DJI AVATA 2 CE MODE TOP SPEED TEST (MOTION CONTROLLER + MANUAL)

I decided to test the top speed of my CE DJI Avata using the latest firmware and without any FCC mode enabled, quite surprised!

Great video. Thank you. I just received mine today. I can't wait for the weekend.

[@bikobii]

You quick that was a great save

[@Joro379]

Awesome video, you are helping a lot of people with those useful videos. I will test it out in Bulgaria tomorrow and post an update.

[@andykirby]

Thank you, That'll be useful thanks!

[@lauriL90]

Bulgaria is EU, speed is limited by gps. If you take your drone outside from EU, it will go faster.

[@Joro379]

@@andykirby Update: So it turns out Manual mode is not what I expected exactly and I crashed my drone the second I switched to manual. Thankfully the drone seems fine even though the goggles said I have broken a propeller. I will train in simulator before I post a proper video of the top speed in Bulgaria (EU). I know that by the looks of it there is a high chance that its limited, however I still have some hope as I havent yet seen an actual video that proves it (there is one guy on DJI forum but I dont understand the language he speaks). Also it is very weird for me that DJI enforced the speed limit only in EU, while leaving the UK with a CE drone but no speed limit, which doe not make much sense, as from what I read there is the same legal speed limit for C1 drones in UK.

Good test Andy

[@JakeM218]

Great to see the U.K. doesn’t get the 40mph EU speed limit!!

[@KK-ol5ov]

They now implemented speed limited also 😢

[@JakeM218]

@@KK-ol5ov EU or U.K.?

[@jeroenvdw]

@@JakeM218 UK is Europe but doesn't get the restrictions

[@JakeM218]

@@jeroenvdw The UK had Brexit and left the EU, so we don’t have this new drone speed limit restriction. Looks like the EU versions are limited to 70km/h but in England it’s possible to get 100km/h+ I’m not sure if England physically gets different software, or whether the same drone on holiday in say France would recognise its in the EU and reduce the speed down. Andy might have to book a holiday to test this theory! 😂

[@KK-ol5ov]

@@JakeM218 there is always some new restriction, distance and now even speed limits. Soon we will only be able to fly virtually.

Hi Andy, any idea how I can get out of AUTO mode? I am located in the Netherlands.

[@RobinDrones]

Wow at 7mins you saved that pretty darn quick! 👏

[@FAQUERETERMAX]

I'm so sad the 2nd version of the avata also does this. They didn't even bother to fix it

[@RobinDrones]

@@FAQUERETERMAX Probably not an easy fix, slow down the max yaw speed but no one would want that.

[@FAQUERETERMAX]

@RobinDrones not an easy fix? No fvp drone in the market does that lol

[@ryanrhart]

​@@FAQUERETERMAXyup! Not even the most skilled of pilots can do it perfectly every time. However, it is possible.

[@jonfeasby2589]

So does anyone know what the top speed is in FCC mode with the motion controller? Is it possible with sport mode to hit 60mph?

[@blakeedition2903]

Where do you fly ??

Andy I love this avata and the channel is so cool on every content What’s that track andy on end of video ❤

[@andykirby]

Thanks for that, appreciate it. The track is called Intrasente and it's on my compilation😊 www.cloudsto.com/store/music-1/off-the-beaten-track-andy-kirby-detail.html

[@LowryDroneography-Steve]

Yeah man the motion operates the drone at the same speed as the RC3 would in Normal or Sport I think. Then 60mph or thereabouts in Manual. Therefore, no sign of speed limit in UK.

[@FPV-TV419]

Great testing mate. Wow.. it didn't like the left turn from flat out... I even watched it twice to see if you accidentally knocked it into N mode. But you didn't! But... although it did it. The avata didn't flip or drop altitude uncontrollably like the avata 1. Think people have to remember this is marketed as a cinematic drone and dji flight controllers are likely super fine tuned for efficiency and safety. So may be susceptible to some strange things under extreme circumstances

[@andykirby]

Thanks mate, I think you are bang on. It's not really designed for that sort of madness and stick banging! Yeah it did go into normal you are right. I'm sure I've also seen a warning when setting up the drone to not aggressively turn, did you see that?

[@FPV-TV419]

​@andykirby yea I did see that warning mate! But I wasn't surprised when I saw it tbh. I think for a cinewhoop ,on the whole it flies fantastic!

[@trekrich28]

I wonder if you could trip speed camera's with it!

[@andykirby]

Ha! That would be fun!

