At 06:50 I mention that the Goggles 3 & Remote 3 are not compatible with any previous Air Units (Like DJI O3). I'm pretty stoked to say that this has just changed in a recent update from DJI where the Goggles 3 & Remote 3 are now able to be used with DJI O3. This compatibility doesn't reach back to the original DJI Air Units, but it's still a very welcomed addition. I'll up the M-Points for this category to 6 😉
First up I'll offer a little criticism of the presentation irrespective of subject and content. Well done indicative of telent refined with effort to improve those gifts. The Avata provides 60% of the fun of a private manned aircraft at a negotiable cost. The immersive flight makes the world a whole different place to explore and experience again from a virgin perspective. I've gotten to see flowers in places and from perspectives otherwise unobtainable. Different flavor of fun.
Great video, Brodie Reed! Your insights and thorough review of the DJI Avata 2 are incredibly helpful. Thanks for highlighting the key features and potential drawbacks-it's exactly what I needed before making my purchase decision. Keep up the fantastic work!
thanks for the revew. I have the avata 2 and its amazing for slow cinematic vidios or house tours and its amazing for just flying around and exploring. its very beginner friendly and fun to fly. I think you have summed up the avata 2 really well. I think you should mention fcc and ce mode because it really affects the stuff you can do with it. keep up the good work!
I sold my DJI FPV, i bought it 2 weeks before first avata got released, sold it for 750 €, it was very bad to carry around and i could not take it to plan due to the size. Got my hands on second hand avata 2 fly more combo for 850€ with delivery, i had no intention of buying it but could not get away from that deal so i got it. Can sell it for 1100€ now. Very happy, very big improvements over first DJI FPV. I have never used first avata so cant compare to it. It has 2h flight in logs so it is almost brand new.
I've been treating mine is basically a really expensive RTF Acro trainer. In that regard I'm satisfied. You have to be really careful diving with low battery or you'll hit the ground. I'm definitely a bit concerned about the goggles 3 still not having any FPV compatibility whatsoever. I feel completely stuck until some 03/vista compatibility gets patched.
Hey man, I dont want to buy A drone, I want to build one. Can you do a video about what FPV headset, Controller, FC, ect to build our own? I watched someone else and went analog and was not a fan. I Flew it straight into the trash can.... well I missed but I didn't retrieve it.
I found the best way i could get a decent setup at a budget price was to get a refurbished unit from DJI, i went with the Avata 1 Explorer combo, already had the controller 2 from my DJI FPV drone. All i need to do now is get the Avata 2 on its own then i have all 3 DJI FPV drones...Win win 😎👌
Im just starting with FPV. Question is, should you buy a avata at all? From my Research there should be better alternatives like a nasgul. And i cant wait to build my own 😅
In case you are sure about your plans to enter FPV, there are two experiences: Start with an avata and you will out grow it within 6 Months. Guaranteed. Its is like, you can't switch off the automatic assistance systems and while you progress with control over your quad, it will limit you. On the other hand, a nazgul might feel scary and overwhelming to start with. It is like starting driving with a super sport car. So my tip is: It depends on what you wanna do. If you just want enjoying cruising FPV, an avata is pretty awesome and will you enable to do that without stress and fear. If you are about to send your quad and plan to start learning tricks, risking your quad, you might wanna skip the avata. Especially the version 2 because she might take a beat, but will certainly not survive harder impacts. You should be willing to let these 500 Euro go... Like, ehhm, yes, in case you plan to power loop to the moon and back and are serious about progressing, you should not be afraid off spending about 100 Euro per month in median. You will crash and you will break stuff. That's part of the hobby. The avata is rather a fpvish freestyleable cinewhoop. Neither a mini4 nor a nazgul. Somewhere in the middle of those.
@@LarsEchterhoffthanks for the tips! Will go for a self build drone, cant wait building/fixing them 😅 Also spending a truckload of hours in the sim bevore, just crusing aint gonna cut it for me.
@@littledoseTM I have started with the avata and then got a nazgul. The I bought a 3inch and after 2 years, I usually grab my 2inch betafpv pavo20 for some fun. The 5 inchs stress me still out because of their weight and danger. 😅
Please listen to me. The avata might be a good drone. But thats it. It is not an introduction to the hobby, it‘s an introduction to flying. You don‘t learn anything about soldering, electronics and generally it is just a toy rather than a hobby. I saw your comment below that you will do a self build, and thats the best decision you will ever do! You learn SO MUCH and it is SO MUCH FUN! I mean a nazgul is pretty dang cool, probably better than your self built, but I see a lot of people buying a nazgul, goggles 2 and using the rc 2 with the air unit (which is a terrible idea don‘t ever do that), and then when they crash it is up to you how to tell them oh yeah do that buy that. Long story short, going with a custom built drone is a wonderful idea, and it will pretty much change your life. Hope to seeing you in the air!
@@BrodieReedHello Brodie. So it‘s a really nice video and a good perspective of what to expect with the avata. But personally I think you should give a good explanation about the difference between the avata and a self build. I know you built your own drone, and so did I. Maybe my experience was better with how things worked out, but there is a night and day difference between flying the avata and a normal fpv drone. When people buy the avata as their first drone, they all say it is wonderful, but we all know that they aren‘t getting the full experience. This might be controversial, but I will never see the avata as an real fpv drone. What I mean by that is that you are getting a toy, not a hobby. And most people won‘t have money to buy a whole kit and then buy other goggles, controller and a new drone.
