DJI AVATA Range Test - HOW FAR Will it GO?! (Motion Controller & Goggles 2 - Pro-View Combo) 

It was upside down when you found it because it fell out of the tree you landed in. 😂😂😂😂

So many bigger drone reviewers on this platform, but I strongly prefer your content for its rawness. No crazy edits and no salesman-like voiceover. You're super chill. Subscribed.

Dude was way too relaxed when the battery went down to 0%

So awesome. Here I am nail bitting and hearing your calming voice and level headed approach is so inspiring on where I need to be in my own personal crisisis. Great vid

Thanks for pushing it to the limit in a real world test, barely any reviewers have done this. You are the second. I just saw a vid of some indonesian guy make it 5 km out and back but he was flying towards a mountain and over there a lot less radio noise. He said get guards are bad for long range because the wind hit it so much.

Still waiting for the range test on the mini 3 pro…

Thank you for the video. I had been wondering just how far the Avata could go. You really pushed the limit. Much appreciated.

I always enjoy ur videos Dustin! This one couldn't be different!

I love watching your tests... but they REALLY stress me out. Every single time! Great video, again!

i love your range tests dustin keeps me on the edge of my seat .

Your range tests are the best !

So glad to have you back…. You’re videos are top notch

Another great Dustin range test!,2 miles and perfect video feed,this makes me excited for when/if the 03 air unit is made available

You are insane!! I can’t believe you’d go out that far to 50% without giving yourself some headroom to return. Also can’t believe that you didn’t just land before it got to 0%. It really is good to see what happens when it does get to 0% so glad that you dived in first.

Great video 👍🏻 Answered a couple of questions I was pondering.

Totally stressing wit u there ser! Was so good to see u find it in 1 piece!

Had a good time watching this Dustin!

Been a minute glad your back

Love your range tests 🤙👍

I love how your home position is displayed on the screen! That is a awesome feature!

That was a fun video! I just got into fpv this year and I caught the fpv bug bad! Your videos are a lot of fun to watch! They keep me interested! Take care! happy holidays

Man you got some guts… I would have been freaking out!!! (Novice) my heart was pounding, just watching that. And you remained so calm. 😮 sheesh!

I am in the process of choosing a nice drone and Avata is a good candidate Thanks for this man, Subscribed to your channel

Love these range tests ❤

another awesome range test Dustin 👍

Good thing you recover the avata. Enjoyed watching always the range test. Best regards from Cebu,Philippines

Oh wow i didn't expect that far,,great test as always 👌👌

Awesome range test!!🤙🏾

Awesome test and great validation of the capability of the Avata.

Dave, Australia here. Great video. I was told by a few people here that select auto lands is better when battery is low as the computer. Calculates a lot better than flying it normally back

Hey Dustin this was awesome test 👏 🍻😉

That was cool. Balls of steel mate.

That was exciting, wondering if you were going to make it back or not! You've got the perfect location there off your 2nd-floor deck for range tests. Such an incredibly long line-of-sight. Looking forward to a test using Sport mode!

This was a really comfy video. Glad you found your drone.

Dude. Your range tests are riveting.

Thank you for the tips on rebooting the setup to locate the quad! In PANIC! mindset it's hard to think clearly for sure! Drone Life brother... love it:)

Well done on finding it!

Good range test Dustin, when ever I fly for distance, I always turn back at between 60 and 55% just in case of wind or loss of power.

Awesome video. Love your range tests. Hope to see more in the future. Did you move away from Maui?

Really thinking strongly about getting myself one of these. Hope you're enjoying your new mainland life bro! I'm stoked I got to meet you before you left Hawaii 😎🤙🏼. And thanks again for hooking me up with the RC goodies

Thanks for testing it Dustin 👍

Top quality content. Thanks Dustin.

Wow wonderful range test!!! I really loved this one and neat to see how to find your drone if it becomes lost. Sooo New Mexico?

It's crazy bro.. you are so calm! How do you keep yourself sane and calm when your battery runs out? Well done!

