DJI Avata 2 - The Most Fun YOU Can Have Flying a Drone!

[@sethikushal]

Impressed with how DJI addressed most of the shortcomings of the first Avata in their very next increment. Apple on the other hand takes ages and is notorious for minor incremental releases. So glad I held back on the Avata - 1.

[@Wetdogdrone]

Ordered mine this morning, first drone I have ever bought on launch day. Was thinking about picking up the Avata 1, glad I waited.

[@BitFloh]

The Avata 2 is amazing. I think this will be my first FPV drone.

[@cuve_ae]

Currently waiting for it to be delivered today, I felt that!

[@boydjensen3161]

Thanks, you are always "spot on, honest, self reflective, and believable" which is soo refreshing...

[@TheVisualStoryTeller-xe8kz]

I’m glade I waited. Can’t wait to purchase the Avata 2

[@CaliforniaPhantom]

I got my Avata 2 dropping Monday. If it handles better then Avata 1 and the quick moves can be done in a realistically easy way in acro then I’m definitely going to be happy. Great video Russ

[@IslandDigital]

That’s great. I love your excitement ! I have a Phantom 4 Obsidian model. I think this NEW model makes it time to upgrade to a whole new world from what I have !!

[@ellobo1326]

Succumbed to the hype. Just ordered one. My very first FPV drone.

[@twirlybird5212]

Russ can’t thank you enough for all you do. We can always count on you to present information like you’re having a conversation with good friends.

[@thane5665]

I really appreciate your real world reviews!

[@TakeOffTime]

Thanks Russ, you've helped me to decide to buy my first Avata after 4 years of owning only an MA2. Always appreciate your great videos 👍

[@TheFiremedico]

Thank you for being an advocate for safe flying and for always staying engaged with new products and innovations coming from DJI

[@raymceachren7975]

Gotta say I just watched a guy walk around obstacles and pick up objects with pass through mode on in his yard , he made it look easy . I just ordered the fly more combo kit an hour ago . Can’t wait

[@timothyp.southwick6542]

Very nice my friend. Thank you for the informative review. Very helpful.... As well here's a little info many don't know regarding drones. Drones fly level & straight-out, they stay at height regardless of distance flown. There's no angle changes had. There's no rise, no dip, drop or anything else. Drones fly & stay at starting height regardless distance flown. If you force the drone to adjust & correct for claimed globe curvature, it crashes. Enjoy this information. God Bless & Be Well my friend & friends.

[@yunghysterik]

Just got the Avata 2 yesterday! Been a sUAS pilot for about 4 years, P4P, Mavic, Air 2, but never flown an FPV. Super excited to get into this Cinewoop Avata 2. Gonna plan on learning to pilot indoors confidently so I can use my Part 107 and make video tours for realtors etc.

[@MobilePowell]

I have to get one! Love your videos!

[@touie98052]

Russ. Thanks man! I always appreciate your thoughts. I passed on the original DJI FPV thinking it was too heavy and cumbersome. I also passed on the original DJI Avata. This time, the Avata 2 seems much more refined, so I think it's time to enjoy the thrill of FPV. Looking forward to it. Thanks again Russ.

[@user-uv7tk6ds3k]

Thank you for the amazing tutorial! I just bought an Air 3 but I will be looking to add this to my collection. Have a great day!

[@DJVJLennyC]

i did as well.. especially since the goggles will work with the Air 3

[@Indy_Drone_Rescue]

Heading out to buy it later today. Thanks for the review!

[@bobtruck1594]

Agreed. Get the 3 battery fly more bundle. I'm returning my single battery. Just not enough to enjoy it. Specially if you drive to remote locations just to fly for 15 minutes. Make is worthwhile and have the freedom of 45 minutes fly time.

[@eduardmostert9200]

Thank you for your honest reviews. I am buying this drone as a beginner fpv drone and can not wait to start flying it

[@danlahrman5395]

After flying DJI drones since the Phantom, the Avata 2 will be my first FPV. Thanks for the good review.

[@OpsPt5]

Got my Avata 2 in a couple of days ago and already love it.

[@BillRau2152]

Russ, I have watched almost all of your videos over the last few years and they are always so well done, informative and helpful. Thanks for making this one on the Avata 2.

