DJI Avata 2 Review - 10 things you NEED to know

[@dinosabic5383]

Never commented before, but I've been watching ya ever since I started my FPV journey. You are a cool dude, man. Appreciate all the effort you do to give us info on our purchasing decisions. Footage looks awesome! Going to make my switch from Walksnail into DJI with the o4 system :) Thanks again!

[@Mcgeee]

Ahhh stoked to have you along for the ride man!

[@christopherjones5397]

Bought an Avata a couple weeks ago on sale for $829 not realizing the Avata 2 was coming out so soon. On the third attempt to fly it made a fizzle sound and started smoking like crazy. Totally bummed (cause I loved flying it) I packed it up and returned it to find to great delight the 2 is out! Arrives in a few days. Can barely wait! Luck with unluck! You're video has me even more excited. I feel like a kid!

How is it so far I’m new to drones and I want this new one thinking of getting the fly more combo. Anything I should know before buying 🧐

I have the 1 and its amazing, i cant imagine how much more fun this is with all the upgrades

[@NONX01]

So you thinking or buying it?

[@mattwebb5453]

@@NONX01 ahaha yesssir!! Just waiting for Best Buy to have it in stock so I can use my status card n get it tax free 😂😂

[@NONX01]

@@a-hvlogs2046 it’s not amazing man. It’s one of the worst FPV drones. Please don’t call things amazing if you had no comparison. It’s clearly your first drone and I won’t believe you in million years if you say it isn’t. Even older DJI FPV is better than that. Slow, sounds like a mosquito on coke, losing control after SIMPLE manoeuvres like flat yaw spin, not to mention anything intermediate or advanced. Even medium strength wind and you can forget about nice steady content. We are talking FPV here - FPV = manual mode, if you wanna talk about N/S mode for pensioners and based on that call it amazing you need to find a video about Mavicks and other GPS drones, but even there it’s gonna be the worst GPS drone. It’s like buying Ford Fiesta and calling it amazing because you never had a car before and now you are happy to drive from point A to B instead of walking or cycling.

[@NONX01]

@@mattwebb5453 so you not really thinking about it are you? You decided already and just wait for it to be in stock to order. I’m not native English speaker but it blows my mind how people miss use the words. Previous guy calls Avata 1 AMAZING ( so what is a real fpv 5” or 7” cruiser or even DJI FPV? Ultra mega bombastic? ), now this guy says he is thinking of getting one while he already decided to get one. The world is doomed.

[@jpcyr]

First review I watch from you. And how humble you are and knowledgeable makes it one of the best I seen on drones. Just a matter of time until a sponsor recognizes that too. ❤

[@toasti2699]

Are you going to be using this for indoor shoots for real estate or events? really considering selling all my current fpv gear for the avata 2

[@ummhyam544]

Thank you for all your reviews

[@Dartheomus]

I grabbed one of these, but in looking at your clips, I think I will still want a go-pro on top. I wish DJI would just get together with GoPro and make an all-in-one amazing unit! (with a friggin aperture adjustment!!!)

[@Phototravellers]

Thank you for your detailed assessment. We are also currently considering purchasing the Avata 2 in addition to the Air 2S and the Mini 4 Pro.

[@ColSam458]

An excellent and concise review, thanks for sharing. DJI has really listened and fixed the main complaints of the original Avata. Definitely appreciating the reduced noise levels, secure battery fitment and image quality. The new easy acro modes are quite promising. Hopefully with future updates, DJI will expand the range of moves/add more customising. I would also like to see a package that includes the remote controller 3 with the fly more combo instead of the motion controller. I`ve been flying stabilised camera drones for a couple years now and I`d really like to make the leap to FPV, this seems like the perfect drone to fit the bill.

[@Mcgeee]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Great video, very informative, cut straight to the point

[@eksmaan]

Solid review man. I love the Avata 2. I feel that 30fps view in the goggles, LOL. It's real.

[@ronniecienega6110]

Great video! Thanks a bunch. Im thinking now is the time to buy my first drone and want to make sure that I get what i want and need. Your video covered a lot of questions I had about the Avata 2. You have a new subscriber 😁

[@effortless_choice]

Danny, on point, no fluff and great pace. When I’m ready I’ll come back and buy your LUTs (no clue what that was until you mentioned it). I’m new to drones, I’ll be buying the Avata 2 for some personal projects I’m working on. Cheers 👍😎🇺🇸

[@WildpixFPV]

For me the lack of compatibility kills it, again! The goggles are not downward compatible, not even to the O3 air unit. If this is fixed in the future, I'll think again. If it even will be ok with the older units like Vista, it's a yes. The FPV controller 3 has to be purchased extra. I missed these informations in your review, still thanks for the good work as always.

