The reliability and the life span of the Neo motors

[Christian]

I was a little concerned in the very beginning, because DJI has stated, that the Neo is a selfie drone, but can be flown with goggles in manual mode. It´s a cinewhoop, not a real freestyle quad, it doesn´t like acro. It´s all fine, the electro motors don´t like sudden changes in the RPM, because they can burn out. I fly almost always in manual, but don´t do acro, just cinematic flights, but I do this with maximal speed available.
The drone is in dust collector mode, doesn´t fly this year any more, so I started to check the statistics. I got shock. It flew 554 km (344 miles) and the motors are still fine, work properly I don´t know how long This is much more, than I ever expected...

If someone has more, please post.

I´m very satisfied with the drone.
