How to Fly Over Water Safely - DJI AVATA 2 

Thanks! And good luck with your road to that first million. Your videos are already on the level of the top tech reviewers. And you have that right balance of being cool, technical and approachable. Just a normal guy 🙂 A well-deserved sub from me.

another great video - thank you -

Am glad it didn't fall off from the sky on water. Heard lots of those on A1.

very informative video can you make one about flying indoors? I still don't know the best setting for indoor tours using DJI AVATA 2

it's a bit irrational to worry about loss over water compared to some cliff side or high trees, but I've felt it before for sure. Even flying my Avata 2 over my small pool is a bit nerve wracking. Great tips in this one! Also, if flying from a boat, keep updating your home point or it will return to where you were and hour ago.

Pretty good advice. I always attach floats to my quads over water because there is always a chance that they'll still drop out of the sky with no warning.

Great advice and tips Justin, many thanks for sharing the info and having fun

Great video, very informative! Just wondering , when you fly drone in Bali (Sanur, Campuhan Ridgewalk, etc) do you need to pay fee for permission to the local authority in the place. I am an Indonesian, and sometimes they ask for unofficial retribution fee to fly drone in tourism places?

Thank you for another cool video! Just on a side note: flying over water is one thing... but land drone on the boat :)))) Even if boat is anchored, it is always moving because of wind and currents, but drone has stable GPS position. You will need to learn how manually grab drone and stop it. Especially if it has obstacle avoidance. Especially if you are on sailing boat with mast, sails and a lot of lines and almost no flat space to land safely.

I'm just getting into drone stuff.. I want 2, lol the mini 4 pro & avata, I like cinematic shots but also want the diving n fastness of a fpv.. and also combine those shots, but my biggest problem is, I have zero need for this stuff lol.. so do I burn 5g on stuff I have no use for? Lol.. (it's alot of stuff, vloging & streaming equipment for drone flying n stuff)

Do you have ND filters for the Avta 2? If you don’t, do you need them with this drone for quality shots shooting at 4k 60FPS, 100ISO, 120 shutter? Typically shooting at sunrise on this ideal setting with other DJI drones you will definitely need ND filters - any ND filters available for Avta 2?

In short, height sensor doesnt work over water so no safety buffer of 1ft. Aka be safe, keep it high. All preflight tips are basic for flying anywhere really. Thanks foe the first bit of info though, just what i wanted to know.

What do you suggest to avoid that legendary "yaw tumble"? I am using your rates, I was happy with the settings so far. On a random day I was flying, nothing crazy, was descending and turning in a U shape, but nothing "acro-like" and it tumbled :(. Luckily it was only a little touch with the ground on a field full of grass.

Highly recommend to fly at least 50h is simulator to feel confident to fly above the water 😊😊

Good video and tips Justin

Very good advice. Thanks.

bravo. that's beautiful uploading,;))

hello justin are you still stay in bali. im local people in bali, and i firt time ply dji avata 2 can you sharing to me ? thanks

My friend can you Tell me how Update the rc 3 Controller am having some Problem i have the fly combo and i just bought rc 3 Controller it will be nice to Show me how to Update it thx bro❤

Great video thanks.

Bali ❤ what a place 🇩🇰

Second that. Flying over the water does give you a little tricky feeling on how close you are to the surface. Wildlife eg birds a quite an expected obstacles at a time too

Approximately how many degrees of tilt have you set your gimbal to?

What sort of height would you recommend as a minimum over water to be safe but still create cinematic footage?

Good advice 😃👍🐾🐈‍⬛🍻

Thank you 🙏

Coming next year to Bali… As a drone fanatic, let’s hook up bro! 😀😀😀 Make some cool stuff and maybe show me around. 😋

Good instructions, better safe then sorry. The max RTH altitude is a big one, and worth mentioning if the drown starts descending on way home due to low battery one might manage to rescue the drone by walking or even swimming towards it, happened to me and I've seen other good examples, rather than just waiting and hoping at the beach front. lol This video is a good example ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-72OhmRGrLLE.html "EPIC Drone save over water. Close save" Btw. probably would be good to have clarity on DJI's care refresh cover/limitations in context of flying over water/ocean, fly aways & issues vs operator fault. =)
