    Should i get the neo 2?

    I have no idea what the OP's use case is, other than his declaration that "I NEED THE 360 APAS(obstacle avoidance)" which only makes sense for selfie footage, right? Beyond that, I think everything I said was objectively true. And the OP said nothing of ruggedness or fun-to-fly as decision...

    Neo 2 antennas

    Everything I'm reading says the module is required for use with a controller or goggles. Is that untrue?

    Hi, from Wilmington, NC

    If you are used to the Mavic 2 Pro (or perhaps Mavic Air 2?) the Neo 2 will be dramatically different in terms of flight characteristics. It is a fun little drone but it can't withstand much wind at all and it is simply not a good platform for cinematic shots in my experience. Also, you can't...

    Neo 2 antennas

    I put this one on mine after reading of several breakages...and seeing the cost of the replacement module! I've flown mine a fair amount in acro so I think it's a small price to pay for potentially saving $50. One surprise benefit: I was flying at an event yesterday and I was using an RID module...

    Should i get the neo 2?

    I presume you have received it, yes? My only comment would be that for those using these drones for object tracking, I guess the APAS is useful, but I almost never use it on any drone because it disrupts footage by getting "startled" by nearby objects. Also I have found that the Neo and Neo2 are...

    Overly Sensitive Sticks

    I would contact DJI support. I know they are challenged where I live in the US, but if they confirm it is in fact a problem with the drone, they will offer to repair it under warranty. I did this with a brand new Air3S not long ago. Unfortunately it took 10 weeks to get the replacement. So, if...

    Neo could simulate manual mode (banking) footage in Sport mode due to gimbal tilt, but I can't find how to do it with Neo 2. What am I missing?

    Thanks. I wish that were true but it isn't. I tried Rocksteady on and off and while it does change the video slightly, it does not introduce banking while turning, which is all that "FPV Mode" does on the hover drones. I think my only real option is an Avata 2.

    Neo could simulate manual mode (banking) footage in Sport mode due to gimbal tilt, but I can't find how to do it with Neo 2. What am I missing?

    I have a very specific question. I love flying the Neo in FPV Sport mode with Goggles N3 and FPV RC 3. The single-axis gimbal gives me wonderful banking footage through turns without the need to try and fly in Manual mode. I now have a Neo 2 and unfortunately I can't find a way to fly in the...

    Wearable microphone

    I bought the DJI Mic Mini and have had very good success using it with the Neo. You can get one for $59. How much was the DeWalt?
