthew as answered a few of my queries with it. Brilliant mate!👌👊

Whiles you posted the video I just got my dji neo

[@armandoferreira8790]

You can adjust the style with the Goggles3 too. I did the test with the G3 to see if the G3 settings were kept when Neo was set to the stand alone mode and they don't.

[@IanRalph-t7y]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@DungarooTV]

Great video buddy - I was wondering if there is a sway to control this drone through local wifi away from a remote location if I wake it up with verbal command so I can play around my house looking for things/checking on locked doors etc when I’m away from Home?

[@Peter-Lindsay]

I noticed that when the camera is set to pro so you can set exposure and shutter, the anti flicker doesn’t work, it states it will only work in auto.

[@sancak099]

thankyou so much,very introductive video,and l decided to buy dji neo.l think thats the best model.

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

Brilliantly useful tips as always, Matthew. I don’t have one but I’m so tempted. 👍

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

@cigarbearreviews I can’t see what the FAA would have any relevance anyway on copyright issues which I assume is what this is about. Also how does it matter what device you record something on? A group’s performance is presumably copyright no matter what and will get you a copyright claim strike or claim when a platform’s software detects it? I’ve never monetised anything so I’m not an expert, by the way, but I’ve had a couple of strikes after using my DJI Osmo hand held video camera. But nothing to do with DJI I guess.

[@pqlamzpqlamzpqlamzpqalzm5370]

I love your videos! ❤ Very informative! ☝🏼Can you also do a beginners guide with the new hoverair x1 pro or pro max pls. Can you compare it to the older X1 and Neo too. I just got X1 pro max yesterday. This is my first drone. I don’t want to make mistake since there is no insurance offered by 00 robotics unlike DJI. Thank you for helping us newbie’s. Hehe 🫡🤘🏼

[@joaoponces8005]

Hello and thanx for your videos Do you know why ii never have the STYLE function on my neo when with controoler?

[@drone_angles]

Awesome tips and tricks! Thank you!

[@TheDroneCreative]

Happy to help - thanks for watching!

[@richards2072]

Direction Track works fine for flying the Neo backwards ion front of you as long as you're walking in a straight line but if the path is curvey you'll some find it following from behind you again

[@TheDroneCreative]

I have noticed this happening a few times as well!

[@dandragon1st]

Orbit will jump from side to side

[@fredericfleury2953]

random question. What would be the payload you can carry w that drone. cheers

[@saypoiaje2445]

I am confident with all of your posts before. But this one is a bit late for me.... I went to a very beautiful beach last weekend. But I'm too scared to fly above the stunning water.... If i watch this earlier. I should capture those amazing moment....

[@eyemavic786]

Thanks bought my neo, fly more combo, cnt go wring with the price and bonus.

[@schofieldmoss4357]

That's interesting about the RTH when using the drone by itself or with the phone, because according to the website it states "Don't worry about returning home; when using palm takeoff or mobile app control, Neo will return to the takeoff point after completing it's course"

[@SailingWithDave]

Hi Matthew. Many thanks for the video. This little drone is certainly peaking my interest. One question I have is, if you launch the drone from a moving platform, in my case a boat, and you use the buttons for a quickshot, say do a "Dronie". When returning, will the drone come back to you/your hand, even if moving or will it get stuck somehow? The boat would only be moving at walking pace. I'm concerned that on my MIni 3 Pro when doing a Dronie and going out 80M or so, it often loses the tracking and relies on the GPS marker to come back. I could have moved 20-30M by then.

[@TheDroneCreative]

Hey Dave! I noticed during my dronie tests that the drone returns to its launch point instead of following me to where I've moved. I think it's because, like you said, it switches to a GPS marker and stops tracking.

[@SailingWithDave]

@@TheDroneCreative Cheers for that. On less windy days it would be awsome to launch this to follow my little sailing dinghy as its hard to recover the Mini 3 Pro with the sails and strouds etc everywhere. But if it doesn;t come to you then I would be concerned. I guess you could always manually fly it back, like I di now in a way.

