Yes, I'm Buying the DJI AVATA 2! 

Since FPV simply means First Person View perhaps the 'hobby' you refer to needs to think up a new name to distinguish itself from everything else?

They need to make an avata mini that’s smaller and under 250g

Cant wait to see your review of the Avata 2

Fun video ! 😃 Thanks for the clarity on the gear. Can’t wait for your review of the Avata 2 !

WoW!!! This one button flip feature is the same as in my first drone syma x5c back in 2015 😅😂😂😂

Avada 2 fly more combo on order. Currently flying Air2S. Love it. Thank you for all the good advice!

I’m quite excited about watching all the videos and reviews in the coming days. I’ll probably buy the Avata 2 in a few weeks.

Hi Steve 😀👋👍. Looking forward to seeing the DJI Avata 2 soon. Should be just as good as the first one. Have a great week and God bless you and your family always 🙏

I think the overall package is attractive but why are they selling an fpv drone a with a non fpv remote? At least they should have a bundle with the normal RC.

Looks cool. I still just fly analog with no plan on going digital anytime soon but i still like to watch your reviews of new stuff. Im excited to see what your full review of this looks like when you get it.

I'm looking forward for your review hope you make a series of it

perfect explanation! I am new to FPV and purchased the Avata 1 a month ago, heavily discounted. as I still fly in 'Normal' and 'sport' mode and don't own a FPV controller (looking for a cheap one currently) than i'm really in no rush to purchase the Avata 2. i know it improves in everyway but the cost to performance for the upgrade is not justifiable just yet. i'll buy it in 12 months in a sale and when i've had a chance to practice and fly in manual mode and experencie the limitations of the avata 1

Looking forward to your review Steve! I value your opinion greatly. I stepped back from keeping up with the latest tech in drones so I could spend my limited funds on action cameras and dual-sport motorcycles and bicycles. Too many expensive hobbies I guess...

The only knowledge needed to fly DJI is how to make 1k for drones every year 😅

Can't wait for the review

ohhh nice! look forward your hand on experience + review too! (eventhough i can't afford drone, i always love drone review)

Hey Steve, I basically started my FPV journey on the Avata. The new camera looks awesome! I'll be waiting on your review before making a purchase. I just wonder if the new controller 3 will work with the older systems? If only someone could come out with a hack to be able to use my Radiomaster TX16S. Thanks for all you do!

I can’t wait! I’ve been waiting for this, you to get the avata 2, to see if I might get one too. I really like my avata 1. I do agree, I really wish dji would come out with an avata that is less then 250 grams. That I know I would get! 🤞🏻, can’t wait!

Pro tip. If you fly the Avata like a ciniwhoop it doesn't fall out of the sky.

Like your thoughts in this video I’m torn if I should upgrade I have the avata and the integra and just started flying in manual mode with the fpv remote 2, do you have and a recommendation for an affordable/ durable drone that has some power and decent battery life? I was thinking some cinewhoop but I want to use my goggle and controller I don’t think I need anything that can haul a GoPro I just want to have fun. The Avata I think you need big spaces to fly I would like something I could try to fly indoors as well as outdoors.

Hey Steve, I will be purchasing the Avata 2 . Forward facing cameras has my attention !! Thanks 4 ur video !!

Thanks for your insights. Always enjoy your videos and look forward to the new ones. I've played with dozens of RC models for more than 30 years...even longer than that if you count the Cox .049 control line planes and model rockets. I've built balsa gliders and nitro planes and had one of the first nitro powered heli's with mechanical gyro. Still have some old Futaba radios. Had fun messing around with Ardupilot mission planner. There's such a variety of ways to spend money in this hobby that it's always fun to see what the next improvement will be. Regarding the DJI Motion controller, I recently got one that I use with my mini 3 pro quite often, along with the Integra goggles and head tracking. To me, it adds another dimension to flying, and even though it is a beginner type controller, it's a blast to be able to just point where you want to go and pull the trigger, also the head tracking is really awesome, being able to fly a certain direction and looking all around while maintaining the trajectory. Anyway, my 2 cents.

Fun and honest video. Loved it. Can't wait for you to review the Avata 3. And I hear you, it's the googles I want. :D

If you have nothing else and just want to fly this is good kit to get you in the air and having fun. For most people this will be the only drone you ever need. It’s a Cinewhoop and it flies good for that kind of stuff. Hopefully the camera is better than the Avata 1.

Excellent point, with goggle, control, you can fly FPV 5” quad, the the 03 camera s rlyclear, for us hobbies we can get enough quality without adding another camera.

The avata is the most fun drone in my fleet. The least stressful, too. Nobody really needs those fps skills like they did in the mid to late 1900s, lol.

love the new design but i have a stock avata and an axisfly 3.5 inch avata (which is really fun in manual mode), so I probably won't upgrade for a long while.

Hey Captain, do you know if the motion controller 3 can be used with the Avata 1 ?? I, for one, use the motion controller a lot, with my DJI FPV and my Avata 1. I like the joystick type of control.

I am can't wait. Bought the last one day one to.