This is what I’ve been waiting for.

That's awesome. Great test. I'd love to see you take it straight out to see how far it will truly go. instead of worrying about flying home, have a several destinations picked out that you know you can land if need to. Sometimes like a spot at 3.5, 4 and 4.5 miles and try to push it to the 4.5mile spot.

I'm convinced, definitely buying this

Great and very informative video! Glad it had a happy ending! 😃

Flying my drone I use my cave daving practice 1/3 in 1/3 out 1/3 reserve Glad you found it and nice area to fly

Finally. I’ve waiting solong!🎉🎉

Btw, I’m from the same island :). I’ve Always supported local families, even when they move to the mainland. Unfortunately I lost all of my drones, and some items that you’ve reviewed back in 2021. Our house was the one that had an electrical fire in the rain, 1hour into the new year. Unfortunately I’ve haven’t been able to afford another drone, and build a custom drone to help with SAR. My custom drone could mount LiDAR and IR/FLIR attachments. Since I’m a 100% disabled Veteran, I used to be a dog handler with Maui dog tags and helped with assisting in with the two missing women Moira/Scott. But a year later I moved to Vegas to become a weapons instructor at NAFB. I got to train teams on VIP/HVT extraction and protection escorting, but my injuries from deployments finally got the VA to rate me from a 0% and 7 years of fighting for my issues being all service related. 03-13 I served in the army and straight to OIF outta high school and OEF up until 2012. 7 deployments and the VA denied everything that I claimed when I got out. Thanks to many of the people who played the system and because of stolen valor. That’s what made it really difficult in hawaii to claim for anything service related. Plus the VA in hawaii in general treat you as a someone trying to cheat the system, or a drug addict trying to get pills. Nevada, Texas, and Washington were the only states that helped my claims, and all of the staff actually cared. Unfortunately in hawaii, most of the staff are disgruntled veterans or civilians that just are there to collect their pay, and like to set off new veterans who come in for help, just so they can utilize their power by having the armed guard remove you from the building. Anyways, I hope in the future I’ll be able to pick up an electric bike and a drone. Keep up with the content, you’ve always done great reviews with items that I’ve been interested in, but it’s hard to tell if those content creators are being unbiased during reviews, because of the sponsorship with certain brands. So that’s why I’m glad to have found your channel when you started out! Mahalo & Aloha.🎃

It's not a long range drone like it's big brother, but interesting to see through your eyes (and not mine...lol) how far the transmission would go. Great drone for proximity flying and cinematic shots in close range. Glad you didn't lose it, and you got to test the find my drone fly app which works really well as expected. Thumbs up ! ;-)

Awesome video man 👍👍👍

Great video - brave man... going out that far. 😵‍💫

Omg man you got way bigger balls than I do!! I was stressing and I’m only watching lol!! Awesome video

thanks bro for the video. good job

It will be interesting to see if Dji make a battery for these that has a higher amp hour rating in the future, I know that this has been done successfully with power tool batteries whilst keeping the actual battery case size the same. This drone is currently number 1 at the top of my list, the shrouded prop blades being of importance with my intended use surveying land. Thanks for a great review and hi from Australia.

i flew 5km and back(10km total) with my mini2 really did not expect to reach that far but did :) Nice fun flight

super video, nice description and interesting

Just started watching. "Hopefully not too much of a nail biter" - you said it Dustin! I have no nails left and half of my right arm is gone from your range tests! 🤪 😜

It’s worth the money highly recommended. Superfun

Always good to see a DD range test. It’s what I liked about your channel when I first subscribed years ago. Very impressive ✌️

Another awesome test... happy to see you included the search and rescue part! Fun to watch...tip toes lol. Wondering if you think this drone could be put on a diet to under the 250grams? Is the frame around the props necessary? That alone probably doesn't weight much, but maybe with a really good tear down...do you is it possible? Just a thought to avoid licensing stuff. Thanks again for all your vids. (I bought a mini2 and Parrot Disco to copy your long range videos!

