Still have all my old drones, ok i did collect a few more just for the hell of it, and yes they all work fine I also have the Mavic pro 1, the Mini 4 Pro and a Tello☺️;):p:p
This is something Litchi app has offered since its inception on the phantom 2, ive asked DJI loads of times on the forums for the auto record feature but it never got implemented, yet as you say the Neo and Avata has the function.