Two Avata 1s and two FPVs, heck yeah I'm getting it. The heavier weight will help it in windy days where Avata 1 had issues and of course the longer flight times.

Hi everyone. Is it really true that Avata 2 remote and goggles will use a different connection protocol? I won't be able to use my remote and Goggles 2 with this drone, will I? Thank you

Definitely buying the Avata2 with the add-on controller. Thank you Captain Steve!

Can’t wait until you review the A2. I don’t think I would buy it, but I will make that decision after your review. 😊

For a photographer like myself, I would be getting this, I know is not “true” fpv, but then I don’t want to worry about charging libo battery etc

Hey Steve, quick question from a noob in the FPV hobby now. My first drone is a mark5 with the DJI 03 air unit. So it's PNP. If I buy the remote and goggles....would they still work together. I'm assuming they would but unsure as I'm hearing different frequencies mean different equipment needed which is all understandable until you get to DJI PNP drones like the mark5 lol think it'll still work no problem?

I’m confused because am so sleepy after less than two hours sleep, and Steve has overloaded my brain, thanks Steve 😂 good info. 👍✈️

So there’ll be an Avata mini in 6 months then? Alongside a possible 04 air unit?

Steve, do you know if a 65W USB-C Wall Charger for Laptops can be safely used to charger the Avata 2 batteries? DJI wants $79 USD for their charger whereas anyone can pick up a $20 USD 65W USB-C charger. Thanks for providing great advice.

I saw the Rotor Riot review of the Avata 2 and they seemed pretty impressed by it.

I currently have a M2pro and bunch of FPV quads from GepRC, Diatone and others. I can fly the FPV drones I have but I would only describe my skills as fair to average. Very interested in the Avata 2 but I'm also interested in a possible Air 3S as a replacement for M2Pro. Yes, I know they are very different beasts but I will have to make a call because I cant afford both.

C1 label, improved battery and camera, improved transmission and new motion controller, works with remote controller 2: for sure I will buy it!

Are they going to release O4 air unit with the new transmission system?

I'm a forever beginner to FPV I guess as I have no intentions to delve into the nuances and heavy tweaking of the hobby and I know I don't have the reflexes to be really good so no bother. I will enjoy the normal and sport modes of the Avatas AND I will use the motion controller which is the most intuitive way to fly, analogous to a flight stick on a real plane which doesn't use gamepad controllers. Absolutely right about these DJI drones being the gateway drug into the FPV hobby only thing is that hobby isn't just FPV tweaking/build-yourself manual mode drones anymore but now includes us forever newbie legions lol

My 1st drone was the Mavic Air way back in 2018. Used a couple times then the fun stopped. I'm ordering the Avata 2. I do wish they make it smaller though. Like palm size

Thanks!

Hey, I remember my first camera drone with a flip button; it was the Parrot Bebop 2, and now voila, DJI has one too, lol.

Nice set up

Great information on the Avata 2. Thank you Captain Steve.

The only let downs about the avata 2 are the smaller fov from goggles 2 and still no hdmi input so I can’t use them with other fpv equipment that requires hdmi.

I’m going to buy one too and pray it doesn’t come standard with that lame controller the first one did. I barely flew the Avata so this will be my first deep dive.

Nice

my only one question - did they add option to disable this annoying height limiter? not that limiter that is 500m. Im about limiter that dont allow you to go lower than 30 cm and at all - avata slows down its descending when flyes lower than 5 meters above anything.

So dose the first remote work with the new drone.?

When the Avata came out I really debated getting it and ultimately it was the falling out of the sky bugs that kept me from opting in. Now that the avata 2 is on the horizon I'm really tempted again. I've been flying cam drones for forever and have always really wanted to dip my toe into fpv, but generally for me to justify the money and time for getting into fpv I've felt like I'd need something that could potentially work for me in a professional setting and I don't have the type of clients who are going to put up with many of the shortcomings of more experienced pilot oriented fpv drones. The avata series looks like it would check some of the boxes in being halfway between a cam drone and a true fpv drone while being training wheels for me to get into the fpv hobby. That said I really wish it came with the regular remote or even more selfishly a remote like the smart controller the mini 3 pro comes with so I could fly it both as a learner fpv mode and in a cam drone style.

Ya, i am not buying it fly out of sky, i think the corrected on last update, anyway Steve i haven't had that problem in manual mode. I love it.

Very curious to see if this is quieter…. DJI is advertising it as being quieter but it’s only listed as a decibel lower 🤔

I am buying the Avata 2! I had the first Avata but returned it during within the 30 day period because I hated not knowing what's around me as I sit in the open or in my car! In the US we're suppose to have a VO as well... I don't have one on standby. I said that if they ever offered goggles that shows my surroundings that I would get it. It seems as though they have, so I will LOL!

Great video

I'm thinking about getting the avata 2 I think the camera is decent, so I can use it for filming and Ive always wanted to try FPV, plus I like DJIs warrenty program if I destroy it. 😂. However Im waiting to see more reviews. I do wish it were smaller.

