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.

Very smart move! Eliminates the most common FPV injuries 😁😁 I'm a bit sour on those very common sling-arm folding chairs, but found a more robust alternative, the Timber Ridge Director's Chair, available at COSTCO in the US. Has solid armrests and a small foldout side-table. I absolutely love...

Just to be clear, I never doubted you. Just thought a different explanation was far more likely. For my part I'm going with mysterious evil spirits, which still seem more likely than what the evidence is showing 😁😁😁

I'll be damned 🤯

I'm also a lefty like you guys, and very dominantly so. Reminds of learning golf as a teen (very important to my Dad 😁), but using right-hand clubs. I hit that "wall" of progress where I just couldn't seem to get better, and had a nasty hook I couldn't get rid of despite lots of instruction and...

Very nice, relatively low-light shots, better than I would have expected on the neo.
