DJI Neo 2 Smartphone Flying Test – Real World App Performance!

DJI Neo 2 flying with just a smartphone — no remote, no hands-free 📱🚁 In this real-world outdoor test, I control the DJI Neo 2 using only the DJI Fly App and show what smartphone flying is actually capable of in practice.

Instead, this video focuses on real-life usability: manual phone control, automated flight modes, QuickShots, and how the DJI Neo 2 performs when you’re really out flying — in normal conditions, not a perfect setup. I’ll show what works surprisingly well, where phone control reaches its limits, and whether flying with just a smartphone is a realistic option — or if a traditional controller still makes more sense. 👉 In the next video, I’ll take the DJI Neo 2 to a more countryside location and test it up to 120 meters in altitude, again in a real outdoor environment and hopefully better weather conditions 🌤️ 💬 What’s your impression of flying a drone with just a smartphone?