[@bodeksrc8007]

[@jbholland1987]

Andy Kirby, can you help me out? i have a dji mini 3 pro, but i want shots like the avata. Like fpv shots. but i do have a very weak balance system and i get sick pretty fast. is it worth to buy the avata 2? to shoot ''easy'' fpv shots whitout getting sick ish?

[@judeabrigo278]

try flying fpv while sitting down. Some people including me is feeling nausea when flying FPV standing

[@andykirby]

Yeah it all depends on the individual. The more you do it though our brain should get used to it. You can fly the MINI 3 Pro with the motion controller 2 and Goggles 2 and you'll get a similar effect to the shots you'd get with the Avata, be warned the MINI 3 will not tolerate any crash though 😁

[@jbholland1987]

@@andykirby can you make the mini 3 pro in a fpv''ísh '' drone with the motion controller?

[@jbholland1987]

@@judeabrigo278 thanks !! i keep that in mind in the future !

[@ryanrhart]

I'm so grateful not to ever have this problem. You could take a harmless over the counter motion sickness pill before? You shouldn't be feeling what's the word I'm looking for...any sort of false sense of movement like you would in a virtual reality in a headset. For example in a VR environment (which fov is not). If you jump off a roof or a cliff your mind will be tricked to feel like you're actually falling or moving. FPV, I've never heard of anyone getting motion sick from. I have two super close friends who have motion sickness severely And they can fly an fpv with no issue. Other than over the counter motion sickness pills, you could try sitting while flying? Good luck!

[@xatamoto]

Hi, do you need some operator or Flyer license on this drone? Are there any restrictions on flight altitude and range?

[@cipri198zero]

Its over 250g so yes

[@xatamoto]

@@cipri198zerothan on dji mini 4 pro I don’t need any license? But it’s have camera. Operator license needed or not?

[@cipri198zero]

@@xatamoto I have the DJI Mini 3 Pro, and the Avata 2. The Mini only needs to be registered. But Avata not only that needs to be registered but you also need to obtain the flyer ID because Avata falls into different category and also have more restrictions we need to be aware of. I guess what they want from us is to make sure we know what we’re doing… in UK while flying fpv drones we also need a spotter because drone needs to be in the visual at all times which seems stupid. I think in some EU countries is even worse with the restrictions ( less altitude, less speed and some approvals because of the camera )

[@xatamoto]

@@cipri198zerothank you for your answer, okay for avata 2 need flyer id , both must be registered ( mini and avata) but you sure that we don’t need that operator id? What buy some drone but this rules 😂 crazy

Great test andy as far as that yaw spin I personally think this little cinewhoop isn't designed for flat out speeds then agreeesive yaws the internal sensors are obviously not happy about it low and cinemtaic flying forest gaps etc and property fly through i think that's it's market im close to getting one just waiting on you early testers lol to iron out the kinks ha ha😅keep up the good work

[@nirvana2197]

It def drops a bit, the wind seems to make the affects of the drop even worse possibly?

[@mcmediaandfilm]

Edit I've now ordered one lol 😂

[@saintkenny9296]

I don't get why you just get it up to top speed and drop out so fast? You don't seem to get yourself more space so you can see what top speed in manual mode it actually ends up holding. On the Motion Controller I was maxing out at 38 mph with the wind. It's been stupid hard for a long while now finding a day where it Hell, I'll find out tomorrow when I get my Controller 3.

[@rotormasher]

Are you saying that in manual it's faster!? And can't fly manual with the joystick? Cheers

Yes that's what I'm seeing here.

Have you used one of your drones to experiment with Meshtastic? I get a few nodes lately because an airplane flying over is repeating.

[@andykirby]

Yes I have, you need a lot more height than is allowed with a drone. You'll probably cover 5-10 miles max from about 400ft.

[@CarbonIcarusFPV]

So sad to see that 'Yaw Tumble' ..I thought they had truly fixed it in the Avata 2. That's terrible, and the most important catch in this video, I think. I've not seen it from anybody else yet.

[@did3d523]

wind in back ! with hack Ham I dont go more 82kmh (without wind) in France

[@jeroenvdw]

I want to like this drone so I can buy it, but the speed limit on the motion controller sucks, the glitch when turning sucks, speed limit in the EU so it's top speed matches the Mini 3/4 sucks. I hope they'll fix the issues and sell a fly more combo with the normal controller soon.

[@judeabrigo278]

Avata 2 is marketed towards people who are into cine whoop style of flying where they focus more on steady slow shots

[@jeroenvdw]

@judeabrigo278 well its speed is limited in the EU so yes it's slow but it could've been faster. It's only fast outside of the EU
