DJI Neo 2 Mule Deer Encounter in Backyard

Recently, I took my DJI Neo 2 drone out for a casual flight around our acreage. With open fields and farmland surrounding us, it’s always a peaceful backdrop. While gliding over the familiar landscape, something special unfolded.

I spotted three mule deer, one mother with her two adolescent offspring. They weren’t tiny fawns but not fully grown adults, let’s call them teenagers. What struck me was their curiosity. As I maneuvered the drone slowly and calmly, they stood their ground—alert but not alarmed. They let me approach relatively closely, observing the drone with a mix of caution and wonder. It was a rare moment of harmony between technology and wildlife.

After a short while, I gave them their peace, flying the drone off and leaving them to their day. It’s always a privilege to interact with nature so closely, even with something seemingly so out of place like the DJI Neo 2.

Wifey Tries FPV with DJI NEO in Fort Langley

The Wifey and I went for a nice walk down in Fort Langley, it was a really nice day and I brought some of my FPV Drones with me to out up in the air and fly. I brought my DJI Avata 2 which is a beast of a drone, it's fast, fairly agile and the camera is amazing in it as you'll see from the video. I took the DJI Avata 2 for the first flight of the day and then kind of forced the Wifey to give FPV a try using my DJI Neo with the Motion Controller which allows anyone to fly a DJI FPV Drone in minutes.

She did pretty good and now has a good basic idea on how it all works. It can be a bit intimidating at first especially when you don't know the location so well. After her flight we walked back to the main village area and I put my tiny BetaFPV Meteor65 Pro with DJI 04 Light for a quick cruise to see what was going on. That was a short flight as smaller drones use really small batteries and have a lot shorter flight times. My camera mount on the Meteor65 Pro was missing a rubber bushing so I did get a lot more vibration than usual in the video but it still looks pretty good.

DJI NEO Flight Fort Langley December 1st 2024

I love bringing my little DJI Neo along with me when I am out and about going for a dog walk or some sort of other adventure. I can throw it along with my DJI Goggles and FPV RC Controller in a really small backpack and don't even notice it. I may or may not use it but I have the option to...

So today I took it for a quick flight during our Dog Walk as it was a really nice day and I had not flown in a bit. Fort Langley has it all, a beautiful river, mountain views and great walking trails! Enjoy the view from up above, it's even better :)

SLY-08 Electric Mountainboard Added to My PEV Collection

If you know anything about me by following me along in my videos, then you know I have a passion for PEV's (Personal Electric Vehicles). I have owned or tried pretty much all of the fun ones :) I currently own an eMountain Bike which my wife uses mainly, I have a pretty decent Electric Scooter we all use for short trips or to take on vacation to get around. My favorite PEV is my KingSong S22 EUC (Electric Unicycle). It is by far the fastest and longest distance ride that I own, and it can go on virtually any terrain with its large off-roads tire and spring suspension setup.

I have also owned a couple of Electric Longboards, I had a BackFire G3 with Cloud Wheels but sold it a while back, I had too many PEV's! I also bought an Uditer Electric Longboard when I was in Oceanside a few weeks ago and was going to bring it back with me but unfortunately it died on me from a battery issue :( I did have it for just enough time to remember how much fun Electric Skateboards are, and so when I saw an SLY-08 Electric Mountainboard come up at a good price on Facebook Marketplace, I had to have it. The SLY-08 Electric Mountainboard is a bit larger than my previous two Electric Skateboards but not by much, It mainly has taller tires and a wider truck setup better suited for off-road riding and trails.

I have only ridden my SLY-08 Electric Mountainboard this one time while I made this video so I don't have a lot to say about it. I mainly wanted to get out and try it and let everyone know I have it and it may be showing up on some future videos. I do plan to make a quick thoughts review for it once I have ridden it a bit more, so stay posted for that video in a couple weeks or so...
