Watching from Mandaluyong City Philippines, always present never absent..... flight safe

[@CCC0122]

Hey Dustin, I just checked out your initial Avata 2 video- did you ever figure out the recording issues and did you ever hear from DJI ? Excellent job as usual, thx!

[@DustinDunnill]

You need to have easy acro on before recording. Even with an update, recording live view (view through goggle front cameras is hit and miss when you switch. Updates will solve the issues according to DJI but not sure when 🍻

[@3172bees]

Just got my first drone at 61 years old and it’s a blast!

[@EthanX1ao]

I taught my grandma how to play with my mini3pro last week and she is an amazing quick learner

[@user-ny2fc4di4x]

Dustin is the best ever at testing the capabilities of DJI drones

[@johnslugger]

*I like the "H" for Home Point on the screen!*

[@DavidReynolds-kr6yh]

For a safe way of finding your avata 2 if you don’t make it home, just hook up your phone with the dji fly app, to your goggles. It will give you the gps position of where your drone has landed to a very close proximity.

[@tts8297]

Well done, Dustin. Your long range tests are the best on the internet.

[@andrehome2493]

Dustin, never a dull moment with your range tests, you have.taught the lesson of drone retrieval abundantly clear

[@XxgunsxX1]

love your range test videos you make the most real and honest range test videos on drones you the one i only trust!!!!!

[@kevinsdroneadventures6242]

Great range test Dustin! I'm glad you were able to find it the first time, and the sport mode test was great!

[@CCC0122]

Dustin, great to see you are still putting out such informative and nicely put together drone videos! I've been gone from the hobby for awhile but had been watching you back in 2018...? I think..? Anyway, I hit the bell icon and will be looking out for more great videos

Excellent test... From a guy who's presentations are second to none... Brilliant... Thank you

[@BigAlFPV17]

What an amazing flight test. Besides that wind, it did very well in Normal & Sport mode. I also entered the contest for the Avata 2 package. Excellent flight tests Dustin & looking forward to the next video!! 😊

[@TheGrahamReaper21]

Love your content bro, you give me anxiety with these tests but its a rush!

[@chadiwack]

This is a fascinating video. I for one appreciate you making it. I just purchased an Avata 2 fly more kit yesterday. Arriving in 1-2 weeks. I'm devoring all KZbin content I can find and your video is a standout. Thanks again. It's a sub from me.

Been watching for this one!

[@lunacavas428]

Compared to your Avata 1 range test video from the same location. Things to note: Sport mode can achieve same range as Normal mode, Avata 2 seems to have similar transmission range as Avata 1 but can go slightly farther due to longer battery life, Avata 2 battery life seems to match max transmission distance well in average green environment AVATA 1 - Normal 11297ft / 2.14mi / 3.44km 48% battery 7;27 min RC 4 of 4 HD 3 of 4 @ 28Mbps 17.8 MPH out 17.8 MPH in (manual) / 11 MPH below 9% batt AVATA 2 - Normal 13646ft / 2.58mi / 4.16km 49% battery 9;28 min RC 1 of 4 HD 1 of 4 @ 1Mbps 17.8 MPH out 17.8 MPH in (manual) / auto land below 7% AVATA 2 - Sport 13945ft / 2.64mi / 4.25km 53% battery 5;00 min RC 3 of 4 HD 2 of 4 @ 6Mbps 35 MPH out 27 MPH in (auto)

[@JulianMolyneux]

good tips - kudos for you testing this stuff with your own drones to share with others - cheers

[@AjaySingh-228]

Wow, this was an intense range test! It was a close call at the end, but you managed to fly the Avata 2 way further than I expected. Those pebblebee trackers are a great idea for long range flights. I learned a lot from your mistakes, especially about using sports mode for the return flight. Thanks for sharing bro

[@rickkillian2378]

That tracker looks like a great idea. I'm definately getting some for all my drones

[@frankensteincreations4740]

Plowed mine perfectly into a tree right on the camera… Cracked the one camera mount off… They’re like the size of a paper clip. Sent it in to DJI, and had a whole new drone stat! As soon as mine was in the mail, they had mine shipped… Great customer care!

[@DustinDunnill]

😂 glad you got it taken care of. I've had the same great service for many of their drones. Free shipping, fast and always cheaper than I think 🍻

[@SkyStepDrones68]

Thanks for the video and great info Dustin

[@RonaldBrown59]

Good testing, and I'm glad you were able to recover your drone this time. That bluetooth tracker could come in very handy. Thanks for sharing.

[@xhappy425]

been waiting for this

[@woogaloo]

Haven't ever thought I would get into FPV drones, but this looks like an awesome one to start with.

[@kochkramer]

It is! Never flown a drone before. But I just had to get the Avata 2, and I love it! So much fun!

