It’s time for a new drone sports testing Gauntlet: The Mallorcan Gauntlet. This one is objectively more challenging than the long-standing Amsterdam-based Gauntlet. Both for the drones, but frankly, me trying to piece the portions together.
In any case, the first entrant to this course is the new DJI NEO 2, which takes the existing DJI NEO 1, substantially upgrades the imaging pipeline (and video quality), and then adds in a bunch of super useful gesture-based controls (arguably the first time I’ve ever found any gesture-based control system even halfway useful, most just suck).
As always, this test features a few core sections:
- Stage 1: An initial slightly easier warm-up period testing tree avoidance, following and different angles
- Stage 2: A much tighter mountain-bike course, with tons of branches into the trail itself
- Stage 3: A high-speed follow section, up to the claimed speed limits of the DJI NEO 2
- Stage 4: The Yolo section, riding down into an abandoned building/resort, through concrete structures and more.
As always, this video is definitely not sponsored. And more critically, like all my videos, no manufacturer has seen this video beforehand (DJI now requires almost all reviewers they seed with early access units to send a copy of their review to them for ‘approval’, something I definitely don’t agree with, thus…why my DJI reviews are a bit later after the products I’ve purchased finally arrive).
With that – enjoy the video!