[@Diantane]

There were other reviews, but right from the start I looked forward to yours and I'm glad I did.

[@WilzDezignPhotography]

My eyes have bugged out in VR goggles, but the smoother cinematic feel of this.. I am really ready to take the jump to FPV with this v2

[@RJSamonte]

I held off buying the OG Avata because I knew the 2nd generation would be that much better. And now it's here and worth the wait!

[@theGranvilleVan]

I am probably going to go FPV again with this drone. I used to build my own racers years ago but that become a lot of work (due to multiple impacts with stationary objects). Thanks for all the info you provide, your mini4 pro vids convinced me to buy it and I've enjoyed every flight. Since these goggles work with mini 4 pro it's like getting 2 for one.

[@fly-9262]

I wish the other price was still for today. I just paid just over $1,600.00 last Friday. September 6th 2024. Still have a blast flying this drone! Very easy to fly!

[@DJVJLennyC]

Fantastic Review!! I have been thinking about getting the Avata and now that the Avata 2 is out, your review just made me want to get one. Keep up the great work!

[@LanceCadena]

It looks like a fun drone!!!! I also like how it can transfer battery life from one battery to another in the charging bank!!!! Thank you for the review!!!

[@timothykoop]

They seem to be on path for another dynamic year, really neat to see the much larger onboard memory!

[@2Dronesheads]

Every time I see your videos. Those lights in the background remind me of stock candles. lol. Glad the last one is a green candle

[@Toddard]

I have the first Avata and have had a lot of fun with it. I'll likely upgrade to the Avata 2 if I can sell my old one.

[@danielespinosa664]

Russ I just got my Avata 2 as my first drone, you inspired me to try out FPV. Consider me for the refresh plan lol

[@danoc51]

Thanks for the great review and giving us the pricing right up front. The first question in buying is, "Can I afford this?" As for the Avata 2, I don't see it as adding enough of the right features for me to move up from my Avata 1 (which I use for documentary footage, not for fun). Maybe I missed it but am wondering if the camera will aim straight down without seeing itself. Thanks again, Russ!

[@Axis2Classic270]

DJI Avata 2 seems to be a perfect drone for starting FPV ! I'm very impressed. Thanks a lot 51 Drones ! Phoumma

[@RonaldBrown59]

The Avata 2 seems like a great update to the first version, especially the camera. Great review, and thanks for sharing.

[@ryanhoyle4869]

Just purchased my first drone the Avata 2 from Amazon. I receive it tomorrow.

[@txarchdroneguy4731]

Great review, Russ. I picked up my flymore combo this at Best Buy. Just finished charging all batteries. Testing flying this evening.

[@Higgs631]

after flying my mini 3 pro for a few years ive always been interested in trying FPV and this looks like it might be the time

[@DexterMannheim]

Awesome review - I think the Avata 2 will be my first FPV drone. Just getting into the drone scene after spending most of my life involved in aviation (Private Pilot SEL, Professional A&P Aircraft Maintenance Technician). Having gotten a Mini3 fly more package as a birthday gift I’ve gotten totally hooked and considering a Part 107. Very impressed with the Mini3; my only concern is the fact that I only used the drone three or four times and the controller already died and had to be sent in for repair which takes 4+ weeks here in Germany. This doesn’t inspire much confidence in DJI products and I’m hoping it was just a very unlucky fluke. Stuck watching videos instead of making my own, I’ve watched dozens of FPV drone videos and I’m convinced the Avata2 will be an excellent choice for a first FPV drone.

[@tinydronefootage573]

Thanks for the video. I'm still happy with my Avata 1.

[@bubbachunky9]

Absolutley love this dude, would not buy one if it wasnt for this honest review, If I got lucky for the link, will make sure to snag mine from the affiliate link - much love for the transparent review

[@kellinbrown2227]

Great video. Really looking forward to the Avata 2 as my entry into FPV. I made a deal with my friend today that I'll pick one up in September after most of my busy season is winding down and he said he will take that deal and get one then as well.

