So....where are the Neos?
I am a bit sad this morning

Me too. It's like I've regressed to 10 years old, it's Christmas morning, and there's no bike under the tree.

Doesn’t DjI usually make an announcement- usually cryptic - at least a few days before a new product comes out? I am not surprised that there was no Neo today. A lot of us were hoping for it for sure

Yes, DJI usually releases some teaser videos 24 - 48 hours before the product release. Some YouTubers were saying last night that perhaps today (8/20) would be the release for the teasers...so far nothing.
Well played DJI...well played.

Yep! It's not uncommon to see content like that a week+ out from the actual release.

Prob not a good idea to launch a brand new product over or near a holiday weekend. Thursday is about as late as I would feel comfortable then may as well wait until...into September.

DJI launches are typically early in the week.

I doubt we're going to see the Neo this week... despite what the leaks say.

Already had the credit card out and waiting for the alarm clock to go off.

Bummer

Next Tuesday will be fine.

DJI please allow the YT creators to release their videos over the long holiday Labor Day Weekend since it would be nice to know *everything* about Neo before you pull the trigger on Tuesday morning.

But, not really going to matter much, *will buy* either way.

I've reached out and offered, I have 76K active followers that follow my drone footage and some reels with millions of views on IG (landscape/cityscape niche) and several large clients, including the NBA, but I think they prefer only wilderness type of scenes.

JMHO, but I think some sort of indoor video like the famous Bowling Alley video, a long with the heavy marketing of the other end of usage, Hover X1 stuff, would be a very powerful way to show how it's so much more than the X1.
