DJI AVATA 2 .:. PRO FPV Ripping (Secret Rates + Setup + Upgrades)

[@brandon9689]

This thing is much better than some are giving it credit for. I don't regret my purchase. I wish I went straight for this instead of wasting money on an emax kit that was dead in a month with no support. DJI care lets me focus on flying. Even if I decide to build my own freestyle down the line I'll always have an amazing whoop on deck that I don't ever have to worry about fixing.

[@dronarchy]

totally agree with you. Buy smarter, not harder.

[@VliegKunstenaar]

What happens after 2 dji care refreshes? Can you buy extension or is it done after the next one?

[@cipi1965]

@@VliegKunstenaar you can extend until 3 years in theory

That's so obvious and smart that you changed C2 for "stop mottors". Before when things went south I always quick switched to Sport/Normal. Now I know what to do. Thank you.

Ah! Finally some good shots with Avata 2, I'm already passing your clip around, for all those who think Avata 2 is a falling tomato! Wanted to ask you about this: "HQ Custom Props DT2.9x2.7x3 more control due to lower pitch ✅ My new 3D printed cover for the top plate and battery bumper". I don't have Avata 1, so I don't have the original propeller screws, as you mention. I can find the propellers, but what do you mean by custom props? Where can I find 3D printing for the top plate and battery bumper? Thank you for the replies. Warm greetings from Italy! Subscribed to your Channel!

[@dronarchy]

Grazie fratello. This is why I call it custom props, because it's not design to fit the Avata2. These are slimmer and with lower pitch and won't lock on the bell holes. You must use shorter screws and fit them snug. The 3D top cover/bumper print file is still being tested, and will release the file for FREE once it can pass my nasty crash test.

[@andreachiuppi]

@@dronarchy Thank you very much! In the meantime, I'll order the propellers. Regarding the screws, obviously short ones, is the pitch the same as the classic M2 screws for 2.5-inch cinewhoops? I don't want to use the wrong pitch and ruin the threading. One last thing, forgive me if I'm bothering you, but if I don't ask you... Is the hole distance on the original Avata 2 propeller exactly the same as the one on the propellers you recommend?

[@MoeMoney-z1l]

What’s the difference between cine ripper and stuka rates ? What are you using one as opposed to the other four?

[@dronarchy]

the Stuka is for solid freestyle execution, while the other one is for soft n flowy tricks. Rates make a huge difference when you rip this heavy whoop.

[@Dominibo]

What is different between first and second settings in practice ? What give change rates

[@dronarchy]

@@Dominibo 650° for more control and getting used to the drone. 940° for fast and aggressive flights.

Nice flying. You notice the yaw spin outs when flying into prop wash? Had a close call this weekend, pretty bummed. Was hoping this would be fixed from the Avata 1.

[@dronarchy]

@@bdigital00 it's all cause by abrupt moves that the gyro cannot predict, but so far I have it undercontrol. If you fly normal whoops it never happens. It does a weird move when I do juicy flicks only

[@galambosigabriel653]

Hi brother, may I know plese what did you use to enlarge the external side of the screw holes for the 2.9x2.7x3 HQProps? I also got them but I noticed that the holes are not aligned, the external side of both holes would need to be enlarged a little to make the screws fit straight. Otherwise I could use a drill a bit bigger than the hole but that would make the whole hole bigger and not only near the edges where it need the extra space. Thanks!

[@froehlich_jan]

Nice vid, thanks! What camera angle do you use??

[@dronarchy]

@@froehlich_jan been using 25° 👍

[@dannomight1980]

I just got the Avata 2 a a few days ago as my first real drop aside from a cheap holy stone cross from amazon a few years ago. It soooo much fun just using the motion controller. (Eventually I'll get the FPV controller lol) But I do notice it makes a flutter noise when making a sharp turn that sound similar to waste gate flutter on a turbocharged car with no blow off valve but does not appear to be physically shaking (camera is in rocksteady mode). Could be because I let off the throttle a bit too much towards the end of the turn? I am new to this and being cautious. For now that is. You got some skillllz putting on a display of what the Avata 2 can do! Subscribed!!

[@dronarchy]

Thanks Dan. That is called prop wash and also happens on regular fpv freestyle drones. Take a more elliptical approach to your throttle or yaw move, and that should take care of that problem. Practice and enjoy!

[@NBSTL68]

This is my 1st drone and after about 3 batteries of use I can do some of this kind of stuff with just the motion 3 controller, which is amazing. Some day I'll buy and figure out the sticks but just excited about how daring I can get with the motion 3 and not destroy this thing! I am sure to crash hard at some point though. I see you have some kind of protective plate on the top and maybe the bottom too. No gimbal guards? I am looking at those too but like everything on the web, I see, "must get these!!" and also, "never used these!!" for the same addons. I found and ordered the rib riders but what else do you recommend adding for protection? Thoughts on some of the landing skid add-ons out there?

[@dronarchy]

@@NBSTL68 true, so many influetards selling you stuff that doesn't work or that you actually need. The bumpers is a must. ND filters are optional. Go out and enjoy FPV.

[@Hellmuthsilva]

Do I need to change the props to use those rates?

[@dronarchy]

@@Hellmuthsilva rates are personal taste for drone rotational speed. Use any props you like.

very nice flight mate, I'm happy to see that's possible to make a trippy spin with it ! I will try

[@dronarchy]

just watch your throttle control while performing it. Will be higher than normal fpv drones. Send it!

[@hons_99]

very nice! did you ever have the problem when in manual mode that in a sharp turn it suddenly gets uncontrollable? like the avata 1 did, when you take to sharp turn it will fall to the ground

[@dronarchy]

Not at all. If I make a jerky move with the sticks, then it will obviously show. Notice that the first 2 rolls I made that mistake.

[@hons_99]

yes your flying looks unreal for an avata! did not know it was capable of that. very nice, i will try your settings

[@dylancleveland]

Gonna try your rates cause I'm still getting the tumbles. not terrible but just a little shake when I try to turn tight. Might try the props too. I saw a comment before that certain screws will break the motors? do I need to find diff screws to use those props or what's the story there?

[@dronarchy]

I strongly recommend to use 650, so you can get that cineripper feel. Many people asked for my real rates 940, which I doubt they will enjoy cos is too hardcore LOL.

[@dylancleveland]

Are u using HQProp DT2.9X2.7X3 but its for avata 1 ? The screw points are little different on props. Avata2’s are wider. Can u PLEASE give us link? I’m searching for a prop very long time coulnd’t find. And I don’t wanna purchase the wrong one.

[@dronarchy]

you are correct. I had to use Avata1 screws to fit properly. I feel more control due to lower pitch props. MyFPVStore has them available right now!!!

[@DroneHorizonsMK]

Do you use rocksteady with wide camera settings?

[@dronarchy]

thanks for asking. Yes Rocksteady.

[@galambosigabriel653]

What do you think about throwing some HQProps 3x1.5x3 to bring that pitch to it's limit? Do you think it's okay to do it? What would be the consequences?

@@galambosigabriel653 if you understand prop design then you know you are sacrificing punch for control. Law of equivalent exchange 👊😉.
