Frankly the value with the Avata 2 is off the charts. You get a camera that will go toe to toe with GoPro, very good digital stabilization, long flight time (for FPV), the best transmission system, very good goggles, head tracking and a decent motion controller for the cost of an entry point into basically any FPV kit. I understand that its DJI and comes with their rules & limitations, but dang they make a great value proposition if you just want to get out and fly and not build/tinker.

I started flying RC in 2011, and waited 12 years to start FPV. (because I like to start with the less fun experience and work my way up). The last two months I was finally gonna get in to FPV, started doing research. Ordered the 03 unit to start converting some of my planes to FPV. Then I got the betafpv aquilla 16 as a training drone. Then they release the avata 2! It was a no brainer. I picked the absolute best time to get in to FPV! Today I am picking up my avata 2 after having flown the Aquilla 16 for a week now. It's gonna be AMAZING! Yes the DJI restrictions will be annoying as fuck, but like you said ... all of this for about a 1000 euros? Not to long ago they told me if I build something with all these capabilities, headtracking, gps, return to home, etc etc. They said it would cost at least 3000 dollars. And now I am getting all of this for a 1000 euros and I don't risk fucking things up by having to sodder. This avata 2 is gonna bring more people in to FPV then ever before, mark my words!

As a big fan of avata 1, I just ordered the avata 2. It is like with the dji mini 3 to dji mini4 upgrade. The specs do not change much but overall, products just get better. It is also good when flying a drone a lot to refresh the battteries after all these many flights. I expect the avata 2 with the new googles to have a better range. I had never upgraded the firmware of the avata 1 googles because after that, I would had been required to tether it with the phone which is annoying. Now, with the avata 2, remote ID is built in so that no phone tetheringwill be necessary.

Frankly, I didn't spend time on that because at this point, they are not compatible at all with any existing air unit etc. So there is zero reason for an owner of the g2, Integra, or v2 to upgrade. The only reason to buy the G3 is to use it with the Avata 2. It's the only goggle you can use with the Avata 2. So there's no reason to compare it's specs until that changes. It just is what it is. The video was already 40 minutes long and I had to decide what to leave out. When compatibility ooooens up and the G3 can be bought separately, I'll cover that on a dedicated video.

Hey Joshua, C1 means that the Drone is certified to be flown by Pilots with the „small drone license“ C1. It must have a valid UAS-User-ID on a small and fireproof plate that has to be installed on the outside, even though it has to be saved to the software that the drone is running! Next thing: the pilot needs an insurance, that would be responsible if you were causing any kind of damage with that drone. This is obligatory to all drones that are having a weight between 250-900 grams. Since the new drone EU drone regulation of 2021, most quads fell under the transitional regulations of this new law, but from 01. January 2024 it is causing obligation to be conform with the law, based on the weight of the drone. The UAS-operator-ID, which I talked about is an ID, that is assigned by the aviation authority of the corresponding country, where the pilot is from. It is free to get the EU drone proof of competence and only needs success in a test which includes a couple of questions about handling drones and flying safely in combination with the regulations of distance to houses, aircraft’s etc. The document is valid for five years! I hope that I have expressed myself clearly enough and that it is now somewhat clear to you what the drone regulations look like in the EU. Regards, Alex

But the fact that you can switch to a more automatic and "stable" flight mode would have saved me so much when I just started learning how to fly and I kept crashing into the ground after losing orientation. I've spent so much money in the beginning on replacement parts/drones that buying this would have actually be much much cheaper. Amazing how far we came, from basically cringing every time someone confused my FPV drones with a DJI, to the point where I'll actively recommend people who are new to this hobby to buy a DJI drone first.

