My Neo went underwater for a good 10 seconds. I immediately whipped it around to get the water out and finally buried it with uncooked rice 15 mins later. To my surprise, after 24 hours it's flying like usual again!
That rice thing is basically a myth. Rice would have to be in direct contact with the moisture to do anything at all, if it actually did then. Getting power off immediately and getting as much of the water out of it as possible is the best defense. Then put it where air can circulate through...in front of a small fan, or blowing it out gently with a hair dryer on a low setting. I saw one fellow that set it on a heating vent! I'm not sure how far I would go with that though...not sure a warped Neo would be much better than a damp one.
First time viewer of this channel. I must say, the info is very efficiently delivered to the viewer, no wasted words, clearly and concisely. Very good.
I don’t watch tutorial videos on almost all products that I bought. But this is one of the exemption. I’m totally a neophyte in the world of gimbal; just received my DJI Neo today. This is a very good tutorial video. Many many thanks.
THANK YOU! Excellent video! I was trying to follow the sketchy user guide that came with my drone but was having trouble with the first step. Your video save me a lot of headaches.
Thank you for this super informative video. I have had my Neo for 4 days now and loving it. Was curious though as to how I could change the camera angle and what that little video/photo button meant (to the left of the stop/start video record button) when flying in manual mode , and you answered both of those questions for me. Very much appreciated. Love also the countryside that you’re filming in. Truly beautiful.
Thank you. My Neo is on order and when it arrives, I'll re watch your information. Looks fun a fun camera attachment to my cinematic tool bag. Thanks again for a concise and informative demo.
Very top detailed tutorial 👍 I’m hoping a further DJI firmware update will include RTH from the phone app and the ability to reduce some basic exposure on the camera 🤞
Superb video. So clear and thorough. Many thanks indeed. Have liked, saved and subscribed. You briefly mentioned settings but not locking exposure for video or best settings for photography, which I’d like to use it for as well.
Day 2 and still no luck installing the firmware update.Have seen a couple of comments about the problems with Android phones but since that's all I have am stuck as keep getting network errors. Managed to sync the drone with the phone initially but although connected, it won't let me activate or install firmware. Very excited to use this and brilliant video. Subbed to your channel and can't wait to get this up and running !
Very sorry for that - just got the Action 5 Pro and had to update the firmware several times until it worked. Perhaps there is a manual way to do it: by downloading the firmware from the website and copying it via cable to the drone. But I'm not sure if that's possible with the NEO...but you could try
@@MountMediaChannel : Update - seemed to be a problem with my phone going through wi-fi. Using mobile phone data seemed to fix it as firmware updated and fired it up. Very impressed with the movement, functions and video quality for £169. Thanks again for your reply :)
Nice video. But speaking out the activation word in the video is a NoGo 🤣 While i was playing with the settings you mentioned, you said "Hey Fly" and then something like "start", and suddenly my Neo, sitting on the desk in front of me, answered "no problem" and started the engines!! Luckily I was fast enough to put my hand on it... 😆
Very well made video. I tried to record audio while recording. With using the App and Phone it works like you explained. Is there a possibility to make this work while using the remote control?
awesome insight, Q1 in manual mode with controller how high will it go? Q2 in manual mode with controller how far will it go? Q3 in spotlight mode, the drone is locked in position as through its on a sky tripod, and followers the subject. How far can the subject go, before the drone gets upset...
Would like DJI to add "Camera" with timed shots, say 5 Sec & 10 Sec intervals to All the NEO preset shooting modes. At present think only the "Circle" mode offers timed photos. Only offering the "Video" Camera Mode is a bit limiting
Nice tutorial. If you are using the remote controller and flying manually, will the drone land in your palm if you fly it down to your palm? (in the same way that it would with the smartphone)
Nice video, I started off with the dji spark then Mavic pro and thinking to get this neo because the price is great and it preety much can do good range and has 4k so it's a win... What you guys think?
You know you guys put these videos up about this drone I want to purchase one but the only issue I have what happens if you’re walking around a bunch of people does it come off of you or does it go towards the other person? Nobody’s answered that question like if you’re walking into the park or something you got the drone following youdoes it come off of you and go to another person you never say anything about a crowd of people not one single video I’ve seen on UA-cam has done this.
Hello there, so this is my first drone and I'm relying on such great tutorials like yours. I've ordered the combo as I would like to use the remote control as well. When I connect my iphone 8 (antique I know) I don't get the full camera view, I can't even get it into landscape. It doesn't show me any options to view it on full screen? Is it because of my old iphone? Thank you so much, Tamara
So on phone control mode, you can select quick shots and also change settings for each quick shot. However, i can’t find a way to select custom (helix, direction follow) in the menu with RC-N3. Nor away to change settings on the other quick shots in the RC menu. ?
Does these settings work when u r alone or work even when u have group of people like ur family n kids, where it should only detect you, or does it get confused with other ppl around ? Also when u select circle or other modes, does it get back to the place where u started it to fly, or do u have to go to where it stops?
Important question! How do I master the RTH if it gets out of range before it gets out of juice above the sea/car/hole? Answer: we don’t. It will crash and eventually damage a car or something else, so you better have insurance… So I won’t buy one until DJI adds RTH when the Neo gets out of range or the battery gets too low to keep following.
In dronie and rocket mode , how you record in 1 clip like in circle mode ( they record in 2 clips separately 1 is fly away and 1 to fly back ) or you have to combine yourself, if like that how you do on phone ?
Will the remote control image adjustment settings be saved and used again w/o the controller on the next flight or only when connected to the controller?
Hi. Just purchased the DJi Neo. (first drone too). Great informative video. I still can't figure out the actual recording though. Sorry a real beginner question :) Do I need a SD card for it or can I record directly to the phone? I purchased the combo so have the controller with it.
Hi - the NEO has only internal storage - so after recording you can transfer the files via the app to your smartphone or connect the NEO via cable to your PC
@@MountMediaChannel fabulous! thank you for your answer. :) am currently just doing all the charging etc. We've had a VERY windy week. So hoping to get out and trial it for the first time this weekend when the winds have died down a bit. :) And then will give all the transfer files a go. Appreciate.
@@danielaczel1399basic pact only get the drone & 1 charger only Combo get all (drone, hub charger, 3 batts, remot). Of course you can still buy 1 by 1. But i think its gonan take more cost.
I’m afraid it won’t… The Neo runs on ocusync 4 which is a more modern connection technology than the controller you have which would be ocusync 2… The controllers look the same, but the way the transmission works is slightly different…
I bought the flymore combo. So far so good, but as a Android user the DJI fly app was hell to install. Its not in the Play store, has to be downloaded from the webpage. Then to install it you have to allow and change alot of settings. And a waning pops up that its not compatibility.. I use a Samsung Galaxy S24 ultra, but i use it for work also so had to uninstall work profile and security (Mobile Iron), before i could install the app. Such a messy experience! Also remeber to register your drone (Danmark)
2 options: 1. with the help of the smartphone 2. after completing it's automated fly path it will hover in place - approach it and place your hand under it
At the moment it does… however DJI may release an update which could support other subjects, however I would doubt that a car would be one, because Neo would be left behind by it as soon as it got faster than about 25kph
This is the BEST beginner NEO tutorial I've seen so far, by a LONG shot.
My Neo went underwater for a good 10 seconds. I immediately whipped it around to get the water out and finally buried it with uncooked rice 15 mins later. To my surprise, after 24 hours it's flying like usual again!
That rice thing is basically a myth. Rice would have to be in direct contact with the moisture to do anything at all, if it actually did then. Getting power off immediately and getting as much of the water out of it as possible is the best defense. Then put it where air can circulate through...in front of a small fan, or blowing it out gently with a hair dryer on a low setting. I saw one fellow that set it on a heating vent! I'm not sure how far I would go with that though...not sure a warped Neo would be much better than a damp one.
Putting modern tech in rice is bad due to static often attracting particles. It's something that perhaps used to be good but I wouldn't do it nowadays

