A little over a thousand bucks ain't bad you get what you paid for and I think that would be worth it

[@PJCookAC-130]

Ken, do you have an affiliate link for the AVATA Stand alone?

[@gaoosed]

Thanks!

[@gaoosed]

Great Intel I own two Dji Fpvs and you answered the questions I would ask, Great video footage, how does recording footage compare to viewing footage thru new goggles?

[@dondupuis4007]

Thanks! Great job with the avatar, been following you for a while, time to say thank you.

[@OriginaldoBo]

Don thanks man! Really appreciate you

[@Unamatrix01]

The capture video from the Avata's camera looks fantastic. From the reviews that I have read and viewed on KZbin, DJI applied everything that they learned from the original DJI FPV drone and implemented that knowledge into the design of the Avata.

[@leonardguenther7384]

With footage quality and flight performance, this drone is looking incredible!

[@michaelgilbert4005]

Thank you for this review, I was on the fence and was waiting to hear your thoughts. As always, you're the man when it comes to drones.

[@QCGUY]

I’m glad to see the flight time you got and the camera looks great. Good piloting buddy 👊🏻

[@MurdersFPV]

At the very least, this drone looks like the perfect exploration tool. There are many reasons why we fly FPV(freestyle, racing, etc) but one of the biggest reasons I fell in love was for the pure fact that I can go places and see things in a way I would have never been able to otherwise. Sold like a mf.

[@Akinto710]

Sounds like a dream, but then i live in the EU where you need to be able to see your drone at all times, so you are insanely limited.

[@MurdersFPV]

@@Akinto710 I'm looking forward to this part 108 certification that will allow for bvlos operations. Sounds like FPV might finally be "legit" here in the States.

[@simp502]

Such a fun flight! Smooth, stable and you flew it so well especially in a few tight spaces. DJI did twice an amazing job on their FPV this time.

[@realhumannotarobot6631]

Great to know that this drone does not disappoint. Would be thrilled to fly one!

[@KeyLargoDude]

👏🏻 awesome! I’m thinking of getting one as my first FPV later this year 😄

[@retromodernart4426]

Great review and footage, the stabilization and color balance are outstanding.

[@SeanOzz]

i hope they get the same foam one as the other set up soon, did you see if that version fits with some cutting?

[@OriginaldoBo]

You and me both

[@RichardWait]

Looks really good! Great flying!

[@el6594]

That was soo soothing to watch! Thank you for sharing 🔥

[@Pavara_Senvidu]

Do u like the dji fpv drone or dji avata the most???

[@OriginaldoBo]

I like the Avata more

[@Pavara_Senvidu]

@@OriginaldoBo cool

[@anthonysmith9864]

Do the goggles work with the mavic 3 for viewing flight? Can you watch anything through them? And Does the avata record sound? Thought I heard the fpv drone records audio. Thanks bro. On a side note would you recommend the fpv over the avata with prop guards maybe for a new flyer?

[@WR3ND]

Gave me F-Zero vibes on the track. Pretty cool.

[@kuramakun84]

Well I’ve made up my mind this is the drone I will be buying! Thanks for the review it was awesome!

[@KellDogg1965]

After seeing the video of these new goggles, are we still comparing HD Zero, walksnail, fatshark images to DJI?

[@jonathan-f4i6u]

Awesome video. I wish I could see the raw footage in its HD glory before the youtube compression has its way with it! How would you rate the 4k video and the 1080p goggle footage before the compression hits it? Any chance we could get a file upload of a snippit of the raw video and DVR foootage? Regardless thanks for this awesome example of the Avata's capabilities.

[@Kana7782]

Did DJI discontinue the remote that you used in this video? I only see the stick remote being sold with it now

[@nmfireman]

How do you get it to takeoff in manual mode from the get-go. On the original FPVDJI drone, I could never figure out. Seems like you had to flip it into manual while you were flying which required you to hold the sticks at center for a certain period of time. I do not like this particular drawn and sold it right away. But I did get me into FPV

[@sergioziroga4184]

Hello can I use this avata drone with the Big DJI FPV Remote Controller? The one I fly with the Air unit? The Big One?

[@ruirodrigues9122]

Hey Ken, any chance you are going to compare this to the DJI FPV with the GoPro...like GoPro 10 vs Avata camera quality?

