Amendment to the pricing of DJI Care Refresh for the Avata 2: 1 year - $59 2 years - $99 Replacement - $49 Flyaway replacement - $199

@m11kan 2 месяца назад

and drone only somewhere around $489, if buying new.

@silverfox74 Месяц назад

Hi Billy - would you mind telling me what your rate/expo settings are for flying the Avata 2 in manual.

@RobJames82 2 месяца назад

Ingredients: 1. Bad pilot 2. Idiocy 3. Repeat

DJII Care Refresh: OMG! IT IS BILLY!....AGAIN!

@BobCaseyAerial 2 месяца назад

Rebar and pipe was hanging everywhere but you kept flying. Straggle city lol. You could’ve sugar coated this. Your edit could’ve shown everything was golden but you showed humility. Kudos Billy. I can dig these type of vids from you.

@dmac8207 2 месяца назад

Please do more of these style videos Billy! I know your main mission is to review specific drones and thier features all while educating the audience. However, this FPV kind of care free flying video was really cool and relaxing. Love your edits as always cheers 🍻

@RonaldBrown59 2 месяца назад

I heard a few people speculate that the Avata 2 was not as durable or repairable as the Avata one. And I guess your video shows that to be true. Sorry about your crash, that was an interesting worksite. I’m glad you have a backup now and the crashed Avata 2 is on the way back to DJI for repair. Great video, and thanks for sharing.

@BMacksAerialVisuals 2 месяца назад

Damn, Billy! I remember your initial reviews on the Avata 1 and mentioning it was good because it was forcing you out of your GPS drone comfort zone. And look at you now: Manual mode, power 180 curves and crashing like a FPV veteran! U da man! Refresh it is.

@BobCaseyAerial 2 месяца назад

I'm glad you showed real life flying a bando It Happens. Good Video Billy

@JaredHoyman 2 месяца назад

I had to like your video right at the crash out of sympathy. I just bought the Avata 2 last week and it was my first time flying fpv. Very happy with the experience, but I did crash it twice and one of the times was on a parking lot, but it bounced back up to 15ft with only scuffs on the feet. Pretty impressed on the durability of this drone compared to my Mavic 3 Pro. Confidence level has risen just over a few days of flying. Your video's make a lot more sense to me now after watching them over the past couple of years now that I have dipped my feet into fpv. Keep it up!

@JaredHoyman 2 месяца назад

BTW...Best Buy's total program is the best. $170 a year. I replaced my Mavic 3 pro twice in 10 months after crashes with only a $100 deductible. Best part is you get a brand new one same day from Best Buy.

@finnybflyin 2 месяца назад

Thank you, Billy. Looks more like having fun than working. I definitely am thinking about getting one in the near future. Cheers, Brendan

@michaelkosinski5671 2 месяца назад

Hey Billy, I always enjoy your drone content. I have the DJI lineup except FPV which I really want to get into. Avata 2 looks like fun. I'd like to start with one of them. That sucks about your Avata 2 but hopefully you have it sent in and get it back quickly man. ✌️

@TaniaGail 2 месяца назад

Nice night videos, was this taken with an Inspire 3?

@DiscoveringTheHighLife 2 месяца назад

Thanks for this! I've seen lots of Avata 2 damage vs 1. I still think I want the 2 for my indoor work. My avata 1 is SO loud.

@rogerhalt3991 2 месяца назад

Thanks for this insight, I’ve had one or two spicy moments where I thought I wouldn’t get my Mini back but managed. I haven’t flown FPV before but the underneath looks really small but IRL the space is massive

@RandyCAstleMPM 2 месяца назад

Great place to fly besides the rebar lol. I like seeing you pushing your comfort zone. To bad about the duct. Hopefully, you get it back soon. I think the 2 year care refresh for the Avata 2 is $99. Getting that is spretty much a no brainer imo. Can't wait to see the progress. Looks like it's gonna be a pretty amazing park.

@bobfiore8 2 месяца назад

Bro this video was awesome. I had a similar day with the Avata 1. lol. You’re hitting everything but the lottery. 😂😂

@paulhendershott667 2 месяца назад

Are you going to use Ken's new Prop guard bumpers???

@larrycole6476 2 месяца назад

Keeping my avata 1 !! It’s an upgrade for sure but not at the expense of not being to replace parts on my own

@BIGboiFASTboi 2 месяца назад

Fun video man! That odd feeling you were feeling before the final crash was likely due to interference from all of the rebar, if not from damage. That rebar causes a ton of RF interference with the radios.

@BIGboiFASTboi 2 месяца назад

Also, I just noticed that if you check out 7:53, really closely, you'll see a dent in your prop guard where it eventually failed.

@scottcjmckelviephotography 2 месяца назад

Enjoyed your video. I used it first time proper as my first drone and I guess because I forgot to switch out of default settings when I reached so far down the beach to Culzean Country Park it lost signal and just landed. Thankfully, I learned about the function to 'find my drone' in the app, I didn't know that at the time. I use the motion controller as that's what I have for the time being, waiting to get that controller. Unsure if the motion controller enables you to spin rotate around subjects like that. It's definitely a lot of fun though.

