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

    Although, I have an RC 2 controller, I actually prefer using the N3 controller with the Neo. The Neo/Neo 2 is a basic small drone and the N3 controller is perfectly suited to it. For my use case (hiking, biking, skiing, etc), I find the RC 2 too big and bulky. Chris

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

    There are lots of these antenna protectors on Aliexpress. Not sure if they are just a gimmick or not but they might work when you don’t want to carry a case around. I don’t know why DJI didn’t make the antennas able to fold down. As for a lanyard clip for the N3 controller, this is the one I...

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

    The Neo reminds me of the Spark batteries but a much better design. I used to have to have a battery clip for my Spark to prevent the batteries from accidentally coming loose. Chris

    That seems reasonable for this light because as altitude increases the light disperses making it less effective to provide enough light for the VPS. I have also noticed that as the light discharges with use it becomes less bright. I have had my NEO go into atti mode a couple of times because it...

    Is that per battery cost? They are USD $39 on DJIs website here in Canada. Is that the price you have to pay after tariffs are added? To me, it is shocking how much the cost of drones and drone accessories now cost in the US. In the past it has always been the opposite - prices in Canada have...

    Greetings

    Welcome to the forum! I don’t have a Neo 2 so only speculating - could it be obstacle avoidance that is causing the problems? Maybe try turning it off and see if it makes a difference. I have flown my original Neo numerous times in my house without any GPS and lots of WiFi interference from the...

    Neo2 owners: panoramas? Photospheres?

    I too would have loved to have had the inclusion of automated pano functions with the addition of the omnidirectional obstacle avoidance but I think they are worried about adding too many features that are available on the mini drones. Chris

    My new accessories

    I bought the 5 blade props specifically to see if they would add more thrust to the NEO so that it could support the extra weight that the added bottom light (40g), the top mounting bracket (~16g), and the penlight (20g) added. With the stock 3 blade props the NEO kept making sudden drops in...

    My new accessories

    I think the seller revised the listing as it is more clear now. I left feedback and mentioned that it was not clear in the photos and the listing. When I ordered the images displayed 4 props but now there are two in the images. There are other sellers who sell the same props and they sell the...

    My new accessories

    Here's a screenshot of the seller on AliExpress I ordered from. They come with screws which you will need since the DJI screw will not work unless you modify the props. They also come with a screwdriver. They shipped fast and I was pleased with the quality of them. The only criticism of this...

    Does the NEO 2 have better VPS than NEO in difficult environments?

    How much flight time do you get on your original NEO with your light kit? I get just over 7 minutes. Chris

    Does the NEO 2 have better VPS than NEO in difficult environments?

    I'd be really interested to see how the NEO 2 fared in that environment. My NEO with the bottom light, and top mounted pen light and 5 blade props can easily fly into completely dark rooms in my house without any problems. Right now there are limited accessories for the NEO 2 for this purpose...
