    Pushing through the 120m altitude

    The MacBook used for a simulator processor and graphics card are too wimpy to handle LiftOff effectively. Slow to load, bit sluggish at times. I just use CurryKitten. No issues. Just tune the simulator to something similar to what the Neo feels like in real life using the FPV RC3. That and...

    US law around drones like neo

    Take the TRUST exam/tutorial. Proof of certification is required if law enforcement requests to "legally" fly any UAS in FAA controlled air space. Which is basically anyplace but indoors in the USA. Download the free Air Aware app to check where you launch from and fly in has no restrictions...

    Battery maintenance

    If the battery health is still good. Just fully charge the Neo flight batteries and let the self-discharge to storage level do its thing. I have always after a session and letting the batteries rest for a minimum of 20 minutes just charged up to 3 LEDs prior to storage. Usually check monthly...

    Battery maintenance

    Fly manual mode and you get 5-8 minutes. Even in S mode maybe break 11 minutes. 18 minutes is DJI's bench specs just for comparison within their "ecosystem". Not even "flying". Just hovering in lab controlled ideal conditions. Not close to real world use. Have a piece of junk BetaFPV ELRS 2s...

    Battery maintenance

    Because DJI can charge whatever they want to. Part of the DJI "ecosystem". Have you looked at what DJI charges for some of their other quads. Neo is one of the lower or maybe lowest price. IMHO, still over priced for a 2s battery. Quality lithium ion 18650 protected button top batteries...

    Neo 2?

    No plans to add any more quads or fixed wing platforms until they are crash trashed. Pocket for the analog ELRS hardware. Resell for a $64 TX? Lucky to get 50cents on the dollar less shipping, PP fee... Then I would have analog paper weights. Considering 04 for electric launch sailplane...

    First accessory

    I use a similar designed clip on UV or CPL filter on the Avata2 sold by the same company that makes the clip on for the Neo. Like the Neo clip on it stays on after a hard "landing". The magnetic models should be functional for those who just fly to capture image in Cine, N, or S modes. Lower...

    Neo 2?

    MadsTech info is based on him taking a look at the FCC filing. Probably means DJI will in the near future release a FCC compliant NEO2. DJI registered two "Neo2" transmission systems. One for the Neo2 without the OcuSync and another module with. Why he is guessing the Neo2 is a non OcuSync...

    Neo 2?

    MadsTech released an "interesting" Neo2 YTube video. From what he can determine the Neo2 transmitter is not DJI Ocusync compatible. Apparently necessary for some controllers. Noted the controller that DJI bundled with the Neo original would not work. Only the MC3 and FPV RC3 + Goggles kit...

    First accessory

    Purchased a similar designed filter set (UV and CPL) after discovering the magnetic ones don't stay attached in a hard "landing". Purchased just to hopefully protect the lens from my hard "landings".

    Propellers for Neo

    Thanks for the propeller update. Ordered a 2nd Neo kit with the 3 batteries and charging hub plus a bunch of stock propellers a few months ago. Activated it. Test flew. Into storage as a back up. As long as I don't trash the FPV RC3 or Goggle3 I'm good and more or less done with DJI. Just...

    Propellers for Neo

    Can you use the stock mounting screws with the HQ 2016-3 Neo? Any other not requiring mod or non-stock screws? If the "out of stock" at store.dji continue? Aftermarket might be the only options. Problem is eventually batteries lose too much capacity or totally croak. Bad time to trash goggle...

    Are you using your Neo regularly?

    Was relatively too hot and muggy(+80F./80%RH) for up here. Today, a chamber of tourism "perfect" Lake Superior day. Low RH, ~65F/17C, clear real blue sky, and dead calm at 0930. Plus no bugs. Should get really buggy in couple days. We finally received some rain. Walls of water. Mosquito...

    Neo - Goggles 3 Help Needed

    I'm assuming from your post no Neo listed in the choice of drones to switch to? Something might be amiss with your Goggle3. Also, assuming all your hardware has been activated and shows so on your DJI Account. Menu>Status> page then notes what drone is connected with a box to click to...

    I just got the Neo and I'm having issues

    Checked the app for the last time I logged in. Log in 03/28/25. Notes DJIAppConfigOfUser..... 37KB of data added to the iPhone storage. Needed to check status of batteries. So I just loaded up a battery and test flight of both the Neo and Avata2. No issues outside of Avata2 battery was...
