DJI Avata 2 Review - The Mistake NO ONE is talking about... 

If I had known about this issue beforehand, I would have spent my money on another drone 😅. So to answer your question: yes, I still think it’s a good idea to speak up about these problems that no one else is talking about. If we don’t, nothing is ever going to change 🙂. When I bought the drone, it was promoted based on its capabilities in an FCC location, even though we are in a CE country. (of course, without mentioning there is a difference)

@@ScandinavianNomadCouple i get it, i just found a video where two people where charged in the UK for doing the modification along with other charges after the forensics of the drone. That's why I asked, not because of the usefulness of speaking about it but as to disclosing the fact that you may be doing something illegal. I see a lot of youtubers exposing themselves talking about how they have done it, which is evidence in the case they get caught. Thanks

@@Fitandover40 thanks for the advice ☺️

The advertised range is made in FCC mode and is not durable under any conditions you flying in CE mode as you do by default if you are in a CE country unless… You HACK the drone which makes the drone illegal in some countries if not all of them (can only speak for my own) ✌️ Therefore I believe they should put way more focus on it before you purchase the drone so you can decide if you want to fly an illegally drone or not when you are in a CE country If you want to I can share the list of which countries that are using each mode? 😌

Spot on as usual bardwell 👌

@JoshuaBardwell can you make a video comparing the avata 2 to a similar fpv cinewhoop setup to weigh pros and cons of both?

@@ScandinavianNomadCoupleI only fly in FCC regardless, Its better because IT’S SAFER! The European laws are ridiculous making you wonder if you can actually fly FPV anymore since you need a qualified spotter. Not only with FPV drones, I mean any other drone keeping it in line of sight makes the telemetry irrelevant since you don’t look at the screen, you need to see the drone at all times. Look away for 1 second, its enough for it to dissapear while if you look at the screen you know where it is. Makes me wonder how long this hobby will survive with the everchanging laws. I never blame other pilots for this laws because I look at the statistics regarding drone incidents and are really low. I try to ignore when possible, use common sense and stay away from Karens. Never had any problems in 5 years of flying but often feel anxious. FCC mode is the way to fly , for safety reasons, last thing we want is to lose signal and hit somebody. Nice video, subscribed

@@cipri198zero agree those rules make no sense. I hope as more people are getting into it they will change the rules, to something that would be acceptable. In many cases then I film videos on mountains and nature spot, I get to 100 meters way to easily 😁

Nice I am exited for you! 😁

@dontpushpush Yes i hear about that how does it work? Have you both get opened for speed and range? ☺️

@@ScandinavianNomadCouple you just need to link the drone with the apps(drone tweaks) via cable. Once apps detect your drone. It should works. Yes. I got much further range and speed.

@@dontpushpush i tried downloading a ham file to the drone, I got the range but I don’t feel any difference in speed, maybe I should try it ☺️

@@ScandinavianNomadCouple have a try. this is my footage. i got the range and speed. but very windy condition. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LTCZt9q1ims.html

You are right! what you are talking about is common knowledge 🙂 I am not talking about interference from what material is around you but the limitations around which country you are flying the drone in (CE or FCC)

No, I have only had this drone for a month-ish - well Here in Indonesia and I guess in every other CE mode country, the drone is limited a lot 🙂

Wow i have been watching that video i don’t know how many times but i haven’t noticed before now, yes i see the shaken, the clip is filmed in 60 fps and put into a 30 fps timeline, normally that is not an issue but i can see it is here ☺️ Reading up upon it now Nice spotted 😄

Hi thanks for the Comment 🙂 Yes it have it's downs... can i ask what phone do you have this issue with?

@@ScandinavianNomadCouple I have the Pixel 7 Pro..

Okay wow I did not expect google to have this issue either dji 😅

The EU limitations are removing the purpose of why I bought FPV This is stopping you from doing mountain surfing etc... If I had known about this beforehand I would have spent my money on a Mavic to elevate my videos to the next level 🙂

@@ScandinavianNomadCouple search for ham file.

Have just bought a new memory card for it, gonna try it here one of the coming days before my next trip with the DJI Avata 😁

@Chris_travellust so rather then blaming dji maybe you should have checked the drone regulations in your country.

@@DESTINYFPV if you had been watching the video you would know i don’t blame DJI, But that i want to put focus on the regulation, so other people can take this in consideration before they do the purchase Like i told you before (4 hours ago on you other comment) don’t comment before you have been watching the video 😀

@@ScandinavianNomadCouple wow great thank you very much

You are more than welcome! 🙂 If you want to know more about how to do the ham file, the video @MadRC made, helped me do it! He describe it all perfect ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tYxNGoEXU3s.html

Congratulations with your new drone ✌️

Well this is the first FPV for me so I can only speak out from that But I still think they should let you know before you buy it if you are in a CE country

Wish you all the best

De Danske regler når de er bedst... 🙃

I will thank you :)

For me building my own FPV drone was too big of a step. as a first-time FPV drone user, the DJI Avata 2 is good because it is a pre-build drone, and that made trying out the FPV world so much easier ☺️ For a beginner, I think it is fine ☺️

@@ScandinavianNomadCouple That is a good point. And you are right. For a begginer, it’s the way to go.

You are right too building our own is definitely the way to go if you want to go pro ☺️

If you look at the other comment you will see both Mad’s Tech, and Bardwell have made videos covering this issue as well. and notice it was an issue at the DJI Avata #1 as well

Did reply to your other comment ✌️

As a first-time FPV user, this is something I’ve found out after buying the drone, and this is where I think it’s wrong. You should know this beforehand! Like: 😂 I have a DJI Mavic, an old one… I bought it second-hand I thought the issue was that it was an old drone, and after I only used it to film myself, the drone got the job done by fine! But I have no doubt, that the shoot could have been 10x times better if the range was optimal

Thx for the info... something to seriously think about... still i think i will purchase it

@Chris_travellust just like buying any other product you got to do your homework so that you can make an informed decision that's your job not dji's. Pretty sure most people had no idea about fcc and ce mode untill after owning it for awhile but the ce mode isn't exclusive to dji the power regulation is decided by the country you live in.

@@DESTINYFPV yes… if you have been watching the video you would know i say that in it…

What do you mean?
