That was amazing, great stick skills! Stevy. I couldn't even tell it was fighting the wind. Still outstanding for a cinewhoop.

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Thank you Al. It was a challenge. A lot of clips didn’t make the cut because the wind jeopardized the shot. I flew a few batteries to get that highlight footage together. I’ll tell you this, the Avata 2 from stop to go is faster than the original Avata. It’s the reason I was able to salvage this video. I don’t think the original Avata could fight the wind and stay within frame as much as I was able to with the A2.

[@DroneBum]

Wind wasnt atcall noticable..you were in complete harmony with those yellow cars @2:55...great work Mr Bronx 👍

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Thanks Paul. I felt forced to be less aggressive on the sticks but I kept flying. I figured if I could keep the framing interesting, I could pull off some great pictures from the video. I noticed that it wasn't as bad as I remembered seeing in the goggles during the editing process. I definitely could have done better in less wind tho. Thanks again!

[@DroneBum]

@CaptureLifeConnection I guess footage from the on board unit is stabilized like on the dji fpv? I remember being very unhappy with the wonky goggle footage from that potato

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

@@DroneBum Yeah, exactly. There is definitely more wonkiness in the goggles. I wasn’t sure at the time if I had enough good clips to make a video.

[@MaconDrones]

This was an AWESOME video. As windy as it was you did an amazing job. I’m new to FPV flying and I hope I can fly that good one day.

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Wow, thank you. I really appreciate it. I had an advantage tho. I’ve been flying this track for a few years now. I know it quite well. And… A lot of shots didn’t make the video 😆. The struggle was real. ✌️😎

[@LensCaptureOnline]

Regardless of the wind, your coverage was amazing Stevy!

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Thank you Tom. Another lesson learned.

[@theguywiththedrone123]

This is amazing bro

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

@@theguywiththedrone123 Thank you! 🙏

[@Quads-n-Tech]

Sweet Stevy

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@droningwithjamie]

Awesome video pal 👍🏽

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Thank you 🙏! I appreciate the support.

[@jburddrone7202]

Nice job Stevy!!

[@achangedyou1343]

I just bought my Dji Avata 2!! Coming from the DJI FPV. Unfortunately that drone crashed the 2nd time I flew it lol. Just ordered the Freewell ND Filter set kit for this drone as well! I also bought the DJI Air 3! Nice drone footage bro!

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Thank you! I’m waiting for my Freewell ND filters. I should have them soon. I really wish I had them before filming this video. The shutter speed was too fast and everything looked too sharp. I rather have that motion blur. I wish the DJI FPV had a better camera. It’s so fast, absolutely perfect for drift car chasing. The Air 3 is also an excellent drone. My friend has been reviewing it since its release. You will not be disappointed. I really appreciate you stopping in 🙏. Thanks again.

[@TammieJean]

You got some awesome shots! And good honest reaction afterwards 👍👍

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Thank you Tammie. My goal is to always be straight forward with my audience. The review didn’t go according to plan so I was being very transparent about the situation. I hope all is well with you and I really appreciate you stopping in.

[@DroneBum]

Been waiting for this....brb watchin now

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

The struggle was real but I worked with what I captured. Just a heads up.

[@jimsdroneing]

great ripping stevy nice edit luv the footage

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Thank you Jim, your support is greatly appreciated.

[@InvincibleStormFilms]

You did awesome Stevy. Wind or no Wind. But you keeping it real was a touch above the Rest 💪🏾 💪🏾

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Thanks bro. A lot of shots didn’t make the cut due to the wind. The cars and the Avata 2 was drifting…lol 😆 I really appreciate you stopping in. Thanks again.

[@Jlehr1980]

Hey, nice shots even with fighting the wind! Good flying bro 😎 👍🏼

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Thank you! I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment. 🙏

[@Acesgeckos]

Straight fire !

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Thank you! 🙏 🙏🙏!

[@saintkenny9296]

I own both Avata drones and wind is not their friend by any means! Avata 2 in Manual Mode did much better in windy conditions than using the motion controller. Not sure how you fly, but the manual mode takes the win in the wind. Where I am located it's been rough finding nice calm days where the wind doesn't play a major factor. Those shots with that wind would have done much better with a Mavic 3 or even a Mini 3 Pro or Mini 4 Pro than with these Avata series drones. I am loving that Avata 2 so much more than the OG Avata in pretty much everything. Just wish the Avata 2 Camera had better horizon stability so in winds it still looked good and not all crooked due to wind messing up the shots.

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Thank you for watching and sharing your experience. Comments like this help me and others. I haven’t tried the new motion controller 3 yet but I tried the first one with the DJI FPV in the past. I was impressed. I’m not a motion controller type of guy tho. I prefer a regular controller. Manual mode is a beast but this wind was beyond bad. I’ve flown my original Avata in the wind before so I know what you talking about. Full manual mode makes a difference. That’s why when I saw the wind in the forecast the day before, I wasn’t concerned. The Avata 2 is more agile than the original Avata. Unfortunately, the gust was powerful and sporadic. Flying the drift track isn’t a straight run. I’m changing direction and maneuvering within the constant wind as well. I’m sure I can get better results and really focus on the flying experience with better weather conditions. I don’t need zero wind. Just not that craziness I was dealing with that day. I want to conduct a review based on the drone, not the outside elements. Thanks again 🙏🙏🙏. More videos coming soon.

