Three Questions about UAV Philosophy

How high can you fly?

When connecting mobile phones or flying alone, the height is limited to 30 meters and the distance is limited to 50 meters (PS: when disconnected from mobile phones, it will hover and will not automatically land)

When the remote control is connected, if there is no obstruction or interference, the maximum distance is 120 meters, and the maximum distance is 3.5 kilometers. If the aircraft is released and not recycled, the limit should be able to fly to more than 6 kilometers.

(PS: The range of the fuselage is 7km, and the image transmission picture is 6km at the farthest in China. The transmission distance of remote control signal will be a little farther. 10 km in some overseas areas)


How long can it fly?

It takes 18 minutes to remove the upper protective cover, and 17 minutes to install it (it is still safe to wear the cover, do not remove it). Daily 4K video recording is generally about 13 to 15 minutes, depending on the flight speed and different short film modes.


What's the usage?

It's a platform Selfie and follow-up equipment that do not need help The core function is to automatically follow the camera and move the mirror, which is used to replace the selfie stick, tripod, stabilizer and slide (that is, in movies/TV dramas, those pictures that move over a long distance, follow the main character, but are as stable as a chicken head).

The gif frame drawing and compression are too strong, which is roughly indicated ↑

Even if it's just a trip to the park, the image of the drone is atmospheric ↑, really not for the purpose of creating a circle of friends.

There is no need to learn UAV control and mirror operation. You can not take it with you, or even buy a remote control, palm lift/land, or pick up the ground environment (you can take off on gravel roads and beaches).

Ben Yanzu used it when he walked his dog or his girlfriend. It is also useful for hiking, camping, cycling, mountain climbing, etc.

It is easy to take a small plane out of the door. It takes off and lands quickly and does not take up travel time. It is troublesome to take the selfie stick/tripod, let alone the slide rail, and you may not be able to find someone to help you shoot.


Why not buy a larger UAV?

When I hit it, I didn't draw it 1299. I just thought it was troublesome to take the remote control, and I didn't have time to practice "washing the pan" and operating the mirror. Don't misunderstand me.


Serious question

How about the picture quality?

Take out your flagship video phone and use Ultra wide angle sub camera , open the mode recording of super anti shake/horizontal correction. Neo's picture quality and vision are similar to that. It's not enough to take pictures of scenery. It's OK to take pictures of people nearby.


Is it safe? Does it hurt when you hit someone?

It is safer than 99.9% UAVs . It weighs only 135g, and it has full protection of oars. Unless your fingertips are purposely connected to the gaps of the protective cover, or your hair is purposely placed on it, it will be OK.

The speed of its automatic shooting is very leisurely. It doesn't hurt to be hit by it, but it hits the face, I have to go to repair my makeup first , just ask yourself why you can catch such a loud plane with your face when it comes slowly.

After hitting something, it stopped propeller very actively . The resistance is slightly higher. Even if it is just a leaf, it will stop and fall off directly. When hitting the wall, the plane fell to the ground with a puff, and the sound and action were inexplicably happy.


Can you bear to make?

Only 135g, the outer ring of the protective cover is still elastic. Most of the falls were lightly bounced on the ground. Our machine has been on the street for 7 or 8 times at an indoor height of 1.5 to 1.8 meters, and the fuselage can't see any bump marks. Do you believe it? The colleague's station, in the mountains, can work normally even if it falls down at a height of more than ten meters.

When you are outdoors, you can sit and relax on the lawn. There may be obvious scratches on asphalt and gravel pavement. If you get stuck in a twig, you may need to change the blade. If you fall into the sand, you should pray for yourself and hope that the motor and PTZ do not enter the sand.


Did you avoid obstacles?

What do you think? This is the entry machine of 1299. Only downward looking obstacle avoidance, which is an infrared+monocular vision scheme.


I heard that you can't insert a memory card. Is the built-in space of 22GB enough? How long can you record the video?

No card, 22GB is enough. 22GB can record 40 minutes of 4K video, 1080P can record 55 minutes, The recording duration is just close to the endurance of three batteries

If you wear a power pack or charge the aircraft in the car, you need to export the material before the second cycle.

It is 25MB/s when using WiFi for fast transmission, and it is about 40MB/s when using the USB 2.0 interface on the bottom of the computer. The former takes at least 15 minutes to export 22GB, while the latter takes at least 9 minutes, which is very slow.

