Well, I don't know why people are complaining about the position of SD card in Avata. I find it easy to access. Maybe the first time, but then you learn, as you learn every other thing on this planet. It takes a minute or two to figure it out, but I had no problem afterwards.

[@zeke5991]

I just recently picked one up because Im new to the drone hobby. I gotta say its not flawless but damn is it amazing. So many safety features, and most issues could be fixed with a firmware update.

[@pedzsan]

I have a question about being “legal”. The rules say that even if you have a 2nd observer, the drone must stay within line of sight. So doing things like mountain surfing or flying down a river or a mountain trail, I guess, is technically illegal since the drone will be out of sight. It might be within a 100 yards but you won’t be able to see it due to obstructions. Is that legal or illegal? I see people, for example follow a bicycle race down a LONG mountain and there is no way the drone is within sight the whole time. Do they just ignore the rules and do it anyway or do they get special permission or is the “line of sight” rule actually more nuanced? One suggestion: list the 5 reasons in the description or comments so I can easily go back and remind myself of what they are. Thank you

[@andrewhill1065]

With the height limit, what happens if you go up the mountain and land somewhere then take off again? Does it reset the height to be the distance from ground you took off from?

[@CNoEvilNZ]

I tested this with a Mini 2 a year or two ago and yes, that works. However, the trouble is finding a safe place to land some hundreds of metres higher than you and being 100% sure you can take off again (retain signal)! I'd like to see DJI have their drones up the 500 metre limit whenever the drone detects something underneath it (i.e. with vision positioning system). Even if that increased limit was only valid within 100 metres horizontally of that point or similar. This should still be safe while avoid the fixed 500 metres vertical limit. I live in an area which is quite "mountainous" - the 500 metre fixed limit is annoying!

[@Thste]

No unfortunately it is not. I am flying a lot with drones and was in Peru recently travelling. Was taking off on 4500m+. Because it is connected to GPS it will always see the high altitude

[@kalebanderson6564]

@@Thstethat just means it would work though no? If you were taking off at 4500m then it obviously let you. And that would be so stupid on their part if they made it that way because then you basically wouldn’t be able to fly it anywhere that’s not close to sea level

[@DESTINYFPV]

​@kalebanderson6564 the limit is from take off point not altitude where you are at that makes no difference.

[@YasinBikmazer]

It works in theory. But sometimes the drone may not catch the appropriate conditions (gps, compass calibration required, etc.) and may not allow take-off, then you are burned.

[@XdekHckr]

2:01 You don't know what you are saying. All drones are using dji radio units so anyway you will end up with the same range on custom build

[@undefwun2135]

I only been down the FPV research route for a few days and know that you are wrong. HD Zero and the walksnail system for video are popular and ELRS or Crossfire for radio control. The most popular BNF systems are using DJI O3 for video only and ELRS for the radio control. Also what he is saying 5 and 7" drones are more suitable for those applications because more power = more resistance to wind, which you get around moutains...

[@dubjspecialk]

Geofencing from DJI is their own data. It is quite often outdated. For example, we have a prison that was decommissioned and then torn down. While it would have been awesome to fly around after the large area had been torn down and abandoned, the Geofence still to this day shows it as an active prison. For this reason, I don't agree with a Chinese company trying to determine where in the USA I can/cannot fly. If geofencing is a must for drone culture going forward, there's gotta be a better way.

[@4StringsBass]

Do I need Part 107 license to fly Avata 2?

[@Eskil27]

I really dislike that you make a thumbnail saying "don't buy this" just to get views, when your honest opinion is that this is the best drone in it's class ever built. To me it's just pure hypocritical. "5 reasons not to buy" is fair, but "don't buy" is pure bullsh*t. Such thumbnails will just make less people buy the drone, which is unfair when DJI makes such a good job creating their drones and support their users and such.

I don’t have a drone and am considering buying this because of the headset. Will I be able to use the headset/controller with non DJI fpv drones?

[@IamDylin]

When/if they release the o4 air unit you will more than likely be able to use the goggles and controller but there's no guarantee until dji actually releases it.

[@Nunyali5lx]

I just got this drone delivered today. It is amazing!. I only wish it came with the normal FPV controller as Im used to that. I have flown regular FPV drones as well. Most people I see discussing this seem to strongly believe they will eventually allow you to pair this to O3 air units. My guess is they will wait until after they release the O4 and reach some sales goal and then launch a firmware update to allow O3 compatibility. There was an update yesterday that now allows older goggles and controllers to bind to the Avata 2, so it's just a matter of time in my opinion.

But it seems to be a hardware issue, not a software issue, just bad design, it is called yaw washout / prop wash.

[@player_e7]

All of the cinewhoops have this issue, not only avata bro. Basically you shouldn’t do quick yaw turns, but adding throttle during the turn might help to avoid that 👌

[@MattDvc]

It even says in the settings to avoid sharp turns at high speed. It's design limitation. Not having ducts would help, but would make it less durable and wouldn't allow C1 certification

[@aminuk23]

Small motors and Small props won't give enough lift during sudden turns and more throttle when doing this but if that still not enough then drone goes to stall and drift with its momentum through the air, with Small drones like this you shouldn't do sudden turns but more like a smooth one that won't effect its lift or goes to prop wash and turbulence airs under its flight path, dji fixing this means put more powerful motor and bigger surface props that would causes less flight time and makes it more noisy, I got the dji fpv and it doesn't have this problem simply because the drone produces more than 2.5 times of its weight as lift during full throttle, avata 2 might just be 1:1 or just a bit more which is not enough
