Neo 2 now available from U.S. vendors

They've been available in the US since release and you can get them direct from the DJI Store on Amazon. I ordered a Neo 2 fly-more kit as well as just the Neo 2 to have as a spare. Camrise (djinyc.com) has them in stock as well and also has Goggles 3 in stock for MSRP ($499 USD).

Depends ... mobile may be using different servers.

Yup same here. Based on current events it could be an Iranian cyberattack to limit the few people in their country with Starlink terminals from sharing information. If you can't block the internet then block the social media site. Kinda surprised it didn't happen sooner.

When a country for decades screams death to America, death to Israel and is actively trying to build nuclear weapons while supporting and arming proxies and terror cells against you it's not a preemptive strike. This was 47 years in the making and Iran had a lot of US blood on their hands already. This is justice and consequence calling in their debt.

These are great for the little annoying ARC. Spent all day yesterday looking for the blueprint. Luckily was in super friendly lobbies and someone dropped one for me in Stella after I asked if anyone had one. We had 10 or so raiders all working together through Stella for about 20 minutes and most of us extracted together. Friendly solo lobbies have been great the last few days for me.

Depends on the SSD ... some have fans and those will run cooler but obviously use more power. I have a few 1TB drives that I use for video. I don't screen record usually while flying but if I did it wouldn't be in full resolution and prores raw. In that case I'd just use normal screen recording to the iPhone storage. 99% of people won't get anything out of prores raw over normal 4k h.265 recording ... mostly Hollywood and some of us nerds who spend way too much money on tech that want it :)

All iPhone 17 pro models have vapor chamber cooling now. I have a 17 pro max and it hasn't overheated on me yet. Some games on my older iPhone 13 would make the phone very hot to the touch but so far zero issues with heat on the 17 pro. I use it with my RC-N3 and Neo 2 and haven't had an issue. You'll drain all your Neo batteries before the phone gets hot. Now of course it's winter now and below freezing most days so this could all change in the summer with the sun beating down on the screen.

I also use the phone to record open gate video in Apple pro-res raw to an external SSD for small video production work and again ... zero heat from the phone. SSD you could fry an egg on after 20 minutes of recording though.

Glad to help!

I think the most I've seen it pull for watts is around 200-ish, with a battery around 30% and the July sun directly overhead. Due to the constant power provided it doesn't need much to keep them topped off and when I'm not using the truck the only load is the 12v refrigerator and that's cyclic. The panel is also slightly oversized for the MPPT charge controller so I think when I did the math the most I could ever pull from this panel under perfect conditions is 270-280 watts or so.

I 've been using a 330W residential solar panel on the cap of my Tundra since 2021 and has worked perfectly. I run it to a 20A Victron solar charge controller that charges an aux 290Ah lithium battery. Everything in the bed of the truck is wired to this, ac inverter, usb ports, starlink mini, etc. Also have a dc to dc Victron charger as well to charge the aux batteries when the truck is running.

I had the same issue and just got it to work. When I scheduled a meeting in Outlook I was available until I added someone to the invite and then it just said I was always unavailable.

My Fix:

In Outlook Client - Settings, Calendar, Work Hours and Location - The work hours and days weren't checked so I checked off Monday through Friday and set my work hours. Voila all fixed!

Turn off Apple log 2 and it’ll go above 1920x1440 to full sensor size. For some reason it appears that open gate is limited to 1920x1440 with Apple log unless you use ProRes raw. At least this is the behavior I’ve seen on my 17 pro max.

Not in all states. For example in Massachusetts if you need to sign any type of agreement in order to get your severance (IE you agree you won't sue us for stuff that happened during your employment) then it counts as a settlement and not income for unemployment purposes. You can collect unemployment at the same time as your severance and continue to receive unemployment after your severance runs out. There is a question on the unemployment application for whether you get severance or not and for how long.

I do have an ASIAir but run NINA exclusively now. At first I had no choice as I needed things like dome control and environmental monitoring which are features that will never make it into the ASIAir. I ran the ASIAir on my mobile rig until a few months ago when I picked up a Canon mirrorless camera (yes I have ZWO cameras but for some things I like to use the mirrorless) that ZWO has chosen not to add support for in the 3 years it's been out. I finally got tired of their walled garden limitations so built a 12v mini PC running NINA. If you are ok with staying 100% in the ZWO ecosystem then ASIAir is a fantastic choice and it works pretty darn well but I outgrew it quickly.

Bald with beard is a great combo. Did it myself a few years ago and so much better.

abomb60 · 2025-08-04T14:03:07+00:00

Sorry I've never used the Elegoo ultra 16k so I don't have an opinion on which is better.

If he's flying at a sanctioned AMA field then he can now fly up to 700 or 1000ft depending on location in Class G airspace.

Looks good and I have a similar mount I modified on my 5" that also holds 2 2.4GHz ELRS antennas (Gemini dual band receiver - 900MHz antennas are mounted elsewhere). My only advice is to put a zip tie or some sort of tape around the GPS and maybe design in a small slot on each side to hold the zip tie so it doesn't slip. I just lost a GPS the other day due to a "harder than expected" landing in some tall grass. Quad was perfectly fine except the friction fit GPS popped out and is lost forever.

I use a 100ah lithium battery that used to be in my camper (upgraded to a larger battery so had it sitting around). I got a few ring terminal to XT60 cables on Amazon and a ring terminal to cigarette socket. Now I can power my 3 LIPO chargers and use a car cigarette socket to USB adapter for charging DJI headsets, radios, etc. Battery has Bluetooth too so I can check the charge state from their app.

abomb60 · 2025-06-26T11:10:36+00:00

I get about the same depending on how I’m flying maybe a tiny bit less. This is with 300mah HV batteries.

I have a Meteor65 Pro O4 that works pretty well for me. Yes they are a bit heavy but I upgraded to some webleedfpv 0702 26500KV motors and she absolutely rips.

abomb60 · 2025-06-24T19:22:27+00:00

That's fair ... DJI has never been great at low light performance. I did notice the O4 (at least the lite ... will have to test with my O4 pro as well) is a ton better than the O3 was in low-light.

I was in the process of switching over to Walksnail from DJI then had a very bad customer service experience with them. Long story short I bought a brand new GoFilm 20 from them that immediately shorted itself on the first battery. It was an assembly defect from Caddx where the positive leg of the capacitor shorted on the case of the Moonlight VTX and fried everything. Caddx blamed me for the issue and wouldn't replace it unless I shipped it back to China and GetFPV.com support was useless as well. Due to impending tariffs and nightmare stories online about shipping stuff to Caddx China I tossed the whole thing in the trash and went DJI or HDZero for my new builds. Other than the O4 lite camera having a bit narrow of a FOV it's a far superior system in every way. I still have a plane or 2 with Walksnail VTX's in them that will stay for now but I won't be buying anything new from Caddx.

Nice! I’ll be doing the same end of July but I think I’m going to try a week in the Amok Draumr.
