Man oh man! What a lot of information! I just got Avata 2 this week, haven’t unboxed yet until I can sit and watch more to help me get started. Flying my Mini 3 and Mini 4 Pro have been a lot, and looking forward to trying the goggles/motion controller with it first before the Avata 2 around the house. (Been too windy out anyway) Spoiled with the obstacles avoidance of the 4 Pro I guess. Thanks for the posts!🇺🇸

[@PeteLeong]

Fantastic! Thank you!

[@grege2383]

Great video, very informative. I just got the fly more combo and just ordered the controller 3. I'm use to shooting tight gaps with my Meteor75 so flying this will be interesting

Thanks for showing how to use .You are awesome THANKS.

[@pianomans1]

Another great video Steve! I'm enjoying the Avata 2! It definitely has capabilities that regular FPV drones can't do. Ok , not impossible but very difficult to do. A simple example is if you need it to hover and video something. Kinda like your mini 4 pro was orbiting you during your video. That is another great drone! DJI is really pushing out great products! Thanks Steve ! Looking forward to your next videos on the Avata 2!

[@emptyqrider]

Most advanced simple to fly ever made .. i recall the video earlier when you mentioned that this one going to be your choice to buy .. Super fun, that’s why 👏🏻👏🏻

[@PianoManPaul]

I'll have mine, the full 3-battery kit, in a week or two. Can't wait! You probably could have mentioned DJI's "Care Express" insurance options, I always get the 2-year, 4-replacement coverage (my Avata 1 has that still). This particular product, like its predecessor, is among the LEAST expensive DJI drones to replace if you happen to damage it, or camera system, or battery (compared to the Air series ... very inexpensive!) ... anyhow, thank you for your insightful Avata 2 features presentation here Steve.... happy flying!

[@andymontejo4334]

Thank you for another video that is spot with all the info you need and none of the unnecessary fluff. I am a cameraman and 107 pilot that is looking to try fpv. I have stayed away from DJI for many years because of the painful process of unlocking the geofencing in order to fly. Since the Avata 2 is mainly for fpv, does it have the same unlocking issues? Has DJI streamlined the unlocking process? This may be something you could include if you do an Avata 2 follow up video. Thanks again for the great content.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It is identical to a MAVIC. Since it has a built in GPS it won’t let you fly in certain restricted areas.

Nice video. I bought an Air 3 and it also does not come with a charger. And I also discovered it slowly charges when using inexpensive chargers. It took over 12 hours to charge three batteries. It was something that other demo channels did not point out. Overall, it is not big deal, mostly annoying to find out after the fact.

[@SharpROCKbarn]

Steve, great and informative info especially for beginners .. However, you did emphasize the ease for beginners and how quickly they could be doing real estate ... You probably know what i am going to say.. They can not do real estate until they are FAA 107 certified.. I hope you point this out in a future video... Otherwise a lot of people might think they can start a side business and they cannot... I am not a negative person but you did repeat the real estate angle many times and for the safety of those involved I wanted to drop you a note.. If I could have done so in private, i would have... Keep up the good work... Joe

[@brandon9689]

I can't wait to get this drone. I've been practicing hard on my Analog Tinyhawk freestyle. Around 6-12 packs a day. Unless I'm trying something crazy, I usually don't crash anymore. If I'm gonna burn one of my DJI care refreshes, I want it to be for something good 😂

[@gaoosed]

Finally a person who pronounces Avata correctly lol

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

DJI wants people to pronounce it as A-Vata, whereas people in North America pronounce it as a single word with no emphasis on the “A”

[@brandon9689]

DJI changed their own pronunciation. They used to say it like Steve with the Avata 1 videos. Now with the Avata 2 they say it the other way in their tutorials.

[@frankc.9853]

Lol... My question was going to be "Do you have any videos showing the stick moves for the flips and drifts?" BUT I guess that's coming! Cool! I have the Avata 2 and tried it out the Remote 3 today, I need to find an open and empty space to get use to the Motion Controller though.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Stick moves are simply the one joystick on the motion controller. Just move it in the direction of your desired drift or flip

[@frankc.9853]

Uhh sorry, I meant stick moves with the RC 3.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@frankc.9853Oh, you have to know how to fly in manual mode to do that. To flip forward, push the right joystick forward, etc.

[@andyp.4205]

Thanks Steve. I feel its an upgrade from the A1. Hopefully, they make backwards compatibility with the Integra and the other FPV remote. If not I will most likely sell the Avata and get it anyway.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

DJI always adds backwards compatibility after they have sold enough of the new product.

I did mention twice during the video that there is no object avoidance.

[@ParadiseByAir]

Hi I use the dji fpv for fast Landscape videos and wanted the avata 2 for some fast cruising in woods and were there obstacles but I would hate to go hiking and carrying the v2 googles and remote controller 2 do you think the googles 3 and remote controller 3 will ever be backwards compatible with the dji fpv???

