Probably the BEST video on showing how to use the Neo in FPV mode so far. Every other UA-camr seems to try and be Mr Steele with it and then complains about it. People need to stop for a second and realise what they are watching here - a 135g "whoop" with O4 video and its range , and 10 mins flying. That is fantastic. Imagine what Neo 2 is going to be like! ( hint DJI - make it 249g and you will have an Avata mini! ).
It's equipped with O4 video transmission, but not the actual O4 video camera like the one from the Avata 2. The Neo camera is not even at the level of the O3 camera on the first Avata. The Neo uses a lower quality camera with a half inch sensor that provides very decent video for the price. But if the Neo had an O4 camera, it would have cannibalized sales from the Avata 2. We all WISH it had O4 video, and even O3 video would have been great. Maybe for the next version.
About the camera quality, DJI tweaked the sharpness to +2 by default, set it to -2 and the quality is back ;)
Hello my friend, how are you? Is it possible to do this same type of FPV flight by replacing the DJI goggles with the DroneMask 2 goggles? Will the NEO work in manual mode only with the FPV controller? I'm worried about whether it's possible to turn off the stabilization if I want to use the gyroflow later.
70 years old, got my Neo a week ago. I use the motion 3 RC and goggles N3, love it. My 9 year old greatgrandson, loves it to and flys it great.
A tiny whoop with this range and uptime? The quality of the camera??? I m sold!
IKR I'm seeing so many negative comments, but as someone who owns and flies 5-inch freestyle quads and has a fleet of tiny whoops (one whoop with an HD DJI camera), it only gets 2-4 minutes of flight time, has zero autonomous features, and costs WAY more (like $300-$350). I see this Neo here as a GREAT HD-style whoop for the price-to-performance ratio (minus the fact I can't use Crossfire, etc.).
My big complaint is that the cost of goggles and controller doesn't make this that much cheaper than the far superior Avata2. Smaller size/weight is only real advantage.
@@Phrancis5 Yes very true but at the Moment the Neo is more targeted at beginner fpv Pilots in the sense that it would be for a new pilot who's friends/parents etc. Already have the Googles 3 and the Motion controller.
There is also a rumour floating around that DJI will release a cheaper version of the Googles for the Neo that will cost around 250€ or so which would make a lot more sense as an entry level FPV package.
@@Phrancis5 It doesnt even cost half as much as the avata. The Motion fly more combo with goggles and the controller is around 500 bucks, the avata 2 with goggles and controller 1200.
@@DoktorElmo Look at my comment date. The N3 goggles wasn't released yet and this combo didn't exist when I made my comment. The Goggles 3 alone was already $500 + the motion controller + the Neo itself.
MAAAN! you are some pilot! my hats off to you. this is the best video since "the flight of the year".
Incredible. Can't wait for mine.
Had mine for two weeks and loving every moment of flying! Neo = amazing!!!
this is far best neo drone review ever.. NICE!
The DJI Neo is *THE* drone that almost everyone will want and be happy with it has so many features and its so cheap DJI made a good choice making this nugget of a drone
That's pretty cool. I can't wait to get my hands on Neo.
Ordered mine today. Gonna use it purely as a camera assistent looks great😊😊
SUCH FUN!!
As a fellow Near-Philly guy, I VERY much enjoy your vids!
My Neo (with Fly More) arrives tomorrow.
In addition to the MANY groovy sites here in Bucks County, I am VERY much looking forward to flying the SS United States, before it gets towed away to become an artificial reef in the Gulf of Mexico [*NOT* "America," ferchrissakes!!].
This looks amazing. I think this will be my next purchase, great video as always 👌
Love the way the occusink bends the signal so you can pop out of sight
Great flight as usual. Kudos Billy!
This one decide me to buy this drone wow!
Manual mode is the only way.... It's a big learning curve though but so worth it. FPV pilot since 2016 here.
Nice little video and a great location. No bs at all
Best review on UA-cam right now 👌
What did the people want?! Great video of manual flight with the Neo!
Looking at the criticisms online people wanted 4k/120fps D-log full frame sensor, more speed, agility and battery life than the Avata 2 with included goggles and remote for $200. Seeing all of the negative reviews show you how out of touch some people are.
I would assume to ask him why he is trespassing on their property in a construction zone.
@@raider1284 exactly, there was a lot $ in materials sitting there.
Billy, great flight with the Neo in manual. I was looking forward to you flying underneath the moving train, it would have been a fantastic maneuver, maybe next flight!
8:51
h’day Billy, very well done. Ordered mine from Australian Amazon last night gor delivery today. I will use my goggles-motion stick & screen controller so hopefully they connect. I would love to have seen you go thru the empty tunnel🤪 main use for the Evo will be to film my RC aircraft flying on our beach for the youtube vlog
Thank you . A great presentation
🇦🇺🪃🦘
Nice! Great video! Looks like a lot of fun! Thank you!😊
I was just watching another Neo review where he’s demonstrating some pretty wild moves but didn’t include the video from the Neo. This video on the other hand clearly shows the difference between a regular drone video shot by a Mini 4 Pro and the Neo. The Minis just do not have the agility to do what the Neo does👍😄
Personally I want this portability, but, image quality is the 'main' consideration for me. I have the mini pro 3 which produces the quality I want (10 bit).