[@MattExzy]

I've been flying stuff for about a decade, never usually a fan of FPV. Always preferred line of sight. However, I recently started putting together a couple of planes with Ardupilot. I like being able to set a waypoint mission, then just observe it via the video. It was actually thanks to my DJI Mini SE that tickled the interest in FPV more.

[@BIGGUY401]

I love these range test. Great. 😊

[@Twobarpsi]

The OG King of range tests 🤙🤙🤙!!

[@silverfox74]

Another amazing vid Dustin - your range tests are the crown jewels of YT drone videos. Would love to see you continue the Avata 2 series testing the remaining features like easy acro at another location or even use the FPV RC 3 in manual mode at 60mph.

[@DustinDunnill]

Thanks! I got the fpv controller. I'll give it a go 🍻

[@silverfox74]

Hello Dustin-When it comes to long range you are miles ahead of everyone-best regards-Mike in Australia.

[@Klemheist-vf1hx]

Miles ahead of Australia, with CASA deciding you can't fly out of sight.

[@elvenstar6341]

Big love from the UK another great vid

[@justinyingmingweng3933]

Interesting and bold tests!

[@CHEFFINDELICIOUS]

Man, I got SO nervous on the return seeing that battery level drop every few seconds lol. Thanks for a great video!

[@revtoyota]

Another great video Dustin. The one thing DJI needs to fix is the constant beeping when RTH is active. I'm flying the dang thing I know its RTH I don't need the beeping. 🤣

[@riskybusiness5]

Probably the main reason, I always cancel RTH and fly it back myself. 😆

[@benyosep5640]

It’s annoying as hell. Sounds like an alarm clock ⏰

[@Xplicit_fpv]

The best at long range testing!

[@subbasa]

Love ur videos dude

[@andrehome2493]

Always wanted to see a range test in sports mode, maybe you burn more power but you are getting to distance faster, interesting, good job Bro.

[@pjchacon]

Great video. Thank you! After watching lots of videos, yours made me finally decide on the Avata 2. Also, great idea on the tracker. I'll for sure get one. Just one suggestion. When you are on low battery, try to decrease playing with the camera angle. All that camera operation and stabilization takes energy and decreases the aerodynamic profile of the drone.

[@fhoneman]

That was awesome 👍❤️

[@Jesus__Loves__Us__All]

I can't wait to get one! I am waiting for the raffle first! God Bless!

[@cyclonedronz7861]

Great video Dustin! Curious..what state are you in? It looks so dry...

[@BenTaylor-qy4in]

Dude, a MILE! I love mine so far, just got it yesterday. First drone and I can't express enough how easy it is to control for a first timer. I don't know what to compare it to but I am extremely impressed with all of the options and tech with this drone. Its great. Yesterday, I went out back about a quarter mile. Easy, no issue. Tonight I did the same, saw some deer feeding and it lost signal suddenly. Not sure why, could have been a random connection thing. But other than that, its been beyond great.

[@PhilTParker]

Definitely the most exciting drone video that I’ve seen yet. I bought my Avata 2 with goggles and controller etc…about two weeks ago. Just before that I bought the Mini 4 Pro with the RC2. I’ve flown the Mini and LOVED it. Lately I’ve been learning about the Avata 2 and the goggles, watching videos and lining up my settings. By the way, watch out for updates. They can change settings back to defaults. In a recent video as of 5/8/24, one flyer described how an update resetted the default recording setting to Goggles only (why would a developer do this?). So after you experience an update, make sure the camera recording setting is set to “both” so that the goggles are recording AND the drone is also recording. You want that 4k footage! Happy droning, and thanks for this video. Seeing your drone losing power while forty feet up next to the top of the pine tree was nerve wracking to watch, let alone experience it as the owner of the drone. Last note: I will definitely be buying that little tracker that you suggested…make that two of them!

[@RC.Aviators]

The rocking motion you see during the RTH is not due to winds... It's the inherent funny nature of the algorithms in the drone. DJI is working on it to get a fix.

[@DirtyBird]

Great range tests. I was surprised how well the battery held up in the Sport Mode run. I agree max efficiency for the Avata 2 is around 26 mph. DJI seems to have already established the most efficient speed for each model & sets it as the RTH speed. When you did the recovery on the Normal Mode test I was hoping you would spot the missing Mini 4 Pro. :)

[@oscr_zen]

its crazy how you got further in sport mode while having the rth to takeover and still left with 16 % battery to do 4 power loops in the yard xD Not bad at all. 4km range is good.

[@hummerzdca]

Man! Just don’t know if I could EVER do that! I stress enough when it’s out of line of sight! Whoa! Just seeing the visuals these drones give us when flying, you near literally ARE THERE when you lose your buddy! Glad you found it. Wheewww..close compared to what I saw in your Mini 4 loss!

