Using a Timer

[RcHawks]

I’ve gotten into the habit of setting a timer for reference on how long I’ve been in the air so I have some idea of where my battery life is. I walk instead of using a bike and It seems it might be more important when using a bike. I turn and look a lot as needed to check for clearance for where I am at the time. I’d be nervous doing that on a bike I think. I can see how using a bike would greatly increase the amount of footage you would gain for the time invested for sure. So, do any of you use a timer to track your run time?

Only if flying without a controller and the app. Otherwise, you have all the info you require in the app.

I’ve been using follow mode every day for a couple of weeks now for motivation to walk, I'm tricking myself into thinking that I’m going flying.

At least you and your Neo are both getting some exercise.

We do Callanetics and Pilates daily so the walking is a great addition for me. It’s amazing how this one thing has motivated me find new spots everyday to fly (walk) involving trails and very STEEP hills to climb that I would never have found otherwise. Everyday is a new experience and seeing yourself on camera is great motivation to push on thru it. I received a new Neo battery yesterday which brings my total to 12 batteries for this drone. I carry a second Neo for backup as needed so as not to run out of storage for footage while out and about.
