This has got to be my favorite video you've done here!!

@flyingfilmmaker 12 дней назад

Thanks man! Appreciate that!

@PremierActionVideo 12 дней назад

Dude!!! Great job with the video! I love your timing, delivery, humbleness and your overall personality. I’ve been a 107 pilot for a long time and have flown since all the way back to the Phantom 2. I also wanted to get into flying fpv. I’m getting ready to buy the A2, but have been hesitant. Your video was extremely informative and gave me the confidence to go ahead and pull the trigger. It looks like I’ll be buying it tonight. Liked and sub’d. Best of luck!

phenomenal video! I enjoyed seeing your maiden flight and you've made incredible progress since then! Love your use of b-roll and example shots to flesh this out. You definitely have a film makers mind and it will take you far into the craft.

Flown mine four days in a row, and have had a blast! Today wasn’t as much because of the 10-15 mph winds on the hill where I fly a lot. Discovered more of how tough a time it can have in unstable winds. I’ve watch a ton of wild FPV flying with the Avata 2 and others, but am finding the occasionally speedy acrobatic twists/turns is nice, but am shaping more into a close proximity in-house maneuvers are more what I’m into. Love too not having to have direct sight flying, like even from a closet or room and just flying the camera! Thanks for all you do!

@flyingfilmmaker 10 дней назад

Haha for sure. Practice is the key. And I've gotten a lot better since the two week mark too, so you've just got to keep on practicing. I'm sure you'll enjoy it if you get one!

@ukmonk 6 дней назад

OK, kinda answered my own question lol! took the plunge and tried Man mode! Dude my heart was pounding lol but I've done a few hours in the sim and that def paid off. I tried sport first and getting to that brake button quick just in case then went man without disabling the M attitude and felt ok, then disabled that and tried a few flips etc. I didn't crash so that was good lol and the sim 100% helped a LOT. I actually love the stiffer throttle in normal and sport mode, and the speed I get in man will help in certain projects but for most of my shots I can get with normal and sport mode! I will still practise in manual though but dont really need to do flips etc but its cool as flying in man mode actually seemed to improve me in normal and sport modes! Thanks again!!

@ukmonk 6 дней назад

Nice video thank you! If you don’t disable M Mode attitude limit, will this stop it from flipping please? I don’t need to do flips etc but would like the speed of manual mode, so would that be best for me please? I don’t want to do freestyle or race drones but might need that extra speed manual brings for when I am filming cars/bikes etc

@riskybusiness5 9 дней назад

After switching EIS off and setting FOV to Wide... also, also, also... don't forget to press record again... been there done that before 😆 And I think it took me 4hr in the SIM just to stop instantly crashing with throttle control.

@johnelias1268 3 дня назад

Hey man, new to FPV and have the Avata 2 also...watched your other videos and you do great work and are easy to understand....I understand camera gear extensively as I have been doing photography for years...video is a bit of learning curve but I am catching on quickly....I also crashed numerous times in manual and was getting great footage from the normal and sport modes and I was also flying some extremely tight spaces....this video has inspired me to get back into manual as I also love the different fpv perspective....I will try a simulator and in the video I seen you were able to use your DJI controller? Again great video and keep up the awesome work!

@AerRider 11 дней назад

I put in 100 hours in the sim before trying manual. You’re another who does so much better than I do with exponentially less hours! * kids these days 😂

@flyingfilmmaker 10 дней назад

Haha it might have something to do with probably hundreds of hours flying regular drones, so I already was pretty dialed on the basic stick controller and just had to translate to what they do in manual mode. 😅

@johnelias1268 2 дня назад

I downloaded the sim and flew for a few minutes in manual tonight without a crash....I literally struggle to just get it to move forward or backward....

@crispaullopez8037 3 дня назад

Hi, thanks for the tips! however i have question, if i'm using D-Log M, can i still use rocksteady on ultra wide?

@ZabDevin 8 дней назад

Great video! I learned flying acro the hard way too (e.g., crashing), however it was with FPV drones other than DJI. I found flying high to practice preferable to simulators, because I would get a little motion sickness from the simulators, but not when flying realtime. What is your take on 16:9 vs 4:3 with regard to videos that will be uploaded to RU-vid, as well as how they compare when actually flying? Some people prefer 4:3 over 16:9 for flying. I’m not sure yet.

@flyingfilmmaker 8 дней назад

Thanks! Interesting! Were you practicing with the sim on a screen in the goggles? My take on 4:3 vs 16:9 is that both work great fine for flying, but I always shoot 4:3 so I can crop 16:9 for YT videos and 9:16 vertical for IG etc.

@RonaldBrown59 12 дней назад

I also have the DJI Avata 2, but I have no interest in learning to fly in acro mode. Great video, showing all things one has to learn to able to fly well in acro mode. Thanks for sharing.

@flyingfilmmaker 10 дней назад

Thanks! That's interesting. My main reason for getting one was manual mode.😅

dude, you have the weapon already, you need to try it. Give yourself 30h in a sim. I tell you, you will never want to fly in limited modes again…

@dylansmeets5379 13 дней назад

Hey nice recap of your experience. I have a question what's the differences between M Mode Attitude Limit on and off?

@flyingfilmmaker 12 дней назад

Ah, good question, I should have mentioned that. Attitude limit just limits how far you can tilt the drone forward/to the side/ etc so you can't flip it upside down. But it also limits moves like diving etc. So if you want to learn manual mode, definitely turn that off.

@dylansmeets5379 12 дней назад

@@flyingfilmmaker ah oke that's what I thought. I'm currently flying sport mode but wanna try manual. I'm a little bit scared for manual, I'll drill the drone to the ground when i put it off haha. Is it an advise to leave it on so i get the feeling better?

@flyingfilmmaker 12 дней назад

@@dylansmeets5379 I was super nervous to switch to manual too. But after some sim practice it's really not as hard as I thought it would be so I think you'll he fine. Can't hurt to start with attitude limit on and get a bit of a feel, I did a short circle or two with it before going full manual.

@brandon9689 10 дней назад

If your goal is manual mode, you really want to jump into it as soon as safely possible. Or jump into the sim to get to that point. Don't rip around in sport mode all the time with a loose left stick, building false confidence. Many people broke their Avata 2's the first week doing this. It doesn't respond to knee jerk reactions in these modes and you'll crash when you try to get fancy. Most importantly it doesn't teach you anything.

@flyingfilmmaker 10 дней назад

Yep, sport mode is totally different from manual. Can't do nearly as much fun stuff with it. It is really good for super tight spaces though!