[@jan-of-finland]

I finally got DJI NEO with RC-N3 and while impressive, it’s a bit disappointing that it isn’t possible to shoot video without EIS cropping majority of the sensor size, so you aren’t able to get true 4K resolution. Although in technical specs DJI claims that shooting in 4:3 would always disable the EIS, there isn’t such an option when controlling with RC-N3 or the smartphone. Although the photos taken seem to be 4:3, they will still be stabilized, cropped and upscaled to fake the 12MP resolution. Apparently these settings are available only with the Goggles N3, but I haven’t tested this, as I didn’t buy this drone to fly in FPV.

[@wout1949]

When can we sea your test on the DJI osmo action 5.

[@TheDroneCreative]

Working on it currently! Should be out soon!

[@marieta.s]

Is there a manual for us people who never owned a drone before but we are considering getting the neo as our first drone? It seems that there are so many things we need to know!

[@TheDroneCreative]

I definitely recommend checking out my beginner's guide that I just published on my channel! It covers everything you need to know.

[@marieta.s]

Is there a link in the description?

[@jellebigge]

Great channel! Thanks for another 'vadeo' 😉

[@TheDroneCreative]

haha, you are welcome!

Great video, and nice locations 😊👏👏 where do you live? 🤔

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thank you. Northern Ireland!

[@trialface]

Can you take photos with the drone or only videos are available?

[@FilipRadelic]

You can take photos manually with your phone or controller, or in Spotlight mode by standing still.

[@seanolley6536]

Will the neo work with my mini 3 pro controller.

[@runebjergsted5808]

hi, a technical question, can I use the electronics in the dji mini see the dji mini 2 mvh rune in advance thank you very much.

[@fardeenbeharry]

Thank you 😊

[@TheDroneCreative]

You're welcome!

[@davidwarren9204]

Another question (for your next video maybe): Does the 'face recognition' take-off feature work if the operator is (eg) wearing a helmet/hat/goggles, etc...?

[@jasonsadernas7740]

Is the beeping feature also present using Fly App and/or RC3?

[@abinroy4647]

HELLO , Luv your contents, i have a question , if we are flying the neo with smartphone only, can we fly without the human subject, i mean for shooting cars and other objects?

[@henrichandrew]

Ofcouse you can, This DJI Neo actually designed for flying with or without any controllers, such as smartphone or DJI RC. Because it has many flying option buttons on its body (I remember 6 flying options), so you can fly it freely without the controller, but it must based on human subject tracking. This why, this Aircraft ( DJI mention their flying properties with "aircrafts" instead of drones) called V log Drone, because it is first time a DJI aircraft model can fly without controller. If you use controller, you can operate it normally like other DJI aircrafts and no need human subject tracking.

[@Ballynoes]

A question I can't find the answer to, is....what is the distance from the RC N3 controller it will fly, still having control of course. And will you still be able to see the camera view on your smart phone attached to the controller. And just for comparison - how far from your mobile only can you control it.

[@berniecooper-h2l]

Thanks for the video support your like a drone big brother lol. As a novice and only using DJI software is there an easy AI drop your clip and photo movie maker for beginners? Also if you clip edit a shot on iPhone it’s unusable in DJI clip maker? Have you done a movie maker one yet? Thanks bro

[@surveyact]

Will I be able to hand launch and hand land the NEO if using controller to fly? Or switch to controller mode even after taking off with self flying mode?

[@kevinmcbrierty9581]

How do you adjust hight and distance for stuff like spotlight and follow ??

[@riclaw3309]

Haven't heard, maybe missed this, anyone mention the neo providing audible low battery alarm(s). This would be, one would assume, a very useful feature when plam launched. Say, 50%, 25%, 10%. Great job with content.

[@basketball4dummies]

Can you fix the sharpness image by using a ND filter

[@abelo6727]

What happens if during follow mode someone else gets in the scene? Could neo follow someone else?

[@Limberry_hau]

Ur video are the most informative

[@xCHOPP3R]

I hope they add some Neo features to the Avata 2, like using the RC2 controller to fly it like a normal dji drone. Sometimes i dont want to wear the goggles.

[@TheDroneCreative]

Yeah, this would be nice to see!

[@leocha6571]

May I ask u that how to add TIME STAMPS on video n picture when recording video n taking picture?

