Cool video, Im going to tqake my wife out and let her play with the Neo, she wasnt interested in my Mini 3 Pro but the Neo both her and my daughter fancy having a go. I hope to get them interested so when we go out they are not bored when Im having a blast with my drones.
Thanks! According to my girlfriend-and now Alexandra-both of them are hooked after just one flight! Flying feels like playing a real-life VR video game. 🎮 I think the Motion Controller combined with the Goggles N3 makes a huge difference. My girlfriend had previously tried flying with a standard drone remote and wasn’t impressed at all. But there’s something about being fully immersed in the drone’s perspective through those goggles-it really gives you that bird’s-eye view experience!
On the phone you’ll be using to connect to the goggles just download the DJI fly app. Once you connect to the goggles the app should automatically recognize it and then I believe you just hit “go fly” and it starts displaying the live view from the goggles.
When using the motion controller, you can activate head tracking to control the camera angle dynamically. This allows you to tilt the camera up or down(if you look up or down) and adjust the horizontal direction of the drone (left or right) simply by moving your head. If flown with one of the full manual fpv controllers you can adjust the camera angle to your preference. Additionally, you can adjust the camera angle using a smartphone or other remote controllers.
I thought the visuals were fairly dramatic! great video. I'd be afraid to have her fly over the water for the first time. but she did so well! just wish the motion flymore combo was available here in the U.S.. it would be about $560.00 including tax if bought separately.
Thanks! 🙏 I wasn’t too concerned about flying over that area since I’d been doing it all morning. As for the price, it’s actually a great value when you consider the quality of these products compared to other options on the market. Plus, you can add DJI insurance for a small fee, which allows you to get replacements at a significant discount if you crash or lose the drone.
Have been Looking at drones for my little boy (6yrs old) for Xmas, your video helped lots. Thank you Have just ordered him the NEO Motion FPV Flymore combo kit with the N3 goggles and Motion controller Temped to get myself the Avata2 kit………… must resist lol
That is so awesome! Congratulations! Once it arrives if you have any questions feel free to reach out. One of the first hurdles you will have is updating the firmware on the drone, goggles, and remote. There are some channels here on UA-cam that guide you through.
I’ll also be making a video about Neos video quality and how to improve it with a few steps. Keep an eye out for that one coming up soon. I’m just waiting on a good weather day here in Taipei to film it.
I noticed at the end of the video you had a GoPro Attachment on top of the Neo, how do you find it weight wise and flying with GoPro attached , would an insta 360x4 work on it too?
Good observation! The DJI Neo can carry around 50g and still fly, but heavier action cameras like GoPros are too much for it. I’m using the Insta360 GO 3s, which weighs about 39g, plus a small mount setup that brings it close to 50g. While the Neo can technically carry more, what really matters is how well it handles the extra weight in flight. From my experience, even light wind makes the Neo wobbly, so this setup works best in calm conditions-think sunrise, sunset, or true no-wind moments. That said, I’ve found it’s better to use ND/PL filters (like those from Freewell) to control exposure directly on the Neo’s camera. The added weight of the GO 3s doesn’t justify the slight improvement in video quality, especially since it drastically reduces flight time by draining the battery much faster. On top of that, it’s hard to get the right angle when the drone is in motion due to its speed and tilt. Keep it light for the best results!
Happy to help. I’m trying all of this out so you don’t have to waste your time. I think in certain situations the go3s could be better. Especially if you add ND/PL filters onto it. But it really does weigh down the Neo.
You shouldn’t have any issues. Just check the areas you’re going to on the DJI fly app. Some areas require unlocking(ex. downtown xinyi). But a lot of beautiful terrain to fly with no restrictions. 👍🏼 weather can be questionable around this time of year. Let me know if you have more questions. I have some recommendations if you’d like.
Cool video. Nice seeing FPV flying being taught. In Europe, you can’t let others use the NEO as you need to have a UAS Operators License (due to it having a camera). I have just got this. Not sure if I will get the FPV setup as you can only fly within line of sight (unassisted). There are a lot more restrictions on use here than in the U.S. I will still enjoy using the drone with the remote. Thanks for the video 😊
Thanks! It’s true-everywhere seems to have its own rules and regulations. What I appreciate about sub-250g drones is how much more lenient the laws are compared to drones over 250g. They’re definitely fun to use, though I have to admit, the goggles can feel a bit bulky compared to just flying my Mini 3 Pro.
@@codylander sadly in Ireland they have even restricted sub 250g drones by saying you need a licence for drones 250g or over OR if it has a camera for recording (which pretty much covers ALL drones). They make sure they get their money ! 😔
@strider6920 yeah, that applies to the whole UK, so I have to pay I think it was £11.49 monthly for an operator ID, and always have it in line of sight.
Thanks! Absolutely, you can! The start/stop recording button will be covered by the palm of your left hand, but you can also easily reach it with your right thumb or index finger to start and stop recordings. I’ve been using two hands to fly recently. It seems like I can relax the main hand a little bit as the extra hand supports it. So much fun! 🤩
You're right, the Avata 2 is great and they've definitely made the neo a bit more beginner friendly. I think Neo is for dipping your toes in to test the water before going all in on a set up like avata 2.
@ Yes. I’m new to this and having difficulty wrapping my head around it. I guess what I’d really like to see is a side-by-side with the drone on one side of the screen and hand movement on the other. A much more basic video Ive been searching for.
@@GregHarlow1 That’s great! Really do appreciate the feedback! Give me a couple of days and I’ll try to get this made specifically for you. Any other questions or things I could demo in this video for you?
Good teaching!