Reasonably, WiFi 6, USB 3.0 interface and card insertion can break the embarrassment by choosing one of the three improvement schemes.

(PS: The fuselage should be 32GB flash memory particles, and the actual usable space is 29.8GB. 22GB is the space after deducting the system occupation)


Is 18 minutes enough?

OK. It can't compete with the Mini/Air series for more than 30 minutes, but friends of the same type even have only 11 minutes.

Dajiang Neo is a low altitude proximity camera, which can save a lot of endurance time without flying far away.


Can it be used as a crossing machine?

Yes, but only users of Dajiang Avata 2 (who can share the original remote control) or those with rich family background are recommended to play like this.

Dajiang Neo does have FPV mode, but it can only be triggered with a 3499 yuan DJI flying glasses, a 599 yuan through rocker 3, or a 999 yuan FPV remote control 3. Not that Neo can't afford it, but that traditional traversing machines are more cost-effective.

The remote control RC-N3 without screen in Changfei suit does not even provide the PTZ FPV mode like the Mini series (that is, the screen will tilt randomly).

Dajiang Neo has a casual 1-year version of DJI Care worth 149 yuan, and two low price replacements worth 129 yuan (if it is heavily bombed twice a year, the cost of a single replacement is more than 200 yuan). In fact, it is OK.


Do you want real name authentication? Do you want a certificate? Is the restricted flight area the same as those aerial UAVs of the Mini series?

The new regulation in 2024 requires that small aircraft also need real name certification, but does not need textual research.

Even if you fly without remote control or with mobile phones, you cannot take off within the restricted flight area. Everyone should abide by the relevant regulations, safety first.


Will it be easy to eat ash?

It shouldn't be easy, right?

Before Neo came out, for normal users, the priority of imaging equipment was: mobile phone>aerial camera UAV (irreplaceable high-altitude perspective) ≈ sports camera mounted on the body/backpack (recording at any time, good picture quality) ≈ camera (excellent picture quality, but inconvenient)>wearing camera ≈ panoramic camera (it is more suitable for parties and other multi person scenes).

and Neo's priority should be a little higher than that of traditional aerial UAVs After all, it can not be equipped with remote control, and the flat body is more convenient in the bag. It can always stay in the bag and run around with you, and it is faster and easier to shoot.

Its physical competition products are selfie poles and slideways. In the future, in scenic spots crowded with people but not limited to flight, you may see many friends who use Neo to take selfies.


Because Neo has a small body and its own armor, it is not afraid of exploding. Take off in the room with it, and fly slowly in the room. Let this dish chicken also I have the illusion of "I'm too strong now" and can't wait to go through the woods This is something that the Mini, Air and Avata series did not dare to do before.

Open flat and steady gear, and slowly simulate the amazing scenes such as flying through the machine, passing through the bottom of the car and the gap between the branches (and then accelerate later+dynamic blur). Now it is stretching out Blow more Things that can happen.

Neo can do a lot of building exploration tasks. In our 500 level Dabie Field, sometimes he wants to look at the ceiling slot and take out Neo to fly directly. With an LED searchlight, you can check the haunted house. There are many ways to play.

 

How to choose?

Do you want to buy a bare machine or a Changfei suit?

For ordinary users, we Bare metal 1299+dual electric 249x2 is the most recommended +Charging butler 199=1996 yuan. But Dajiang doesn't have this package. You can buy a bare machine first, and then go to the seafood market (idle fish) to pick up batteries and charge the butler.

The Changfei suit of 2299 yuan is suitable for users who want to get started . 1299 bare machine+699 remote control+249 battery x2+199 charging steward=2695 yuan, and the package gives a discount of 400 yuan. If you like aerial photography, this RC-N3 remote control can also be used in new UAVs released later. If it doesn't work, it can be sold at a normal price in the seafood market.

1299 yuan bare machine, more recommended for experienced players Yes, it is so counter intuitive. Veteran players know the logic and usage of one click shooting, and can quickly determine which composition is suitable for the current scene, so they can shoot when they take off. At this time, the 17 minute single battery life (with protective cover), plus the continuous power supply of the power bank, is actually enough for one day.



Priority of parts purchase: if the budget is limited, which is the priority, remote control or battery?

Of course, the priority is to buy the battery, then the charging steward, and finally the remote control.

