When using phone with manual control mode Neo can fly 50m from takeoff point - as long as its within wifi range. Wifi range of Neo is also fairly poor so removing this doesn't really make much sense unless you are using a wifi extender to boost the signal.

This video is the most successful video on his channel with 150k views in a month. I am sure it already paid for a lost drone or two. Scripted drama appears to be the main building block of mediocre YT careers.

DJI has closed their STEAM / EDU deparment, Tello and Robomaster are slowly vanishing. So I don't think we will ever see any simple SDK similar to what Tello has.

accidents happen 😇

I think this one we can rule out. They even added logistics complexities by creating a special FMC without RC just for the US.

Manual says it needs to be connected to the app every X days (60? can't remember) to use it in palm launch mode. I guess this is mostly to update the no fly zones but as a side effect it will be some kind of theft protection

At first sight it looks like a dramatic fail that had a happy ending. He * Started at 95% * kept prop guards * Spent 20s hovering in place * forgot to check its in Sport mode * at turning point continued out towards the sea * If wind was problem he could have lowered the drone when at sea under...

I hope that re-designed props will make a difference, but with with room limited by the air funnel I don't think there is much they can do. Also I expect a good chunk of the noise is the motors / ESC.

Many happy customers post in several FB groups. One guy even bought a second Neo for his wife at Drone Supply. Cute. Scam

Folding is one feature, but currently X1 also has a better tracking algo, is faster during follow, and has more mature software. Neo is still a bit rough and unfinished. Neo will surely get better over time but right now Neo's directional track can't compete with X1's Dollytrack YT videos...

tjhe one that came with the FMC. RC-N3 that is I think?

changed ISO and EV to minimum while connected to RC. The video feed was extremely dark now. Turned off RC, re-connected using wifi and the video was back to normal. Turned on RC, reconnected and video was back to dark. So the seems to use separate profiles.

Fair!. Lets rephrase: Very few people in china care about your panties. The military surveilance agent that this legislation targets is not interested in your panties. At least not from a professional point of view. 😅

Have you thought about the original X1? I expect it to come down into similar price region as soon as the X1 pro arrives. I don't like their marketing & pricing tricks, but overall the device is reliable and the dev team seem to be focussed on enhancing user experience - where I feel DJI is...

Nobody in china cares about your panties. Drones can be used as a portable wifi scanner and sniffer, allowing poeple to gather sensitive info. Just like phones - but phones are easily banned from sensitive facilities. Drones can fly over sensitive facilities, or nearby without being noticed.
