The drone you are asking for that combines all 3 is called a Skydio 2. DJI, please make one of these and i promise you I will give you my money!!

Can't wait till your Air 3s video. You probably been flying it for a month or more I'm sure. I been waiting on 3s since the 3 was released. I still Have my Air2s

The term "vlog" was first used in 2002, according to Merriam-Webster and the Oxford English Dictionary. 😆🤣 Still, the Neo is pretty impressive for $199. Maybe the "soon to be released" Air 3S will incorporate the enhanced tracking capabilities. 🤞

the DJI NEO can have Active FocusTrack if you use the DJI RC-N3 because of its onboard processing. the phone is limited due to battery and processing cycles .. also being part of the experience. its important for them to make sure they dont kill your phones battery or over heat it or slow down its response so it offloads it... making this a great starter to allow you to not have to get a controller and a new drone if you wanted something more capable. you would just need to upgrade the drone having already a good controller. you could also ways get this and go with a higher end active FocusTrack feature ready controller.

Very enjoyable review. Thanks. I think you can operate the gimbal in the phone app. There is a greyed out slider on the right of the camera image that you can use.

If it falls behind you, trust me, you will notice by the lack of crazy noise.
I don't think the so called "path tracking" can be implemented by firmware. It is probably an AI thing of the Neo's SOC. So, yeah, don't expect it in any other current DJI drone. For sure it will be in the DJI Mini 5 Pro.

[RonaldBrown]

I like the way the Neo tracks you. Nice testing, thanks for sharing.

do you need the dji mic2 rx and tx to use it with the NEO or will just the tx work?
I noticed the action5 vlog kit comes with just the mic2 tx.

Thanks Billy - this video answered so many questions that I had - that other videos just didn’t seem to cover clearly! Loved your initial video on the Neo too! I’m really happy with my Neo so far and have some cool ideas of how to make the most of it! Keep up the great work!

The height and far setting is still way way way to close! Cmon dji update the settings for further autonomous tracking! A lot of the camera shots don’t even look like a drone because it’s to close and to low in height! Fix ASAP

[miken]

Billy, Love your content! ❤
Q Have you heard if DJI will improve the capabilities and fuctionality of the Googles 3, I own the Air 3 and wen using the Googles 3 I am not able to change the cameras and other functionalities. Thank you!

Hello, how can I find out how many devices my Jasempashi drone has worked, I don't want it from the remote control.

[cretivity]

This is probably the first DJI drone that I know of that had the announcement but doesn’t ship until early October unless someone knows how to get it sooner.

[paullthomas]

Awesome Video and Flight Information. Thanks, Billy!
Happy Flying!

[masmohdsudianto]

Good day sir, can dji mini 2 remote use on dji Neo..?
2nd, can dji Neo follow in front of you..?

[ikdig]

Why does it say its flying 49 mph at 10:15 ? It CANNOT fly 78 KMH

[driewiel]

Will the Neo follow a drawing or photo of a person or doll?

[gbudihartono]

6:26 is neo ? Neo doesn’t have proximity sensor😅

[vablaze]

What is the approximate altitude for the different heights you can set when following, as well for the other quick shots? And the approximate distance in feet in the follow modes?

[ROBSOLUTELY]

I'm being told that even the NEO is not legal in the USA?! What do you know about it? Do you need a Flight 107 to use the Neo and upload to a monetized YouTube channel?
