Neo 2?

[Poverty Flyer]

Yeah, available only in US so far.
Whatever it takes. I want a mini 4 pro anyways.
If DJI writes the firmware updates it can be a winner.
Company or support has to stick around though.
A controller with display would be nice too.
We'll see what's going on around the holidays with drones.

MadsTech info is based on him taking a look at the FCC filing. Probably means DJI will in the near future release a FCC compliant NEO2. DJI registered two "Neo2" transmission systems. One for the Neo2 without the OcuSync and another module with. Why he is guessing the Neo2 is a non OcuSync and the module might be a plug in or integrated into a battery.

Unsure of what niche the Neo2 fills. Seems like just an evolution of the Neo. Maybe a replacement? Similar to what DJI did with the introduction of the Avata2. For immersive flying the Neo2 doesn't seem to be a major improvement. Unlike the Avata to Avata2.

Be interesting if the Neo2 is a replacement. Too bad at least in the USA no inventory of bnf Neo originals to grab at guessing a discounted price when the Neo2 releases. Would consider a 3rd for a backup to the backup.

I just guess, not sure, probably there will be a wifi only version. Many people buy Neo just to make 2-3 selfies on the vacation (in my country). For these people no occusync needed.

It better be pretty cheap if you have to be within 50 - 100 feet.
Expensive selfie machine.
Just get a loongg selfie stick.

The Neo is (also) for us "poor" old folks that can't afford 3 or more drones to fill our recreational flying desires.

Why don´t you buy 2nd hand drones? I bought all, but the 2 neos from other pilots, saving hundreds of €.

Any brand of FPV is expensive if going digital video. Price of the Goggle3 is competitive with most other digital goggles. Unless going analog you are stuck with a system specific goggle. Where we really get taken advantage of is the price of input controller and the limits of just DJI brand.

IIRC, paid $64 for RadioMaster Pocket. ELRS model. Like even my junky BetaFPV controller there is a standardized bay to plug and more or less play module to allow flying other protocols. Pocket seems to be a more solid built and versatile unit than the DJI FPV RC3 at a fraction of the cost. Uses your choice of 18650 lithium ion batteries. Option to use the built in battery charger or just pack a couple spares. When the battery croaks in the RC3 sourcing a replacement might be a PITA. Gimbal replacement on the RC3 is expensive. Don't cross thread your gimbal sticks or knock them. Strongly recommend just leaving them on and invest in or diy gimbal stick protectors. Another niggle. Limited options without diy adapters for gimbal sticks.

If you buy any quad with O4, you can use the G3 or GN3 and the FPV RC3, no need for more controllers. You can sell the pocket... The drones are not cheap, for sure, but no other hardware needed (ok, LiPos and charger)

Unfortunately can´t put YT link in, you can find tutorials a lot how to do it.

This is not that expensive:

Darwin FPV Cineape 2.0 $265.99 with O4

DarwinFPV CineApe20 2-inch Whoop FPV Drone

Summary Flight enthusiasts, it's an exciting moment!The brand-new "CineApe20" is now fully compatible with the DJI O4 series. It features a soft and impact-resistant TPU material bracket. By eliminating the cumbersome shock-absorbing balls and complex assembly processes, it has been simplified...

that´s why I sold a weeks ago my analog goggles and jumper t20. Just bind the goggles, the fpv rc3, setup in the betaflight, and you´re good to go. No more struggle with the elrs etc... you can find even tiny whoops with O4 already.