First of huge thanks for all your content! I have a question and I am not sure if this reaches you or will you have time to answer. I have 60+ hours in simulators and feel very comfortable in acro, gaps tricks anything. Training daily for 1-2h. I bought my first fpv the avata 2 with full combo. Now it supports o3 units. Had my first flights, almost the same as in sims so on my first flight I was already cruising and hitting gaps and the footage looks very good. What I noticed was that the drones I am used to in Liftoff had more punch and in general were way more responsive. Maybe for a ciniwhoop this is a good option but in my first power loop I couldn’t dive out closer to the ground as I did in sims. So I am looking into geprc mark 5 v2 dc hd o3 with GPS. I am trying to decide should I leave the avata and get mark 5 as a new drone or should I return my avata (14 days haven’t passed) and just stick to normal drones. Fro. The money side I think I can manage having both but afraid that I will stop flying the avata 2 after trying mark 5 v2. Your thoughts will mean a world to me. Thanks PS: I am interested in be arming a cinematic fpv pilot with freestyle elements that I love doing in sims. But not hard core freestyler.

Been using the original DJI FPV system since it came out and I’m finally in the mood to upgrade. I changed over my original V1 goggles to the V2 goggles I had from the original DJI FPV drone and couldn’t believe how much better they worked with the original air units. That’s why I thought maybe it might be time to upgrade. It’s been a good 5 years or so. Anyways - hopefully this isn’t too stupid of a question. Looks like the Goggles 2 are still compatible with the original air units… correct? I think I read that right. I’m liking the features of the goggles 3 and was going to get those, but I don’t see them as being compatible with the original air units - or at least I don’t see it on the compatibility list on DJI. Do you all think the goggles 3 will be compatible eventually with the original air units or do I have to bite the bullet and get those O3 air units?
@JoshuaBardwell8 ай бұрын
It's impossible to know for sure. If I were a gambling man, I would bet that the G3 gets O3 backwards compatibility, but not Vista/Link generation compatibility.

@@JoshuaBardwell thank you for the answer Joshua. Love your channel, BTW. Really got me into FPV and 3D printing. I think I may go the route of DJI’s Goggles 2 so I don’t have to sell all of my gen 1 air units and vistas.

I like the idea of the forhead contact point. I really don't like how most goggle SMASH into your face and you end up carrying weight on your nose or have to have a third band on top of your head to adjust. I have not of course tried it in person, but it seems like a good idea.

the "rear proximity cams" ive heard are more for help with the lidar in low light non gps situations. I also seen a glitch where it will sometimes swap over to FPV mode without telling you in low light non-gps situations... so watch out lol

Dji Avata 1 had T mounts as well. Love the new USB port placement, and definitely that goggle strap should allow you to flip the goggles up when you don’t have them on your eyes, something I really hate about my goggles 2 is them getting foggy when I wear them on top of my head, even while wearing a 🧢. Great review bro, as someone who knows how to build my own drones, I would definitely not spend the money on the Avata 2, but for everyone learning, this drone is gold! 🤘🏽

There is a possibility that the cameras in the front are also used for the head tracking, so is not drifting over time since it is IMU based. A lot of VR/AR goggles do that for head tracking so why not also DJI

DJI: if you would like one of our DRONES, pay us $1000+ so we can quickly make your DRONE obsolete by introducing your DRONE’s successor which will not be compatible with your controller, headset, battery, nor any other accessories on which you have spent $thousands.

Sweet mate. I've had Avata 1 from release.. love it.. built FpV for 10 years.. 1 very important note with the Head Tracking... If the drone goes out of whack.. as mine did a 180 orientation whilst over a 70m waterfall... HIT THE STOP BUTTON. I had to steer the drone backwards and crash it into scrub. And luckily it was retreavable 3ft from the cliff edge. May have been interference with a lot of metal walkway construction... not sure..but I sure did shit my pants.

19:20 I wish DJI would allow using the C2 for gimbal pre-adjustments. It's either going all the way up or down. :( It would've been especially useful in M mode where I just want to suddenly fly slower or in reverse. Currently, all the way up or down is almost useless. Thanks for covering this part, it was hard to find any other video that covers it as much as you do! excellent video!