(PS: RC-N3 remote control is 699 yuan, battery is 249 yuan, charging housekeeper is 199 yuan, dual electric package=687 yuan).

The 15W charging of the fuselage takes one hour. If you want to have fun, you can't avoid two more batteries (Dajiang: Airplanes are friends, and they rely on accessories to make a living.).

The charging steward charges three batteries at the same time, which is not far from the time difference of charging a single battery. It can be charged to 90% in 30 minutes. With three batteries, you can maintain the status of charging and playing all the time.


What improvement will you get if you buy a remote control? Do you need to buy 2188 yuan remote control with screen?

Maximum lift is Unlocking flight distance limit Without remote control, the height is limited to 30 meters and the distance is limited to 50 meters. When encountering sunset, you may not even fly to the building in front of you to see the sunset.

The virtual remote control is really only suitable for temporary use, precise operation and collaboration, but also physical remote control.

In addition, if there is no remote control, intelligent follow can only follow people. After remote control, you can frame and select various objects by yourself (as long as there is visual contrast), and stare at cars or buildings.

No need to buy a remote control with a screen. The 1299 yuan aircraft is equipped with 2188 yuan remote control, which is too abstract. If you are so rich, I suggest you buy a remote control without a screen. The remaining 1500 will be donated to our Shenzhen Bay No.1 poverty alleviation project.


How to choose Neo and Mini 4K?

It depends on whether you need serious aerial photography or convenient production tools.

[Neo is essentially an automatic camera tool person], which is a competitor of tripod+selfie rod+stabilizer, focusing on ease of use, zero threshold, durability and portability.

The Mini 4K now has an official website of 1999 yuan (no screen remote control with O2 image transmission). The Mini 4K 1/2.3 camera is not as good as Neo in specifications. However, the mini 4K has a three-axis PTZ, and the picture is not cut, nor is it a super wide-angle lens, so the picture quality is better than Neo's. It has a variety of panoramic photo functions, and Mini can do all the shooting functions that Neo can do, and the effect is better.

In addition, Mini can fly 500 meters high, but Neo can only fly 120 meters high.

However, Mini can't record the voice of mobile phone/DJI Mic 2 synchronously in the video like Neo. It has no voice control, is harmless to humans and animals, and is so durable as Neo. It needs to be unfolded and stored every time it is used, which is not so comfortable.


How to choose Neo and Mini 3?

Same as above.

The Mini 3 of 2388 yuan is the competitive product of the Mini 4K (also the remote control of O2 image transmission). It has a lot of advantages, such as 1/1.3 sensor, vertical shooting function, PTZ head up, and longer endurance. But the price difference is only 389 yuan, of course, it is stronger.





The following is the general evaluation and detailed product information ↓


to configure

Appearance&Weight&Portability

Charging housekeeper ↑




DJI Neo's The feel reminds me of the 4WD. Its single eye shape reminds me of the boss and the yellow man ↓

If we don't have a joint brand, we will be sorry for the designer. Little Red Book is the best seller. We won't charge for this idea, but we want Dajiang and Huaqiangbei to do it faster.

Like eggshell/arch bridge, the outer arc contour makes Dajiang The main body (including blade frame) of DJI Neo is unexpectedly hard . The most vulnerable part of the whole machine is the housing on both sides of the camera.

Fortunately, the center of gravity of Dajiang DJI Neo is obviously back and down, so it is more likely that the solid machine butt will land first when it falls.

 

Dajiang Air 3 Mini 3 Pro、 Dajiang DJI Neo, a family of three, size contrast ↓

Size comparison of DJI Neo, mobile phones and normal books ↑

Dajiang DJI Neo is larger than the folded mini series, but the Neo is much thinner, which will be more convenient to put in the bag. It is more portable. And Neo doesn't have to fold around, it can fly out.

Dajiang DJI Neo actually doesn't need a special storage box to protect it. Just put it in a light colored cloth bag and put it in the bag.

But don't put it in the pocket of dark jeans. It's very easy to dye, and you will be disappointed if you try.

 

New RC-N3 remote control ↑


Upper RC-N1 (mini 3 Pro), lower RC-N3 (Dajiang DJI Neo)


RC-N1 (mini 3 Pro), RC-N3 (Dajiang DJI Neo), RC 2 (Air 3) remote control comparison ↑

The new RC-N3 remote control has different layout/shape except for different button patterns Follow RC-N1 remote control (Mini 2/3 series) is identical, but nearly 70g lighter The main driver of this Mini 3 Pr machine is more acidic.

