    REVIEW: STARTRC Neo LED Light Landing Gear

    I use the same bottom light. I have the Firehouse Technology Tatical Light Kit that also adds a top light to look forward. I flew in my townhouse with all lights out and this worked great, never lost the ground and even did three flights of stairs...

    N3 Goggles vs Goggles 3

    If you have never tried manual mode, I would first try in a simulator like Liftoff. If you insist on trying it without 5 to 10 hours in the simulator, don't do full ACRO. Keep the setting off for full attitude in the controller settings and make sure you give yourself a lot of space and...

    N3 Goggles vs Goggles 3

    I worded that poorly. I didn't mean you cannot do Manual/Acro mode with the NEO and Avatas. I meant that I don't use them for it. The Pavo 20 Pro does it much better, can get itself out of trouble easier with me being at this time an OK FPV flyer and also I have already repaired it 2 times...

    Manual Mode + FPV - How did you learn?

    I used Liftoff. I got up to 10 hours before flying FPV Manual/Acro mode. Once you get the hang of it, it is addictive and downright exhilarating. A thing to note though, is find anO3/O4 drone as a dedicated woop will have so much more performance than a Neo or even an Avata 2 and you most...

    N3 Goggles vs Goggles 3

    I was never a goggles fan until I was. I tried out someone's Avata 2 one day and became hooked. The Motion Controller soon bored me, and now I hit the simulator hard and am hooked on Manual/Acro mode, although this is only for a Pavo 20 Pro. My Avata and Neo still get the motion controller...

    After thinking about it for months, I got a NEO

    Got my Neo today, earlier than expected. Amazon for the win. No DJI Care is available unfortunately, but I signed up for the Asurion Protection plan. Does anyone have any experience with this plan? The drone is registered and I configured an extra Holy Stone RID module, so she is now a...

    After thinking about it for months, I got a NEO

    I have been a member on various of the sister sites, and also this one. I have read about and like the NEO but have too many other drones. I finally learned how to FPV Manual/Acro with my Avata 2 and a Pavo 20 Pro and cannot get enough of it. I grabbed a NEO for its FPV aspect as well as...

    Neo 2?

    This drone is most likely a licensed copy of a Mini 4 Pro. https://dronexl.co/2025/07/22/skyrover-x1-drone-links-to-dji-infrastructure/

    Wow, DJI called me!

    I have always found DJI Customer Support to be good. I currently am in an argument with them over their Maintenance Service for Enterprise drones. While I do not agree with them on the issue, they have been very responsive, fair and professional. For me that is one of the most important parts...

    Category 1, Operation Over People out of the box!

    Yes, unfortunately others let me know mid post. There's always hope that DJI will enable Remote ID in a future update.

    Category 1, Operation Over People out of the box!

    Not in this case. At this time NEO does not have Remote ID in the USA.

    Category 1, Operation Over People out of the box!

    I fly for public safety and we must follow all rules per the city and administration. The Neo at first glance looked like a winner. With Standard Remote ID it would be Category 1 OOP, which would be a nice tool for our special events. It would make for a nice training drone for FPV since our PD...

    FAA non Registration for DJI NEO But . . . ?

    I had the whole package in my DJI Store cart. Drone, both controllers, Goggles 3, 2 Years Care, etc. It all came to a screeching halt after reading this forum. This is why this forum and its sister sites are so great. Facts. I assumed that it would have Remote ID, since it will be such a great...
