DJI Neo Review & Avata 2 Comparison - Gimmick or Game Changer?

Download Sample Video and Stills from DJI Neo:

The Neo is an awesome all new tiny drone from DJI which offers up some very intriguing features in a tiny package. In this video I’m going to put it through all the testing I can think of to decide if it’s a gimmick or a game changer. I will use the drone with the remote controller. I will test fly it in full manual control with FPV goggles while putting it up against the DJI Avata 2 in a head to head comparison. I will also test out the smart modes.

I have watched more than a few neo reviews vids and yours was my favorite! Thank you!

[mr.morales]

I Watched their ad and bought it directly. This is gonna be a gamechanger for vlogging

Absolutely unreal that you can adjust sharpness, Noise Reduction through Goggles 3. I have an Avata 2 - recent purchase, and I ordered THIS to learn Manual/Acro on instead of crashing my new Avata!

Neo is a must-have after watching your video! DJI, take my money! 💸

I think they should have put the follow, chase, and auto modes into the Avata 2, because everything the Neo is doing, I would rather it would have the power, camera, speed, and size of the Avata 2. So basically the Avata 2 with the auto functions and the hand landing the Neo has going for it. Why have two drones when one could have done the job. I could actually see frame glitching/jumping in the side by side footage between the Avata 2 and Neo. The Avata 2 was so much smoother.

Dude, cannot believe I only discovered your channel today! Baie dankie vir die videos!

Thanks for the review, really helpful. I do disagree with your point with the neo not being suitable as an entry level FPV drone: While it's true, that you still need to buy the expensive equipment, what scares a lot of people as a beginner FPV pilot is the fact that one bad mistake could cost you your drone, And for the Avata 2 that would be extremely expensive, while for the neo you "only" lose 200, - bucks.

"And we are cruising, HA."🤣
Nice review👌

I have both, I think they complement each other

[zomgneedaname]

Cape Town is just crazy photogenic from any angle

I have a Mavic 2 pro and an Avata 2, I am impressed with the safety and flight time of the Avata 2 which could be a perfect drone with the Camera and sensor of the Mavic 2 pro. I believe that the modifications are made to maintain the market, in each version there is a lack that is complemented in another.

Did you notice the footage at the lookout point was really jerky? Was that YouTubes processing or the drone? The rest of the clips looked fine. Great vid, thanks!

Can’t wait to get to Cape Town to fly the mini 4 pro such a beautiful city

[ClaytonBoyle]

What a lovely beach - nice video, thank you!

[afterburnerrc]

Wow great review! How I haven’t run across your channel by now is a mystery as I think your review of the NEO was great, best I have seen yet. Keep up the great work and already sub’d.

[jkk]

Flying that lil guy in CPT is brave! hahaha

[dwightflowers]

I love your explanation on the neo I can’t wait to get mine it’s back ordered by the way what country are you showing the demonstration of the neo.
