I’d love to hear what you think to the new DJI NEO drone.

It looks great! How does it perform?

What do you like? What don’t you like?

Hi Simon here are my thoughts on the Neo
for me its a DJI taster drone ,by that i mean it is an introduction into the hobby
firstly it can just be flown using the fully autonomous features
then using a phone it introduces the Fly app and allows the Neo to be flown using Virtual joysticks and settings changes to how the drone responds
it also has voice control
then couple it with an apropriate RC and it flies just like any DJI drone and is a good way to learn manual control using the RC but it has limited performance with regards to its abilities to fly in windy weather and should only be used within a 500ft radious of the home point ,not because of signal loss but of VLOS and its ability to RTH
then if coupled with the goggles 3 and the handheld joystick or controller it gives an introduction into FPV flying, full accro not really ,under powered ,but its ok for learning on and it is priced as an intrduction into the hobby
will it replace my other DJI drones such as the Mini 4 pro No ,did i need one ,No, is it fun to fly Yes ,it follows me brilliantly as i ride around on my mobility scooter ,the main thing to remember is dont compare it to bigger brothers

Got one the other day just to play with flying FPV into unusual places such as around the garden between the flower beds.
At the gliding club we have the winch truck, abandoned trailer, club house and woods, that is if I actually get out long enough to fly it, so early days to say what I think of it…

I started on the mini3oro, updated to the 4pro (for obstacle avoidance) waited for the avata 2 (knew they’d improve it over the 1st)
Then I got the neo and loved it the most, now not in the least concerned about putting it in the air, it’s just so versatile, convenient, pocket sized
Would love 360 photos but that might come.