[@MrEddieNunez]

Not sure how I missed this video, but great video bro. The camera quality looks so much better compared to the shots you’ve captured with the avata 1.

[@MrEddieNunez]

Also, yeah- windy days there isn’t a cinewhoop that will find success.

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

The camera quality was better but not having ND filters drove me crazy. The shutter speed was going way too high. I really wanted the motion blur. Things were way too sharp for me. Bro! That wind was shifting the drone like a foot with those strong gust 💨 💨💨. It was too sketchy to go top speed. The shots that made the cut were captured during those breaks between the gust. I was pushing through the constant wind which was also challenging. I could feel the resistance.

[@DronePsyche]

First!! I already know this is going to be good! 😂

[@DroneBum]

Yeah right?

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

I hope you enjoy.

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

@@DroneBum Who made it first????

[@DroneBum]

@CaptureLifeConnection I think we were at the same time but some techy nerd hacked the system to make him first🤣

[@jeffsond]

I really enjoyed the video. It looked good to me. Would you consider using the motion controller one time just to see how you can do with it ? I would appreciate it.

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Thank you! I haven’t used the motion controller for the Avata 2 yet. I’ve tried it with the DJI FPV in the past (the first motion controller). I was impressed. I’m up for the challenge though. Next time on the track, I will try the motion controller 3. I’ll start practicing soon. I will make sure I have an understanding of all the features before hitting the track. Stay tuned. ✌️😫

[@cyclonedronz7861]

you are mad skilled bro' wish i could fly like that... crazy that you didn't collide with the other drone??

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Thank you, i’m glad you enjoyed it. I fly along side some of the best Drone pilots in the country. I’m truly blessed.

[@jbandz551]

Definitely got some good shots cant notice the wind at all season opener was for sure a banger. Did you fly both days or just saturday?

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Thanks 🙏. I was only there Saturday.

[@michaelwblade]

Hell yeah 👍👍

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

I can’t front, I enjoyed filming this. Despite the fact that the weather wasn’t cooperating. I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment Michael 🙏🙏🙏.

[@BobCaseyAerial]

I think the A2 is more of a Cinematic Cinewhoop. But yo Stevy you got some great shots with some great maneuvers. Do you think it would be better in a no wind scenario at the track??

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Yeah, I tried not to be all over the place while flying, so the footage comes out more cinematic. Thank you Bob, it was a struggle. I kept trying though. Yes, I believe it would have been better. I could have really focused on the shot, not multitasking due to the constant pushing of the drone. I got better at dealing with the wind as the day progressed but I was never getting 100% out of the drone. Too much resistance.

[@23Firejet]

Hey man great video, just wondering why the footage looked blurry and over-sharpened compared to other Avata 2 videos Maybe it's because you were filming at higher frame rates? Also, great insight regarding the wind!

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Thanks, 🤷🏻‍♂️ not sure. I didn’t do much in post. I wasn’t pleased with it. Unfortunately, I didn’t have ND filters that day. I was forced to leave the shutter speed on auto. I much rather have motion blur. I usually dial-in my camera settings. Yeah, I wanted to be transparent for those in the market for a Avata 2. There is so much paid programming on KZbin. Not many sharing information based on real experience.

[@ride_drive_fly]

My avata1 is broken😢 but I am waiting for avata2 now. They haven’t got avata1 with integras in stock😅. The seller suggested this offer to me because it was insuranced…

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

The Avata 2 is an upgrade all around. Everything has been improved. The original Avata is a great drone but the Avata 2 is better in my opinion. It’s only the beginning of my reviews, more videos coming soon. I’ll be talking about the original Avata as well. I still bring it with me to drone sessions. And I purchased a really nice light kit for it. 🤩

[@TheRealAreone]

Doesn't it feel like every day's been a hurricane since the Avata 2 released?

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Yes, Exactly! This wasn’t a normal windy day. I should have titled this Hurricane Vs Avata 2… 😂

[@droningwithjamie]

Thanks for the review Steve I was going to buy tge advata 1 or 2 but I think I will stay with the original dji fpv potatoe think it's still the best plus winds i wish they stop making advata 1 2 and make 🥔 2 lol

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

It was my pleasure. I enjoyed filming this, despite the fact I was struggling with the wind. I always have a blast at the track. I also want a DJI FPV V2. I was disappointed when I heard that the higher-ups at DJI chose the Avata V2 over a FPV V2 a while back. The DJI FPV with a more sensible design and better camera would be insane. The same way they completely upgraded the Avata. I’ll be honest tho, I look forward to flying the DJI Avata 2. More so than when I first got my original Avata.

[@droningwithjamie]

@@CaptureLifeConnection absolutely 💯 Pal

[@DS-Log]

What rates did u used ?

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Great question. I haven’t changed the rates… Yet! Stock rates. My original Avata has the following: Roll center sensitivity: 70 max rate: 880 expo: 0.45 Pitch: center sensitivity: 70 max rate: 700 expo: 0.42 Yaw: center sensitivity: 70 max rate: 480 expo: 0.38 I believe my DJI FPV is the same. I can provide you the stock rates on the Avata 2 tomorrow. Let me know.

[@DS-Log]

@@CaptureLifeConnection great...so it's pretty responsive already with the stock one ^^ ( i just buyed it but didnt had time to fly yet...just spend last 2 months in to TRYfpv and Uncrashed ;) )
