DJI Avata 2 - The BEST Tutorial for Beginners

[@Brundleslife]

I’ve watched like 100 Avata 2 videos on KZbin. Yours is the most informative and detailed I’ve seen. Thanks

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Wow, thanks!

[@davidmurray1630]

Just got my Avata 2 and have not flown it yet. This is by far the best video I've seen yet. Thanks so much!!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You are very welcome!

[@pjhunton]

Your channel is responsible for my temporary poverty (in a good way, but not if you ask my wife). I got the Neo fly more, then the Neo Motion kit (addicted to this little drone) and now you have convinced me I need an Avata and most of the little FPV cine drones.........(puts on lottery and crosses fingers)

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Ha ha, there are many Wives who are hoping Santa brings me a lump of Coal. Enjoy the AVATA 2!

Merci Bien!

[@kinafish]

18:25 Perhaps push the trigger forward after the drift, as in reverse flight🤔

[@Yusmaidhar]

10:55 quick tip, you can actually make the drone look side to side with the motion controller by pressing lightly on the throttle, just enough that the circle shows up on the goggle. There is actually two steps when pressing down on the throttle, 1st is to let the pilot view 360 degrees, and the 2nd one when you actually press the throttle down to the max then the drone will fly to the indicated direction. I'm glad i found your video, I just bought my avata 2 a week ago... still learning 😊

[@solorider-2020]

pretty much the best video's!! i watch you for years now. thank you for sharing!!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you, I appreciate your support!

[@PianoManPaul]

I'll have mine, the full 3-battery kit, in a week or two. Can't wait! You probably could have mentioned DJI's "Care Express" insurance options, I always get the 2-year, 4-replacement coverage (my Avata 1 has that still). This particular product, like its predecessor, is among the LEAST expensive DJI drones to replace if you happen to damage it, or camera system, or battery (compared to the Air series ... very inexpensive!) ... anyhow, thank you for your insightful Avata 2 features presentation here Steve.... happy flying!

[@jonnymoke]

Legit!! Thank you

[@Daud431]

awesome video dude, keep making them same way.. Very easy to understand everything

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thanks, will do!

[@JoshuaHarrell-bk8dz]

Thank you. Was getting frustrated with the slow charging as I want to fly all day. I'm out in the country and this Avata 2 is Heaven. Thank you again.

[@davidgrubb354]

What USB charger did you get to speed up charging. I don't see a link to the USB charger Steve was using...

my feed is flodded with Avata 2 vids. :D I watch all of them.

[@ChefJoshCarterOrtiz]

Good solid guide! Thank you

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@Raptor50aus]

Also I read the Goggles 3 manual and found it supports 2D and 3D movies with USB-C for audio. They are fantastic. 65W USB-C or above works great for charging.

[@CurtisTheFlyer]

How do you adjust the gimbal angle with the Motion 3 so there more gorund in the view and less sky? Thanks for the vids.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The dial on the motion controller adjusts the gimbal

[@brandon9689]

You think of everything Captain Drone. I was literally just typing out a question which you anwered at 27:00. If your stick is loose, do N/S modes work like angle mode on a regular quad? You have full throttle management and it will bounce off the ground if you don't manage it? Or does it just raise and lower like a normal gimbal drone?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

With the throttle stick loose It continues to function as per any MAVIC type drone in Normal & Sport Modes.

[@3DPRINTINGWITHLEE]

Great introduction

[@BeeBird_FPV]

I just got mine a few days ago. I'm curious about the "beginner mode" rates compared to the rates you set in the video for flying indoors. There does not seem to be a way to check them without taking it out of beginner mode, which I'm not ready to do. But whatever they are, it is very easy to fly around my very small home-office without getting into trouble. I've been flying a Cetus Pro (only in Normal mode) for about six weeks so maybe that helped, otherwise I'm very much a beginner. great video btw.

[@Purplebanana207]

What do you advise for beginners motion controller or manual mode?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The AVATA2 comes with the MOTION3 so that is what beginners will use. If a person was previously flying a DJI MINI or DJI MAVIC then they would prefer the REMOTE 3.

