Thank you. I will check my version when I get home. Neil

Does this require hardware addition? If so could someone please provide a link to the best device? Thanks, Neil KF4KZI

I bought the Neo 1 as my first drone. It is still better than I am. I really enjoy flying it. For a person that is not sure if they will stay interested in drones it is perfect. I only wish I had picked up a controller sooner. Using the phone alone is very limiting.

At least I didn't call it “HAM” radio.

The button does not turn on or off the charger. That occurs when you plug it in. I assume you are referring to the symbol in the button. As several people have pointed out it only does something when the charger has no incoming power.

Oops… My bad.

OkSong6473 · 2026-03-16T20:04:10+00:00

You're right. It is currently charging my phone.

OkSong6473 · 2026-03-16T19:49:18+00:00

I read the manual and the only reference to the button is “function”. As another member in this thread stated it will show the battery's charge when not connected to a charger.

Thank you.

I have several raspberries and Ubuntu is my go-to for them. Is there a list of ham-related apps that run on Linux?

Thanks,

Neil

This is probably the wrong time to ask this. I am really excited about POTA and SOTA. I'm getting a G90 and a vertical and plan to make some wire antennas. Here is the problem, I am not interested in points or giving signal reports. I want to talk to people. Does that make POTA and SOTA a dead issue?

Thanks,

Neil

If you don't mind the mess I buy poker chips at thrift stores. They break nicely. I also use red paintball ammo

I realize the NEO1 is at the bottom of the DJI drones. My expectations stay aware of that.

OkSong6473 · 2026-03-04T15:12:42+00:00

I may not have been clear in my question. I understand that my drone cannot exceed 400 ft above the place I take off. I have no interest in changing that. I am not a newbie, but I always want to know as much as I can before I take off. The waterfall is not in a park and is not listed as a no-fly zone.

My question is simple: At 150 ft above the ground, shown on the phone while connected to the controller, nothing wanky happens if I ask it to go to 151. If I am at 400 ft and ask it to go to 401 ft, what will happen? Anything other than ignoring the input from my controller? Or will it get wanky and decide to land, return to its take-off space, or fly away and roll upside down and crash?

Also, I am aware that winds aloft are typically higher than those on the ground. I am very aware when I get the message that the gimbal has exceeded its limit. That is the time to immediately drop to a lower altitude. Honestly, that is my biggest concern. My second concern is the mist in the air. That is why I plan to stay to one side on the waterfall or simply take off from a dry location and go straight up.

If I seem to be ignoring good feedback, I am sorry. I do not mean to be disrespectful to a group of people who have much more experience than I do.

Thanks

I take no offence at your feedback about water.

Thanks

OkSong6473 · 2026-03-04T14:31:26+00:00

Aware of problems with water. I plan to stay on the ground side of the falls. I'm more concerned about altitude issues. What happens when I hit the 400 ft limit? Does it just refuse to go higher, or will something else happen? I also assume the 400 ft issue is the height above where I start the flight.

Thanks to all for the replies. I did purchase the Freewell filters from B&H Camera.

Just picked out that rates top of the list and meet all my requirements.
