How does the DJI Avata 2 fly in Manual (Acro) Mode? Can you power loop the Avata 2? How is the Avata 2 in a dive? In this video we go through how to set up manual mode on the DJI Avata 2, share our impressions of how it flies with the Remote Controller 3, and try some freestyle tricks with the Avata 2. We were surprised by the results and we think you will be too!

This is by far the BEST video with the AVATA 2 I've seen. I received mine (3 btry combo) Thursday but weather prevents me from trying it out. Rain. Next week will be fantastic 4/22. I've been a follower for years and thank you for all you do for us all.

We appreciate it, Brent. 👊 We're intentionally trying to show (when possible and appropriate) more of the "mistakes," the journey (and humor), rather than only the polished answers and dry information, while also at the same time, editing it all down so as not to waste the viewer's time.

Best review for the avata 2 I've seen so far. Usually just people saying everthing about is the best and pumping their affiliate link. Super informative and fun, love it

@DirtyBird Месяц назад

Unlike previous DJI drones, the MC3 & FPV Controller 3 do NOT directly link to the drone. They link to the Goggles 3 via Bluetooth, which passes through the RC commands to the Avata 2. This is why the MC3 & FPV Controller 3 are so much lighter than the previous versions, why their batteries last much longer, & why there is no external antenna on the FPV Controller 3. Consequentially when linking the FPV Controller 3 you want to link it to the Goggles 3, NOT the Avata 2.

@readysetdrone Месяц назад

Great info. Thank you!🙏

@pianomans1 Месяц назад

I'm enjoying the Avata 2 a lot so far. It's not a freestyle beast, but it wasn't made for that. I believe DJI did a great job with this whole set up. I can't wait for backwards compatibility with the goggles three. I wore my goggles to yesterday for the first time in a week or so. They are not nearly as comfortable as the goggles three. Sorry voice to text lol. One thing I'm having an issue with is when I put it in manual mode and try to take off the drone automatically takes off in normal mode then it switches to manual then I'm getting that crazy prompt where I have to use the sticks to get and stay on the green line to open manual mode. I didn't notice that on your video. If anyone knows how to get rid of that I would love some input. Lastly, is one of the buttons and arm and disarm button? I came in for a landing in manual mode and drop the throttle and landed on my pad and the drone flipped around like a fish out of water for a few seconds. Thanks in advance. Great video guys! Thank you

@speeddemon467 Месяц назад

I’ve had the Avata 2 for a little over a week now and I love it. I bought the FPV controller v3 with it as well because I know I wanted to be able to fly in manual/acro mode, though I haven’t tried it yet. I’ve got about 30 hours on the simulator (mostly LiftOff), but I’m still a bit nervous to try full manual for real with the Avata 2. You experienced guys make it look too easy! 😂 I’ve flown collective pitch helis for about 10 years, so I probably shouldn’t be this intimidated by acro mode on an FPV drone. Hoping to get to a good, big open area soon so I can take the training wheels off and just go for it.

@readysetdrone Месяц назад

Flying in manual is a whole different experience - definitely worth learning. My biggest advice would be to fly in a big open and grassy field. If you get in trouble, just cut the throttle. The Avata 2 can take a bit of bashing, so you should be OK to crash it a few times - especially over grass. Good luck and have fun!

I love my new avata 2 even though I only have the motion controller 3 . I’d ordered the fpv 3 and they stuffed me around and found that they couldn’t get it and just canceled my order. Of course I wasn’t happy with them. I’ve since ordered one through another source that I’ve used before, but of course it’s on back order ugh. I still haven’t worked out how to go into easy acro, but then I just have to find a video on that. You’ve shown that they are a decent acro quad and I’m looking forward to receiving my fpv controller 3 so that I can practice true acro.

@SunriseWaterMedia Месяц назад

You might have to update everything (Goggles 3, Motion 3, and Avata 2) to get the Easy Acro option when you use the goggles joystick to swipe down from the top of the screen. Here's a Ready Set Drone video showing that near the beginning. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-B_gHI1XVgrA.htmlsi=zRSiTSiU5zbMKcZD

@rogerbivins9144 10 дней назад

I got my A2 last week and the remote controller 3 yesterday. I do have some experience building / flying FPV drones and had high hopes for this A2 once paired with the RC3 controller in manual mode. It is a fun flyer with a great camera system, far better than anything in my custom builds that still have analog Vtx's, but, after getting some manual flights in I am a little disappointed by the speed and that it requires a bit over 1/2 throttle just to hover. I havnt turned the rates up completely yet, or looked to see if its possible to adjust the throttle exponential value but I wouldn't think that would change the stick % required to just hover. Also, some of my property has extreme grade slopes which I like to fly fast and close to the ground and I have trouble getting the A2 to drop anywhere nearly as quick as I am accustomed to and so have had several close calls while expecting the drone to drop clear of branches in fast flight. Im sure I can get used to it even if the issues cant be tuned out, I just pray DJI will get the Goggles 3 software caught up so I can buy the DJI air packs to upgrade my other fpv drones. Cheers.

Do you those same rates on your betaflight fpv drones . Curious cause first time i seen some one use different rates on pitch and roll axis

@readysetdrone Месяц назад

Great observation. Agreed that pitch and roll should be the same. I like 550 for pitch and roll, it's quick but not "crazy quick". I also need to turn the expo up a bit on this quad. What you saw in the video was just me experimenting a bit, but I agree completely that pitch and roll should be the same. Thanks for watching and commenting!

hi there! thanks for your video. How do I get the controller 3 back to be able to fly sport and normal mode again? i've released the tension again on F1 and F2, so that the stick is sort of centered again, but I can't even get it to take off by increasing throttle. am i missing something?

@john82312 Месяц назад

Nice video! Just curious, if you're flying in manual during a flip and 180 degrees upside down, and clicking the start/stop button on the controller. What will happen? Will it auto correct itself to hover and N mode? Or it will just crash? Planning on using start/stop button as a panic button but doesn't know whether it works😂

It will crash! 😯 Just flip the mode switch to "normal" or "sport" if you panic.

@kavorka8855 26 дней назад

so the throttle stick must be adjusted with screws before turning on the manual mode? Do other modes work with the stick adjusted?

@readysetdrone 26 дней назад

Loosening the throttle stick isn't mandatory, but if you fly in manual mode, not having to flight against the spring is easier. The other modes work fine with a loosened throttle stick. The only downside to a loosened throttle stick in normal or sport mode is that it won't automatically keep its hovering altitude when you let go of the sticks.
