I totally understand your POV. Similarly, when the Optimus robot becomes capable of cooking even better than a human chef, I'll still want a human made meal at a restaurant for some hard-to-define abstract reason. Nonetheless, human respondents make mistakes and disseminate erroneous...

I've had issues with AI. I've had wrong information, hallucinations, and other well-known errors. So what. It's a tool, and a rather useful one. It can be misused, and imperfect. Examples of these shortcomings in no way act as an indictment against its use entirely, but you're certainly welcome...

Nothing wrong with using AI. It's just a tool. It can be wrong, just like old-school Google searches in the past. Just like any tool, it needs to be checked and verified by a human with expertise. I've found AI to be an immensely valuable tool and quite a leap forward in assisting many aspects...

Most likely the Obstacle Avoidance system. You can turn it off in Fly, and see if the hesitation goes away.

Yes, with the RC2 and RC-N2. The downward light accessory is critical indoors, but with it operation is reliable.

Agreed. It's mainly the gimbal I'm thinking of, and admittedly my basis for assuming it's more delicate is the 2-axis mechanism, and the way it's mounted. For the neo, I was thinking of Drone Wilder's crash tests, below, that were just astonishing. And, well, my own abuse – far less – of my...

For anyone new to manual (rate) mode with the Neo 2 as their first experience, I highly recommend making the modest investment in a Neo OG as a learning platform, where you feel comfortable being more agressive and taking risks. While I like the Neo 2 much better and think it a far superior...

That right there is the answer. Assuming that 100% of available power is programmed to be used in the firmware in N and S modes is a faulty assumption. One variable the engineers are accounting for in angle mode operation is flight time – part of the spec they're trying to achieve – which...

I'm impressed with how stable the side angle is as it follows your precious boy. The Neo doesn't handle this as well, sometimes moving forward and back a bit trying to anticipate the movement of the subject. Another nice improvement in the Neo 2! I'll have to give spotlight a try with my wife...

And you're taking these with the Neo OG (Original Gangsta, humorous way of saying the Neo 1 😁), right?

That was magnificent! Were you using the follow feature for that side shot of your son?

Yo!

I actually love the gesture control, and use it all the time when the Neo 2 is serving in "social camera" mode. I've been playing with Gesture Control since the Spark. It was unreliable and useless on that drone. Only slightly better on the Mavic Air, still basically useless. I even think I...

Make sure you sit down in a sturdy chair. It will make it easier.

I'll have to check it, but I'm pretty sure you can fly the Neo with either the MC3 or FPV RC3 in Normal and Sport modes with full image horizontal axis tilt simply by turning off the image stabilization (i.e. no RockSteady or HorizonSteady). Don't know about the Neo 2 with its 2-axis gimbal.