[@Purplebanana207]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks I previously flew a mavic air 2 really good drone

[@ukmonk]

Great video thank you! I LOVE my Avata 2! I normally fly with the RC3 in manual mode but actually I always take out my motion controller when I go out as sometimes its just nice to have a chilled flight!

[@clickryan]

Great video, for me doing indoor flights you can just switch to beginner mode

[@pianomans1]

Another great video Steve! I'm enjoying the Avata 2! It definitely has capabilities that regular FPV drones can't do. Ok , not impossible but very difficult to do. A simple example is if you need it to hover and video something. Kinda like your mini 4 pro was orbiting you during your video. That is another great drone! DJI is really pushing out great products! Thanks Steve ! Looking forward to your next videos on the Avata 2!

[@NBSTL68]

Is there no crash / obstacle avoidance on the Avata 2 at all? I am looking at this for a 1st drone bc it looks simple but assume without obstacle avoidance I'd crash and render it useless in no time as a newbie. How durable is this thing to handle crashes without repair?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It is an FPV drone designed for beginners. All DJI drones are designed for beginners but their FPV class of beginner drones are built to handle newbies crashing them into the ground at all speeds, so you’ll be fine.

[@NBSTL68]

@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks!

[@marcinw.9464]

This is exactly what I was looking for. Many thanks :)

[@cheekyoscar1353]

One of the best videos for beginners i have seen of all of them , explained very very well... I'm just about to purchase one of these and I'm so pleased I watched yours , I have sent you a separate question.. thank you so much ... 👍👍👍❤

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Awesome, thank you!

[@hgodtx]

Cleaning the lens.... How delicate/tough is the camera structure? Like what kind of pressure/movement would break it? Like can I pinch it strongly with left fingers and wipe it with right hand? Heard stories of how people broke it doing such? Appreciate any advice!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It is very durable

[@joserperez928]

Great video . What happened to object avoidance. You didn’t mention anything about it.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I did mention twice during the video that there is no object avoidance.

[@BradlyFackrell]

Great tutorial! Thank you!!

[@emptyqrider]

Most advanced simple to fly ever made .. i recall the video earlier when you mentioned that this one going to be your choice to buy .. Super fun, that’s why 👏🏻👏🏻

[@ukmonk]

If doing a real estate video, also make sure no light objects or papers etc on tables, also do a nice clean/tidy up first as dust/fur will fly everywhere, so maybe do a few test runs before the real deal!

[@nrnoble]

Nice video. I bought an Air 3 and it also does not come with a charger. And I also discovered it slowly charges when using inexpensive chargers. It took over 12 hours to charge three batteries. It was something that other demo channels did not point out. Overall, it is not big deal, mostly annoying to find out after the fact.

[@jarekgorak6627]

Very good tutorial. I fly AIR3, time to get new skills so I bought Avatar 2. Regards

[@LandOverview]

Will it go into auto RTH when whipping around in manual, I tend to lose track of time and forget to monitor the battery at times, mostly I only got 5 to 6 min max on their FPV model and was lucky once when it came back overland as opposed the water when it suddenly did a forced landing on me, so just wondering if this one calculates it a bit better for auto RTH from manual to actually complete the RTH when your battery gets low. Anyway this bundle seemed good to me for the price especially as goggles are much smaller, not tried it yet but your video was a lot of help at least I found out how to start it if I use that motion stick thing , before I thought twisting it was for pan/rudder maybe and tilting it would be like ailerons and to do spins, although I think I will use the regular stick remote when it comes never used that motion stick thing even on their first FPV.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yes, RTH still works in MANUAL MODE because DJI designed this drone for beginners and will not allow you to turn off the GPS. So this is a good thing if you stop paying attention to the remaining battery voltage.

[@andyp.4205]

Thanks Steve. I feel its an upgrade from the A1. Hopefully, they make backwards compatibility with the Integra and the other FPV remote. If not I will most likely sell the Avata and get it anyway.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

DJI always adds backwards compatibility after they have sold enough of the new product.

[@michaeledwin4258]

Amazing tutorial for beginner 🙂 Thanks again!