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Probably. It may take a year though for DJI to put out such a firmware update.

[@Speedbat76]

When flying indoor can't you just enable the beginner mode? The mode thats enabled out of the box for first flight. That way you dont need to do any changes in normal mode meny?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Beginner mode would work for some. For others they will need to modify the gains to achieve the desired effect

[@_NeXus6_]

Great Tutorial video ! can I buy your house ? looks great ;)

[@EdgarSnowSki]

Great review. The easy ACRO is cool idea, however if it’s only normal mode ie max speed 30kmh , no practical use in filming sports like mtb or skiing downhill and do drifts, as speeds there much higher than 50kmh.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You’d need to fly in manual mode to get awesome filming of such events.

[@benvanmil6761]

Steve, would the head tracking feature be more useful as a directional input Vs just looking around and going straight where you aren't looking????

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Unfortunately no. The drone does not fly where you look.

[@brandon9689]

You think of everything Captain Drone. I was literally just typing out a question which you anwered at 27:00. If your stick is loose, do N/S modes work like angle mode on a regular quad? You have full throttle management and it will bounce off the ground if you don't manage it? Or does it just raise and lower like a normal gimbal drone?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

With the throttle stick loose It continues to function as per any MAVIC type drone in Normal & Sport Modes.

[@steventrueman3493]

hi, i see you wear glasses, i have quite a high prescription so i probably would have to wear my glasses throughout flight, what are the goggles like whilst wearing glasses, thanks for a really informative video

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I remove my glasses to wear the goggles

[@enriquecordovanovion6069]

Very good video, thank you. I would like to complete it with a criterion or perspective. As I saw in another test, what counts most for a beginner is the level of mastery of the drone they can reach and the amount of time spent. These are assumptions based on many videos I have watched about the Avata 2 before purchasing it. It's just that it's very expensive.... Let's assume that 100% is complete FPV mastery of this drone including manual sport flight and acrobatics. It is the physical limit of Avata 2. Avata 2 with motion control piloted by a beginner: you will reach 50% of the maximum capacity of flying this Avata 2 in FPV (it would be 100%). That maybe after about 2 hours of flight. After 4 additional hours the same beginner with motion control would master approximately 70% of 100% After 10 additional hours with the motion controller and the Avata 2 and using all its options such as head tracking, sport modes and easy acro, among others, the same beginner will reach 75% or 80% of the 100% of the Avata 2. After 14 hours with motion control, 10 hours in the simulator, 10 hours live with the controller with manual sticks, and about 20 falls and broken parts, the same beginner would reach 95% or almost 100%. If you have patience. Then each person decides to what extent they want to master this hobby and this drone. I imagine many beginners will be happy to reach 80% after 16 hours of flying. I'm happy to reach 80% of the Avata 2 and that's why as soon as I saved up, I bought it. It would be nice to have a good, more serious comparative study than what I wrote. If you know of any, comment.

[@GMWTravels]

Very good video, very useful. Can you use the RC2 with the Avata2 or do you have to buy the controller 3?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

DJI wants you to buy the Remote Controller 3, so they made certain to not make the Remote Controller 3 compatible…. At this time.

[@Abuzour1983]

hello Mr. Captain Drone. thanx 4 the great review of avata 2. really useful. just want to ask, what is it there to recover u avata 2 from a fall.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Mine has crashed only once as shown in the video.

[@SgtJamesRay]

if it's upside down try turtle mode in the menu. If it's sitting up try restart on the motors. If none of that works then you have to do what is known as "The walk of shame!" and go get it. lol

Great video as always. Not a fan of the motion controller. Why are we trying to pull away from a normal transmitter??

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Please explain your question as I do not understand what you are asking.

[@SgtJamesRay]

DJI is just giving more options for more pep to come get there stuff. If they can get everyone to try it the more sells they make. When I go to flying events it's the motion controller I teach to non drone flyers. They all love it. I teach the reg controller to anyone looking harder. I've only taught my Grand daughter the reg controller.

[@mannythehunter]

@CAPTAINDRONE798 I feel like dji is trying push their motion remote. You now don't get a choice. Your dji will come with the motion remote and if you want a "normal" remote you are stuck paying extra for one. Thanks for all your reviews as always!

[@frankc.9853]

I have a quick question... Does your Avata 2 video split into another clip after 3:30 mark or so? I shoot in 4K 60 and was told that it may be why this happens. Your thoughts?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

All DJI Drones create multiple clips if you exceed 3 to 5 min of video. It has been that way since 2013. The reason is because if you crash and the video is corrupted, you only lose the last 3 to 5 min of your flight video.

[@frankc.9853]

Thanks for responding! I never noticed that with my Mavic 3 Pro. Hmm I will have to check it out this week.