Last night I ordered the DJI Avata Explorer Combo including a hard case, Fly more kit, RC controller and hard case. Just under $2k. Supposed to arrive tomorrow before 10PM. I've had the Mini 3 Pro and was really impressed with it's cinematic features. But it was time to start getting into FPV. The Avata seems to be both a cinematic and FPV so I think it's a great transition into FPV before I go full balls to the wall FPV!

thanks man , regards from Ireland

That owl at the start is nice 😮

Brilliant stuff - your drone reviews and test-flights are by far, FAR, the best out there. Keep up the great work!

Im getting mine today im excited!

Thanx Dustin on my opinion I rather say its not that a wind resistant but it keeps up on its tracking on its way and the gimbal doing its work there manh, at least it tried its best, keep it up sir.

This video sold me on the drone. I was curious how hard it would be to find if I had to land it somewhere in a pinch and that is exactly what I was hoping for. Very cool!

I got stressed a bit. Good kind of stress I guess ‘cause this one got a happy ending. Glad DJI Avata made it. I guess my choice got validated. I love this drone!

Great test The battery is the biggest restriction on this drone but I love flying mine.when you flew past 50 percent I thought there was trouble ahead Great Video bud 👍 and great Recovery

thank you. now I know exactly that I want not the avata but fpv.

Excellent test review 👏 👌 👍

So that controller works kinda like a joystick on airplane video games? That's SO COOL!!!

I’m digging the new goggles. To each their own but I’m actually very impressed with the DJI Avata.

Great video of the avata

Thanks for the review. I think I may purchase it.

Very nice with the rescue bonus.

When you went ahead and "locked the doors" with a key fob had me actually cackling

Thanks for the test! You might try putting a tiny yaw string in front of the camera like sailplanes do to see how much side wind there is.

I wonder if you do a lot of sports because I don't know how your heart can support all those scary moments.

Hi, Very grateful for you. Thank you

this range is crazy omg.

Hey Dustin, sweet vid, however... Waiting patiently for mini 3 pro Range test! Thanks man 313

Hey Dustin , still making Triller Movies ? I didn't think the Avata , would have gone this far at all , Amazing ! Nice Brother , take care .

A few days ago I ordered the avata cant wait to get it

Hey Dustin great video. I seen a range test on the Avata 2 in Manual mode, & he got 2.6 miles & returned on 6% battery life remaining. I've bought 6 DJI drones in the past, after watching your reviews, & now my seventh, the Avata 2 Fly More Combo. Your videos have given me the confidence to go long range, with my DJI drones. I took my AIR 3 out 5 miles last week & returned with 30% battery life. I don't know what you think about Autel but I just got the Autel Evo Lite + Premium Bundle for $839 shipped, 13 days ago. But I haven't opened it yet. Autel has an awesome sale going on, the Evo Lite + right now for the standard bundle $689 & $899 for the Premium Bundle.

You were at a pretty high altitude with wind so that nailed the range.

Hi Dustin! If you had to choose between the dji fpv or avata what would come out on top?

Oops, you did it again Dustin lol, nice demo bro enjoyed your video yet again.

Lol you do take your drones to the limit great video my friend 😁👌👍🇬🇧

Thanks! That was fun to watch! Maybe we'll have the next drone fitted with a solar panel so you never have to land, Lol!

🤣"I wonder if something tried to attack it" Just a pine tree. Good test, as always.

3.5km for a little cinewhoop is crazy good!

Nice range test.

Really enjoyed the video. Impressed with the find your drone procedure. Makes finding it a lot simpler. What are your thoughts on DJI’s two FPV drones ie advantages and disadvantages, which do you prefer etc.

I can spot the east mountains immediately. Haha 🙂🙂 love it man!

that was funny. fun to watch bud

Really impressed on how far it went out. The technology in the DJI drones is absolutely amazing. Excellent range test Dustin!! 😊