[@lynsmith1096]

Great points on the Avata 2 Russ

[@johnhoover3345]

Thank you Russ for your in depth analysis. I've been watching your videos for years now and they are always informative and enjoyable. I've got a Mavic 1 which I fly as often as I can and also the first Gen DJI FPV. Both are terrific but the FPV is so much fun using the Motion Controller. I just wish the MC was just a bit smaller to grip. It's not hard to hold but doesn't quite feel perfect in my clutch. Anyway, keep up the great work and I look forward to more content from you.

[@dronyland]

Coming from FPV and "tiny woop" drones hobbit, I kind of left all that because it was too much money to spend on the remote + batteries + goggles + props...etc But this new version of FPV drone from DJI, with that attracting price and HQ video streaming in the goggles as well, is indeed very tempting. Thanks for the review video !

[@weirdmark]

I have the original and am going to get the new one. I love the Avata. I personally don’t know if I could last more than 20 minutes without becoming fatigued wearing the goggles that long. This is a great review Russ. I still remember your video where you were trying to fly in manual mode. If my memory serves me, there were a couple bleeps. 😂

[@johnzimm]

Said i wasn't gonna upgrade, then i upgraded. Im ready for the fun!

[@MarkAlderson]

I love DJI refresh plans, I have them on all my DJI devices! Luckily I haven’t had to use it yet! Give me a try!😂

[@mssippijim]

You’re right about kicking yourself if you don’t get the flymore combo. I did that with the spark and immediately regretted it.

[@davidneal1576]

Thanks for the review! A lot of insights. I just got mine yesterday. You helped answer some of the questions I had being a first FPV drone.

[@americansoldier7776]

Hey Russ, hope all is well. I hope all is well with the family. Your wife has been in our prayers. Have a great weekend, sir.

[@wingrovedl]

I'm not a FPV kind of a guy. But it looks kind of fun doing tricks. But, I could use a "Care Refresh Plan" for the Mini 4 I hope to get soon. Thanks Russ !

[@robs.patrick9691]

Russ, as usual the most informative and complete assessment. Thanks Blue skies...

[@CarlMoebis]

Great overview. Some reviewers missed the usb charging on the Arvada 2. One even said it wasn’t possible. Hoping to win the DJI care refresh plan too! Thanks.

[@howardprince8996]

Good evening Russ …. Great job on this video. I purchased this on opening day and feel this will be a useful tool for me in law enforcement. I will need to watch your video a few more times so I can get better at moving around in the menu. Thanks again and probably could use the added insurance lol

[@ABRAHAMSWINGLE]

tht look awsome and like so much fun. i was about to buy the first avata and i go t notified that they were making a second. i am so happy you made this video. it hs really nice features. thankyou for making this video cant wait for more in depth vids

[@PrimalDrones]

Thanks Russ!!! Oh and a big thank you for giving the price up front 👍 not a bad price

[@kccstar]

Great summary, can’t wait to get my hands on one.

[@doodsanddudes]

Thinking about getting the avata two. Care refresh would be useful

[@leepowelldrones7103]

Russ I love your videos and have an Air 2 which I have been using for about 3 years. I fell in love with the dji equipment and have seen different takes on if the Govenment has or is going to ban dji products. Please give me the straight story. Also keep up the great videos and you always give good honest info and tips. I hope your family are doing well. I am in Augusta Georgia where about 300 yards from my house the Masters Golf Tournament is going on now. Fly safe my friend.

[@timothyflynn]

Great price with the goggles. Would be a good complimentary purchase with another drone that could use the same.

[@robertmoran8994]

Great review. I am super excited about this release. I kept waiting to pull the trigger to get an Avata, and now I am glad that I did. I would love to get one of these. Thanks for all the great content!

[@eastbostonjets]

Great video as usual, this will be my 4th DJI drone but my first FPV. Thanks for convincing me to buy one 👍

[@manaoro]

It looks like a very nice fpv drone for beginners, nice video by the way

[@joernmchale5733]

I was thinking about buying this drone, thank you for the insight! It looks pretty neat!

[@branleesan]

I can’t wait until I can purchase this setup man that looks so fun

[@jordancamper9647]

I just sold my old avata and now they just fixed everything that I didn't like about it. I am for sure getting the new one

[@51Drones]

Good timing!

