DJI Avata Fly App Walkthrough - A Simple Tutorial for Beginners

[@timleonard4822]

Russ, thank you. We are going flying tomorrow and this overview has been so, so, helpful. Happy landings.

[@verthdronedji7609]

Excellent! I´m a brazilian guy and bought the Avata recently, this video help me a lot! Thank you!

[@bradleyeburne6033]

Can’t tell you how long I’ve been looking for a simple explanation like this!

[@tonyahartz]

Thank you Man. Super helpful and you are very quick and concise. Much appreciated.

[@Leonardokite]

Awesome walkthrough of the app. Thanks Russ!!!! I'm so close to pulling the trigger on this fine man toy!!!

[@dannyw777]

Great Video!! DJI's software changes from vehicle to vehicle! these type of videos help so much to refresh just where and what the settings are on my different devices and drones. Again wonderful help, your the Best!!

[@KevinKipper]

Great information! I actually scale the display down so I can see all of it in my Integra Goggles.

[@pokenfun]

Russ, you mentioned Liftoff as a training resource. I’d like to check in out. Is that an app? Didn’t see it in the Apple App Store. Thanks

[@mikepi660]

THANKS for the tip, how to slow down the video,, some people talk way to fast,,,, ALL the rest is great too,, Just bought a Avata,, will use your videos to set it up, fly,, Thanks again,,,

[@Jakethetechnicalenthusiast]

Awesome video man I was sitting there going through my menus and then I got a error message regarding drone overheating, is that okay or how can I avoid this?

[@robertrobert5188]

thanks for that slow down gear icon tip! No one has shown he this before

[@robertrobert5188]

Thanks, Russ. Not sure how to go about collecting that prize. I am not really very tech savvy. Just got lucky on the slow down thing. Doesn't matter though - the knowledge you have imparted to me is worth more than any present I might receive.

[@dondupuis4007]

Russ, at some point can show us how to set up the avata with the standard pfv controller with the v2 goggles? Just a thought.

[@wirbscher]

NeueFirmware installieren, dann neu Binden. Avata, RC 4 sekunden drücken und warten…

[@Jim1Black]

Good morning Russ In the video you mentioned on changing from normal mode to sport made but you didn’t say how using the Motion controller.

[@SgtJamesRay]

There is a button on top that is marked

[@Tymothic]

Question, does starting the video recording from the goggles simultaneously start the video recording onto the drone micro sd card?

[@AkumaQiu]

Thanks for this awesome walk through

[@jamiehill9578]

when using the goggles 2 ,,, do you gotta plug into phone and what about the integra goggles do u gotta plug those to phone to when flying the avater

[@donpodlas5546]

Thank you so much for the great info on the Avata. I'm new to this. So, everything has to be powered on, drone, goggles and motion controller before any adjustments can be made in the goggles, right?? I really do appreciate you laying this out so even I can understand it!

[@Kevin_Lin1991]

Do you know how we can transfer video directly from dji avata to iPhone ? Or any idea to transfer to iPhone ? I tried using PC and iTunes, it doesn’t work for me .

[@Pavara_Senvidu]

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

[@stardrone]

I just purchased a refurbished Avata from Best Buy and am trying to figure out how to do screen recording. I need to do this to make a video to send to DJI for them to view and allow me to get the DJI Refresh. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA

[@managerofthenewportplumses301]

Hi Russ - this was a terrific video and very useful. May I suggest you consider doing a thorough review like this of all the settings for the Mavic 3 as there is nothing comprehensive like this for that drone that I have found on KZbin. Also, one issue I wanted your feedback on (and might be worthy of another video) is how the auto RTH works with this drone and how it can be over rode since there are no sensors on this drone like the other DJI drones (e.g., Mavic 3). I was just flying under trees and it started to go into auto return to home and would crash if I didn't override by holding the left stick down. How do you handle this situation - i.e., when it starts the auto return and you know that it will run into things? Again, terrific content - thank you for doing this!

[@WildBillPaylaker]

I know this is off subject but, you seem to have a lot of knowledge, will a Mavic 2 controller work with mini se?. I am subscribed thx

[@WildBillPaylaker]

don't know how to contact you, at that link you sent me, is that e mail address?

[@ScottLaRue]

Did you notice you only had one channel in the Transmission manual setting. Supposedly there is only 1 channel for CE mode and 3 for FCC mode. If this isn't the case how does one know what mode they are in. I have the same thing while living in the US and when I added the FCC sd card hack I now have 3 channels.

[@caesarsride7329]

Just an fyi I was watching another video on the mini 3 and the focus button I believe is for automatically focusing on the subject in view something the mini 3 didn’t do until after an update. For example if you’re drone is focused on the scenery in the distance and you get in front of the drone it should refocus on you and back again after you move out of the way. Hope this helps.

[@SgtJamesRay]

The focus is for when the signal is getting weak. Rather than trying to do the hole screen it just tries to keep the center updated. Which will make the outer parts pixel more.

[@davidmcmanus8148]

So I couldn't select D like Cinema from Goggle settings and I'm not sure why this wasn't working for me... Hope it's a weird glitch

[@1snapdog]

Well done. The one question is the quality of the photos?

[@51Drones]

They are ok. Not wall hangers, but great for sharing

[@eagleeyeproductions2317]

Hi Russ, great overview. I did have a question though. Is the only way to record video in the goggles is to push the button in the menu, or will it record in the drone and the goggle when you push the record button on the controller?