[@ruirodrigues9122]

Never mind, saw the new video you just posted

[@OriginaldoBo]

Already have

[@jd2161]

Youre a good pilot. Making it look easy

[@fopp1]

Can you show us the difference in flight with the new goggles and the v2 goggles?

[@OriginaldoBo]

Yep tomorrow

[@droneflyernick]

I’m sold, but just on the Quad atm. Ken, since the new goggles have live-stream capabilities would you be willing to live-stream w/ the quad?

[@OriginaldoBo]

I’ll give it a try

[@JoeCoachTV]

It's a nice flight. I also really like Avatar. Thanks for the great review!

[@dondupuis4007]

Should of hid out with the turkeys, the knew to get out of the sun😳 great video, loved it.

[@MarcoAntonio_72]

Hey Ken...great video!! that Goggle footage...did they add the DVR recorded telemetry on just the new googles or can you now do it on the v2s?

[@OriginaldoBo]

That’s how the new telemetry is, sorta shocked me when I saw it

[@greghfpv8415]

Awesome review mate👍👍👍

[@yannic2248]

Did you use the FCC mode or the CE mode that europeans have to use?

[@jeffchilders236]

I love the new drone that would be good for hunters to look through the woods or their fields for deer just like you seen the turkeys wow that is so cool thanks man for showing us and sharing your experience with this drone

[@lynsmith1096]

Good first flight Ken. I have ordered the Avarta.

[@DocmurdocFPV]

Ken I think this will probably be the go to rig for those doing business fly-throughs and the like. The flight time is the biggest draw as well as the horizon lock. Great flight review Ken. 👍

[@OriginaldoBo]

I agree with you Doc

[@SultanBudiman]

amazing view. nice video guys. thank you

[@notfound379]

Dude. I subbed after the turkeys. I am sick and tired of seeing drone shots of painted deserts, sea cliffs, mountains, professional's on bikes, on motorcycles, with f'ing wingsuits, derelict ships and all the other crap I will never, ever, ever, ever encounter. I want those turkey moments, the things that I'm likely to see. It was delightful to see something unexpected and fun. (I'll admit I'm also tired of all the damn playground equipment vids .... but even that is more my use case.) Thanks for being original!

[@karelnovak8343]

Nice flight and review thanks! Nice to see Mbps bandwidth in glasses, but is that something what can be activated in previous Goggles V2?

[@OriginaldoBo]

Yes it’s in the new firmware 😎

[@SunriseWaterMedia]

If you had gone down in the weeds, is there a beeper that can be turned on to help find it?

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Those turkeys 🦃 must of got a great deal on that house. Zillow should have mentioned the occasional drone flyby’s. They looked a little caught off guard. Dope first flight video 😎👍

[@kccrimefighterreviewscrime6094]

If you get this drone is it a way to screen record the footage with you phone???

[@OriginaldoBo]

Yes

[@kccrimefighterreviewscrime6094]

@@OriginaldoBo I use all the other DJ I drones to film crime scenes and get tips to solve crimes. I’m wondering should I add this drone to me arsenal.

Thanks for answering my question sir👍🏿

[@ciloeis]

Nice video! One question, like in the DJI FPV, did you feel more or less drift from the drone?

[@OriginaldoBo]

More control less sliding in corners

[@ciloeis]

@@OriginaldoBo Nice because on the DJI FPV there was some massive drifting when attempting fast turns.

[@PrazTek]

Hello, any issues flying in manual mode with the latest firmware update, flips , rolls , quick turns etc. Lots of reports of it going berserk and falling to earth. I've experienced similar and will be sticking with normal and sport mode until it gets hopefully addressed. Thanks

[@OriginaldoBo]

No issues

[@Time2FLYAlDiaz]

If they had a bundle with just v2 remote, goggles and the Avata. I would've pulled the trigger, unfortunately the motion controller isn't enough for me to consider. Well done! Ken

[@thrumyeyesphoto]

Agreed! It's kind of a strange combination. I have no interest in the motion controller. Surprised they don't have a bundle with just the controller, but I'm sure they think people will just buy it separately.

[@nmfireman]

I couldn’t find anybody that had the controller in stock. Otherwise I would have done the same. I did not like the other controller on the original FPV drone. I ended up selling it now I wished I would’ve kept it just for the radio

[@FangsCPO]

I purchased my FPV Contoller from a place called Pictureline. It's a photography store. Out the door it was $197. I don't care for the motion controller either.

[@Nine_883]

I am surprised and disappointed there is no radio in any of the bundles. The radio is sold out on the DJI store right now. I would like to see how it works with that motion controller before I make a decision.

