    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

    Avata 360 leaks

    The Avata 360 is officially out and here are the prices from DJIs website here in Canada. Only the drone only package isn’t available and if you want to purchase extra batteries you will have to wait. 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

    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...

    Beautiful weather

    I am not in the picture at all. I just went down to the lake to take a quick panorama with the Neo. It was a beautiful day that day with very little wind. Most of the time there is a bit of a wind coming off of the bay but that day it was calm. I only live about a 5 minute walk from the lake...

    Beautiful weather

    No, that is someone pulling their ice fishing gear. I am probably about 100m in front of that guy. That picture actually shows a bay which is part of a large lake. Since there are lots of access points from the city many people just pull their fishing gear out in sleds including the portable...

    Beautiful weather

    Here's a two row 22 frame pano (cropped) done with my original Neo today out on the ice. It was a balmy 9ºC and sunny. Other than the people who were out ice fishing there were people (not pictured) out walking their dogs, snowmobiling and just enjoying the nice warm weather. Chris
