Flying with others
- Thread starter RcHawks

A general concern that a friend and I have if we ever get together and fly our DJIs together. Our plan is to power up one and see if the other person's controller when active interferes before powering up the other and check in a similar manner. Then carefully launch and see with the finger on the emergency motor cut and hope that function is not interfered with if something goes wonky.
But thinking maybe not with the Neo based on owning two. After activating Neo #2 I thought that the Google3 would automatically select the Neo that was powered up. Wrong. Needed to relink Neo #1. There was no option to "switch" like you do with different DJI models in the menu. Have watch sections of Neo YTube videos of Neo following another Neo. But most seemed to be one Neo in autonomous selfie mode followed by the controlled Neo.

Well now this changes my outlook some. I walked outside to fly in my neighborhood when I hear the unmistakable sound of a neo above me. Then another drone appeared that I recognized either a M3P, or a M4P. Before I knew it they took off in high gear and were gone. So even more of a reason to be looking up!
Yes I do have refresh.

My RC2 controller defaults to Dual-band frequency and 40MHz bandwidth. Even if I change those, every time I restart the Neo it defaults back to those settings. With those settings it pretty much uses 5.8 GHz and only has 3 bands to frequency hope on.
I was at a club field during a drone race practice session. We discovered my rig was interfering with the drone pilots FPV. Every time I powered on I immediately changed to 2.4 GHz and 10 MHz bandwidth. This allowed enough unused channels for my rig to jump on an open frequency. However, I could not fly very far away without video pauses.
My guess is two Neos would work out this issue. However, other brands and a DJI might be a problem.
