I tried the RC2 controller with my NEO but I found it to be overkill and too big and bulky. I prefer the RC-N3 controller and my iPhone. For walking and biking. For biking, I have a handlebar mount to hold the N3 controller which works great. I also have a phone holder (portrait orientation) for...

Here's another one from today. This one turned out better. It was calmer so the NEO did not move around as much and as a result there were not many stitching errors. This time I removed the prop guards to give me a bit more time. The pano is 100 shots and was shot in the same general area as the...

I frequently use my phone for Direction Track when biking, skiing etc. I use Active Track (iPhone plus N3 controller) when the drone is following me since the video quality is better. I always have my N3 controller with me as it’s small and light. When I first got the NEO I tried using just...

Better be careful next time I’m biking there. 😁 Chris

Here's another fall pano from my NEO. The colours are close to or at their peak in my area, depending on where you go. It was a windy day today so many of the leaves were already on the ground or falling. Tomorrow, more will fall as we're due for rain all day. The colours are always nice but...

Thanks. The wide 14mm lens is perfect for this kind of shot. Chris

Was biking yesterday and had NEO tracking me. Stopped and took a pano of the area and trail. From the ground the colours are still mostly green and yellow with a bit of orange. It won't be long and it will be a mix of yellow, orange, red, and brown. Some leaves have begun to fall already...

@jaja6009 agree with everything you said. I'm considering getting that clip on light I posted about in post #3 so I can fly the NEO into abandoned structures that often have low light. In your test you did, were you using goggles and either the motion controller or FPV controller or were you...

Yeah, waypoints would be useful indoors and out where you could plot a path through a forest. I imagine it would be easy to do a firmware update where this could be added but it seems DJI only adds waypoints to drones that have full omnidirectional obstacle avoidance. Too bad there was no SDK...

This might help in low light indoor areas. Chris

The NEO is one of my favourite DJI drones. I use it all the time to document almost everything I do outdoors. Sure, I have more capable camera drones but they cannot do what the NEO can. Almost a year after getting it, I am still blown away by this little drone. Today, I was biking through a...

I have considered the FPV accessories but haven’t taken the plunge yet. I’m enjoying the tracking features to document life. Chris

To add to my accessories I already have from way back in post #12, I recently added a bike phone holder. It comes in especially handy for Direction Track from the front where I need to be able to keep tabs on the battery and if I need to, quickly stop the tracking. I use it in conjunction with...

Cool pictures! The NEO takes some surprisingly good photos in good lighting. Chris
