What precautions should I take when using gesture control with DJI Neo 2?
Follow these conditions and precautions when using gesture control with DJI Neo 2:
- Ensure the surrounding environment is safe when using this feature, and avoid moving people, animals, or vehicles.
- Do not use gesture control in areas with small or thin objects (e.g., branches or power lines), transparent objects (e.g., glass or water), or solid‑colored surfaces (e.g., white walls).
- Use this feature only in environments with suitable lighting. Gesture control will not function when ambient light is below 5 lux or above 100,000 lux.
- Gesture control is supported only in Spotlight or Follow mode, and is not supported when using the remote controller or motion controller.
- Keep the drone approximately 2 to 5 m from the operator when using this feature.
- Keep your fingers fully extended when using this feature.
- Gesture control won’t work with thick gloves or mittens, and the subject should be completely visible in the camera frame without any obstructions.
- When using Return to Palm, maintain a horizontal distance of 2 to 5 m between the drone and your palm, and a vertical distance of no more than 2 m.
- If the function does not respond at close range, adjust the drone’s position via gesture control or move yourself to avoid visual blind spots before trying again.
- To make the drone fly back by raising one arm, keep it within 10 m horizontally from your arm, ensure your arm is fully extended when raised, and do not raise both arms simultaneously, as this will prevent the drone from flying back.
