I love flying around with my FPV Drones and lately I have been zipping around a lot with my DJI NEO FPV Drone. Not because it is the best FPV drone in my arsenal but it has a good balance of video quality combined with being able to cruise around and get some decent video. The DJI NEO can record in 4k 30 fps but I prefer recording in 1080p 60 as it looks a lot smooth in the goggle, and in the final video output even with the lower resolution, and at least for FPV flying this is the way to go. For more slowed down cinematic stuff, 4k looks good too.
On this DJI Neo adventure, I came across a Red Tailed Hawk and so I decided to take my chances and see if he would allow me to get up a little closer to him. He didn't seem to mind much as I am sure he realized pretty quickly the DJI Neo was no match or threat to him. That said, I bugged out pretty quickly as I did not want to find out what would happen when a Hawk decides you are a predator. Enjoy the video, I think the little NEO does a pretty good job considering its low cost and small size.
I was having a nice rip around the yard with my DJI NEO when for no real reason the camera gimbal started freaking out causing me to crash. Here is the recorded and unedited video feed from the 1080p 60fps drone and in camera recordings.
It seems that while the gimbal was acting up, the speed data on the goggles was way faster than it should have been as I was for sure not going that fast.
I did crash my DJI NEO pretty hard into the ground a bit before this but it flying fine for a while before the gimbal acted up. I restarted my NEO and it seemed to be fine after the restart? After the incident I gave it a really good cleaning just in case some dirt got in the gimbal system?
I don't generally talk about things like vitamins, supplements or medications all that often, but I did want to make an exception and maybe in the future I will cover more topics like this if it seems to be popular?
This video focuses on a medication commonly used for animals, but can be used on humans mainly for the purpose of deworming and parasite control. The product as the name of the video implies, is called Fenbendazole and I have been giving it to my dog Sammy for several months now, and I have even been talking it myself to make sure I am controlling any parasites that I may be infected with.
A few months ago my Dog Sammy was limping and when I checked out his lower right leg, I found a hard mass in the wrist area of his right paw. The area was drastically larger than his left wrist area, and had an oval shape to it. I did a bit of research on Shepherds, and it was very common for them to get cancers in areas like this, especially when they get older, and Sammy is now 10 years old. This was not good news to say the least. I remembered hearing about a medication called Fenbendazole that has been used to treat cancers in not only dogs but also in humans, and there was a lot of anecdotal cases of Fenbendazole curing animals and humans when there did not seem to be any other options available. Keep in mind this a product primarily used to treat Animals as a deworming medication.
Long story short, within about a week or so, Sammy was no longer limping, and his hard mass was shrinking, skip ahead several months and his hard mass is completely gone, and he is acting like a much younger dog than his age. This was an absolutely amazing result!
I of course am not recommending to anyone to forgo medical treatments, but I hope to bring some other options that can be combined with a cancer treatment and may improve your outcome. You should do your own research like I did, and come to your own conclusions.
I do not fully understand the mechanism behind Fenbendazole, and how it seems to help treat illnesses like cancers and even other ailments like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, but there does seem to be a common thread with all of these diseases which is a high prevalence of parasites in the body. It could be as simple as removing the parasites allows the body to focus on other things like cancer and fight that, rather than all the toxins being produced by the parasites. Again, I am not a doctor and this is just a theory.
Anyway I talk a lot more about all of this in the video, so have a listen and perhaps you may decide to give Fenbendazole a try for yourself, even if it is just to clean out your body of parasites.
First off, DJI did not sponsor this video in any way, the bucket full of cash required to buy these items was all on me… So you are getting my real views and opinions here.
I have previously owned the HoverAir X1 which is a lot like the DJI Neo in terms of both their autonomous flight abilities. I also owned the DJI Avatar 1, but sold it a while back. So I would say I have some personal experience with these types of drones and what theyare really designed to do.
As the title of this video questions, is it a fair shootout comparing the DJI Neo to the Avatar 2? Yes and no. Both can do things that the other can not do as well or even at all. The DJI Neo is super small and compact and doesn’t even require any regulations while the DJI Avata 2 is almost 4 times the weight of the Neo and because of this, regulations can become a factor in flying it.
What can they both do:
They can both fly using the DJI Goggles 3 with your choice of either a DJI Motion Controller or the DJI FPV Remote Controller. This allows for a first person flight experience in the DJI Goggles akin to flying a jet fighter.
They both have GPS which is a nice safety feature if the drone goes out of range as it will go into return to home mode and generally fly back to you.
They both can be flown in various modes, normal, sport and manual which allows the user to fly within their given ability and be able to also unlock the full potential of each drone.
What can the DJI Avata 2 do that the DJI Neo can not?
It’s not so much a specific thing, but more that the DJI Avata 2 is just so much better at what it can do over the DJI Neo.
The camera is a huge upgrade on the DJI Avata 2 with a massive improvement in image quality, the DJI Neo is fine for recording your experiences in the moment but you will not want to use the DJI Neo for professional quality videos.
The DJI Avata 2 is just bigger and more powerful, which means it can go much faster and react to controller input much quicker allowing for more dynamic and stable video. The DJI Avata 2 is not effected by wind nearly as much and so because of this it allows you to fly it in more weather conditions.
The DJI Avata 2 Has better range not only because the specifications say so, but because it can fly faster and has a longer battery life allowing you to get out further before your battery life runs down to the point where you have to come back. This means you are able to get those shots where physically being there is not an option.
What can the DJI Neo do that the DJI Avata 2 can not?
The biggest differed between the DJI Neo and the Avata 2 is the fact that the DJI Neo can fly in an autonomous mode that uses AI and programming to perform various flight modes by simply pushing a button on the drone and having it take off in your hand. No need for a controller or even your phone. This is great for capturing life as it happens with almost no prep time involve. Just take the DJI Neo out of your pocket, pick a flight mode and press a button, the DJI Neo will either zoom out, fly in a circle around you, follow you, track you, and a bunch more cool options.
On top of that the DJI Neo does not require a physical DJI controller to fly it in manual mode, you can use the DJI Fly App and view the camera on your phones screen along with using virtual control sticks on your phone to fly the DJI Neo up to 60 meters away and 60 meter high which is a decent range using just the WiFi on your phone.
The DJI Neo only weighs around 130 grams which means it does not have to follow any drone regulation so no drone license required or other limitations standard drones have to follow.
The DJI Neo is the best way to buy into the DJI Echo System, as the cost is only $199 US or $249 Canadian for the DJI Neo Drone and included battery which is all you need to get started. The DJI Avata 2 will set you back around $1000 US or $1300 Canadian as you will need at least the Goggle and a controller to fly it.
I personally think you should get both, especially if you plan on getting the Goggles and a Controller with your DJI Neo. In that case just buy the DJI Avata 2 package that includes everything, and then pickup a DJI Neo as you will now already have the DJI Goggles and a Controller that is compatible with the DJI Neo.
My wife and I go for a lot of walks with the dogs and more often than not, we head out to a park or a local trail, as it's just a lot nicer than hitting the streets. One of our go to places is Campbell Valley Park, as on a hot day the tree coverage keeps the temperature down for the dogs and for us.
Campbell Valley Park is a beautiful park with amazing tree covered trails, marshlands and wildlife all around. There are long and short walking options depending on how much time you have and how far you want to go.
I have been enjoying flying around with my DJI Neo and capturing all kinds of great video, in this video I recorded all the video suing the DJI Neo and the DJI Neo really tells a story as I use its various shooting modes to capture our dog walk adventure. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I would make the claim that a video may be worth thousands of words? Either way, enjoy our adventure with the dogs at Campbell Valley Park.