 

 

Dajiang DJI Neo with protective cover is 135.64g (140g for iPhone 13 mini, 171g for iPhone 15), lighter than sports camera (90.39g for bare machine without battery, 45g for single battery);

454.6g for aircraft+single electricity+remote control Is the weight of the normal plate;

Aircraft+remote control+electricity+charging butler Total weight 610.81g (Charging butler 68.8g, remote control 316.62g).


No kidding, remote control is heavier than "aircraft+3 batteries+charging butler". It is urgent to lose weight by remote control in Dajiang.

 

Picture quality and visual follow

Dajiang DJI Neo is a single axis mechanical pan tilt, 1/2 sensor, F2.8 aperture, equivalent focal length of 14mm, visual angle of 117.6 degrees, and the nearest focusing distance of 0.6m.

The camera specification sounds better than the Mini 4K of the 1/2.3 sensor, but The actual picture quality is not good enough The first generation of Mini has a large gap.

Because Neo has strong anti shake+horizontal correction cutting, it cuts out a large circle of images of the sensor and directly cuts the ultra wide angle into wide angle. The good news is that you don't need to hate your face, but you can also take big head shots.

These physical restrictions make Dajiang DJI Neo a "daylight machine". Up to the bright indoor light scene, its image quality is acceptable. It will be difficult in dim light, but in dim light scenes, it is not difficult for the machine.

(When using remote control, there is 45 degree horizontal correction. When using mobile phone control or machine back button control, there is 30 degree horizontal correction.).

 

4: 3 Photos ↑


Video screenshots of backlight and fairing (no beauty, no post-processing) ↑

The movie hurricane said Neo's picture quality is close to the iPhone X in 2017, but we think it is more Xiaomi6 close to 2017 (1/2.9 inch, 1.25 μ m IMX386), shadow stone GO 3S Ultra wide angle of modern mobile phones

DJI Neo's Full blood image quality. It can only be triggered by cooperating with DJI FPV remote controller 3 or DJI crossing rocker 3 ——It can unlock 3840x2880 4K video with 4:3 frames, and can also use the "stability enhancement closing mode" (with gyroscope data) to bring back a large section of images cut by anti shake.

However, since the owner of Shenzhen Bay No.1 has not yet had time to buy those two remote controls (not because we can't afford them, don't misunderstand), we failed to test them for everyone.

  


The good news is that Dajiang DJI Fly's app has the beauty function, including face slimming, big eyes, chin retraction, skin abrasion, whitening and other conventional cosmetic/face changing projects.



In the small body of DJI Neo, there is the ancestral visual tracking function of Qi Dajiang ↑, which can "lock people" in the screen preview box. As long as the ambient light is higher than 15lux, it can work. The following effect is not far from that of Mini series. It's like a Cyber pet.

 

recess (Flying up obliquely)/ Soaring into the sky (Aerial shot of flying straight up) Low difficulty, no need to say more about the effect.

And focus (aircraft hovering+camera turning with the target) follow (If you walk, it will chase, if you run past, it will not retreat) Directional follow (It will retreat and keep a distance from you. You enter it and enter it, and you retreat it and retreat it) are the three most commonly used modes. The last two are the images that look like someone else's holding a machine and following you.


Neo's mirror operation is very smooth. Although there is only obstacle avoidance below, it is to fly with people. As long as there is a space of 1 meter left and right, you don't dig a hole for Neo. It's not easy to hit things. It even I can follow you around the office, all the way to the stairwell (There is a height difference in the stairs, so the automatic following cannot be stopped).

Neo Basically won't follow the wrong person It is not easy to be cheated by people with similar clothes. The main character can follow again when he enters the mirror after being blocked.

 


After that, the difficulty and release effect will increase step by step“ Orbit, spiral, comet ”:

Orbit (rotate around a fixed point) ↑


Spiral (edge wrapping, rising) ↑


Comet ↑ (elliptical orbit+high and low variation circle)

DJI Neo's Close range mirror operation, not as smooth as Mini series There will be a certain center drift, but in an acceptable range, the impact is small.