[@rushrucker1785]

I'm impressed with the 04 signal strength and the features especially the feature where it flew itself out of the tree. Not going to ever fly that far, but the signal would be strong enough to go around objects. I glad I didn't buy the Avata1. Good video!

[@noohohno]

Thanks for range test and link to the self powered beeper. Home flight area is hilly and heavily forested. Real variable signal strength due to the obstructions. Still impressed with the Avata 2 ability to penetrate through the obstructions relative to my older analog hardware. So far, the MC3 has made flying relaxing. Only one crash and one broken propeller after 20 flights. Fraction of the "usual" number of crashes and broken propellers. Have a bunch of M76 2mm T mount propellers that look identical to the stock DJI Avata 2 propellers. Only issue are the spacing of the 2mm mounting holes. Fraction of a mm wider than std MT76 propellers. DJI props and the first bunch of non-OME that hit the market are a bit on the relatively pricey side. The plus is not breaking, chipping, dinging propellers as frequent.

[@dez6817]

You know, when you started the landing 2 miles out, it out got your heart going! 😂

[@Glock27gunner]

Great test! I remember when you lost the Mini 4, maybe you could use the Avata 2 to look for it. Its a lot more nimble than the Mavic 3 and with head tracking might give you better search capabilities. Its been out there for a while so who knows, might be in bad shape at this point. Anyway, good idea on the tracker, considering getting one of these.

[@hedgefund996]

Awesome Flight 🫡

[@foggyshores5986]

Every drone that is released I wait for your famous last words, "Um guys , I may have to ditch somewhere". LOL. Great video.

[@gustavoromano]

Ayayayayay Dustin ... Tus pruebas me ponen nervioso XD😮😮

[@weirfpv669]

Great range test! Thank you! Any idea what the max wind speed was during your flights that day?

[@DustinDunnill]

Seemed to gust up to 15mph at maximum. Quite variable though 🍻

[@carveking]

Your house is amazing. What do you do for a living. Im really thinking of picking one of these up. I used to race fpv and freestyle back a few years ago but I don't have the time anymore. This seems like a perfect low maintenance alternative.

[@GoccuaPhu]

Everything I need to know about avatar2 is here, thank you. Can you give me more information about the removable GPS mounted on avatar2?

question: if you are in the US, has the FAA contacted you about the beyond visual line of sight thing? Love the videos, but how have you not got a letter?

[@dougwebb6140]

Love it

Hi Dusting, what is the bluetooth tag you attached to the drone? I watched you mentioned it in one of your videos. Today I almost lost my drone and it would have been way easier if i had such a tag that I could make blip. Thanks!

[@Soupcan13]

have you seen the aftermarket aluminum bumpers you can bolt onto the front? I snagged a pair online, hoping they will protect damage to the camera if something bad happens

[@oscr_zen]

I am so happy for you that you installed the beeper drone finder thingy. That is some growth!

[@vulduovlak]

The video is very good, but I'm curious how you attached the Pebblebee to the drone...

[@lancedavies2472]

Dustin says "congrats..you won the raffle".... "here's the GPS coordinates and a ladder" lol Well, if I don't win the raffle, I'm definitely going to buy this thing! Thanks for the awesome video.

[@Icantdrive55]

Great idea! He could raffle off the mini 4 pro he lost in the woods. Winner has to find it to collect. Lol 😂

[@rpguy4]

Very interesting that you were able to reach about the same flight distance both in Sport and Normal mode. You could of tried out the Real View PIP feature to look for the RTH button. Always enjoy your range tests. Those BT trackers look like a great idea. Thank you !

[@DustinDunnill]

Unfortunately going into live view seems to possibly stop goggle recording so I'm hesitant when needing the recorded video but yes in a normal situation that is a good idea 🍻

[@francfortina3473]

Love the area! are you in the Sierria's?

Im pretty new to drones, i have a couple avata 1s with the fpv 2 goggles. How do i record the heads up info when i record?

[@EthanX1ao]

What does that HD signal bar under the RC signal mean?

[@hoho2883]

Nice job! so you should let your avata RTH by himself whenever it show low battery. Thanks for your efforts 😊

[@riskybusiness5]

Well, always be aware of where you are flying and set your RTH accordingly. You can set your return altitude or set to hover in place when it loses connection. If you were flying low in a forest you probably don't' want it to ascend straight up in auto RTH.

[@DustinDunnill]

It's safest to yes. Now if it was completely calm with no wind I think another 5-10% would have been possible 🍻

[@raytherrien2851]

told you months ago to use a tag attached to it and you said to me NO IT WILL WEIGH TO MUCH AND NOW YOUR USING MY IDEA!!!!! I mean Im glad it makes sense but just pointing out you laughed at me in the fall when I mentioned it after you were looking for your lost drone!

[@DustinDunnill]

I laughed at heavy ones like air tag. This was the lightest I could find. Thank you, and the 2,000 others recommending a tag. Now stop being a dick 🍻
