DJI Avata Accessories - Enhancing the Experience

[@MrEddieNunez]

Look at this professional KZbinr! Top down unboxing with a comprehensive review. This guy must be a New Yorker.

[@LensCaptureOnline]

🤣🤣🤣 IYou're my role model dude!!! New Yorker for Life!!! 🤣🤣🤣

I added the same battery guard to mine. I bumped the ground once and had one pop out. I found it easily enough, but I have had other minor crashes where I used the beeping to find it, and you don't want to lose a battery when it's in the bushes. Great video!

[@LensCaptureOnline]

Losing a battery in midair is catastrophic, but losing it after a catch definitely slows down recovery or worse. This battery guard gives me piece of mind. It is also why my Avata is skinned in bright yellow. Much easier to find if it goes down. Thanks for taking the time to watch Jeff!

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Tom! Great job. I got my eye on that battery anti-release buckle 🤔. ✌️😎

[@LensCaptureOnline]

Thanks so much Stevy! The fit is definitelyt snug. So far, so good.

[@Time2FLYAlDiaz]

I like that battery clip. Thanks for the share, Tom.

[@LensCaptureOnline]

Al, thanks for watching!

[@Bollibompa]

Pretty sweet video bro!

[@ilhamismail2908]

thanks for the video, i purchase it right away

[@bugmanmd1576]

Thanks very much for your well-organized video. Very well done review. Guess I'll have to both of those things. By the way forget about the protection. Your Avata just LOOKS great! Question - do your accessories make it more difficult to fit in your case?

[@LensCaptureOnline]

Thanks so much for the kind words. I had no issue with fitting the modified Avata into the original case, which I still use to house my drone.

[@bugmanmd1576]

​@@LensCaptureOnline Wow, great disappointment - just got my StartRC Gimball bumper - and it is TERRRRRRIBLE !!! Sticks WAY out to the front of the Avata, so that it obstructs > 1/8 of the view on each side of the camera, together obstructing > 1/4 of the field of view. Doesn't matter if you adjust normal, wide, or ultra views. Doesn't matter if 4:3 or 16:9. This thing is awful. Not your fault of course - looks like they clearly have two different versions of this thing. Got mine at Amazon through your link. and it sticks out 3/4" infront of the drone frame - your version seems to stick out only 1/4" or so. Just thought I'd mention it for others . My review and photos in Amazon at that link under my name "Bugman" -- but my experience is that often Amazon will not allow my uncomplimentary reviews - they'll probably not publish it. side image here ibb.co/0r84zf9

Hi Tom, great video. I have that same battery holder & love it. Bought it for the exact same reason. I was looking into a gimble protector just yesterday, happy I came across this video. Please remember to let me know when you'll be visiting NY again. Would love flying with you. You are the reason I ended up buying my Avata faster than I thought I would lolol

[@LensCaptureOnline]

Hi Deneen! The battery holder works nicely and the gimbal bumper has not caused any problems with flight time or video capture. Hope I will not actually get to test them in a crash! LOL The weather did not cooperate on my visit last week to NYC. UGH! We'll be back in late June in Upstate NY, not far from Hunter Mountain. Hopefully we can get together then with Eddie, Anthony and Stevy up there. Remember, if you're looking for some real adventures, DM me and head this way! 😁 Lovin' my Avata!

[@capturing_d_magic88deneen61]

@@LensCaptureOnline I ordered the gimble bumper from your link, should arrive Monday. I have crashed to the point of my battery ejecting but learning from other videos, I bought that a few days after receiving my Avata. If I'm not away, I'll definitely meet you fellas up there and yes, hopefully I can also head your way in the near future.

[@txarchdroneguy4731]

Thx, Tom, i just ordered both items; these two items appear to have minimal effect on flying; you can never have too much protection.

[@LensCaptureOnline]

Exactly the way I feel Mike. Thanks for taking the time to watch.

[@chriswedgworth]

Nice additions Love the color scheme

[@LensCaptureOnline]

I'm glad you like it Chris. So much easier to find, Plus the wife says it is much easier to track in the sky. She's my VO. 😁

[@SkeezyFPV]

I just ordered the battery retaining strap through your affiliate link. I needed the camera cage two months ago before I scratched the crap out of my lens but I think I might still order it. The battery strap is a must. DJI should be sending us those for free because the system they designed sucks and will just lead to a lost quad.

[@LensCaptureOnline]

The battery is a pretty tight fit when installed. So I was originally puzzled by others complaining about the battery ejecting. Of course, that changed quickly when it happened to me. DJI should definitely designed a much better positive latching system for this drone.

[@brettb613]

Where did you get the yellow skins for the Avata? Looks nice and I imagine it makes it easy to see while in flight.Thanks.

[@LensCaptureOnline]

You can get drone skins for the Avata from DecalGirl. Here's a link: www.decalgirl.com/skins/dji-avata-skins

[@sur-ronrides]

that's the 1 i wanted, but received the 1 on the box, long protector

[@ElPistyGamer]

Hello brother, thank you very much for your video but I have a question. I put all those accessories on my avatar and the longest it has lasted was 12 minutes. Is that correct? Just in normal mode without moving the drone.

[@LensCaptureOnline]

Thanks for taking the time to watch. I'm getting 13-14 minutes consistently with usually 20% battery remaining. Of course, in high winds, this is dramatically shorter.

[@ElPistyGamer]

@@LensCaptureOnline thanks so much 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@amazonmike4207]

Love the video, may I ask how is your experience or effect of the bumber guard you installed?

[@LensCaptureOnline]

Hi Mike. The bumper guard has not impacted flight time or performance.

[@Gliiitch305]

Gr8 vid pops

[@LensCaptureOnline]

Thanks!

[@Joe_Fotoleo]

Resubbed AGAIN! Great video Tom! Can't wait to get my hands on that bird.

[@LensCaptureOnline]

Thank so much Joe! Taking the Avata on our trip to the East Coast tomorrow. Hoping to get some shoreline shots with it.

[@Joe_Fotoleo]

@@LensCaptureOnline can't wait to see that!

[@SkeezyFPV]

Western New York here! Great video. Question: what’s that gimbal cage made of? 16 grams seems real heavy for aluminum. I have one on my potato that’s 100% saved my camera.

[@LensCaptureOnline]

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch. It appears to be and is advertised as an aluminum alloy. It is pretty solid and definitely confident it will keep the gimbal and camera safer. Luckily, the Avata lens can accommodate filters so I always have one on. That should protect it from any surface scratching.

[@LanceCadena]

great video. How often do you use your ND filters?

[@LensCaptureOnline]

Thanks! Out here in the southwest, I'm always flying with ND filters. During midday sun I use the ND32 and sometimes the ND64.

[@georgep.9014]

Bow much do all of the accesories weigh ? And how much is the flight time reduced with all of them on ?

[@LensCaptureOnline]

After numerous flights with the accessories, it appears I have lost less then a minute in flight time overall.

[@renscience]

Where do you get those yellow skins?

[@LensCaptureOnline]

DecalGirl sells a wide range of skins for drones to laptops to phones. I have been using them for almost 10 years and can vouch for their quality. For a discount go to: www.decalgirl.com/coupons/

[@highdesertbiker]

all you need now is 8 batteries

[@LensCaptureOnline]

😂 all ready up to 5 batteries!
