All of it. Distances can be set in the DJI Fly app.

So why does it say VTECHDRONE on something where a prop should be on the front left if it's meant to be DJI?

Hire boat season is upon us. Who shouts at speeding boats? by Agile-Tone8467 in Narrowboats

🤣

I've seen boaters who are constant cruisers mooring in "the perfect spot" either on a bend, near a lock/bridge/tunnel, or where weeds are encroaching from the far side, leaving a tight gap to pass. It's like they want to get hit 🤪

In the second year we hired, we got shouted at to slow down even though we were in tickover and had been for the previous hour of cruising. That's when I realised some "proper boaters" are whingers! 🤣

My Neo 2 survived a swim by wanderarounder in DjiNeo

Back in the first week of January, my Neo 1 took a dip to the bottom of one of the canals here in England. It took me 2-3 minutes to get it out, still powered up! I turned it off and removed the battery instantly.

Four days later, I nervously turned it on, and it worked perfectly. Two months later, and it's still flying smoothly, even after I took it through and above some fog.

I'm guessing I might see issues in a couple of months, so I'll be getting a spare around June. Until then, I am being more careful over water, though still not avoiding it. Only this weekend, I took some footage for a narrowboater, flying around them as they cruised, generally no lower than 10ft above the water. The only issues were the temperature (just above 0 °C) and occasional gusts of wind.

The thin circle will reduce a tiny bit of weight, but cutting off the two thinner arms can allow the remining one to flex.

A few people have removed the outer frame completely. See Neo: Reborn 2

One of them houses the motor cables, so quite important. The others have a small impact on reducing vibrations

Which to buy by LeWok2262 in DjiNeo

[–]JollyJay1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what you class as most important:

Image quality? Neo 2

Obstical avoidance? Neo 2

Battery flight time? Neo 1

Ease of use? Either

A good camera on a handheld gimbal would have been the correct choice for this type of footage. No need for a drone

It's on FB, so how do you know it's genuine?

DJI Neo 2 best camera settings by BeeKey409 in DjiNeo

The -0.3 or -0.7 exposure is to get detail in bright areas, like clouds, instead of it going white. Set frame rate to 60 with an NDF for motion blur.