[@jasonmcmillin3644]

Great video. I can't wait for the review of these goggles with the Air 3.

[@simoneisele7998]

Very nice video! I absolutely love the Avata. Looking forward to purchase Avata 2

[@robboehm1]

Great video! Getting mine in 2 days. Can't wait!

[@hummerzdca]

Watched about a dozen reviews and hearing yours I may now go ahead and try it! Haven’t heard if I’m totally right, but I see in the specs that the goggles AND motion controller are also compatible with the Mini 4 Pro! Whoa, that just made it tougher to say no. Because I was wanting to try the Mini 4 Pro in FPV mode FIRST but this just may be a mixed blessing and cost less than the separate paths! I just wish I could fly without having to have a separate observer…Thanks!

[@m.webster]

I love your videos. I’ve watched your 3 pro 4 pro. Goggles for them. Then avata 1. I watch videos for hours on drones and yours is the best to watch. Going to get the avata 2. I have 4 pro and maybe just the goggles but I like the pass through mode which is why I recorded the goggles when I got them for the 4 pro. Although I bought oled sunglasses for them because I liked seeing my surroundings but this might beat it now. So. Idk hope yo win your refresh kit.

[@commercialvideographer]

Great video! Look forward to see more of your videos on the Avata 2.

[@TobyMai]

Thank you for all the amazing content! Can't wait to get an Avata 2 👍😎

[@ronaldwilson9525]

Interesting. But in my case and in my hands it would be an accident waiting to happen. I’m sure it would be fun for a while but I personally would never get one. Hats off to you all who will. Have fun and post lots of videos.

[@CaliforniaPhantom]

I wish the prop guards weren’t integrated to the body; I wonder how repairs are going to be. I’m amazed at how strong Avata 1 body is, I kinda wish they made the plastic on the Mavic(s) as hard as they do on the Avata.

[@fdnyfish]

How does the DJI fly app work with the avatar 2? Do flight logs get stored in the flight data center?

[@georgek1274]

Looks great, was seriously considering one of these . . . until I saw the controller! As a very left handed person I don't think I will be able to use this. It looks a little like power tools with the "lock" button on the grip which is very frustrating to use! Hope they consider the other 25% of us some day.

[@grumpyvlogger]

You really gave some great information on the Avata 2. Thanks for sharing.

[@Magic4drone]

Always love your down to earth videos 😎

[@grayrock522]

Thanks for yet another great video. I picked up my Avata 2 today, still haven’t gotten it out of the box due to weather.

[@joshbarker4953]

Thank you for giving me that price data early!! Great review 😊

[@camazar1]

Great video, Just ordered the FMC!! Love my Avata but Avata 2 has everything that I wanted!

[@jimsdroneing]

great info and demo of avata 2 Russ hopin mine arrives today thanks

[@jonathancannon4836]

Fantastic video as always! Ordered mine, will have tomorrow and can't wait to test out.

[@KacperNoe]

Looks amazing. Considering it to be my first FPV drone

[@LensCaptureOnline]

Great review. Your opinion is always welcomed.

[@johnramos2342]

Great video, once I get more experience flying my Mini SE2, this might be the next drone I purchase

[@coutlaw3664]

Once again a very informational video. I really use your reviews and a few others to make high dollar item purchases. Thank you

[@jfab6933]

Well explained! Thanks for sharing your view on Avata 2.

[@Standing_Wolf]

Thank you for the update. I will be definitely getting it. Question I have is. Will the new goggles and motion 3 work with the Avata 1 ?

[@dndcline]

Your the go to guy for my drone purchase decisions. Thank you for the awesome content.

[@camerongalego126]

It’s small but have a really good personality

[@bobtruck1594]

The only good use for passthrough is just to quickly check yoir surrounding for anyone creeping up on you or animals. Also... check your phone and send texts without taking off the goggles. Think if we get a wider fov... then we wonder be able to use for phone reading? But yeah... it is narrow. I would like it at maybe 35mm instead of the 55mm its in

[@arronlandrum1243]

Thanks Russ, really enjoy your content.

[@shawnsps]

As usual, Great feedback. Thank you.

[@marshmanagementllc2267]

Thank you for the information, it was helpful as I am looking to purchase my first drone.