In extreme cases, the "comet" mode may cause the camera to get stuck or the character to appear on the camera, which may require more attempts.

However, this is done by a small 135g aircraft, without human intervention It's dark magic when you think about it.


The effect of simple manual operation (with hands) ↑

Target locked, push rod forward, and then left/right translation (random amount of rod)

Ah, yes. When there is no remote control, Neo's intelligent follower can only follow people, and can only circle non-human objects with remote control.


user's experience

Dajiang DJI Neo's flying experience is characterized by "fast".

In addition to the traditional remote control and mobile phone controlled one button up/down. Dajiang DJI Neo can press the button on the back of the aircraft, select the mode according to the voice and indicator light, and directly take off by pointing the camera at the face of oneself or others.

Start up, long press the selection mode, and take off in less than 10 seconds. Automatically return to the original place after shooting. Put your hand right below it, land+stop the oars, and it will take no more than 3 seconds, which means that you have deep skills and names ↓

Dajiang DJI Neo saw If there is a palm right below, it will land, very positive and fast . Pay attention to the flying height in the scenic spot to prevent Neo from being abducted.

 

[Handset and mobile phone remote control]

The main function of App ↑ is to fine tune the mode corresponding to the keys.

Inside Virtual remote control fails to screen horizontally The buttons are very crowded, and it is difficult to control the lever. Moreover, the glass rubbing has no physical feedback, which is purely used for fine tuning the machine position and emergency use.

 

[Hover and attitude]

Under the indoor light, Dajiang DJI Neo's hovering is exaggerated, and the posture adjustment is also very small . The indoor Mavic and mini series are not as stable as them. Could it be the physical advantage of a three blade propeller and a small wheelbase?

Outdoor, because of the difference in wind resistance, DJI Neo's posture cannot be as elegant as his big brother's. Mini series is resistant to level 5 wind (10.7 m/s), Neo is resistant to level 4 wind (8 m/s).

The accuracy of hovering in low texture areas such as water surface and outdoor GPS fixed-point is also lower than that of the original Mini

In dim light or weak light scenes, Neo is difficult to maintain position and height, and is quite floating , keep adjusting the posture manually, and don't try it out for beginners.

If there is no remote control It is not recommended to take off in the dark . In the dark, the main camera can't see clearly, and the downward looking camera can't help you hover.

In addition, Dajiang DJI Neo does not have the arm side marker like his brother, You can't see where the plane is in the dark

 

[Image transmission]

4: 3. Photo mode image transmission preview, 16:9 video mode image transmission preview ↑

O4 image transmission of DJI Neo in Dajiang is that the needle is not punched.

Although it is an entry-level machine starting from 1299 yuan, it is also a picture transmission picture of 1080P 30fps. It also has AR display (indicating user orientation, landing site projection, etc.) like the mini 4 Pro, and the dynamic range of the picture is significantly higher than the O3 picture transmission of the mini 3 Pro.

 

[Recording]

you 're right, Dajiang DJI Neo was able to record in the video.

Cold knowledge: The sound of UAV blades will affect the radio, so most UAVs are recorded silently.

Dajiang DJI Neo will record the sound of the mobile phone or DJI Mic 2 (if any), and will automatically eliminate the blade sound.

The elimination effect is very exaggerated. There is really no aircraft noise , only voice, just like talking on the phone, amazing.

But the price is that there is almost no ambient sound, and only the sound near the mobile phone/DJI Mic 2 can be recorded.

 

Dajiang DJI Neo has voice control, and what's more, There is a wake-up call

The recognition rate is OK, but the noise of the plane is quite loud, and it can only be recognized by using the normal speaking volume. I am afraid it is a bit unnatural.


[Heating] Like the current Mini series, it can dissipate heat after takeoff (the propeller sends the wind into the air inlet on both sides of the rear of the aircraft). The video is easy to indicate overheating when standing still, but at this time, the outside of the fuselage is not hot (not even warm). When WiFi is fast transmitting, it will enter the low power consumption mode, and the heating will be lower.


[Noise] is the part that Ben Yanzu hopes the next generation can improve.

Dajiang DJI Neo after takeoff The sound is loud and sharp , similar to the high-frequency motor sound of advanced remote control vehicles and electric aircraft models.

