    Neo 2: Notes, observations, surprises as I test and learn

    Congrats on your Neo 2! I decided to skip the Neo 2. I’m happy with the original Neo. Maybe I’ll consider an upgrade when they actually make more tangible improvements to the camera (better sensor, more software features like panos, AEB etc). Chris

    Sunset shots over melting lake ice

    Thanks! Both images were shot on manual settings so I could adjust shutter speed. I edited shadows in post and reduced noise with Topaz Denoise. It was a calm night with little wind. I might have got better shots if I flew a bit earlier but I had been flying my Mini 4 Pro at the same location...

    Sunset shots over melting lake ice

    The ice on the nearby lake is finally getting ready to break up and move out. Here's a couple of NEO (original) sunset shots. The first is a single shot and the second is a 6 frame pano. Both were taken tonight (April 11th). Chris

    Yeah, I still have my original Tello. Even tried flying FPV with it which was cool. Chris

    NEO 3.0 ???

    Reminds me more of a Tello. Kinda even looks like one but I’d venture to guess Tello is still better. Chris

    Anyone have this happen? Possible loss of control of Neo.

    One of the props was broken which I replaced and there were some scuff marks on the prop enclosures and the removable prop guards but nothing was broken on the drone frame. I am still flying that original Neo to this day. It’s one of the most versatile and cost effective drones I have ever...

    Yes, the second one with the hand warmers. Chris

    Anyone have this happen? Possible loss of control of Neo.

    After market props with more blades reduce the noise significantly. I have 5 blade props on specifically to increase thrust but the added benefit is the significant noise decrease and the change in tone. There are threads on this and and some YouTube videos if you are interested. Chris

    Anyone have this happen? Possible loss of control of Neo.

    I have had two incidents where the Neo became uncontrollable. In the first case I was flying over a pond in an area where GPS signal is spotty even with my larger drones. I was well over 10m above the water so being low to the water and confusing VPS was not a factor. Suddenly the Neo became...

    Avata 360 leaks

    Yeah, it’s hard to believe that it’s gotten to this. I really feel for all you US pilots. I’m not so sure I would be willing to take the risks and spend the premium $$$ some are to acquire the latest DJI drones especially the more expensive models. I consider myself fortunate that there is no...

    Avata 360 leaks

    Pretty sure it’s not fake. The email came directly from DJI just like others I often get that advertise sales, plus there are valid links to other DJI products on DJIs website. If it was fake it would be a pretty darn good one at that. @Kilrah not sure where you are located, but if you go to...
