    Wow neo 2 awesome

    I was speaking of myself and for Part 107 pilots in the US. A $20 RID and use of propguards makes for a low cost Category drone that can legally fly over almost any type of people/vehicles.

    Not a metric system person(Stubborn American), but you think 4 mph winds are problematic? I fly constantly in 10 mph and above winds since I am near the ocean and it is always windy. While it is not optimum, I do it all the time and it is workable. It probably makes me a much better FPV pilot...

    I think they are using it in Manual/Acro mode which significantly increases its speed and ability to resist the wind.

    I also do not like the propguards. I am in the US, the only time I use them is for compliancy. With the propguards and a Remote ID module the Neo 2 is a Category 1 drone, allowing for flights over people and moving vehicles. It can even do flights over open air assemblies (concerts) for truly...

    Neo 2 not going into manual/acro?

    The Neo 2 does quite fine with manual mode. Have fun. I increased my rates and it flips and rolls quickly and easily.

    Neo 2: Notes, observations, surprises as I test and learn

    Yes, the Goggles 3 works with the Neo 2. The Neo 2 is also decent in Manual/Acro mode with the FPV controller. If there is wind greater than 10 mph it struggles abit, but with low to no wind it rips pretty good.

    Neo 2: Notes, observations, surprises as I test and learn

    I fly drones at work and when I am creating things I find great interest in drones. Flying "normal" drones for me just for fun, is not in fact fun anymore. I then got into FPV. First with the Avata 2 and the motion controller. Then that became too easy. So I took a year to learn manual/acro...

    First night flight with the Neo 2

    What controller were you flying with if I may ask?

    Avata 360 leaks

    The 360 is looking tobe a worthwhile upgrade to the Avata 2. With LiDAR and large vision positioning sensors this should also be a safer drone for newbies. The video examples I saw on the initial reviews looks great. I am still puzzled why initial speculation had this drone as sub 250 grams...

    Anyone have this happen? Possible loss of control of Neo.

    Did you post this on Mavic Pilots in the Crash section? I think I remember this post.

    Anyone have this happen? Possible loss of control of Neo.

    Thanks for all of the responses. The two times I had loss of control was to be expected. It was due to low lighting indoors and another time I flew into a lightly, smokey building and the smoke messed with the downward sensors. Both were with the Motion Controller. I don't really fly high...

    Avata 360 leaks

    Hopefully my favorite South Korean gray market seller gets the drone only in stock quickly upon release. I truly am sad though, as it stands, this will be the last new release DJI model I will buy.

    Anyone have this happen? Possible loss of control of Neo.

    I stumbled upon this video and am now wondering is this has happened to any forum member. I fly my Neo as a Category 1 drone with a Remote ID module attached (Over People/Moving Vehicles). This video has now scared me about doing Category type flights.

    Neo 2: Notes, observations, surprises as I test and learn

    Yes, you must have Remote ID, and the top propguards. Most normal patrolmen will more than likely not know drone regulations, but at the end of the day, you will be legal and compliant. I do see where you are coming from in terms of having something more than quoting regulations that they will...

    Neo 2: Notes, observations, surprises as I test and learn

    You cannot get more authoritative than the regulation quoted above. But Pilot Institute has a video: Also you must be Part 107 to exercise this and don't forget to charge and secure your Remote ID module.
