This is not of course a camera drone and not at all intended as such. But in my view as a person who has many many DJI drones I recon this is their most affordable and fun drone they have ever released. Very Very pleased with mine and I have only just scratched the surface of what it can do. Lots of Neo videos here on my You Tube Channel here

It is such fun and so versitile here is how to use your RC2 with it

Note sure it's the best but it must be up there for loudest.

Nice demo for using the RC2.    Good to hear you are really enjoying the Neo.  

Can it make automatic 360 (sphere) panoramas? That's crucial for me since I like to do sphere panoramas to watch on my Quest 3.

This is not that sort of drone. It is a fun to fly toy thing for flying in-between things etc, It is not a 'Camera Drone'

I disagree. It has a 4k camera, so it's definitely a camera drone. And it supports intelligent flight modes, as well as a movable camera, so  there is nothing that would prevent it from making 360 panos - that's only a software thing.

I remember that Spark didn't have a 360 pano mode as it was released but that it was added with a later firmware. By the way, Spark had 1080p only, so also "not a camera drone"?

Are you happy with it?   Test flight yet?

DAFlys Posted at 9-9 08:31

Just the one due to the weather.  Followed me faithfully, once I'd got it to take off.
From the car roof - my hand was too shaky.

Ok if you say so. But you need a mini 2,3,3 Pro or 4 Pro for what you are talking about. But you believe what you want

Did you have to use the controller to land?

DAFlys Posted at 9-9 09:10

No, it landed on my hand without problem.

Blériot53 Posted at 9-9 09:17

Which combo did you buy cos it is great fun to fly with a controller (Did you go cheap skate lol )

Bigplumbs Posted at 9-9 21:08

Nope - I went all-in.
Just got a brief weather window yesterday to prove that the follow-feature works.
But wind and rain are likely to keep me grounded for the next couple of days

It is official then..

DJI NEO is the most intrusive drone on noise level by far...

There should be an award for this kind of records...

Have you ordered one Burt?   Im holding off for the moment myself.  

DAFlys Posted at 9-10 00:51

I'm still enjoy and using the Mini 3 Pro..

Old generation style down here... When the drone break or it is lost, then we will cross that bridge...

I still have the Mavic 3 collecting dust and two remote controllers that are just taking space...

I'm also still involved in Scale Helicopter, where the adrenaline always keeps you alive...

I love those things...

holy crap,    thats amazing.   but must be limed to where you can fly it.  

DAFlys Posted at 9-10 01:25

I don't own anything that big or that runs on turbines...

The biggest one I got is the Chinook (electric conversion) (about 1metre in length)

The Red Bull in the video has a 2.5 metre diameter blades and probably a 2+ metre body length

You only fly those model in Aero Clubs or on private proprieties and it takes about an hour to get them ready to fly...

Have you ever tried to fly Helis? If you like drones, you will love Helis.. And you can always put a camera on a gimbal in the front, if you really want to...

DAFlys Posted at 9-10 00:17
phew.   at least theres that.

Yeah. I'll figure out a work-around for the take-off.

It is not that loud in real life. Get one have a fly and you will realise.

DAFlys Posted at 9-10 00:51

Get one you will love it it is completely different from all the other DJI drones and so cheap. Will you honestly miss £299

Just a wish suggestion to Dji, can you develop a Windows Configuration Software for the Neo, for those entry level no high end fancy phones needed that we can connect via USB thru PC and Neo to program settings? Similar to Fly App but not for flying, just for setup. The neo can fly by itself anyways.  No need to upgrade phone just to be able to install the Dji Fly App.
Thanks

I'm not sure why you are saying this... The majority of people, all seems to agree...

Quote:

"funny that when you said its not too loud you can hardly be heard saying that because of the noise from it
for the people that want to buy it, this is 2nd loudest dji drone, 1st being avata 1, theres a yt video on that"

https://forum.dji.com/forum.php? ... =317772&pid=3407074

and your reply was:

"I still maintain that it is quieter than I thought in real life."


Then we have:

"I have to disagree just a bit with you as the Neo to my ears is quite loud.  Much, much louder than my Mini 3 Pro and Air 3."

https://forum.dji.com/forum.php? ... =317772&pid=3407395

and your reply was:

"I agree that the sound is quite loud on the videos and Yes it is much louder than the Mini 3 or 4 but in real life it honestly is not that bad."

Perhaps it is the pitch of the sound, but the majority of people so far, think that the NEO is LOUD!

I think I will stick with the majority for this one...

I tried to fly Helis years ago,  but I was terrible at it and kept crashing.  

Bigplumbs Posted at 9-10 09:10

If I do I'll go drone only as I can fly it with the Avata 2 goggles and fpv controller.

Nice for indoor fun, but also outdoor is that i like. I know its selfie drone, but even if you don't acro, then its just too slow. Spark is faster.

Old people tend to lose their hearing as the times goes by... And that's a good thing for us sometimes, as you can see...

If I had one, I would probably think like you...

Have you actually observed one in real life. If you haven't you would not know would you. Perhaps listen to those that actually have one. Its called fact checking something that is actually very important these days. I say again it is not that loud in real life

Have you actually got one and experienced it in real life

Blériot53 Posted at 9-10 05:58

I was just seeng a thing about the Neo when using it without a controller its not legal ion the UK as you cant instantly instruct it to land if an aircraft came along.  

Bigplumbs Posted at 9-11 21:49
Again

I think you are missing the point...

If you are hearing impaired, it doesn't really matter if you own the drone or not...

The majority of people that has bought one, reckon it is noisy compare to the other drones...

Are you saying that you are right and everybody else are wrong?

Noise is a subjective thing, and if you are having hearing problems, that does change your perception of noise level...

As long as you enjoy the new drone and the noise it makes doesn't bother you, who cares what the other people do think?!?

Burt37 Posted at 9-11 23:22
I think you are missing the point...

Perhaps the point is that you stop insulting people based on zero knowledge and answer a very simple question.

So Again have you experienced one in real life.

By the way know this many have tried all have failed

If an aircraft came along at head height there would be a sh1tload more to worry about than 135 gm of plastic