Thank you mate!
Perfectly explained video please do the other dji drones

Every other review on UA-cam told you can not tilt the camera in manual mode. You showed you can. Great video. 🙏 Thanks a lot.

I am still thinking of buying it, but looking at the footage in this tutorial I don't know. What is your opinion on the video quality ?
Me to
What is the difference between the combo and the normal pack can’t you just buy the pack for 199 and then buy everything to it
dont buy nea the video quality is bad it flies for like 15mins and ive seen it just yeet to water thinking the ground is a hand @@danielaczel1399

I already own a DJI Mini 2. Can that controller be used with the Neo?

The Neo runs on ocusync 4 which is a more modern connection technology than the controller you have which would be ocusync 2…

How can u bring back the neo after flying by hand, I dont have other accessories except just neo ,,, watching from Nepal❤
2 options: 1. with the help of the smartphone 2. after completing it's automated fly path it will hover in place - approach it and place your hand under it
I wonder can the neo follow non human object, like RC car for example?
In the 'palm' mode you imply that, when detecting a subject, it could be anything; does it always have to be a person ?
At the moment it does… however DJI may release an update which could support other subjects, however I would doubt that a car would be one, because Neo would be left behind by it as soon as it got faster than about 25kph
Yes - always a person
can the neo launch from slow moving boat..?
Really helpful 🥰🥰🥰

you can fly with the gimbal protector on it......
