DJI NEO 2 TESTS GONE WRONG?! 😳 RTH, SPORTS MODE & LOW BATTERY OVER WATER! #shaunthedrone #djineo2

In today’s video on Shaun the Drone, I’m putting the DJI Neo 2 to the test using the DJI RC 2 controller… but things didn’t exactly go to plan! 😳
I’ve got 3 real-world tests for you — including one that forced me to do a factory reset before I could even get started!
🚁 TEST 1 – CONTROLLER SHUTDOWN OVER WATER
What happens if you turn OFF the DJI RC 2 while flying over the sea?
Will the DJI Neo 2 trigger Return to Home (RTH) automatically?
👉 But first… disaster! The drone wouldn’t connect to the controller, and I had to head home and carry out a full factory reset before retrying.
⚡ TEST 2 – SPORTS MODE TAKEOFF
If you set your controller to Sports Mode before takeoff, what actually happens?
Does it stay in Sports Mode… or switch back to Normal?
👏 Big thanks to two subscribers for suggesting this one!
🔋 TEST 3 – LOW BATTERY OVER THE SEA
Flying out over water until the Low Battery warning kicks in…
What does the DJI Neo 2 actually do?
👉 Again… not quite the result I expected!
⚠️ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER
These tests are carried out for demonstration purposes only.
❗ DJI clearly states: DO NOT FLY OVER WATER
