NEW DJI Motion Controller 2 Full Flight & Overview 

I think it would make more sense to show your hand motion than your face during flight.

Great job!!! Very helpful to get to know the Motion Controller 2. The run down the river and up the railroad tracks was incredible!

Okay Billy, Thanks for the review on the controller 2. But I think there’s one important aspect of this system you’re not touching on and I think that’s a big disservice. The head tilt function is huge and one of the best features of this system. Think about it. Apart from racing…where your heading is fixed because of your focus on what you’re doing. But in real life, whether you’re driving a car, boat, airplane or even just walking, we all pick a direction or heading… say with the steering wheel and hold it, then we have the freedom to look around. Whether it be to anticipate a turn and do a shoulder check, to enjoy the view to the right, left, up or down without changing our heading. That’s huge! This is what we do in real life, every day. Why would you pass over this great feature? You could look up before you ascend to make sure there is nothing overhead. You could look to the right before committing to a turn so there are no surprises. Then just practice following your direction with head tilt. Follow the little circle. It’s not rocket science. Get used to initiating a turn with the joystick and follow through with your head tracking. Guys who don’t use this feature or don’t think it’s for them, really haven’t given this much thought. Have a good one.

Thanks Billy for this video as I have been flying non stop practicing on the controller 2 but also want to try the manual mode, been a week so far and I am addicted to this drone!

I remember when I first flew my DJI FPV with the motion controller 1 (was a gift), and thought it'd be a little gimmick I rarely use... However it's now my primary way I fly, it's just so fun. I'm looking forward to getting v2 as reverse and strafing would be very enjoyable extras. Thanks for the video.

I just got the avata with the 2nd generation motion controller and i was almost scared to fly FPV. But after using that controller i would say that I'm hooked! It's just so much fun and as you said, very intuitive. I've used the reverse many times to get myself reoriented so I'm glad that's an option! Nice review Billy!

The Avata and motion controller are taking over the drone world! 🤣 Great review Bill!

Good stuff! Thanks for making this video. DJI does it again! Good work. 😀

Just got the Avata after flying regular drones for 5+ years. Never thought I'd get an FPV drone. Glad I did. Really enjoying it along with the new motion controlller.

Thanks for the intro to the motion controller 2. I ordered one, taking advantage of the DJI coupon but haven't had a chance to try it. Your intro video is great for explaining new capabilities.

Now I’m starting to get interested in the Avata. Nice first look at the new RC Motion 2, it seems like a solid upgrade. Great video, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the demo Billy just got the MC2 and it really does have some great new additions over the original one.

Nice job🎉 Getting mine tomorrow. With controller too!!

Info on Changing the rates on the joystick is very useful Info. Really opens up what it can do. Just got the Avata with the motion controller 2 and love it. Only complaint I had was the joystick was too slow. Looking forward to using that in my next flight. I also have the controller 2 and love that I can fly manual but the motion controller 2 makes it so easy to use without needing much practice to get good.

Thanks Billy for this review. I still don't own the Avata, although I want it badly, I was able to fly one yesterday with Rod of HotRod In Daytona at the Pier in Daytona. That was my first time flying the Avata and always thought the motion controller was a gimmick of sorts but I was pleasantly surprised in how quickly I was flying and threading the needle of some close palm trees. I had a blast and this newer motion controller looks like it has some very nice additional features that might be of interest to some. Maybe one day I can grow up and own the Avata but for now I still love my Air 2S and my Mini 3 Pro w/RC. Peace Y'all!

I've not used my Motion Controller 2 yet, but the ability to go into reverse and the easier landing is what I'm looking most forward too. I am putting together videos of covered bridges, and sometimes I've gotten into a tight situation where there isn't much room to turn around to get out of the tighter areas, so the ability to go in reverse, I'm hoping, is going to make that part a little easier. And the landing using the joystick I think will make it much easier. Great video Billy!

Great video, thank you

Another killer vid Billy K!

Billy, thanks for the great review of the Motion 2; mine arrived at home while I was at the Florida meetup. Going to take the maiden flight with the Motion 2 this afternoon. I love flying the Avata with the MC; I’ve been flying it with the V2 Goggles; I just ordered the Integra, to be delivered this week. Have fun; hope to fly with you when your in Dallas sometime.

Hey Billy thanks for the info on the MC2 I bought one to try out.

Hey billy great video as usual. I was wondering how one learns the perspective of distance between object and drone? Cheers

Great how to video Billy. I kept trying to link my original motion controller with the Mini 4 pro and finally figured out I had to get the motion controller 2. Now have and yes I think it is worth it. One question, when you are flying what setting are you running. My video seems to always come out jerky not smooth. Suggestions Dave..

