DJI Avata 2 first flight over water... what could possibly go wrong.

[@ggdfggdfgdffgfddg34]

Hello! Great video, it must be so difficult to fly a drone! I read about your idea to use the Guro Floy program to stabilize the Nikon Z8 and I just had one question: should I turn off stabilization in the Z8. The idea is just to attach the action camera to the Z8 and then create a Z8 lens profile in the program, align the stabilization on the scale and you’re done. But does the stub in the camera interfere or not, that is the question?

Drones can be tricky alright, especially when you want to fly near objects at speed. Stabailization in the camera has to be off. Gyro Flow works wonders at stabalizing video once it has the stabalization data.

I think it's great how you convey the enthusiasm. I've been flying drones for a long time and am totally enthusiastic about some of the features of the avata 2. I also ordered the remote control 3 and initially judged the motion controller that came with it negatively. That has changed fundamentally - it's a great innovation and addition to the normal controller. The soft motorbike-like flying isn't as fantastic in either normal mode or manual mode of the normal controller! Especially in manual mode, this dynamic motion controller flying, which is similar to natural flying, doesn't come anywhere close to that. I see manual flying more as a sporting discipline and for special shots for example such as diving. Greetings from Germany peter neumeyer

Hi Peter, Tahnks for the kind words and sorry about the delayed reply, I was away on holidays for the last week and your comment slipped through unnoticed. Since I posted the video I have slightly changed my opionion on the motion corttroller and I get it a bit more now but the level of control with the normal controller I still find is just that bit better but then again that's also what I am used to using also. I haven't really tried fully manual yet as I am farily sure I will right off the Avata 2 if I do :-) I am trying to keep the controls roughly the same between my Mavis 3 and Avata so I hopefully won't do sometrhing stupid then :-)

@@kieranhayesphotography Thankyou for your comment and the information greetings peter

I thought it looked great. (just needed less harsh light)

[@kieranhayesphotography]

Thanks Leon, It was really harsh that day alright, I also didn't have ND filters at the time so my shutterspeed was way off. Hopefully it will look better when or if I get back there again.

Hello, do you think that liftoff is quite similar to real life or not? I´m still on the sim and i´m looking to buy the parts for the drone, but i´m afraid my skills on the sim don´t translate to real life. I have a video of my first week if you wanna check it out :)

[@kieranhayesphotography]

Hi, I honestly havn't tried it I have used Uncrashed a few times but then again I am not flying the drone in Manual mode only sports mode so far.