[@theMr.K]

Can you fly it with motion 3 remote without the googles …?? (I just want access to the camera functions like sharpness, iso etc)

[@Butchyboysadventures]

[@erdemyldz6260]

Hello, can smart follow modes be used via remote control and phone? Or is it only used via button on drone? So can we use it via the phone we connect to the remote control like in the Mavic series?

[@henrichandrew]

Either you flying with its physical button, Smartphone or DJI RC, the all flying modes can be used.

[@ecki7128]

Next month there are coming new dji goggles n3 for a cheaper price and they can be paired with all the drones

[@EsteemHeadshots]

Can I adjust the height (I know distance can be adjusted) when l'm in circle mode using only the phone app?

[@cstephen98]

Biggest problems are , IMHO, is the lack of camera controls and return-to-home when using the phone app. Mind you, I'm hoping for updates to add the features since they're available to all the other controllers.

[@walkerandwilliam]

Here’s a question . If you borrowed a controller and reduced the sharpness would it stay that way when using just your phone or the quick thingys ?

[@FilipRadelic]

He answered that in the video. It's a no.

[@lynsmith1096]

Good tips

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thank you!

[@V2_the-rizzler]

Can you make it so that the footage is saved to the camera roll and not the drone itself

[@Mrjackye19]

What if while the neo is following you then you’ve come across with random person will it still follow you or it might follow those random person?

[@flashy696969]

Of course, it will always follow a good looking woman ! 🤣😂

[@PaulvanDruten]

Flashing & beeping can be engaged with the phone only mode. It's in the Profile under Find my drone!

[@stehume]

Hi, hoping you can offer some help, and im sure that it will also help many other subs as well. I have a mini 4 pro here in England, I wish to travel to Spain but need an easy licence and so on. Im not sure what part of Ireland you are in, as you maybe in the eu still could you put up a link to your site to get the licence and app id. I have searched so much but have come away with nothing at all tbh. Im sure that it. im sure that it would also make a great video for you, so many people in the same position as me, the best I got was to get the licence on the island website as easy to follow being in English. many thanks

[@frutotrelampampinos]

what about the controller from DJI Mini 3 with the inbuilt screen[i have one] is it compatible?

[@adventurewithkids]

No

[@morphears79]

As a clearly top level Drone pilot with all the same kit as me, why is the RC2 not hitting the Avata 2 when a pocket change Neo can...I have a Mini 4, Avata 2 and Neo....tried all your tricks and the Neo still looks ahem...I have a 1ds mk 4 and sorry even you get a hue around you (moving subject) why is that, 4k 30....would the general user be better 1080p with all the options? Please feedback. 🙏

[@MiguelCastro67]

So I have a question that hasn't even been asked yet out there (I think). I have both the Neo and the X1 (and a mini 4 pro) and I get the usage scenarios for each, believe me. But I find the Neo always being compared to the X1, and the X1 remains my goto "selfie (or group photo) drone". As far as stills are concerned (which is really what a selfie is), the X1 will take a still shot automatically when it's pointing at you and you (and your group) just remain still for a second. No gestures needed and certainly no manual phone action needed. I can't find where the Neo has something like this. Am I missing something?

[@nicks231988]

Hi bro, how can I change height or take it to a higher Altitude in 360 circle mode??? The default height on circle mode is too low

[@henrichandrew]

Yes, you can do it with your smartphone via DJI Apps

[@DanpeterKramar]

Thank you for your tutorials and demos. Valuable stuff once you're off the ground. Getting off the ground with this ' cheap' DJI is a part that is skipped over by all reviewers however. For a newbie to the DJI environment it is frustrating to find that you also need a phone or apple device AND it has to be able to download the flyapp. Not all new phones are compatible. For a complete beginner this is not obvious at this price point. Took 2 days and an old ipad finally to download the app but then you still can't fly unless the ipad also supports cellular....not just wifi. $199 drone becomes a lot more expensive if you actually want to use it. This is a real failure on DJIs part. Thanks for letting me gripe. Keep up the good work.

[@MsadeghAhmadi]

❤👍👍👍👍

[@VillageAerial]

Excellent video, as always, but one question: If I pair my RC2 controller with the Neo, when I finish flying it and want to go back to my Mini4 Pro, are the settings (gimbal speed, ISO, RTH altitude, etc) retained for that drone, even though I may have changed them while paired with the Neo?