I am hoping for a Neo Pro version in the future.
ordered mine, now gotta wait till October to get it
Yo Billy
Should have flown though the tunnel where the train was coming out bro 😎 🤘🏻
@@Ninvus2 well jus flew a little ways then flew back out again
Youre video strat me thinking that I should reconfigure switches in my fpv radio to have angle mode and gps rescue at more acessable buttons to react quickly enough. Great video. Cheers 🖐
When flying in manual or any other mode, do you adjust the sticks resistance on the back of the remote? If so, what's your settings perhaps maybe you can make a video about this topic 🙏
I was surprised at how well it flew as an FPV drone, did you fly the entire flight in manuel? I hoped the camera would have a litter better also, hopefully they can improve it a little via firmware updates. Great video Billy, and thanks for sharing.
so excited to buy this little guy. good vid!!
absolutely agreed. the video quality could be way better. Idk, it's kinda blurry. I noticed that already at your last unboxing video. Is this actually filmed in 4k 30fps? This took only a 10mins flight til the battery died, lol. active track or follow me is a nice feature to have but without obstacle avoidance risky too.
Hmmm. I’m thinking that might be suitable indoors for youth basketball?
It’s loud
the best mini whoop that does everything i want. for the price its worth it. and i had to invest in the googles 3 and controller 3 for that fpv experience .
Just bought one... all I have ever had is a little Tello, this is going to be fun
Another great video Billy
Great video! And in my hometown! 😱
i hope DJI will upgrade that we can use the RC Controller from the mini 3 pro. I like the secure Hand landing from the Neo 🙂
I am starting to fly Manual FPV with my Avata2, for now only with sim.
I bought the Neo to try to be a better FPV pilot before I start flying Manual with the Avata2.
Carful on those 180s, I've seen this neo fall out the sky whining it.
Using the Motion Controller 3 why is the speed limited to 28km/h, even in Sport mode?? is it because the low size/weight? the Avata 2 can do 58km/h
Fantastic video, thank you 😊
Thanks for watching!
That’s a great video of showing what the neo can do , as someone who has never flown one before, could it really be that easy? Also audio what did you record the audio on?
You will be able to get the hang of it
Awesome. Thanks for sharing this. Is the DJI FPV remote controller compatible with the Neo?
The FPV controller 3 is.
Wow, amazing video. Amazing flyingj. I want one.
I wish dji would set the neo up so it will work with the goggles 2 and the controller 2. Can’t see spending money on new goggles and controller for the neo. If they did that I would definitely buy one. The size of the Neo really appeals to me and would be great to introduce drones to my grandkids.
Once the goggles 2 and all of that crap is supported then it will make sense as a micro fpv drone but right now it's $799 just for the goggles which is crazy for the price of the goggles you could get 4 DJI Neos which is just crazy expensive
Same 😢
I can't wait to get one. 😊
@TheHoodieStore I sure hope you’re correct. I think it’s great dji coming out with a fpv that’s less than 250. It will be great around the front and backyard. Also 2 days ago my grandson said he wants to fly a drone. He watches me fly my avata 1 and mini pro 3.
No chance it working with Goggles V2?
Great job, nice flight too. Cheers
Can you film in 4x3 with just the app so you can crop into vertical when you post on Instagram
Awesome vid bro!
Cool video. Did you actually disabled attitute mode in the controller? It looks roll locked.
Yeah I did
I bought the Neo with the fly more combo purely to fly it indoors with the prop guards I’ll be able to bounce of things without breaking anything (I hope)
Damn. Looks like fun in manual mode 💪🏾 💪🏾
Only have to wait till next month for it to get to me in the usa 😢
No problem flying over water? What about going over water on quickshot modes, like follow mode?
The recommend to not fly over water, but if you know what your doing, I wouldn’t worry about it.
Will the Goggles 2 work with this?
Would you bring this drone for interior real estate videos
Great job! 🎉
I think it's very cool DJI allow manual flight on it, even though it's not powerful.
hello billy
billy i have a question for you the vr glasses what type is that and how is the quality with the neo?
mvg rob.
Man DJI must be paying you a pretty good amount for this review. They keep going and going.
This is nothing but a step above a toy drone.
Any good RC pilot would recognize that immediately.
its a HUGE step up above a toy drone. Name a single toy drone that has anywhere near the capabilities of the Neo. We will wait ;)
Is it possible to set the 'camera' to 'manual' mode in the Fly application. That is fixed infinity focus, fixed WB and shutter speed ? Some one else mentioned it is possible to change the 'sharpness setting to -2; in your opinion does that improve the image quality ? I hate white sky blow outs !!
Trust us Billy, ypu talk plenty. No need to apologize for "not talking" - not you! 😂
Billy, for $200 the Neo is amazing…. And again, for $200 the camera quality is fantastic, and the camera shouldn’t be compared to DJI’s other more expensive 4K+ “pro” level drones. Any comparisons should only be against the Hover X1 and its new Pro and ProMax versions.
