Yes, the light makes a huge difference! I tried the same thing last winter in similar conditions on the same lake without the light and the Neo was unusable when set to Direction track from the side. The only downside is that the light only lasts for about one battery especially in cold weather...

I haven’t tried the FPV side out yet. Maybe in the summer. Chris

We have the new style aluminum ones with teeth on the bottom in our family but I like these old style ones. Had them long before the new aluminum ones came out. Chris

Here's the snowshoeing video where I tested Direction Track from the side with the StartRC Night Light attached. I think the Neo did pretty good in this difficult environment with a brisk wind considering there wasn't much texture on the snow for the Neo's VPS to lock on too. The only time it...

I’ll try to put a short clip together of the snowshoe/Direction Track. The small lake where I did the snowshoeing has ice thick enough to drive a vehicle on. Snowmobiles drive across it all the time. The lake I live a 5 minute walk from had ice huts (mostly the portable kind) all over it and...

Way back in post #52 I was testing my LED Landing Light with Direction Track from the front in a snow covered environment in cloudy conditions. This past week I was finally able to test Direction Track from the side in cloudy conditions on a snow covered lake. Initially I set the Neo to Far |...

I too prefer using the N3 controller with the Neo over the RC 2. Chris

Welcome to the forum from over here in Ontario about an hours north of Toronto. Enjoy your Neo 2. Chris

I have a similar one to the one on the right but without the space for the batteries, just drone only. Chris

The lens hood, like many of my other Neo accessories is an accessory that is used for a specific purpose. I only use the lens hood when I am having the Neo track me via Active Track or Direction Track to reduce the sun flare coming through the trees which can be very distracting in the...

I also have a bigger version that I have for my Phantom 3 Standard. Chris

This is another accessory that I have found helpful for all of my drones. Today I was out with my Neo and it was -9ºC. I set the Neo to Cruise Control and flew it along a bush trail covered in snow while I followed behind making small adjustments as needed. My hands did not get cold at all when...

Today I did some testing of the LED landing light outside in heavy snowfall in cloudy overcast conditions with the ground covered in a thick layer of freshly fallen snow. I was testing to see if the LED light would prevent the original Neo from going into Atti mode and losing stability/control...

Although the Neo 2 has some interesting upgrades over the original Neo, I think I will be passing on it and waiting to see what the Avata 360 offers mainly for regular flying and photography. Chris

Thanks for your reply. It is very likely that the Neo 2 would perform much better in the same environment I fly in where the original Neo had difficulty. There are a number of upgrades on the Neo 2 that I am interested in but weighing those upgrades against the downsides (for me) which include a...