[@VandJwheelies]

Hey love the vid, i wanna get a fpv drone but im tied between the avata 2 and the dji fpv. I really like all the freestyle i see with 5 inch quads but thats too much work for me currently id rather have a dji because of all the features and like safetys and stuff. I wanna be able to do acro like the true fpv drones which do you think is better for like just stuaghr acro ajd freestyle and flips iver stuff and things like that

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Avata 2 is more designed for newbies

[@ISpeedSeven]

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You are exactly the person the AVATA 2 was made for... people with zero skills.

Best beginners guide I've seen. Answered all the questions I still had after watching many other 'beginners guides'. Well done and keep up the good work.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you! I appreciate the support.

[@Seekerfilms]

One thing I hadn't counted on was the motion sickness when using my Avata 2...!! Something to work through:)

[@redmaxxnews2414]

Yo Captain Drone! You can use the dot with the motion controller to access and manipulate menu controls. That little bit of play in the trigger before you feel tension is how you select. Then just aim the dot off the menu and select again and the menu disappears… so like when you were selecting head tracking, you do it with the motion controller so you don’t have the aircraft spinning around

[@MelinsRCTech]

When flying indoor can't you just enable the beginner mode? The mode thats enabled out of the box for first flight. That way you dont need to do any changes in normal mode meny?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Beginner mode would work for some. For others they will need to modify the gains to achieve the desired effect

[@cheekyoscar1353]

you mentioned you have to activate it with the USB to USB cable and mobile , but my iphone is Lightning cable . does it come with a USB to lightning ??? or can I activate it through Wi-Fi . thanks 🙏

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Lots of people are in your situation and they all figured it out. Use your own cable. You will figure it out quickly. DJI does not include the lighting cable.

[@grege2383]

Great video, very informative. I just got the fly more combo and just ordered the controller 3. I'm use to shooting tight gaps with my Meteor75 so flying this will be interesting

[@andymontejo4334]

Thank you for another video that is spot with all the info you need and none of the unnecessary fluff. I am a cameraman and 107 pilot that is looking to try fpv. I have stayed away from DJI for many years because of the painful process of unlocking the geofencing in order to fly. Since the Avata 2 is mainly for fpv, does it have the same unlocking issues? Has DJI streamlined the unlocking process? This may be something you could include if you do an Avata 2 follow up video. Thanks again for the great content.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It is identical to a MAVIC. Since it has a built in GPS it won’t let you fly in certain restricted areas.

[@frankc.9853]

I have a quick question... Does your Avata 2 video split into another clip after 3:30 mark or so? I shoot in 4K 60 and was told that it may be why this happens. Your thoughts?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

All DJI Drones create multiple clips if you exceed 3 to 5 min of video. It has been that way since 2013. The reason is because if you crash and the video is corrupted, you only lose the last 3 to 5 min of your flight video.

[@frankc.9853]

Thanks for responding! I never noticed that with my Mavic 3 Pro. Hmm I will have to check it out this week.

[@ParadiseByAir]

Hi I use the dji fpv for fast Landscape videos and wanted the avata 2 for some fast cruising in woods and were there obstacles but I would hate to go hiking and carrying the v2 googles and remote controller 2 do you think the googles 3 and remote controller 3 will ever be backwards compatible with the dji fpv???

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Probably. It may take a year though for DJI to put out such a firmware update.

[@benwhite5848]

merry Christmas from Australia, thanks for this great intro tutorial video, today i finally bought the Avata 2 fly more after watching your videos about it and more, my first question is will a 45w Samsung fast charger be suitable for charging the 3 batteries temporarily in their bank assuming slow charge times, would it be a missive difference be in time going to a 65w or 100w+ charger. secondly I'm looking at taking it out tomorrow for the first time winds in the 20 -25km/h range are expected for this drone would it be suitable for a first flight I'm not to sure as some say in slight wind it tilts quite abit.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The winds won’t be a major issue. 65 watts is better than 45 watts. If the charger can take more watts, it will request it. Try it with 45 watts and if you find charging is much to slow, then jump up to something with more output.