[@Nevexety]

I’m pretty sure they’ll update it later dji is just waiting for a sales number or something. It’s just to make pp buy the whole pack

[@Mcgeee]

It definitely will come eventually just takes awhile to rollout

[@Mikelar_ee]

Yea they already said it’ll come later in an update.

[@mattwebb5453]

Hehe I only have a M4P 😂

[@dylancleveland]

There was a prerelease firmware where it was compatible but they pulled it before release, so it's coming.

[@bry2k]

Where is that rock formation shown at 7:15? It's amazing. I want to go see it in real life!

[@kinocchio]

How long before Dji puts a 360 camera on their drones?

[@pedzsan]

I hope they do. 360º or 180º to create immersive videos. The problem is getting the drone out of the shot.

[@kinocchio]

@@pedzsan ah didn’t think of that

[@comicninja6742]

Never get an insta 360 if you want that

[@gonzomonzo1000]

[@lawiagus73]

Im looking to purchase my 1st drone. Should i go for mini pro 4 or Avata 2? Mainly for traveling

[@ernestopica7668]

that's my doubt too!

[@JRGGG]

I would guess mini

[@gonzomonzo1000]

What did you choose and how it's going ? I'm in same dilemma now 😂

[@jasmijnariel]

Depends on what you want.... Fun? Then an fpv drone. Good recording footage, stable too? A cinematic drone. I didnt want a dji, zo i have the autel nano pro with the 4k camera. Great for gentle , steady and crisp recording.

[@nathanh2917]

​@jasmijnariel id get a mini pro 4 for travel. Longer flight time better stability. I have a mini 3 looking to upgrade. Short flight time seems like a big downside for me. However I had great fun flying my mini through trees until I hit one lol.

[@grol1020]

Great video! You convinced me this is going to be my next drone. Big step coming from the first Mavic Air. Btw I just purchased your luts and have to say I'm really surprised how good they are. I was first sceptical with the price but totally worth it. Using them on DaVinci Resolve. Thanks mate!

[@Markus65o2]

Great video! Question: I have an original Avata which needs to be tethered to my iPhone running the DJI Fly app. Does the Avata 2 and new DJI Goggles require a iPhone/Android connection for flight?

[@jj866]

What makes the GoPro better? Low light ? Dynamic range? Or is it the colours?

[@freestockvideos9959]

Probably better image quality

[@RafalGalinski_drony]

Thank you Danny. Did you mention compatibility, or it is not worth?

[@LivingInLethbridge]

It is currently not compatible with any of the previous generation stuff from DJI, not the controller, motion controller or goggles.

[@GRiZ_94]

Just grabbed mine through your link. 🎉 Thanks for the review!

[@k7arusi]

Does it work with controller 2 and goggles integra?

[@brandon9689]

When I get my Avata 2 I'm going to fly 95% manual mode, probably 4% normal in sport mode but with the same FPV3. One thing I will absolutely be trying for fun is holding the motion RC3 in my pocket while wearing the goggles with a hood up. One-handed incognito flight sounds like it would be a fun time.

[@Droneking68]

Rc3 not even in stock so you won’t be flying manual

[@DigitalicaEG]

If easy acro also did cliff dives it would’ve been KILLERRRR

[@johnkelliher4292]

Great video , I got mine a few days ago, are the rear/underneath sensors on by default I cant see any setting for this !!

[@_..--]

First drone for me, just graduated college well tomorrow lol and I'm super stoked to take this to the high desert mountians I live by.

[@gonzomonzo1000]

Was it worth the money Im thinking to buy it.

[@LudekSlegr]

very nicely done - both the content and format! :)

[@yrre7]

Would it be too heavy for flying if mounting a GoPro on the drone?

[@Katsoulinos]

When we speak about beginners, are we actually speak about users with no other drone experience or for experienced users of regular drones without an FPV experience? Is the original controller suitable for left hand use as well?

[@robertcorbin1235]

Cheers Danny, was waiting for this video from you 😄 thank you for the info!

[@Hot_dog_jello]

Alright I need some real opinions rn I’m really on the edge of buying the avata 2. I’ve done the research and know it’s something I want and will fs use And it all seems like a great drone in a great package. But then there’s always people saying it’s not worth it or it’s trash. I need some good critique given to me to make my decision. And also off of Amazon bc idk about buying straight from dji if it’s getting banned

[@eddiefreeman1603]

What would be the best drone to learn with just around my home and garden? I'd rather not buy an expensive drone while I figure out what I want to use it for in the future.

[@EstateFPVTravel]

Hi! How to disable battery low hover or rth to not interrupt my footage!?

[@Beam74]

would you think that this could be a great beginner drone aswell?

