    Confused over night flight and lights required.

    goggle for the many options of FAA compliant nav lights. JMHO. OP your lights should be fine for VLOS and keep the Neo at below the tree top night flying in you backyard. Have a non-DJI quad with LED lights ringing the prop guards that are bright enough for flying LOS and below the tree tops...

    Turn on and turn off RC-N3

    Wish DJI would have designed the Neo battery system similar to the Avata2. Power on/off button built into the battery. Maybe an "improvement" feature on the Neo2? Based on the MadsTech and iFixit YT tear down video it looks to be possible. Neo looks to be a more user friendly repairable...

    I think about my NEO

    Bit of a Neo fanboy even with the limits. Dealing with a drones limits are just part of the hobby. Not too many if any bnf drones with digital quality video image, options to fly in different flight modes and autonomous modes, robust enough to crash relatively hard with only cosmetic or...

    Turn on and turn off RC-N3

    For DJI it doesn't matter. I also fly non-DJI UASs. Out of habit. Power up Goggle3 the actual tx for the Neo and Avata2, then FPV RC3, then the quad. Anyone have any issues with their Neo power up button. My original Neo now lacks a distinct "click" feel. Need to eyeball the LEDs to make...

    2 NEO's with 2 controlers...

    The color change is a nice warning. I don't focus on the OSD readouts on the bottom of the screen. Just occasionally just check to avoid auto RTH due to battery capacity relative to distance from Home. Until the area flashes yellow. With the Avata2 usually plenty of time to react. With Neo...

    2 NEO's with 2 controlers...

    Have experienced the "crazy" Neo mode. But only indoors when flying into too deep shadows. IIRC, spec note needing a minimum of 15 lux of ambient light. Highly reflective or surfaces without any "texture" supposedly are an issue with the downward facing sensor. If you fly N or S...

    2 NEO's with 2 controlers...

    The Neo's GPS module is probably of a lower quality or poorly positioned. Flew the Neo a couple days ago using the FPV RC3. Just up and down the driveway, around the immediate yard, and one pop up above the tree line directly over the immediate yard to take a peak. Tree canopy over the...

    Neo 2?

    Since I'm complaining. Not something that effects me today. Back compatibility issues of DJI. And just compatibility issues within the DJI lineup. Why has DJI not made all 04 models compatible with all 04 hardware? I sort of understand the limits of some models not being compatible with...

    Neo 2?

    Any brand of FPV is expensive if going digital video. Price of the Goggle3 is competitive with most other digital goggles. Unless going analog you are stuck with a system specific goggle. Where we really get taken advantage of is the price of input controller and the limits of just DJI brand...

    2 NEO's with 2 controlers...

    Each Neo is "linked" to a specific controller. If using Goggle3 or N3 the link is with the goggles. Your actual tx/rx. Were you using a smart phone as a controller or RC2? When I purchased the 2nd backup Neo I thought it would automatically after linking with the Goggle3 back and forth with...

    Neo 2?

    Adding features just adds costs and more things to malfunction. DJI already has a wide range of UASs that are very capable of image capture and commercial (?enterprise) uses. Lacks a simple, inexpensive FPV model. The DJI FPV was the closest to a more "pure" immersive FPV platform, but...

    Get the alternative battery charge hub

    Right now both the Avata2 and Neo charging hubs are basically "dumb" chargers. Even my 2s tiny whoop charger has the option for storage level charging. Sure hope this aftermarket charger is functional and uses DJI's charging profile vs. ???? Right now after letting the batteries "settle" I...

    Another Stupid Moment (ASM)

    Have not used the MC3 for several months. Just lug it around in the flight bag. Pulled it out with one battery left to use. I'm bad when it comes to "maintenance " of it. All other hardware I check monthly regarding charge level. After all these months it still had 4 LEDs light up. Cool...

    Are you using your Neo regularly?

    The Neo is a bit underpowered and being an under powered light weight is a bit of a challenge flying manual mode in windy conditions. Agree regarding fun in tight quarters, zipping around closely spaced obstacles. Bounces well with minimal damage if hitting an obstruction. Avata2's speed and...

    Are you using your Neo regularly?

    Summer (June through August) is off season for quad flying. So, no considering it's now June. Flew the Neo through 6 batteries 3 times from late April into May and the Avata2 only 2 sessions of 3 batteries when it was too windy for the Neo. Summer into Autumn is prime windsurfing and sailing...