[@geertschattenberg4437]

hi dear captain, you are very informative and jolly, you make me happy. My question is: can the Avata 2 keep track of anyone (= mbnore than follow me). I am from Malden, near Nijmegen in the Netherlands. Where is your film made? Bye, love your joy of drones en thank for looking in your home, ha ha! Geert

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

No. There is no tracking on the AVATA 1 and 2

[@SgtJamesRay]

[@alexkooistra]

Shouldn’t you film 4:3? You capture more on the top and bottom, more data for gyroflow to work with. I keep it at wide

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Not for online vids as all displays are close to 16:9

[@alexkooistra]

I think you are wrong here. Your export from gyroflow can be 16:9 ( or anything you want) but you want to capture everything you can. Filming 4:3 gives you more data for gyroflow to work with. But stabilizing with 16:9 footage will cause more digital zoom compared to 4:3. You are thinking in display format, that’s not what I’m talking about

[@TimHarris2]

According to the manual if you want HDR video, and 4K60fps you need to be in 16x9

[@alexkooistra]

@@TimHarris2 Thats not my point. I want the best quality and use gyroflow. DLogM, 10bit, 4:3 aspect... period. I mention this because I see to many youtubers/dronepilots who are not aware of this. The crop from the sensor in 16:9 is fairly big, you just loose valuable data. Also if you want to use shots for other aspects like 4:5 or 9:16 this is the way to go. i think it's valuable info to mention

Great video for a first time drone user. What are the links to the best pricing?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

When you watch a video on KZbin, the content creator of the video will place more info below the video. When someone says the LINKS TO THE PRODUCT ARE BELOW THE VIDEO, it means to find them, you look at the video, and look at the bottom of the screen and look for either a downward pointing triangle or an arrow or an option that says SHOW MORE. Click on one of those and you’ll now see what the author of the video posted.

Can we bind this remote 3 and goggles to 03 ?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Not yet. DJI will not release the firmware update that allows for that until after they release the DJI O4 and sold many goggles 3 & remote 3.

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 would buy but don't want to take 2 remotes with me all the time, dji should make this right out of the box,... dislike BIG BIG BIG THEM!

Could you help explain how you fly without connecting the goggles to your phone with a USBC cable?

[@SgtJamesRay]

You don't need to use a cell. The RID is in the goggles and the drone talks to the goggles for the vid. The controller also goes through the goggles. Now if you want you can use your cell or tablet as another screen by connecting the cable or setting the goggles in wireless. It's called liveview sharing. DJI has a vid for it on there site. It's too long to type through here. But I've done it. Even with the controller. Maybe we can get the good Cpt to do a quick vid on it. 😎

@@SgtJamesRay thank you for the quick reply. Yes please Captain Drone please do a short video.

[@mhmphotography400]

Do you find flying in manual mode with the controller 3 is like flying an R/C plane.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Not really. RC planes can be flown with only the right joystick and very little skill. Flying a drone in ACRO mode means you need two hands and synchronize coordination.

[@mhmphotography400]

Thank you ……. I have many years flying R/C planes and Mavic drones. I bought the Avata 2 along with the remote controller 3. This will be my first FPV done… do you recommend starting with the R/C motion controller or the remote controller 3 ? I’ll be flying in normal and sports mode until I get comfortable before switching to manual mode.

[@herbf2700]

Hah thats funny. Mine just arrived today I didn't get the thumb controller, just the trigger one for now. But its too windy to fly today. Bummer.

[@K92010]

Question is one battery enough? For a 13 yr old spending a 1000 dollars on a drone already a lot i was just wondering if i could save a couple bucks there

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Definitely not

[@GEOFFYCOLLECTION]

Hey, great video thank you one question I had because I did speak to DJI about this as well in the new goggles. Are you also seeing it as a rectangular square? I’m guessing there is no way to put this in fullscreen or at least get to edge. I thought this was gonna be more immersive, but all I’m seeing in the goggles is a small rectangular image I guess, probably to avoid lag issues. I did set the field to 100% just wondering if there is any option for more of a full screen

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

What are you referring to? Are you talking about the Picture in Picture? It is just a square as shown in this video.

[@GEOFFYCOLLECTION]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798​​⁠ I actually mean the feed from the drone inside the goggles I was expecting at least something close to full screen, but I’m getting about 80% of my fov. It’s still good, but it would be great to have a larger fov but I’m pretty sure they kept it like this just to reduce any lag

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@GEOFFYCOLLECTIONSounds like you are not in 16:9

[@GEOFFYCOLLECTION]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 so what do you see in the goggles? Do you see a rectangular image of the view? Do you see black on top and bottom left and right? I did send it to 16 x 9 but I still see that. It’s a rectangular square surrounded by black.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@GEOFFYCOLLECTIONMy entire rectangular image fills the screen. It sounds like you have just adjusted your viewing settings all wrong. Or… did you mistakenly put the prescription minus lenses on?

[@barrystrickland6527]

If you're in say 180 drift, how do you get out of it?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It is a 180 so you go from flying Forward to flying Backwards, and then the drone stops and you fly Forward again.
