DJI Avata 2 | Loss of signal and crash (4k)

Quick field flyby edit, tried the DJI Lightcut app to auto edit the footage

Very nice video. I liked. Even the crash. rsss.

[@xredzzofficial]

when the drone loses its signal, shouldn't it stop and go into hovering or return to home?

[@camperanddroneguy]

Yes it should and it has lots of times for, but it does take a second or two to engage. My last input was full throttle and down.. Ooops

[@Iron_Pan]

Do you know why it lost signal? Were you too far or behind an obstacle?

[@camperanddroneguy]

Hi, Bit of both I think. I was behind trees and the land was a lot lower than I was.

@@camperanddroneguy i'm thinking of getting one, could you please clarify how far "far" was? Cause i want to buy one and get some shots in fjords etc. and I don't want to be taking risks, thanks!

​@@SP-bq4mi Hi. That's such a hard question to answer and depends on where you live too due to the signal strength output you will get. But I can sometimes be 100 meters away, behind trees and lose signal, sometimes I can get 500 meters away in a similar location. Diving between mountains is always going to test the signal strength as I lost my Avata when in Ben Nevis. It all comes down to experience and learning from your mistakes and knowing how far you can push it. Get one - They are great and have the features that will minimise your failures, RTH etc. You'll crash, I can guarantee it. But that's part of the fun in the experience. Risks... Yep... There's lots