[@51Drones]

Yep. Records on both with the controller

[@skylineproductionz2965]

Do you know if it’s possible to take pictures in raw format?

[@janakaabesinghe443]

how I can remove the icons on video when I export the video

[@RomeoView323]

Hey Russ , to ad to my previous comment /question… I read a comment from a group on this matter . It says “ Is your DJI CONTROLLER paired and registered to a DJI FPV frame ? There seems to be quite a few hidden requirements for the controller to work that have to do with the frame itself. It won’t work without it “. - It’s that one of the problems or something else ??? Again thank you !

[@SgtJamesRay]

I have two FPV drones. I got the Avata only and linked one of the controllers and my FPV's motion controller to it. No mus and very little fuss.

[@MaximusBlaze710]

This was a helpful video but I’m still not sure how to view the video I took from my Avata on the fly app

[@srencanto]

HI ! where can i change the codecs?

[@leonardgleicher]

Thank you so much. Excellent review!

[@willay747]

Thanks great video

[@RomeoView323]

Hello Russ , this the first time I comment on this channel… I subscribed to it since I got my MAVIC 2 PRO late 2018 and watched everything on it from you Kyle and some others… I got the MINI 3 PRO very early this year and also watched all you had on it . I’m getting the AVATA delivered at the end of this week. I already got the DJI FPV REMOTE 2 last week and would like to practice with the LIFTOFF SIMULATOR (eventually with the DJI VIRTUAL APP) but I can get it to connect with LIFTOFF ??? When I open the calibration window for my controller, I launch the calibration and when I have to center joysticks it just doesn’t work . It’s not responding. I click on “Use current center” but nothing happens. It doesn’t go to the next step. The computer and LIFTOFF recognize the HID interface but can’t go further than the centering joystick calibration. Please, do you have a solution ? LIFTOFF is very hard to rich out to … Thank you

[@SgtJamesRay]

Did you know DJI has there free sim up and working on andriod now? It will sim both the FPV and Avata even if you don't own both.

[@samavella8831]

Great Video and thank you for the detailed info. I do have a few questions: (1) Can you stream your live video to your DJI APP on your phone? and (2) Just for clarification, does the Avata Fly App gets updated through a firmware or on its own? Thanks.

[@SgtJamesRay]

Well I know one of those. 1 yes you can. I'm trying to do it with the data overlay but I can get it to show with just the vid like it does with the FPV drone

[@samavella8831]

@@SgtJamesRay Thank you for getting back to me.

[@lynsmith1096]

Good tutorial Russ

[@SDVHILzseriolih]

im having issues where it never seems to save anything even tho it seems to be recording when im flying. but later when i look on the sd card it has nothing on it. multiple flights have done this and its extremely annoying.

[@SgtJamesRay]

Have you ever gotten a recording out of it? You may have to check to see if it recorded to the drone's internal storage. Also check the settings to see that it's recording to the SD card and not just the goggles or internal storage.

[@blue-balance]

If you're using the motion controller, perhaps you are accidentally hitting the little record button with your thumb and inadvertantly turning off the recording. I'm new to drones and Avata, and I've made that mistake a few times already without realizing it.

[@droneflyernick]

Well presented.

How to shoot in slow motion?

[@rosscowdell9986]

Hi Russ, how do I get rid of an amber message in my goggles "Aircraft not connected to DJI Fly"? I'm not using a phone, and don't want to.

[@51Drones]

It won’t fly without it

[@SgtJamesRay]

@@51Drones What do you mean? I almost never fly mine with a phone? I only use one when I'm showing someone the screen and most of the time I use my second set of goggles

[@51Drones]

@@SgtJamesRay Well, I learned something new today. I had no idea you could fly without using the app. I don't have a message that says that, so I'm not sure how to disable it, sorry.

[@SgtJamesRay]

@@51Drones Lol I don't have it ether and I don't have it connected. I can also fly my mavic without my app.

[@SgtJamesRay]

I have the old V-2 goggles. I can't seem to get the video to record with the telemetry on it with the goggles. I see that it's being done. How do I do it?

[@kurtzFPV]

There is a .srt file recorded with each video file. Keep that in the same folder and turn on closed captioning when you play the file.

[@SgtJamesRay]

@@kurtzFPV I know that but how do I get it to show as it does in the goggle view? The Fpv drone will not output that view. I was told the Avata will but I've yet to see how. The srt file is what I use to do my overlays so I know how to make one. I'd just like to use one that I don't have to make.

[@kurtzFPV]

@@SgtJamesRay sorry. I misunderstood. And I don't know about the new goggles. Now I see what you are saying. Hopefully FPV.wtf will allow osd output when using digiview with our version of the goggles at some point.

[@SgtJamesRay]

@@kurtzFPV I'm using the old goggles and they say you can output that goggle overlay as shown. They just never say how. Their is suppose to be a setting in the new goggles but I don't have them. I guess it is done only with the new ones. Oh well. It may not be what I want but I guess I'll keep doing it the old fashion way. lol thanks for the try

I thought Max altitude was 400ft above the nearest structure? Not AGL.

[@hyprvoiton]

Good video, but the title is a tad misleading. I clicked the video to see if there was anything about the "Fly App" I didn't already know. As in the app for the phone. What you are explaining here is the goggle software, not the "Fly App".
