I’ve never had this kind of interaction with birds until I started flying FPV. There were a few interactions here and there over the last 5 yrs but wow, it seems like every few flights I getting birds zooming at and around me. I would suppose it has a lot to do with the size of the drone because I haven’t had much of a issue when flying my A3S or A2 with birds, but I do tend to fly higher with those drones and maybe that’s a factor. I don’t mind the attention but I was never any good at tracking them as they passed because they’re so fast with the bigger drones. Using goggles affords a big advantage in that regard. What’s been your if any experience with this?

I, like you, haven't had an issue with the larger drones. And I don't fly the NEO high enough for it to be an issue. For work, I use the NEO for inside video and outside low level video. My NEO gets most of its use playing with my great granddaugther and dog :)

Since you mention work, I'm curious how you find the camera quality for professional applications. Are you using it for stills, video, or both?

Camera sensor technology has come a long way in the last ten years, and while the Neo doesn't have the largest, best sensor, it compares quite favorably against digital cameras and phones of just a few years ago. While I don't use the Neo for any professional applications, I find the quality of the results quite good in well-lighted applications, and don't usually feel the "need" to reach for the Mini 4 Pro any time I might be capturing some pics or video I want to save.

I have 2 Neos now, keep one in a case in the car at all times. Has come in pretty handy a few times with friends where the situation was well suited to nearby phone control.
