I recently discovered that DJI Fly can be used from an Apple Watch, so naturally I had to try it with the DJI Neo 2.
In this video, I test the DJI Neo 2 with my Apple Watch Ultra 3 to see what you can actually control directly from your wrist.
The iPhone is still needed to make the initial connection to the drone, but once everything is connected, you can put the phone in your pocket and control many of the DJI Neo 2 functions directly from the Apple Watch.
I test different flight modes, camera controls and see how much of the DJI Neo 2 experience actually works from the watch.
This is my first indoor test. Next step is taking it outside and seeing how useful it is in a real flight situation.
Compatible Apple Watch models:
Apple Watch Series 8
Apple Watch Series 9
Apple Watch Series 10
Apple Watch Series 11
Apple Watch Ultra
Apple Watch Ultra 2
Apple Watch Ultra 3
In this video I am using an Apple Watch Ultra 3.
