Will DJI NEO Keep Up with Your Skiing?

[@chiarap528]

A very interesting video, highlighting an aspect that has so far been overlooked (the Follow option on snow). Thank you, Amazing!

[@MarioFahrleitner]

A very nice video. Good mix. The Quality of the video is very good. I remember in the early days of the neo the quality was not good.

[@alextan75]

Thank you very much!

[@KiettoQuasi]

Thanks Bro! Hope they improve the follow skills..

Grazie! Bel video, complimenti

[@Droneggia]

Awesome and interesting

[@Gordon-nk7uq]

Thanks for this

[@richanderson5659]

Really useful to see, thank you. More successfully than the last attempt. I’m still not sure it’s entirely speed related, NEO has tracked people in other sports at faster speeds than you appear to be traveling. I still suspect there’s still a distance factor (which increases the more you descend down the slope) and I wonder if NEO then struggles to assess height reference looking down at bright white snow with no apparent texture due to snows brightness? Not very practical but I wonder if it would be more successful when attached to a remote, as autonomous mode or DJI Fly app is only a 50m range with Bluetooth connection. Might be worth a test? Hopefully DJI will tweak its capability. Only through real world tests like yours do we get to understand what it can and can’t do. On the whole it’s still very capable and you have some nice footage. Shame you can’t just ski and forget it given you have to be constantly thinking about whether it’s lost you or not which must be distracting!

@@richanderson5659 Hi, and thank you for commenting. I agree with your analysis, unfortunately I don't have a compatible rc to test. But it would be interesting. I the next days I'll try again, stay tuned!

[@sonia.destefanis]

Well done bro

[@cingramuk]

Interesting tests, following seems a bit too jerky but it is only a little drone so maybe we are expecting too much. Where in Sauze was this? I went last year but mostly stuck around Sportinia due to bad snow conditions and weather. I don't recognise the runs/area. Is the snow currently good? I'm looking at going out again in 3 weeks.

[@alextan75]

@@cingramuk this was in Claviere and monginevro area, that you can reach by ski from sauze

[@Lippotommaso]

Grazie, volevo acquistarlo ma penso che andrò su hover air x1 pro

[@Dronezena]

Grazie

[@bernisboardshow]

Thanks for this video! Could have been perfect for me but it seems to me that the drone just can‘t keep up.

[@alextan75]

we need to push on dji forums to ask dji to improve via fw upgrade

[@ClaudioBonora]

Interesting test in the snow, did you by any chance use filters?

[@alextan75]

No this is all with no filters. I also have a mini2 and an Avata1. I have filter for mini2 only, O use them in bright days, honestly I'm not sure you need them on Neo. I would prefer to lower the sharpening instead, but you can only to that with RC (that I don't have, and unfortunately rc-n1 of mini2 is not compatible, yet... DJI?)

[@Droneflyer654]

Molto bello!

[@Muschietta19]

Grande! 🎉

[@Emaquarantacinque]

Grazie per i test.. hai la versione con RC? Magari facendo active track con quello sarebbe meglio? Devo provare...

[@alextan75]

No ho preso la versione base, perchè ho anche un Avata1 con Integra e Motion2, spero davvero che DJI li renda compatibili. Senza dubbio con RC, guidando il drone la velocità aumenta. In altri video sul mio canale vedrai dei follow verso amici fatti guidando il drone con il motion... decisamente meglio... ma se vuoi un drone che ti segue in autonomia penso che l'unica soluzione ad oggi sia l'Hover Air X1 Pro (Max). Non ho visto video decenti nemmeno con Air3s o Mini4pro in follow sulla neve... E poi vediamo il Flip quado esce..

[@Emaquarantacinque]

@@alextan75 grazie per info, il NEO con RC già ce l'ho, devo solo trovare una giornata senza troppa gente in pista per fare le prove, ma andando i weekend sarà dura 😅

[@Dronesauze]

Bello grazie

[@hiddengemsmedia6911]

I experienced exactly the same when trying to follow my friends on the slope. Work for 300m than it's loosing the track and stops

[@alextan75]

It's likely due to the speed, as far as I've undestood so far... I was skiing very slowly but as soon as I tried to speed up a little, he stopped, switching to spotlight. This means that he could still track me, but gave up due to firmware limitation! We need to push on dji support and forum to improve it..

[@ALX-I]

It's moving too much left right to get a nice video. Unless skiing more stretch front perhaps...
