N3 Goggles vs Goggles 3

[RcHawks]

Instead of spending money going on a trip and having a retirement party I spent my money on the drones I purchased. 7 total now and extra props and combo packs for all and 2 FPV Goggles and mc3’s and rc3. Don’t feel the least bit guilty I’ve been flying since I was 21 or 22 not drones of course but other toys as my wife called them!

I also started it many years ago, when the Spark and the Parrot Beebop came out. First just with cheap mini toy drones to practise. Then bought a Spark and colorful propellers to it.., later a 1st gen mini and Tellos. The Tello was VR goggles compatible, so I bought one. And a BT controller. That was the time, when my FPV mania started....

Yep. my first drone was a 1st generation mini. Looking back I can’t believe how nervous I was flying it starting out.

11 years ago I started with this.
I still have it and it still works.
It's like a bowling ball to fly.
Weighs over 4 pounds, no stability, 720 camera.
I've had other drones none of which were worth having.

Then came the Neo.
My last effort at drones.
So glad I found it.
Better late then never I recon.
I'm hooked now!

Cheers,

I flew these two hundreds of kilometers with the dronemask... Sold them last year. Hacked the Spark into FCC mode, for the Mini bought parabola reflectors for better signal.

This was actually not that bad. I had a similar, but it was a HolyStone drone.

At 4 lbs it will be a wall hanger or ceiling fan as I don't have the proper licensing at this time if ever.
I'll keep it as a conversation piece because it cost nothing to feed.
It really was next to impossible to fly or get good video out of.
The other drones I had were a step up but still 100 steps behind the Neo.

It gives you a lot more freedom in how it’s used and I think the pictures and video looks fine. It’s a great little drone and quite capable. It really is a lot of fun to fly.

Couldn't agree more.

I tested my new controller yesterday. Works fine and so different from the motion controller.
I should get the hang of it in 1 or 2 years.
It's on my bucket list.

I had very cheap drones without any sensors. No altitude hold and no precise hovering. They were insanely hard to fly without crashing into anything. And it was on the box: for kids. For kids, right?!
