some observations after todays flights

[Old Man Mavic]

so today, having now finally received the extra batteries from my original order i have a total of 4
i was able to have a good session flying using the different methods the drone has to fly it
in fully auto mode, just using the buttons on the ,drone then in follow mode i was able to average 14 minuts of flight time per battery, before the Neo self landed
since the recent firmware update the direction track feature have improved, and it stayed in front of me,as i drove around on my scooter, i have found that it is better to keep moving forwards
during direction track ,rather than stopping as after a few seconds stationary ,the drone comes back close to you ,and then it wants to land on your hand, rather than continue to move backwards if you need to keep going
also when you fly untill the drone eventually lands then there is one light showing on the battery ,today when i had finished flying ,i was not able to recharge any of the batteries for around seven hours
due to other comitments and upon pushing the button on the charging hub no lights showed up, just like they are when they are first shipped ,so it seems that they go into sleep mode to prevent over discharge
all 4 of them charged up with no issues
and finally unless the drone is being flown either with just the phone or an RC, then the flights it does in drone only mode ,are not added to the flight data logs in profile in the fly app
just wanted to pass info on that might help others ,flying the Neo

Thanks for sharing! I've had it a little slow on direction track to come and land on my hand. Not used since lasr firmware update, so look forward to seeing if this is an improvement.

então hoje, tendo finalmente recebido as baterias extras do meu pedido original, tenho um total de 4
consegui ter uma boa sessão de voo usando os diferentes métodos que o drone tem para voar
no modo totalmente automático, usando apenas os botões do drone e, no modo de acompanhamento, consegui uma média de 14 minutos de voo por bateria, antes do Neo pousar sozinho
desde a atualização recente do firmware, o recurso de rastreamento de direção melhorou e ficou na minha frente enquanto eu dirigia minha scooter, descobri que é melhor continuar avançando
durante o rastreamento de direção, em vez de parar depois de alguns segundos parado, o drone volta para perto de você e então ele quer pousar na sua mão, em vez de continuar se movendo para trás se você precisar continuar
também quando você voa até o drone finalmente pousar, então há uma luz acesa na bateria, hoje quando terminei de voar, não consegui recarregar nenhuma das baterias por cerca de sete horas
devido a outros compromissos e ao apertar o botão no hub de carregamento, nenhuma luz acendeu, assim como quando foram enviados pela primeira vez, então parece que eles entram no modo de espera para evitar descarga excessiva
todos os 4 carregaram sem problemas
e, finalmente, a menos que o drone esteja sendo pilotado apenas com o telefone ou um RC, os voos que ele faz no modo somente drone não são adicionados aos registros de dados de voo no perfil do aplicativo Fly
só queria passar informações que podem ajudar outras pessoas, voando o Neo
