Goodbye Neo… my drone flew away into the woods

Doesn’t the Neo have a ‘find my drone’ feature like other DJI drones? My Mavic 3 can even make a beeping sound to help locate it.

Nope, this one’s gone for good.

Wow, that’s a bit disappointing for a DJI drone. There’s a new one called the DJI Flip coming soon. Maybe wait for that?

Are you sure? I have the same drone, and it does have the ‘find my drone’ feature.

It does, but only if you’re using the app.

I saw a YouTube video about the same thing happening to someone else today.

That’s wild.

I think it’s heading for New Jersey.

Maybe it’s flying with the other drones over Jersey now.

Probably.

An AirTag might mess with the GPS. I tried one on my Avata 2, and it didn’t work well.

Does the Neo even have GPS?

Yeah, it tests GPS to check for restricted areas before flying. The app keeps it active.

These kinds of questions can easily be googled, you know?

Doesn’t the Avata have its own ‘find my drone’ feature?

AirTags don’t use GPS… does the Bluetooth interfere with the drone’s GPS?

38

AirTags only work within 200 feet. If your drone goes farther, it won’t help.

I just saw a YouTube video about someone losing their Neo the same way. It flew up and away, hovered until the battery died, and then landed. They managed to recover it though.

I’ve heard about this happening to other DJI Neo owners. It seems to happen on days with poor visibility or low light. Probably an issue with the sensors.