[@BaqPaqJaq]

Hiya, great video! I thought I’d pop by and check out your channel after spotting you in the live chat on DroneNation today. I’ve just hit subscribe to your channel too. I’m really looking forward to getting my Avata, I’ve got a Mavic Pro Platinum so it’ll be my first intro to FPV.

[@Abdi_Mohamed_]

Kind of feel like i should have held off the MINI 3 PRO and got this instead. I think FPV is the way to go nowadays for areal shots

[@kccrimefighterreviewscrime6094]

I’m thinking about just getting the drone & the motion controller to film crime scene with to help get tips to solve them. Can you download footage from the drone to social media or your phone. If so how can you do that???

[@PJCookAC-130]

Great review. LOVE the Turkey scenes too! I am sure the goggles wouldn't have light leaks on my Fat Head! LOL

[@koen2529]

Great video. A quick question: can you fly sideways and/or backwards with that controller paired to the Avata?

[@OriginaldoBo]

Yep can fly all the directions my friend

[@koen2529]

@@OriginaldoBo Great, much obliged. I called a dealer yesterday and they told me that a) that controller was not compatible and b) an Avata can only fly forward. You're the real pro (and you have some serious flying skills btw :-)!)

[@srandall31]

That was all flown in manual mode? Awesome job! I just ordered it. I've never flown an FPV drone, but have flown Inspire 2 and Mavic 2 Pro over past 6 years. Would you recommend flying the simulator for manual? Do you think it will make that much difference flying the sim?

[@anthonymediaz]

Bro how is ur experience so far? U bought it?

[@srandall31]

@@anthonymediaz I’ve only flown it once and it was alright. I need to give it more of a chance though especially since I dropped $2000 on it. I just haven’t had a need for it and haven’t taken the time to fly it.

[@dmcgrawbicycleguy3406]

Big thanks for the info happy flying 😊

[@insurancemann1]

You found the secret turkeys! Fun video but I just can’t go back down to 11 minute flight times and the fact that it does not come with a regular remote control is a dealbreaker for me. V3 might be the one.

[@INTELMAXELL]

Hey Ken thanks for the video. I have a silly question. Do you have the option to put like a center crosshair when you fly? Thanks again.

[@OriginaldoBo]

Yes you can

I bought the mini 3 pro in July and love it. I had the phantom 4 drone since 2016. Just sold it on eBay for $600. I bought the FPV mid August and haven’t flown it yet but looking forward to flying it. I also ordered the avata lol. I want to use the avata and mini 3 pro for video projects. The FPV will be just for fun. A lot invested, hopefully the total tech covers any issues I may have for the 2 years all my drones are covered 🤓👍🏻

[@amandaburleson2035]

dude you dont even fly them enough

[@beedroneinsta]

Ken how did you connect the fpv controller to the goggles and the drone. The controller is not connecting when you follow the steps on the DJI fly app off the iPhone

[@OriginaldoBo]

I long press power button on the RC than the controller but make sure it’s on the latest firmware

[@beedroneinsta]

@@OriginaldoBo how do I update the firmware on the controller??

[@miasteczko8323]

Its possible to lock exposure on dji avata? Or its must be auto always?

[@100mphClub]

This is my question as well. I could see if you locked exposure then went into a dark area, say a barn, perhaps you couldn't see? One of the downfalls of having the filming camera and the navigation camera being the same thing, I suppose. With my old Mavic Air 1, I'm often tapping the screen to lock exposure.

[@bobwhitewo3b]

I am going to start calling you "Wrong Way Ken" running that race course backwards.

[@LeCarroReynolds]

Do we need a license or geofencing unlock to fly?

[@OriginaldoBo]

You just need common sense

[@chris___howland___photography]

it looks like a cool little drone. I fly camera drones (air 2s) but I'm curious about fpv. It seems like this one would work really well for a 107 pilot doing Real estate. Looks like is has excellent penetration. The price point might scare off some (myself included) . As always, awesome video. Your no nonsense, tell it like it is approach is a breath of fresh air compared to other reviewers who you can tell are fan boys.

Nice flight Ken! Plenty of Avatas in the stores here. Can pick one up now but i think i will skip this one. Dont think i will fly a lot of fpv lately. In that case i cant justify paying 1429 euro for the combo view and another 249 euro for two extra batteries. But the drone certainly looks nice.
