Since we now have the ability to fly the Avata 2 with the Goggles Integra and Goggles 2 I wanted to do a range test to see if there is any difference in the range compared to the Goggles 3. The results are QUITE IMPRESSIVE!!
I've been 5km with my dji fpv. it's tricky because the auto RTH is quite inconvenient, specially if you're climbing a mountain and know you'll use less battery on your way down. That made me move away from it and build a real long range drone with an O3 instead. Last week I made a 27km round trip with it, did 2km back and forth on a known spot 5 times and still had battery left. Flew for 40 minutes.
@@igorgoga7985 Speedybee Mario Fold (8") and yes, an Elrs radio. I plan to upload a video on it, but unfortunately I cannot record O3 DVR on my goggles (dji goggles v2 won't record O3 DVR) so it kinda sucks. I'm trying to meet with someone with the goggles 2 so I can record the DVR.
Good to see a test with the Avata 2. I’ve been doing a few range tests with mine. I believe you will cover a much greater distance if you keep it on normal mode at full throttle. Apparently it is the most efficient mode to cover distance. Dji got 6000m doing this.
in the very first test when the rth disengaged, were you holding down the sticker, did you almost crash your drone into the freeway while not paying attention?
You can cancel the RTH by pressing the mode button, and no I didn't almost crash, I was losing altitude on purpose just to see if I could get the battery indicator out of the orange warning.
I got my avata 2 last week. I flew it over the harbor in my town I get not more than a mile across it and my signal craps out. I posted the video under my channel. What channel do you use or do you have it on auto
I just have mine set to auto. I don't normally get signal range like that, that's just a really good spot to fly from, excellent line of sight and very little interference. Most often my signal starts to break up around a mile or so as well.
I’ve been to 5 kilometres with my dji mini2 and hovered over the mountain I went to for a couple of minutes and managed to make it back barely lol. I went in normal not sports mode as sports mode definitely chews up the juice more than normal mode. It tried to auto land at about 1250 metres out and because I wasn’t watching because I had it in auto return mode I wasn’t watching lol. When I looked again and realised that it was auto landing I pushed it further to get back. At about 700 metres the battery was at zero and it started to land again, but I just pushed up on the stick a bit and made it back. It was a scary thought that I would have to look for it in the bush, but luckily I didn’t have to.
In my case I was pretty sure it could make it back, I was a bit nervous at first, but if it wasn't going to make it, there was somewhere I could land and easily retrieve it. But man, you pushed it to the limit, you flew past zero, I didn't even know that was possible lol. Thanks for the comment👍
@@CreateandKaptivate , I think DJI purposely underrates and underestimates the true battery power level so that people don’t push their DJI drones too far, so that they have a great reputation for being reliable.
You're right, initially the avata 2 wasn't compatible with the goggles integra or goggles 2. But they came out with a firmware update that makes them all compatible now. And that includes the motion controller 2 and the fpv controller 2.
If you go into the Transmission settings from the main menu you can switch channel mode to manual which allows you to change the frequency and bandwidth. This does depend on whether you are in an FCC or CE region. I would suggest watching this video: DJI Avata 2 Free FCC Power & Speed Hack - Ham Is Back by Mads Tech. This video talks about the Avata2 but he is a great resource for drone tech and I'm sure he would have videos on the goggles integra.
Very poor tune and cant handle the wind, clearly dji can only make vtx,s as for there drone,s they fly like they need a tune because that was so jumpy! are you props bent?
The avata 2 does struggle in the wind, but if the video seemed jumpy it's because it was a screen recording, which has no stabilizationm, and it was sped up.
Not sure you should be doing this...much less posting it. Flying over houses at that range is a bit of a no no, better outside the city. Please dont ruin it for other pilots and dont become the next phillydronelife. Use common sense