Another great tutorial, Billy! Can you talk about the ability for the new controller to strafe... Or focus on a POI while orbiting? You also mentioned that you would not use this setup for your most cinematic capture. However, upon getting very used to the controls, it would be very possible to slow down a bit and capture something beautiful, correct?

My wife just got this for me for my birthday. I can't wait to try it out. I'm newbie so simulation first.

I really like your videos. The 1st one when you crashed your Avata in Nevada was awesome……after seeing the crashworthiness I bought one. I actually enjoy it much more that the FPV because of that. I upgraded and used my MC2 for 1st time today and it was awesome. This is my 14th DJI drone since my 1st gen Phantom…… I understand why they dont put a 3 axis gimbal on this one, but it sure would be nice to have an option. BTW, your demo location is just awesome!

Good review Billy.

You know I am still truly just a beginner but I love this Hobby when I have time to fly and in a place to use it😊😊

Great vid ... except, since I've never used it, it would be great to see how you are moving the controller in relation to the movement of the drone.

Really nice!!!

Nice video

As always...informative ...thanks again !!

Thanks for the review ... just got MC 2, will explore it soon ... would love to see how to do Orbit with this MC2 ... Regards from Jakarta, Indonesia

Your opinion if you were buying a mini pro 4 would you spend the extra money to buy the motion controller two? It already comes with an RC pro. Thanks! Appreciate your video.

The biggest advantage of the joystick is the ability to circle your subject which wasn't possible with the first motion controller. The move is not as intuitive as flying straight because you're sliding the opposite direction as you're turning, but still easier than mastering full manual controls.

The new controller is awesome!!

hi thanks for the review. this is very helpful. I just wonder how did you not have the power cable for the goggle? did they integrate the battery into it?

Excellent 🔄⭕🔄

Was debating, but now will get it since DJI sent a nice discount code for those of us who have it with the original Avata pkg.

Loved the informative video. Thanks! I'm a new drone owner so this is a dumb question: Do I need to use the goggles to be able to use this motion controller?

Thanks billy for sharing listen I like my avata and my motion controller 2 lots fun to fly love it people have to experience this and I also love my Maverick 3 awsome drone also and my mini 2 love Dji products 💯💯👍

That joystick on the new controller seems nice. Might get an upgrade just because of it.

Thanks for this. How do I link the new motion controller 2 to my Avata and virtual flying app. It doesn’t seem to connect.

Can you fly forward and at the same time use the joystick to move up? Kinda of simulating what you would do with a regular FPV controller by increasing thrust while maintaining same angle

Hi Billy, I would like to ask you something ...I'm a little rusty, for the past year, I haven't done anything with my drones. So, I'm too lazy to look for the correct information. I have a DJI FPV drone ... very happy with the little beast! Is MC2 compatible with DJI FPV drone?

Awesome video Billy will you be doing a comparison video of the integra Goggles to the goggles 2 ?

Hi! With the new controller, can you "rotate" sideways, circleing an orbject easy?

Hi. Great video. If I could come with a future request, that must be that the right down camera show how you use the controller in situations that are new from the existing version 1 motion controller. It much easier too see what you actually do instead of you describing it. Otherwise a great video as always. 👍

And where did you change the speed. In the app? Thanks!!

Hi, great video really interesting. I have a quick question do you think the FOV old version 2 goggles is more immersive than new integra goggles?did you ever have any issue with blurring in the version 2? I'm looking to buy one of the new avata sets but not sure if to buy the version 2? Any advice would be great appreciated 😊

I didn't realise there were no rules when flying a FPV drone. Sweet!

Great video but yes it's good to see your hand.

Sorry if i missed this, with the motion controller the avata is still limited in performance, like full sport is not possible? For the fpv, same question..If so, that would be a disappointment

Can i use the joystick and accellerate at the same time?

Are their any options to adjust the sensitivity of the controller??

Hey I noticed that when you were under the bridge the altitude read at -67ft. Is that from your take off/home point?

I'd be more impressed with the joystick if DJI would upgrade the speed when using the Motion Controller. I don't really care much about reverse to buy a 2nd joystick, because like you said it opens you up to running into junk because you cannot see behind you. I'd use the motion controller more if I could actually do side rolls with it. I don't think I'd focus on front and back rolls since the Avata has a very hard time with prop wash on those maneuvers. Like Ken Heron says, "Nothing Beat Manual Mode Fun!"