Let's hope the new DJI avata 2 signal strength is as good as my mini 4 pro. Or I want to be buying one. Mini 4 pro is amazing

Hey Captain im lookinh forward to buy a fpv drone rtf kit and my budget is around 100 usd I checked the Armor blue Bee which I really liked plus I prefer a display over goggles can you please suggest me something like the Armor Blue Bee but just a little better plus I am a new enthusiast and I just turned 16. Hope you reply soon

gonna buy!

yes I will buy, I will convert the old Avata to Axis, Cant wait to fly manual mode. Thanks Captain.

Same thoughts here, thanks for sharing ¶ ; - )

LOL. I wasn’t planning to buy the Avata 2 until I watched you!!! Now I’m thinking I’m gonna…flip. 😁 My original Avata has about 12 minutes of flight time. Only inside my house…so feels right to upgrade! 😉 Really, I’m just hoping the 2 is quieter! The 1 made me run back to my Mini 3 Pro.

I wouldn't call the DJI drones "Beginner Drones"... they are Camera Drones. They have a different goal. I'd call the Avata2 a Cross-Over drone. I'm considering the Avata2 as a replacement for my Mini 3 Pro, which I rarely fly but I can imagine scenarios where I'd fly the Avata2 over my other FPV quads beyond what I can readily do with the Mini 3 Pro (with the Motion Controller 2). I just wish I could run it with ELRS so I could use my Radiomaster Boxer with it.

Will there be another mini this year?

Here's a strange request- a mini 3 pro vs a mini 4 pro video....captain drone take. Maybe it'd be the same maybe not but I'm curious

I will buy the Avata 2 and for me is the new camera and when i travel . The Avata on my winter trip was the best drone ever. When it was too cold i only use the motion controller so i keep my finger. Each drone for different job .

I would buy that because of the situational awareness goggles and the 1 press sport buttons😊

Less than a day can’t wait

DJI Avata does not support forward obstacle sensing and avoidance. It only supports downward obstacle sensing when used with DJI FPV Remote Controller, or DJI Motion Controller in N Mode and S Mode.

Can't wait to see people try to mount a gopro on it.

Nice drone!!

First here again love every vids

My left hand doesn't work very well so the motion controller is the only way I'll ever experience fpv flight. Flipping would be awesome.

under 250g? no more tumbles? still compatible with goggles v2?

Buying the avata 2 tomorrow!!

TBH Avata2 looks like Aquila but larger and now it's like toy drone with 1 button flipsy stuff.. Still waiting for Spark2 btw.. Thanks for the video sir Steve..

Nice one Capitan. I've had my eye on a DJI Avata 2 for a while now.... maybe I could buy a good secondhand Avata 1 setup at a really good price from someone who wants to upgrade OR bite the bullet and pay the $1200 USD ($1843 AUD)??? Not for a while because I am modding the 455 stroker engine in my 1969 Pontiac GP. If it's got wheels, Tits, Floats or Flies its gunna cost you big bucks But hey you can't take it with you.

Thank you for buying all of your own equipment to review.

Will the RC2 work with Avata 2 or do I have to buy the RC3?

I can close my eyes and talk to people. I can watch TV and talk to people. I could sing goggles and talk to people. I didn't realize you had to see people to talk to them. That's gotta suck, dude.

A cheap bag for the avata 1 would have been nice.i only spent $7,000 in the last year on 4 dji drones,wow😁

Patiently waiting

Did you see rotor riot just uploaded a full working review on the avata 2

I am not going to change my DJI FPV. I think that this drone is unique. This drone companies me to the FPV journey and I am still learning after of 100 hours of flight time and nearly 2000Km covered. Maybe someday, I will change my drone if a DJI FPV 2 will release

I can make a autonomous drone for that price , i will stick a bit longer with my dji fpv for now .

YES!!!!! YA THE BEST CAPTAIN DRONE!!

I have a bad feeling Captain Drone is going to make me spend more money.

Hey Captain Drone, could you make a video maybe on your next rainy day on how to connect / hook up a new controller 3 and goggles 3 to use for DJI Avatar 2 simulator. I'm going to try to get serious about fpv and get off the motion controller and use the radio but I think I better spend quite some time on a simulator. Thanks in advance for any help would be gratefully appreciated.

ay ay capitan. i will too. yasss

The motion controllers are good for people that flew drones and had a traumatic experience that left them disabled and only have use of one hand......... FYI!

awsome Captain. i couldnt fly that even if you where standing beside me lol. i can just about fly a budget drone. lol

Please do indoor flying for your next review. Something like real estate real-world commercial application, not just juvenile fun. Thanks.

Is this a good beginner drone?

You should do a giveaway like the old days with your Avada 1 and gear. You know. Since you wont be using it anymore. I shot first dibs. Just kidding. Always love your energy.

May finally pull the plug for Avata 2.

It is interesting that over the past 24 hours there at least a couple dozen channels suddenly releasing their "Review" of the AVATA 2. I have not watched them all, but I've noticed they have eerily similar talking points and rave about it. Personally I do not consider such videos to be reviews, I consider them to be demos because they lack any significant cons. And any cons are more like feature requests that can be added in future software updates.

waiting👌🏻
