@RcHawks yeah, really annoying. There seem to be two basic designs DJI has used over the years, I'll call them the Phantom style and Mavic style. Phantom style batteries slide in and latch. Mavic style insert from the top, pushed down to engage and lock. Neo was Phantom. Neo 2 is Mavic. I...

Sorry, forgot the link... it's there now :)

Took the neo 2 out for a short walk to a nearby park, in autonomous follow mode, and it performed flawlessly. Here is the clip from the walk back, where I had it follow from the front flying backwards. Does a great job flying around poles, trees, through "corridors" of tree canopy, etc. Also a...

Okay, YOU don't. The rest of the casual, recreational owners, different story. Ask if they have their TRUST certificate, blank stare.

Kidding about Festivus aside, we had a fabulous Christmas dinner last night with Friends and Family. I just love this season.

It's a good thing that casual recreational pilots never fly their drones over people, highways, moving cars. You know, just about every one of them having registered their drones and taken the TRUST training. Yup, uh huh. Good thing that. 🤣

Did everyone celebrate Festivus last night? What was your Feat of Strength during the festivus celebration? :cool:

Gesture Control only works in follow mode, flying without remote control from a smartphone or RC.

Don't have an Apple watch so can't. I'm a Samsung ecosystem guy.

At least it appears to. Didn't find anything in the user manual about it, although Landing Protection is apparently there. However, testing for PL yesterday with 4 RTH returns from more than 1000 ft out exhibited all the behaviors of PL (most notable is turning after over the HP to line up...

Do you mean the 5-blade that Chris picked up? I'm interested in the greater thrust...

@jaja6009 the OA including in particular the forward facing lidar may be a big help for those environments.

In my very limited experience so far, yes, and much so. Not surprising given the 180 fisheye camera on the bottom compared to the pinhole on the Neo 1. I can fly it around indoors down dim hallways, etc., with no issues – paths that the neo 1 requires the clip on bottom light array to fly with...

I'll make the same deal to anyone interested that @RetiredInFL sold. Brand new, unused RC-N3 from Neo 2 FMC purchase, U$99 including shipping.

Cordless electric blower... nice. Good find!
