DJI NEO Do It All Mini Drone Full Review

This is not an unboxing first impression video with basic out of the box test videos. This video is going to go over how the DJI NEO actually performs comparing to the HoverAir X1 and other DJI dedicated Drones and FPV Drones.

I have used different drones to do everything the DJI NEO claims to do, but can the DJI NEO really do it all and if so can it do it all as good or good enough?

The short answer is yes it can do it all but will it meet your specific expectations?

I don’t claim to be a pro at any of the things the DJI Neo can do, but I have at least some experience using the HoverAir X1 for the past year which is a similar experience as what you get with the base model DJI NEO out of the box.

I also have owned and flown standard DJI Drones with remote control setups for taking those cinematic flying around smooth shots. The DJI NEO out of the box can do limited distance and height using your DJI NEO with your phone in Manual Mode. You can also purchase the DJI NEO Fly More Kit that comes with the RC-N3 Controller and unlock almost limitless distance and even more features out of your DJI NEO.

I owned the first generation DJI Avata and flew it with the motion controller similar to what you can do with the DJI NEO when combined with the DJI Goggles 3 and RC Motion 3 Controller. That experience really got me more interested in experimenting with FPV drones.

I now own a bunch of FPV drones in various styles and sizes and use them with my DJI Goggles and Manual Controller to fly in full Manual Acro Mode for a true fps experience.

Hey bro, I noticed on the DJI official website that they've mentioned AirPods can be used for voice control and serve as audio input for the app. That means no need to shell out extra cash for a separate mic. You should totally give pairing them a whirl and see how it goes.

Most honest and best review out there. I love it that you have all original long clips without cutting out much. It gives us a clear idea.

Thanks

Not sure, but others have asked the same question. There is a lot going on in the US with DJI and regulations, so maybe they want to sell the NEO in its base form, which is limited in distance and height.

How did you get it to fly backwards in tracking mode. I can only get mine to follow from behind

Question... Do you know why the US version of the Fly More Combo doesn't include the controller? You have to purchase it separately, which makes the drone far more expensive than non US markets. No one seems to be talking about this issue.

Is this an upgrade from the original 29:23 mavic air in terms of video quality?

I don't buy Apple stuff, even though I have an iPad Air 5, and difficult to transfer data from other devices, Samsung phones. If you buy an SSD you have to format it with a Macbook that it will format for Apple products. iPad can't format your SSD.dji getting rich selling drones to Russia and Ukraine.