This is more "conspicuous" than the mini series, or even the Mavic 3/Air (the sound of large UAVs is low frequency, and the wind noise accounts for a large proportion). After other models fly to 120 meters, you may not be able to notice their voices, but you can probably hear Neo's voice and even identify its position.

When we took off at noon, the property management sister came to ask if we had used an electric drill

High EQ: You don't have to worry about the bad guys in the crowd using Neo to steal photos. First, the huge motor sound has its own warning effect. Secondly, the daylight machine has night blindness and is safe inside and outside.



[Endurance&Charging]

It took Neo 18 minutes to remove the upper protective cover, and 17 minutes after it was installed (2 meters/second before flying+1080P 30fps video). The daily 4K video is about 13 to 15 minutes, depending on the flight speed and different short film modes.

When the power reaches 10%, it will be forced to land and not allowed to take off.

WiFi transmission has a special low power consumption mode. The remaining 10% power is enough for WiFi to export video.


The 1435mAh battery (10.5Whr) of DJI Neo is the size of the sports camera.

The body supports 5V 3A fast charging, The actual peak power is 14.29W.

Cut off the charge in one hour and two times, which is slower than the nominal 50 minutes (this is the test after power off after power consumption, which is normally impossible to completely use up)

14.26W in a straight line in the first 22 minutes (the second grid power light is still flashing), and then the second gear is 12.5W to 14W (maintained for 32 minutes).


Dajiang DJI Neo's charging steward is the first product in Dajiang that supports simultaneous charging of three batteries. Charge 1 and 3 blocks at the same time, both of which are nominally charged in 1 hour.

As a result, there was a serious reverse false mark in Dajiang. Room temperature 25 ℃, The peak power of three batteries charged together exceeds 66W , the power is reduced due to heat accumulation.



Charging butler, single battery charging ↑

When the peak power of a single charge exceeds 24.3W, it will be fully charged and disconnected in 39 minutes. It is nearly 70% higher than the power charged in the aircraft fuselage, which is 20 minutes faster ↓. The actual charging time is 90% in 30 minutes.


If you haven't bought a remote control, you can look at the following remote control screenshot to determine whether you need it (the interface is the same as that of the Mini series, mainly due to the lack of advanced functions such as panoramic photography and track photography) ↓




summary

Is Dajiang DJI Neo worth buying?

Needless to say, At the moment of saying 1299 yuan, many people couldn't hold it.

In the category of flying camera/Vlog UAV, Dajiang Neo's price, playability, expandability (remote control, even FPV glasses and remote control), endurance, video recording, and automatic shooting functions are all stronger than those of its friends. That is, the storage capacity is small, but the bare machine is 900 yuan cheaper, which makes it a complete hit.

As an early generation product, Dajiang Neo has ordinary picture quality, weak wind resistance, slow data transmission speed and loud flight noise. It's hard to find out what the disadvantages of the 1299 are.


This kind of fun and cheap machine is worthy "The first UAV for young people" The title of. A lot of buffs, such as portable, durable and easy to use, make people more willing to take it out. Before receiving the goods, my backpack had reserved a special compartment for it.  

The first time you see the pieces in its auto circling/spiral/comet mode, every time you look back and see it flying with you, and every time you reach out and call it for auto landing, you will feel that this 1299 is worth it. This "virtual slideway, cyber pet, automatic camera tool person" can also provide emotional value.

But the last warm reminder:

  1. Encounter the mountain top, seaside, etc High wind scene, don't take off . The small plane is not powerful enough and is easy to go with the wind.

  2. In a non open environment, you must connect your mobile phone or remote control In case of accident, the machine can be saved manually.

  3. In a complex environment, Use directional follow carefully (It will automatically retreat) and comet mode. It is safer to use focus and standard follow mode (it will catch you when you walk, and it will not retreat when you run past it).

  4. Beware of "Young People's First Bombing" Neo often falls and is fine, which is easy to give people excessive confidence, but when the sky gets dark/in the mountains/on the water, it is easy to float up, down, left and right. And its stopping paddle is very sensitive. It can also trigger stopping paddle when touching leaves. It is not easy to hurt people or other objects, but it is easy to fall off the cliff or into the water. I would rather fight on the street than hurt flowers and plants. It really makes me cry to death.

  5. Dajiang Neo can indeed fly without remote control, which is very simple and convenient. However, we should pay more attention to safety, and be careful not to upgrade "control and return home" to "empty handed return home".