[@benwhite5848]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks I ended up with a 65w charger seems to work quite well now much faster then before next issue I have is the drone saying "connect to dji fly outdoors" is their an easy fix to solve this issue.

Hi there new drone guy here, I recently bought both a Cletus X and avata 2, I thought that I would learn proper fpv and also have the avata so I enjoy flying while I learn proper fpv. Wonder if you suggest me to learn fpv on the Cletus or should I try sticking with the avata and return the Cletus? I want to get the physical reflexes and not sure if the avata is going to spoil me, WDYT?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The Avata 2 has both NORMAL and SPORT Modes which are BEGINNER Flight modes. Those modes do not exist in the real FPV hobby. Nor does that silly motion controller. Depending on which CETUS you purchased, you may be stuck with BEGINNER Flight modes as well.

[@davelightfoot2913]

Hey there captain drone. You are my favourite UAV KZbinr. And not because you are a Canuck. Yes I love that you are a fellow Commonwealth Brother and use the correct form of unit measurement like we do in Australia and the rest of the Commonwealth.... metric! Lol, it's funny and unfortunate you have to convert metres to feet for the imperial Yanks viewing. And just to let you Americans know, "Yank" is a general term for Americans used by Brits from the motherland/ Australians/ New Zealanders and I believe Canucks (Canadians) use the term as well. So Commonwealth nations. So thank you for your amazing and highly detailed work! 🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🇦🇺🇬🇧🇦🇺🪃

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Ha ha, yup sometimes I do receive comments from a few people asking me why in the world would I list distance and speed in METRIC and not IMPERIAL. You can guess which citizens send such comments. In Canada we call our neighbours to the south of us “Americans” (we’ve never used the term “Yanks”, also a term popularized in many war movies). Since I’m an old guy, when I was a kid, the IMPERIAL system was our unit of measurement. Then, still as a kid, it changed to METRIC, but many of the older generation at that time didn’t wish to change. So many people my age grew up with both IMPERIAL and METRIC. My children are all 100% METRIC and get confused if I speak in IMPERIAL… unless it comes to cooking ingredients (strangely still often IMPERIAL).

[@CÆSSIUS32]

@CAPTAINDRONE798 haha okay then. Well it's like Canuck, it's a term of fellow comradeship and endearment to call Canadians from our view. Yanks is just a general term we use here in Australia mainly because the motherland also does. Wow, well Australia changed from Imperial to metric in the late 60's. That's why the road speel.limit signs here are a red circle black number on a.rectangulad white background. As the workers could than simply post the new Kilometre limit over the old Mph limit and looks the same. Well in Australia is was the same thing. Our ties to the motherland being the main issue. So I absolutely love the metric system. The fact it's simplified like 9mm and not imperial 3/16th etc is the best. It's so funny watching Americans listening to Commonwealth people and our use of metric. When they can't compute the equal measurement in imperial. I mean how can you not love the fact that 1 tonne is 1000 kilograms and you just carry the zeros to keep going up or down. Funnily enough I've noticed more and more yanks (Americans) using metric. But they spell one unit of measurement incorrectly. They write METERS but in fact here in Australia we use British English and it's spelt METRES. 😆 I think most military personnel from the US can easily use metric. As NATO is literally all metric apart from some aspects of like in the motherland 🇬🇧. Where in sure in the near future, they will also adopt the metric measurement system for their roads. Going from MPH to KMPH. One aspect that a lot of people pushed back against here in the early seventies was making the Australian currency decimal. Going from Australian Pounds to Australian Dollars. The only aspect of imperial measurement that I like. That's interesting that in Canada, that the Imperial measurement metod for cooking/ food etc is not yet metric. Here its completely metric. Except for the baby boomers who still say Feet and Quid (Pounds) instead of metres and dollars. Maybe a lot of the ingredients you are cooking with are imported from the US, or they are exported and have to be in imperial for the US? Funny how Americans don't even realise they are using metric. With the 9mm pistol cartridges and other things like Grams etc. Are you a Quebecois? Noticed you visiting your beautiful father and family there. Unless you are Anglo and just always lived in Quebec? I love making Canadian Cesar drinks. Andi get the original clamato to make them 😊 Another thing we love about our fellow Canadian Commonwealth brothers is your contribution to society with the epic and underrated show that is LETTERKENNY. It's played free-to-air here. Oh and I have relatives that live on Vancouver island. I absolutely love Vancouver and Seattle. The pacific northwest is so underrated. Especially the greater BC area. I can assume by your Ontario LIcence plates that you live in Greater TORONTO? just an educated guess lol. Or maybe you live in London Ontario. Lol.