[@flame074axoneme]

So I have Mini 4 Pro and Neo. Usually I set my resolution to 1080p 60FPS, but every time I switch it to neo, It became 4K 30FPS automatically. I haven't checked other settings though

[@balcopc]

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thank you!

[@hiluxmonstertruckgleno6276]

Is it possible to take neo off from the ground and not the palm ?

[@TheDroneCreative]

Yes, but only if using it paired with a smartphone or controller!

[@mikeunderwater1]

What is the Auto Pilot function you can preset on the Fn function button on the Radio controller? Is possible to fly by waypoints using Neo and RC? Haven't found not a line about it. Thank you!

[@ninjadrones]

No waypoints using Neo...

[@grossi46]

Hi. Did you see the question I asked you in your last video buddy. Hi buddy. At 34:03 you mention pressung your phone screen to lock the exposure. Are you using IOS or ANDROID?. As on my android device it doesn't work. I appreciate your feedback before I contact Dji 👍

[@TheDroneCreative]

Hey! When your phone is connected to the RCN3 controller, you can lock the exposure by pressing and holding on the screen. If that doesn't work, you can assign the exposure lock to the FN button in the settings menu under 'Control' and use that instead. Hope this helps!

[@helmski]

Can you fly it indoors? (Hockey rink)

[@ajaybangi]

Physically it can. Need to be more careful with the surrounding & check whether its allowed

[@helmski]

@@ajaybangi The rink is a perfect environment to fly and get some cool follow shots. The rink is OK with video.

[@rufuscollis303]

Here's a tip. Don't fly it too close to the ground on the beach by the water. My new Neo should hopefully arrive in a couple of days

[@TheDroneCreative]

Oh no! Sorry to hear that!

[@philoupc2239]

I wonder if it would be possible to attach an Air Tag to the Neo so if you lose it you have more chances of finding it ! Thanks for the video ! Just got my Neo today but unfortunately I cannot test it cause it's pouring rain here in Montreal :(

Super confused between neo and mini 4k. Please let me know.

[@TheDroneCreative]

[@ronsuriano]

Has ANYONE tested the Neo to see if it will follow a VEHICLE (car) at slow speeds? I’ve scoured KZbin and can’t seem to find anything! I get mine on Thursday, so I guess I’ll find out sooner or later. Great video, as always. 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thank you! Unfortunately I haven't been able to get it to follow a car!

[@ronsuriano]

@@TheDroneCreative Thanks for the reply… I get mine tomorrow, so I guess I’ll give it a workout and see what happens! Damn DJI… LOL! 🤣

[@lastonmars3566]

Things i want: 1. Make the camera incline (to move like an fpv) 2. Make it go faster with controllers (not RC3). It only goes 28kmh on S 3. Let people pair it with older controllers (for Avata 2 they did it for motion c2) 4. Add 2.7k 60fps 5. I find it very anoying when you low on battery (30%ish) the drone will automatic RTH in 10 sec and if you are not careful and you are somewhere in the woods, bye bye. Bet they are more, but hey, what do we want from a 200$ drone?

[@SkydiveToma]

Nice one! Hoping for these to come with future updates! 🤞🏽 I also would like to see flat color profiles for better editing, pro controls in the mobile app (like sharpness, exposure lock, iso etc) and 4:3 video.

[@TheSonsOfSimon]

Best list of wants! 60 FPS would be the most killer add imo.

[@retrovideobox]

How does neo perform with multiple people around in tracking subject

[@IanTed]

It needs to see the handler before it takes off, the camera looking towards you, it doesn’t get confused with bystanders…

[@Craig92276]

Are you able to use the motion controller 3 without the goggles?

[@armandoferreira8790]

No, you need the Goggles3 turned on because the connection from the MC3 to the Neo is done through the G3. However, you can fly the Neo VLOS looking at the drone and not to the G3 but the G3 has to be turned on to make the connection between the MC3 and the Neo.

[@colinheffell6698]

Great content. Never knew you could change from one quick shot to another in mid flight 😊

[@markusher6692]

The app won't work on my phone ,is it my phone

[@crackaopen3684]

you can stop take off by shaking it. DJI neo cannot take off when there is movement in you palm/drone itself. so when i want cancle take off, i just tliting my palm or moving it,