[@UNPLUGGEDCHURCHHEMET]

First time watching your channel. Very impressed by the content and presentation. I was the media director for my previous church and had some great drone footage from different countries, but being an amputee I was never able to quite get the fluidity that I desired with one hand. I have been really looking at the Avata 2 with the RC Motion 2 controller. Is the controller just a novelty or will I be able to get some dynamic footage with this combination? Any input would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!

Is there the auto-record, so you never forget to push the record button when you fly?

[@Amberdogproductions]

So on the drift... I've seen clips of it being used but... The clip ends going backwards which is cool, but..now you can't see what's coming and how do you get it going forward again? Drift again in hopes before you slam into something? I've not seen it fully explained or shown.

[@justdrewit2219]

Cool, but did they release fully customizable controls yet? Been waiting for years for them to add in standard mode 4

[@DH1991_Sodel]

It looks like the DJI Avata 2 Fly More Combo (Three Batteries) for $1199 is the best value. Do you think someone would have to get the DJI Controller 3 or could start out with the included DJI RC Motion 3 and work up to the controller later?

[@droneageuk]

Another great video Danny mate. Always honest and to the point. The drone looks amazing and as always dji is just so easy to throw in a bag and jump on a plane without the hassle of fire proof bags etc. Thanks again brother 👍🏼

[@Wisskey8t9]

awesome and beautiful video! how you do your coloring for your video ive always wanted that look. im new to the drones and editing video's! I have MOVAVI...will your luts work with that program? Also what editing program are you using please.

[@dylancleveland]

Have mine now but worried about all the broken ones I've been seeing. Seems like they sacrificed durability for weight and flight. /: would be nice if it was more user serviceable, but ultimately I picked this up planning to switch to O4 air unit DIYs after I learn enough. Doesn't hurt me as much as some if it is as fragile as it seems.

[@f_celvec]

Thank for your review ! GoPro is still better ?

[@Mcgeee]

Footage wise yes

[@guyboustany6072]

​@@Mcgeee Thought it would be better since it has a bigger sensor than GoPro's 🤔

[@Gippslanddroneflyers]

Yeah I was really hoping the footage would be better on the avata. Guess I'll need to keep the go pro.

[@SolusElectronic]

Hey, great video! What is the delay between the drone camera and the goggles?

[@carlstunna1182]

I’m thinking of mounting the new insta360 x4 on this and on my Mavic 3 pro when I fly just to have more to work with

[@TherealDsizzle]

So I can’t decide between FPV or just a regular one I guess my question is what is the advantage to having one the isn’t FPV vs the FPV? You’re getting the same shots you just get to see it with the goggles basically right? So why wouldn’t you get FPV ? Help me please!

[@jonasoatis]

Would love to see a video on your camera settings! I had such a tough time with the original avata with noise and quality. Did you use an ND filter with your footage?

[@Mcgeee]

Most of the time I did yeah. Main thing is to make sure your shutter speed is at the correct setting. But I'll probably make a video out of it 🤘🏽

[@Beerz101]

Im debating on getting the avata 2, Would be my first fpv drone. I figured it would go good with the mini 4.

[@ethanharris1390]

I’m thinking of getting the avata 2, do you/anyone recommend getting the ND filters with it?

[@cascadiapictures3480]

Good value bro, appreciate you putting that video together. I've been Part 107 on standard drones for about 4 years now and a client offered to buy one for me if I operated it for him on shoots. So it seems like a good investment

[@kasperarntzen3371]

had you upgraded from dji fpv drone with gopro 11 to the avata 2?

[@WhaHoppen69]

Omg it still has that glitch thing happening on sharp turns?!?! I thought they fixed it! Please tell me it's fixed.... I fly dji fpv like a psycho and I live for those high speed turns and stops...

[@ruebenfilmz]

Much appreciated as always, pro tips! Is this a rig you would use on gigs?

[@Mcgeee]

I'd probably mount a GoPro up top if I used it for gigs. But honestly the footage is close so we'll see when the time comes

[@ruebenfilmz]

@@Mcgeee makes sense😅 well, looking forward to that footage. Cheers man!

What do you do about memory on your computer?I saw on one of your other vids but I can't remember the equipmemt😢

[@mikelinz189]

Does the remote support mode 4? The previous avata did not.

[@PureAlcatraz]

I'm comparing this to the Mini 4 Pro - I don't plan on taking a lot of cinematic/photography shots, but I also don't think I'd get into hardcore FPV flying, just to have a leisurely time meandering in the air. So I'm not sure if I want the extra flight time of the Mini 4 Pro.

[@nathanh2917]

It goes by fast. I have a mini 3 which has longer flight time. Same battery as the mini pro 4. Especially if your enjoying the view or zipping around. I get motion sick in vr.. so debating the avata but only got sick if I was crashing lol.