@ WOW! That was plenty of typing! Your KZbin account name is written in a less than common type of characters. What is that exactly?

Almost 32 min I'm sitting and learning. Even though not a fan of dji only thing I have is the goggles v2 .

Steve, great and informative info especially for beginners .. However, you did emphasize the ease for beginners and how quickly they could be doing real estate ... You probably know what i am going to say.. They can not do real estate until they are FAA 107 certified.. I hope you point this out in a future video... Otherwise a lot of people might think they can start a side business and they cannot... I am not a negative person but you did repeat the real estate angle many times and for the safety of those involved I wanted to drop you a note.. If I could have done so in private, i would have... Keep up the good work... Joe

Thank you so much for sharing and explaining all the features of Avata 2. I just got my Avata 2 last week but unfortunately have not flown it much because of the weather conditions in where I live. But after watching your video, I'm gonna practice indoors for now. Thanks to you! 🙂

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Glad I could help!

[@Mudcase]

Can you charge the goggles while flying or use an external power bank? 3 hours isn’t always enough

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You can plug in external power to the USB C

[@dronepro53]

I wear progressive spec or multifocal spec. Can it fit inside the goggle

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Not really. The goggles are not designed for glasses.

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 i like to buy this drone but the goggle diopter is out of my spec range.

[@hummerzdca]

Man oh man! What a lot of information! I just got Avata 2 this week, haven’t unboxed yet until I can sit and watch more to help me get started. Flying my Mini 3 and Mini 4 Pro have been a lot, and looking forward to trying the goggles/motion controller with it first before the Avata 2 around the house. (Been too windy out anyway) Spoiled with the obstacles avoidance of the 4 Pro I guess. Thanks for the posts!🇺🇸

[@hummerzdca]

I’ve watched this perhaps 5 times…I still wish someone would have an info post about the number cycles a battery is expected life cycle before you have to replace it. Any ideas?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Minimum cycles would be 500. After that you’ll start to notice less charge capacity.

[@K92010]

Question is one battery enough? For a 13 yr old spending a 1000 dollars on a drone already a lot i was just wondering if i could save a couple bucks there

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Definitely not

[@coulsdonplasterer4380]

Thanks for yet another great video. Quick question does the controller record sound or is it the drone. Personally prefer when the drone does?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Drones don't record sound because guess what you would hear.... BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. The controller does not record sound either.

[@coulsdonplasterer4380]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks for the info. I am sure the old DJI spark did, saying that it might have been my first drone the husban . Thanks for you videos love them.

Hi Cap. just saying thx to you and Nikki for the stickers I just received them today thx again I LOVE them

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Wow! You just received the stickers we sent out last December? What country do you live in?

[@mhmphotography400]

Do you find flying in manual mode with the controller 3 is like flying an R/C plane.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Not really. RC planes can be flown with only the right joystick and very little skill. Flying a drone in ACRO mode means you need two hands and synchronize coordination.

[@mhmphotography400]

Thank you ……. I have many years flying R/C planes and Mavic drones. I bought the Avata 2 along with the remote controller 3. This will be my first FPV done… do you recommend starting with the R/C motion controller or the remote controller 3 ? I’ll be flying in normal and sports mode until I get comfortable before switching to manual mode.

[@willcountydrone2022]

Does anyone have the settings for indoor flying with the stick controller? I seen how the motion controller got dialed in but I am wanting to slow the stick controller. Ty

[@hiluxmonstertruckgleno6276]

I like to fly line of sight Is it possible to fly avata 2 with n3 goggles and rc3 controller 3 and connect mobile phone to goggles ?