Hello, I'm interested in knowing how it was that you configured the Fpv drone in RC Motion 2 control. I've tried and they don't want to link

i agree. the motion controller is built for fun while the RC 2 controller has more options as far as control is concerned. That said... i purchased both with my DJI air 3. Happy flying!!

Does the joystick control sorta defeat the purpose of the motion controller? Makes it more like a regular controller.

Think it will be compatible with the original DJI FPV drone? I like flying with the motion controller better than the reg rc controller nice vid your brave flying over water sir ✌️

One Question: The requirement that you have to have visual contact with the drone at all times, so, explain please?

if i set avata on manual mode, and something goes wrong, will the “brake” button work?

Im looking fwd to dji fpv 2

You think we can link this motion controller2 to the DJI FPV?

imagine doing a motion controller review and not showing the controller in flight

Can you change the joystick input speed?

Considering the purpose and industry services that I have in mind the Avata's features suit perfectly despite its inability to operate at higher motion of speeds when compared to other DJI models. I do have a question for those of you and / or Billy Kyle, who currently fly the Avata and have upgraded to the recently released Motion Controller 2 RC. Does it work with flight simulators that are currently on the market?

This controller is such an improvement! Do you see them making this drone compatible with future Mavic releases like the air 3 ?

It would have been great if you showed the movement of the controller as you were moving it

Hey is this 2nd iteration going to allow for more acrobatic shots and maneuvering?

Is motion controller 2 is compatible with dji goggles V2 with dji fpv?

In your opinion (Billy Kyle or anyone with experience), which device gives you the best control of the aircraft, the motion controller 2, or the FPV RC 2? I'd like to make real estate videos, flying it inside of houses, and need to have close control of the aircraft.

The stick allows you to orbit now. Move right on the stick with a left turn of your hand (or the opposite direction to go the other way).

When does your Inspire 3 video come out?

First of all, what are you doing at home? 🤣🤣 Been flying my new Avata Explorer bundle now for about a week. I bound the RC from the DJI FPV to work with the Avata. I've tried twice with the Motion Controller, but I chicken and get too nervous, feeling like I don't have as much control. But watching how you follow the reticle, I'm gonna try it again. BTW, have you noticed the glaring issue with the Integra goggles yet?

With how many DJI drons it's compatible?

I noticed you didn’t have your goggles hooked up to a cell phone while flying? I sent the first model back because the cord for the battery and the cord for the phone were just ridiculous. You’re really free flying here. Is it true?

Was hoping you would show How to orbit with it!

Can someone please help me out i cant figure this out i googled but nothing .i just bought a avata drone but when i put the goggels on the image when i zoom in 100% is still small and it isnt full screen there are black borders around it is this normal dous evryone have this or is it just me .

Why did they make the MC only for standard and Sport mode? Is there any valid reason it couldn't be used in manual mode as well? Thanks, I just received my MC 2 yesterday!

Can you do flips?

Where to change motion controller speed settings from?

You are The Man!!!

Can I use motion control with mini 3 pro with display Rc,, without using Goggles?

Billy, what goggle set up do you prefer the DJI Integra goggles or the Dji goggles? It is confusing Thanks

Hey Billy I had a quick question for ya. Doss your avata continue to drift up or down long after you use the joystick? Mine acts like it is on ice and being pushed and continues to slide up or down metaphorically speaking. And please if you know how I can fix this so that when I stop pressing up or down on the stick the drone will immediately follow suit and not continue to drift an additional 3 to 4 feet past where I intended to stop. I changed the values to greater cause the default was way too slow. I can't find anything on the net cause it is new and am lost.

my joystick isn't working for some reason, any has had that happen to them?

hey Billy A question: to fly the avatar in the United States do you still have to connect the cell phone for it to take off ?? because of the remote ID

Perfect upgrade. I also reviewed rc motion 2. Avata can make orbits with rcm2 now

How are you flying without your phone plugged in for remote ID? Isn’t that a thing?

You should show the way you use the motion controller i the Down right picture instead of talking about how you use it. Think that will give people more of a understanding on how you control it. Me personally that got the first version would love too see the different. Otherwise a great video. 8:46

Does this new controller allow you to do the classic FPV dive?

Can you dive with this controller and Avata?

The Avata is just too loud to fly in most areas. I primarily use the fpv controller anyway. Thanks for the review but I'll stick with a true controller.

How do you like the Integra compared to Goggle 2?

cant do setting for flight mode speed

How does it compare to the DJI Remote Controller 2 ?

😅 Great. Will it work with Avata and Goggles v2?

DJI Motion Controller 2 compatible with mini 4 pro? What DJI goggles are compatible with the mini pro 4?

Damn you made me nervous with how close you get........lol