@martstevensprojectfotograf9078 2 месяца назад

I would be very interested in a (final) construction video you made, just to get inspired how your result would look like. I'm doing the same thing here in the Netherlands and are always interested in how other pro's work. Would you mind to share some? Thanks in advance!

@mrhlynnu1464 2 месяца назад

Do you think "bumpers" like they have for the Avata 1 would help mitigate some potential damage?

@freeflightfilms7403 2 месяца назад

there is a battery retainer that stops the battery coming out as that happened to me and no signal! I aslo stick on with velcro an air tag , an additional gps you can search with your phone, lastly protect it with stick on rubber, flies the same much more protection, from your crash its not very strong so it must have protection...saludos from Spain, ps wouldnt youj rather have eg a cinelog 35 with carbon frame and repairable?

@GameChronicles 2 месяца назад

Pro Tip: If you're buying your drones at Best Buy get their GSP plan. I crashed my Avata 2 last week. Same damage as yours (prop guard and blade). Took it in for a warranty claim and they just swapped it out. Was back in the air in about 5 hours.

@mhmphotography400 2 месяца назад

Do you think the DOBO ribbed duct guards would have saved the prop guards on your Avata 2

@theswordfirex5show467 2 месяца назад

I picked up the Avata 2 a couple weeks ago as a first FPV...that sweeping move that you do at 9m 24 sec., can that be done with the motion controller???

@silverfox74 2 месяца назад

Yes it can and with more ease too but there are things you can't do with the motion 3 like fly in manual hitting 60mph+

@brandon9689 2 месяца назад

My first FPV was a Tinyhawk 3 Freestyle. It $350 for Analog ready to fly kit. The remote failed in a few weeks of light use and caused me to crash into wet bushes and fried the board. Replacement boards are completely unavailable, I'm screwed and it was unusable before I even finished paying it off. I'm excited to get one of these. It may not be the most respected piece of hardware by the hardcore community, But I can focus on improving my flying without having to worry about anything else.

@txarchdroneguy4731 2 месяца назад

Billy, i wonder if Ken’s Ribbed Riders would have kept the drone from damage. I love my Avata 2

@VictorMartin-pv6sm 2 месяца назад

It just may be you being a little skittish after your crash. You’ll get your confidence back….

@TimFilmsCars 2 месяца назад

I have to think that, worst-case scenario, someone will release 3D-printed parts for it. Hopefully DJI does the right thing and makes the more rebar-prone parts user-replaceable though. Excited to try this thing in a few months, but I'll be avoiding twisted rebar for a while!

@mavrk.d 2 месяца назад

I like how real this is. I don't think people realize you actually will crash a lot flying drones.

@silverfox74 2 месяца назад

FPV drones in acro for sure but not more conventional GPS drones. I've had one serious crash in 8 years flying nearly 3,000km in total distance with 13 different DJI drones. I'm also yet to crash my Avata 2 but I don't push it beyond what I feel comfortable doing. I would definitely crash it doing what Billy did in this vid (you would have to be a highly experienced FPV flyer not to) but that doesn't mean people crash drones a lot.

@KoelAnderson 2 месяца назад

I don't see you flying like this often if ever. It def takes practise and keeping composure to fly proximity.

"You just kind of flying blind until whats right in front of you. like look at all those rebar right here" smash it and then talk about repairability. (insert Goofy picture "i'll freaking do it again"). Anyway thanks for showing durability and how not to fly your drone

I think it would benefit you to scope the area a bit more before just sending it and hoping for the best

@1EyeInTheSky 2 месяца назад

I hate that you crashed and broke the drone but it does demonstrate the durability and I think people are gonna crash this thing A LOT. So this was a good example of what can happen when you crash while flying in certain terrain. I feel like if the ground had just been dirt it might have survived but the concrete rubble probably caused a tumble effect that magnified the crash. Thanks for showing us and sorry the drone got sacrificed in the process.

@markus4979 2 месяца назад

I wonder if it would be worthwhile to get some fastening method prevent battery ejection? 😂 Only alternative would be a Bluetooth tracker. +1 for care refresh when spending so much money already on a drone! Re the frame, isn't the antenna also built into it? Great point to get it repaired for sale of safety and reliability!🔥

@florisjonker1986 Месяц назад

I broke it at the same place. Glued it with 2k glue and then melted it tight with a hot knife. A bit of sanding the inside so the propeller can turn freely and voila... Good as new! ;)

@JoaoSilva-vx4sh 2 месяца назад

I believe the consumers should start to shift away from DJI decreasing the sales of avata 2 to send a message that we would like the ability to fix our expensive drones.

Super glue and a fine paint brush will fix that in 5 minutes. It will be stronger than the other ones. Paint as much surface area as you can with the glue, mate them, and wipe the excess. Try it!

Come on RU-vidrs! A million of you does one product review. How about make a video to target. Why do we need so many controllers? DJI IS NOT being environmentally friendly. You RU-vidrs must reach out to DJI to also have the controller 3 compatible with others drones like the Mini 4 and Air 3 Or the RC 2 compatible with the Avata 2. This seems so logical why hasn't DJI done this? It's all O4 so it should just be a software update.
