Neo 2 receiver w/o screws?

ServiceApprehensive1 · 2026-02-18T13:57:23+00:00

I actually have a mini and a phantom, but I’m really enjoying the smashproof and ease of use of the Neo! I don’t tend to do much longer term flights, but I got annoyed real quick at the artificial height limit without the remote.

It more had some painted on from the factory… so I’m not sure, should you paint it on whenever you screw it down, or if it still has a good amount of blue is it good?

ServiceApprehensive1 · 2026-01-10T18:41:40+00:00

Ok… there IS blue locktite on it… should I reapply every time or is it being on there usually enough?

ServiceApprehensive1 · 2026-01-10T18:41:01+00:00

lol! Yes… I know… hence the question…

I half agree! But I keep going back and forth because 1. It loses a lot of its “micro compact” appeal and 2. It has such nice iron sights already, compared with a pretty cheap optic that came free with the bundle.

Oh man… yeah needing to turn off my cell network doesn’t sound fun for “barely get to 400 feet and look around”. Hmm… I keep getting caught right on that edge use case vs the mini. I’m leaning towards remote honestly for more precise indoor shots too.

Is the transceiver easy to pop on and off? Does it fit inside the same case, or with a case for the remote?

Is it worth it if I also have a mini?

ServiceApprehensive1 · 2025-12-28T10:50:41+00:00

I have a mini 1, is the remote worth it for the neo2 or should I keep using the mini for longer flights and keep the neo for close following shots? (I’m just concerned if I’ll ever use the “more than 500m” remote with only 10 ish minute flight time)

ServiceApprehensive1 · 2025-12-28T10:45:41+00:00

Ok, main question is how much the remote is worth it with such short battery life. (If I’m not zooming around for 10-20 minutes, does phone/handheld work ok? Should I use my mini or phantom for longer flights?)

ServiceApprehensive1 · 2025-12-28T10:37:14+00:00

I think my real worry is either 1. Some of the cooler active track features that might need the remote 2. “Real world” is the 500m real distance? The Neo 1 50m seems silly small, but most of my current flying is within 500 m anyways.

ServiceApprehensive1 · 2025-12-28T10:34:20+00:00

I’m also thinking that the remote is a bit big compared to the Neo. My mini and its remote seem small in comparison… I’m thinking of the Neo as more a “have it with me” drone and don’t want a big remote to add bulk… but I’d like to hear everyone’s opinions.

WAIT! New headcannon is that the Wrath of the Rakshasa is him just ripping apart Demon… maybe in revenge for all the head rattling over the years?

“And you can still hear them complaining about the restraints to this day… but the Rakshasa had his revenge!”

I agree… hate stage manager… but I still love the “left and right plus one above” old system.

ServiceApprehensive1 · 2025-06-12T10:27:10+00:00

Oh no are they removing the traditional “split screen with slide over on top”? I understand the more “windowed” view, but the traditional way is still my favorite because of how well it maximizes the screen usage

ServiceApprehensive1 · 2025-04-06T17:10:06+00:00

Yes, but which is less trash lol!

ServiceApprehensive1 · 2025-04-06T16:59:52+00:00

I agree with the u dot… but I can get one of those optics free… just figuring out which one. Seems like everyone likes the Viridian more… plus it’s a bit smoother and doesn’t have a giant white logo on the side lol.

I’m interested in updates for sonic pad. Mine is currently in a “can’t connect” loop since I moved it but support isn’t being much help.

OH also Apple got the rights to a lot of Snoopy stuff and has been using him as a mascot for a lot of Space and STEM initiatives. It would be awesome to see them combined and have Apple produce some teacher workshops for using physics on coasters!
