[Camera Drones] Breaking the speed limit - How fast is your drone? Find out on our leaderboard!

Someone has to be at the bottom, it gives me something to strive for, something better, or should I say - FASTER?

Edit - Will the Neo 2 go any faster, what with the restrictions to meet the new regs, only time will tell…

It will if it’s flown in manual mode, using the G3 & FPV RC3, that’s how I got 46.93 mph with the Neo 1.

Thanks for the heads up mate, I’ll have to catch up with you some time for details of how that is achieved. I’m still learning about the FPV side…

He’ll happily demonstrate it with yours. You have care refresh right?

You attending the BM in June or Sept?

I’ll happily assist you, once you go manual you’ll not go back.

No regs on speed (in an open field anyway)

You should be able to meet the Neo top speed, in manual.

Just going through logs

Upping the 360 to 44.38mph which will move it up a place to 33rd in the table knocking @mickydd and his Matrice 600pro down a spot

My bad, stupid night shift brain

C0 and C1 labeled drones are firmware-restricted to 19m/s by the specs of the class mark certification process

But so are green lights, so lets see how it plays out, I’m sure you’ll squeeze more out of it at the BM

Hope to, well lets put it this way, I’m all booked and paid up, but I have so much going on, there’s still a question mark as to if I can actually attend. I will be doing my utmost to be there, even if it’s for one day only!

Edit - In the meantime, I’ll be out to see what it can do!

19m / sec is equal to 42.5 mph.

Which is still a considerable speed.

I got out with the Mini 3 this afternoon, nice and calm if overcast, but little to no wind! and missed a new speed record by a mere 0.05mph, I logged 36.19mph, the current record is 36.24mph!

Next time!!

What did Arnie say? ‘I’ll be back!’

@Committee can I increase my standing in the table for the DJI Neo 2 please. 24.99mph, recrded yesterday!

Many thanks, that was recorded in sports mode without really trying too hard. Now have the FPV bits and pieces to go manual and push further p the table!

Upped a position to 46th, I’m sure there is a top 30 place in this little fella, going to need manual flight though

Working on the manual flight bit, still a beginner with it ATM!

Thanks!

If you brought Care Refresh when you first brought the Neo2, keep sending it in manual, it’s £20 for a replacement :+1:t2:

Yep, I purchased CF and I’ve been practicing Sport mode as I don’t have anywhere that is a very easy location to get to, just my garden, which is very wide but does ot go back very far. But it does to practice!