People are talking about the fencing restrictions when this thing is not big enough to do any harm and noone is going to be so high with this class of drone...how high can it go without getting blown by the wind?
Awesome video 💪. Picked one up from the uk Amazon as they can get it to our area by Sept 10th 😅. I need to check out this area. Flew pagoda in reading last week and had no idea the weekend car show in this area was meeting there 😂. Perfect timing👌
Love the Pagoda! Is there footage of this on your channel?
bello ma credo sia un pò esagerata la durata della batteria, ma con che drone stai volando? non può essere NEO dura troppo la batteria
Great video
preordered with rc3
Man! You are living my dream to fly around a construction site with permission. I am a Land Surveyor and still can't get clearance from superintendents to allow me. LOL Good fun for sure!
@TheHoodieStore not if I want to get fired by my company! lol
Why are you able to fly over water when so many others cannot? Is it because you're in manual mode?
What controller are you using? Can the Neo be flown with the goggles N3 and the RC2?
As of 1/02/25 the RC-2 is not supported on the goggles N3. Waiting for this to update hoping they also add mini 4 pro.
Hello, is it possible to connect with Integra Goggles as well?
No!…..DJI VERY BAD ….my Sold 500€
Dang, maybe I should get this to follow my car for videos >_>
i think he doesnt have enough speed to follow the cars
Hello, can this acro mode be used if you only use the RC FPV 3 remote controller and don't use Google 3?
Cool would bei If dji bring this lighter Air unit as standalone. When the neo Just costs 200 bucks the Air unit and camera must be even cheaper. That would be a killer for many other systems
Any need to buy this if you already have the Avata 2..??
No but if your looking for a drone which is lightweight and smaller drone then avata 2 then you should buy it
I have air 2,avata 2, mavic pro and 4 different fpv drones. And I want one. I will be buying it 😂😂
How do you record your voice in these tutorials?
sorry but which controller are you using to get the fpv manual mode. would the controller with the screen also work like this.
cool !
Can Dji Neo take photos with using remote? can it be set in custom mode for taking photos?
Yes
@@billykyle sorry typo, what I mean is without using a remote
For me, it is not about FPV or selfies, but FAA requirements for flying over and around people.
Billy.. put a bug in DJI's ear... I think if DJI would come out with a Drone Sim for the PC... it would sell big time. especially with winter coming up... I live in ARIZONA... three months out of the year it's too freekin' HOT to fly outside. except early, early mornings...!!
Now they have FPV drones on the market.... What say you.?????
Excellent 👌 what did the people watching want anyway 😂
What beta app your using?
Can you fly full manual without the goggles?
No, you need them to keep it in perspective.
what remote controller do you have?
the camera quality takes a hit cause of no gimbal and all digital stablisation, i dont expect major improvement in quality with fw
So I have the iphone smart app on my phone and the neo
I run the dji fly app and it asks if I want to join network DJI NE bc80"
I say yes and I'm connected to the NEO . Then the app tells me to activate and when I say ok, it tells me I have no wifi connection. It's disconnecting the bluetooth connection from the neo when i switch over to wifi network.
When i change my settings on my phone to connect to wifi then the dji app says I'm no longer connected to neo and an aircraft connection is needed to active,
HELP.
thanks (ps...I dont have a data cell plan..just wifi)
You need to have a WiFi connection to the internet to activate the drone
@@billykyle I know. And when I connect the app to my wifi then it disconnects the Neo drone from bluetooth and shows disconnected.
5:33 Does the brake button temporarily stabilize it but also it's still in manual mode?
No. All DJI's that have a bake or stop button take them out of man and back down to sport
@@SgtJamesRay that's what I thought as well, but in the video, he seemed to continue in manual mode right away.
@@SunriseWaterMedia
Na, he's just really quick on switching lol
@@SgtJamesRay On the Avata it takes me like 30 seconds to line everything up and switch to manual mode. Lol
so dji neo can’t do flips/dives in manual mode?
It can, another UA-camr managed to do that
Does it work with the motion controller?
Yes, the motion controller 3
With 4k/30ips, we can clearly see some lag in this video.
amazing..
will it link with Avata controller and goggles
gen 1 avata
I have the Avata 2 and the Goggles and RC controller. After I set them up with the new Neo, if I want to fly the Avata 2 do I need to set that up again or will it automatically connect?
You only need to bind each device to the goggles once holding the power button and waiting for the beeps. Then you toggle which device you want to fly in the goggles.
Right on the goggles D pad, click status, then a yellow switch button appears in the pop-up menu.
@@brandon9689 Thank you!!!!
Billy can i ask you for one video file on gdrive from NEO? Thanks
This looks like a great tool for flying over people legally, but the problem is as a 107 Pilot there is no Remote ID! How did you get around the remote ID for your video? What remote ID Module did you use and how did affect the flight?
It's under 250. No RID needed
bravoo
Who are those people?
One of the most fun drones? I think my Volador II VX5 5" quad would disagree.
