Скачать или смотреть First RTH Test with the DJI Neo 2 — A Tiny Drone Finding Its Way Home

This was my first Return‑to‑Home test with the DJI Neo 2 — filmed at the end of a workday — and a simple moment to see how this tiny drone behaves in cold air, darkness, and a bit of winter wind.

This isn’t a long‑range test — the Neo 2 can fly much farther than this — but a practical check to see whether it can actually find its way back when you need it to.

Flying in the dark is always a little unpredictable.
The Neo 2 handled it well: stable enough to fly smoothly, but still sensitive to gusts and drifting cold air. In the first test it returned from around 300 meters and landed just next to the cardboard in the snow — close enough to count, but not quite on target.

The second test was a little farther, a little darker, and a little windier.
Again the Neo 2 came back, and again it missed the cardboard — this time by a bit more. If that cardboard had been a tiny boat, the Neo 2 would definitely have missed the harbor.

Flying in cold, dark conditions isn’t ideal — batteries drain faster and wind becomes harder to judge — but it’s fascinating to explore what a small drone like this can do.
Footage was recorded in the standard settings: 4K, 60 fps.

Edited in DaVinci Resolve with basic colour adjustments, a LUT, music, a few subtle sound effects, and the usual bit of creativity and patience.

Let me know what you think of the Neo 2’s Return‑to‑Home behaviour in these cold and dark conditions.