How do you send line N3 Googles footage to the phone for spectator?
On the phone you’ll be using to connect to the goggles just download the DJI fly app. Once you connect to the goggles the app should automatically recognize it and then I believe you just hit “go fly” and it starts displaying the live view from the goggles.
Nice video! Can you change gimbal camera down and up with the controller?
When using the motion controller, you can activate head tracking to control the camera angle dynamically. This allows you to tilt the camera up or down(if you look up or down) and adjust the horizontal direction of the drone (left or right) simply by moving your head. If flown with one of the full manual fpv controllers you can adjust the camera angle to your preference.
Additionally, you can adjust the camera angle using a smartphone or other remote controllers.
How do you cancel the RTH ?
When the “RTH” notification pops up there is a small “x” button that you can push on the screen of the remote to cancel it.

Subbed the channel 👍🏼 well done
Thanks for tuning in! More videos on the way! 2025 ill be committing more to UA-cam videos like this. 👍🏼
Thank you for amazing video. What is on the top of the drone?
That is a mount for the Insta360 Go 3s. I had been testing that camera vs the Neo’s camera.

HI wow im actually going to taiwan soon. how are the drone laws there? Any advice? I have a neo and mini 3 pro as well as avata

@ShaunyRoo it is all very serious now. Sort of takes the fun out of it, but I understand the reasons for it.
Nice video! Can you use the motion controller whit the left hand?
Thanks! Absolutely, you can!

@@codylander Great! Thanks 👍👍
Let me know if you have any more questions! 😎
I just got it and so much fun
Right? It’s a blast! I love that basically anyone can fly it and get great shots.
Now ask to use fpv controller 3. I still can’t lift off in manual lol
I'm about to order that same controller. I made sure to get DJI Care Refresh because I'm sure I'll crash the Neo once I graduate from the simulator.
Nice Mansplaining
Thanks 🙏🏻 Really appreciate your feedback.
The avata 2 is better in every way. Performance, durability, flight time, camera quality, etc. I can how this could be a bit more beginner friendly
You're right, the Avata 2 is great and they've definitely made the neo a bit more beginner friendly. I think Neo is for dipping your toes in to test the water before going all in on a set up like avata 2.
Of course the avata is better but 3 times the price 😬
@@mirafly2007 exactly. However I’m sure the future is bright when it comes to fpv options from DJI. 😉
I’d prefer you switch the video so I can see what she’s doing with her hand/controller.
Thanks for the feed back. 🙏🏻
Do you mean you wish there was a close up on her hand/remote while flying?
@ Yes. I’m new to this and having difficulty wrapping my head around it. I guess what I’d really like to see is a side-by-side with the drone on one side of the screen and hand movement on the other. A much more basic video Ive been searching for.

Left and Right coaching was bad. it's tilt, not twist. BIG thing for a first timer.
Thanks for you valuable feedback. 🙏
