Is NEO the new Mini?

[Chrislaf]

Yesterday I flew my NEO like I would have flown my Mini 3 Pro. I flew out over a frozen lake to a creek I often fly to. Aside from the shorter battery life and lack of automated camera functions (AEB, Pano modes), it felt like I was flying my Mini 3 Pro. I have to wonder if DJI will make the NEO the low-end Mini and just keep the Pro mini's in their line-up.

As I've mentioned here, I'm hoping for a SuperNeo that competes with the Hover X1 Pro MAX. Think mini Avata 2 with an even better camera.

I've had the Neo now for a little over a month and I'm flying this thing almost every day. I'm actually thinking about upgrading to the Mini. I never realized how much fun these are.

For me, I am flying my NEO almost every day too. Since I got my NEO, I am flying my Mini 3 Pro a lot less, unless I need it to do something the NEO can't do.

I'm flying the Neo with the RCN3 and holy cow it is so much fun. I keep pushing the distance more and more everyday. I want to venture out further than the battery will allow me hence the want for a mini. Maybe I'll just wait for DJI to come out with a bigger battery...fingers crossed.

Purchase more batteries.

That's what I did about an hour ago because you're correct, the NEO is so much fun putzin' around.

My Mavic Air 2 hasn't flown for a while and is jealous.

I just purchased my 4th battery...one always loaded in the Neo and the other 3 in the chute ready to go.

I also just purchased a 4th battery - a Christmas present to myself. More batteries increase the flights you can make but doesn't increase the overall flight time which limits how far and how long you can be in the air on a single battery.
