Just got my Avata 2. Two days in Beginner Mode…. 3 days in Normal… switching to Sport mode today. I have the other controller…. Will try that eventually! Great video
When learning manual on this, with the stick controller, keep a finger on the switch that puts up back into sport or normal mode. That way, should you loose it, hit the switch and recover.
To be fair, it DOESN'T "come with everything you need. If you want to fly full on manual, you will want the FPV Controller 3. Experienced drone pilots obviously don't buy this, but anyone demonstrating it uses the 2 stick controller. It's an extra $200, but I just went ahead an got it since the motion controller is more gimmicky - It's fun, and easy. but only gets you so far. I want to not depend on it, but just consider it a fun secondary control.
man I've been dying to get an avata - Iove your perspective from someone who flies GPS drones and how quickly you picked up the Avata. I'm struggling in the simulator right now. I really wanted to learn on the regular controller, but I'm thinking the motion controller might be the best way to learn FPV for me. Great video!
The motion controller was shockingly easy! I was sort of bummed that I didn't get the controller, but then I started flying and realized why. This thing is the beginner's cheat guide. Again though, to get fully into it and improve, I'll need to get a controller at some point!
Your excitement seems genuine and in no time, I'm sold. 😉 I've owned several drones and one being a DJI that I returned to Target because it didn't deliver the fun I'd hoped for. The Avata I've watched for a while and now that the V2 is released, I'm gonna have to pull the trigger (so to speak) and get right back into the hobby. Thanks for your review and enjoyed every moment. /🍻
I learned real quick when buying my new unit. If you're willing to pay $1,000 dollars for this drone package, you should be willing to pay the extra $200 dollars. You get the 2 extra batteries and the external charge and this case as a bonus. It's totally worth the extra $200 bucks. I don't know anyone that wants just 1 freaking battery for their drone.
Hello David, I'm a new subscriber. I've had my DJI Mavic2 Zoom for several years and was considering going FPV but was concerned the goggles would get me nauseas. Did the goggles seem comfortable to view and is this the goggle model that allows you to view your surroundings?
David been watching your entertaining videos for a long time now. We both laughed when you were about to fly the Avata 2 for the first time and had the quick start guide but said you’d check it as you got started. So typical of men - they just can’t wait to get started whereas women usually study the guide before! Carry on with the great videos, we love them. Selina & Tim, UK (subs)
I can't wait to fly it. Order one 2 days ago, got bungle package with controller 3. with 2 yrs coverage. It like fly fighter jet, with jet controller stick. My old one is Mavic pro never crashed. Find bubby that has one and race that be cool.
Since you have flown both the Avato and the Mini 4…which would you recommend? I know it’s probably comparing apples to oranges but I’ve been thinking of both…just have to sell my Mini 3 first.
Two different drones with different purposes. The Mini 4 Pro is an amazing CAMERA drone. It’s primary purpose to take cinematic video of the environment it is flying it… but it to record your environment / travels etc. The Avata 2 is a drone that is all about the experience of flying… the Googles and dynamics of an FPV put you “in” the drone and you get the enjoyment of feeling like you are flying… the video is bonus.
@@canyonblue737-8 thanks for that. I actually have the goggles with my mini 3. I haven’t used it yet because I’m not used to the motion controller yet but I will be practicing sometime soon.
For me, the Mini 4 Pro is the drone that I'll still get the most use out of for filming. Maybe once I'm a whole lot smoother with the Avata 2, I could use it for footage. Right now though it's mostly just for fun!
Were you able to use this in heavy winds? I live on the east coast and wondering if this will hold up to strong ocean winds when flying around the beaches. I have a DJI platinum pro and it’s super stable when windy.
What is the point of acro features? I fly planes, and the rolls, immelmans and split s maneuvers are known... With drones, I just don't see the benefit
Great Video !! I really appreciate your comment about 60 to 70 % of FVP results with the motion control and getting the 30% remaining will take much longer time with the controller. I guess it will take about 10 hours in simulator + 10 hours in real FPV with controller. That´s a no brainer for a beginner and I did not hear anywhere else in youtube. Only proble you do not remember you mentionned is that is not cheap. The combo you tested is $ 1,200. A lot for a beginner...
Totally agree that $1,200 is a lot for a beginner, but you definitely get what you pay for with this system. I've tried a couple other beginner style FPV drones and crashed and burned pretty quickly!
I think if you enable head tracking it sort of can, but for the most part it seems to follow the angle of the drone's speed. Because it's your eyes while flying, you for sure want it to be looking where you're headed
Hi, thanks for some great videos, I'm considering buying my first drone but I'm not sure which one to buy, it stands between DJI Avata 2 or DJI mini 4 pro. which one do you recommend?
If I were you, I would go Mini 4 Pro. That drone goes everywhere with me and is always in my bag. The Avata 2 is a really fun drone to fly and I do love the footage, but for videos/photos the Mini 4 Pro is my go to!
Seems like a great unit. Little pricey. Are there alternatives like this one cheaper?? I understand you can wear these goggles if you have a prescription. Thx
Great video David! I didn’t know I needed this drone until I watched your video. First the Pocket3, now the Avata 2 - Subscribing to your channel is becoming expensive.
Really enjoyed this video 👌 I feel like for myself in conclusion, this is the perfect encouraging real life easy to fly FPV that you could use while at the same time practicing with a controller in a sim for a good few months before being unleashed on a full manual FPV drone!
I'm definitely getting the Ava ta 2 One more question min 8:01 what type sunglasses are those I want to get me some of those can you send me the link to where can I buy them thanks bro
Wait so the rc controller doesnt come with it? Ive seen videos of people flying it with an rc control. Im glad i saw someone using the motion control though
All modes. Remote controller can't be used together with the head tracking feature though. Maybe after a firmware upgrade from DJI? Head tracking wasn't mentioned in this video by the way.
Dude. a) You did pretty well. b) When people told you "find an open area" -pretty sure they did NOT mean a small park with ROCKS, TREES, a CREEK, MORE ROCKS, WATER, TREES, and MORE ROCKS. Fortunately this was not your first, very first FIRST flight, or I am pretty sure we would have gotten some nice submerged, UNDERWATER shots from the Avata 2. OH.. so I paused to type the preceding. Now, I un-pause, and you're at the ocean? Where, next, Mid town Manhattan? Hey, more power to yah, but if you didn't get care refresh, well. That would be on you. 🤣😅😂
