DJI AVATA | Learning How To Fly Manual With An FPV Drone From SCRATCH!?

[@Free_3.0]

Just starting this video. As an FPV enthusiast, can't wait to see how this goes. I can tell you I'm bummed it doesn't come with a regular controller.

[@anthonyarango8838]

Agree on the bummed about the controller. My friend just lent me his FPV Controller to practice until mine comes in next month. I literally tossed my motion controller in the closet and it’ll probably stay there forever hahahaha

[@tuerlich_fpv]

Still waiting the controller is in Germany available again. The motion controller sucks after a few time.

[@williamfryar2864]

@@anthonyarango8838 Agreed. I cant figure out how to launch it with the FPV Controller. Whats the take off procedure?

[@speliotis]

thank you for taking us along - very inspirational... You put in the time & it paid off last flight was epic...

[@OriginaldoBo]

Good job Peter!!!! Looking smooth as butter

[@PeterLindgren1]

Definitely getting there. Still far away from your smoothness 😎

[@OriginaldoBo]

@@PeterLindgren1 you were born to fly.. see what I did there 😎

[@PatrickRambles]

This was great, Peter!

[@nojusticenopeace8717]

Hello Mate cool video and I am on the same situation as you were. Can you please answer my question…How did you ended up having liftoff or any other Sim. from windows/ Microsoft installed in your Mackbook pro!?? I have only training DJI simulator, but I would love to download that Sim to my mackbook pro, so I could try a better and different simulators thanks.

[@LegatDeClujLDC]

The Haapoja brothers must be proud of You. You did good and You are lucky DJI loves You.

[@postandfly]

Bro great video as always, i am doing the same hours and hours in the simulator with the Avata i feel inspired to be a good FPV pilot. Best regards drom Mexico.

[@James-ln6li]

Did you pick up the whole Avata bundle or did you just order the fpv controller? Im considering just buying the fpv controller now, practicing on the simulator then ordering the Avata later.

[@pupstudio]

My Avata explorer combo, 3 extra batteries, hard shell case just came in 10 minutes ago. I’ve been watching zillions of videos on FPV, and yours here has motivated me to buy the remote controller for super manual flight. I also will obtain liftoff and practice as you did. This video has got me more excited to go into manual without the motion controller more than any others! Thanks for the push I needed!

[@TheSlipperySlope]

Those river shots in Iceland were super sick!!!

[@itsamemario720]

Learning and getting entertained at the same time! Thank you for sharing your experience. Thrilled for my own DJI Avata maiden flight! Let’s do this!!!

[@renehermenau]

Wow, what a great studio! Haven't watched you for a long time and only know your old one. Amazing interior and style. Cheers buddy

[@PeterLindgren1]

It’s definitely developed since the last place!

[@tekpiksapasifika3494]

GREAT VIDEO PETER...COME VISIT SOLOMON ISLANDS SOON!

[@hml]

Did you at least replace the propeller before flying outside? 😅

[@Milledge.Austin]

That was awesome. I started trying to learn on a BetaFPV Cetus Pro and wasn't really a fan. Plus, the goggles stopped working. I need to do some simulator training, and I want to get back to learning.

[@gigihanmandarin]

Wow you are such a good pilot now! Good job Peter! Now show us some good Sony FX30 goodness!

[@StantonLuke]

That last run! Epic!!

[@PeterLindgren1]

So much practice to be done still!

[@OakleefMoto]

Incredible! Need to get more time in the sim. Well done Peter!

[@AndreasSando]

Awesome flying Peter, looked amazing! 🤩 Really entertaining video to watch as well, makes wanna try an FPV drone so bad! 😄

[@YonnBurgos]

I got the Avata and did some test flying in the city (not open space), flying it in tight places and I have to say the DJI Avata was unable to stand wind conditions from 10-15mph to make it through spaces where I needed it. However, it was great to fly it indoors. DJI FPV is still my go to drone to fly it in the city!

[@nes.torfernandez]

As someone that has been flying and building FPV drones for bit now I liked the avata for what it is, a cinewhoop. The range and reliability was always good from DJI. Unfortunately I can’t say the same about the first version the FPV drone with the bad camera built in. Pete yes the new avata definitely is better build but still not fully user replaceable, it doesn’t Matt how hard or build or your drone FPV always comes with crashes and we should be able to repair or replace the parts by ourselves and that’s not quite possible being this my negative point about the avata

[@paulcain548]

Whoa. FPV looks so much fun 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

[@Free_3.0]

Very cool. Welcome to FPV. I wonder what angles you'll be able to pull from having full control of the craft.

[@PeterLindgren1]

Oh it’s gonna be FUUUUN

[@noilkrad]

I'm so proud of you! Welcome to the FPV family, Peter! 35 hours in simulator is the minimum before real manual flight. Wanna try with real drone now? :) I mean not DJI, but real FPV drone like Cinelog25/35 or Nazgul Evoque or Diatone Roma F5 v2 or smth like that.

[@PeterLindgren1]

Honestly, no. I’m good with the DJI drones. Don’t have any interest at all to build or fix my own drones 😅

[@jgreg95]

@@PeterLindgren1 its too late you've already had a taste, the addiction just hasn't kicked in yet. With a larger controller and at least one of the two Cinelogs25/35 as was mention I feel almost certain you'd fly them better than even the Avata. I do love my Avata for what it is though.

[@joeyj.425]

@@PeterLindgren1 not yet

[@StantonLuke]

Did you unscrew the tension spring on the left (throttle stick) that will help with throttle control. Great work!!

[@PeterLindgren1]

Yup!

[@StantonLuke]

@@PeterLindgren1 sweet! I’m only half way through the video. Keep at it! The best advice I got was when flying through gates don’t look at them, look at the path and the next gate, like a slalom skier! You got this.

[@PeterLindgren1]

Yeah I agree, the path through is more important than the hurdles lol!

[@takeone22]

great video! but why you didn't put the shot of the crash ??? please show it

[@alexhh3646]

Great Video. Thx. I like the small camping chair. Any link.. where I can get it? Greets

[@jontehaglund]

Good job Peter! Amazing video. I love when you unfold the chair, that one got me 😂

[@PeterLindgren1]

Hahaha its sooo good to have a chair like that in the trunk 😂

[@elihennessy]

Super useful video Peter I really want to get into fpv but it’s either expensive or hard

[@SparaCash]

Thumbnailen 12/10 😆 man blir bra fundersam över hur annorlunda det måste vara o flyga FPV än "vanligt"! Riktigt bra rulle, keep it up ännaaa

[@elihennessy]

Hey Peter how come you shoot 4k 60 instead off 24

[@Haven_games]

This makes me so hyped to pick one up. Great video!

[@PeterLindgren1]

So much fun!

[@JordanKyle]

Been obsessed with fpv for years but the avata is my first step into the space. Been in the simulator for a couple days now and it’s so encouraging to see I’m not the only one going “woahhhh woap yep other way…” 🤣🤣🤣

[@cs8photo4]

Hi Jordan. I'm having a hard time getting connected to simulator or this game using the avatar remote. Is there a trick? Any advise appreciated!!

[@dazafilms3495]

I been waiting for this video since the release of Avata. I can’t wait to hear your personal opinion about the product.

[@AKIHIMSELFSCHOOLOFMUSIC]

epic video...

No one gets as much use out of a single song or t-shirt as Peter 🖤

How helpful was liftoff vs the virtual simulator by DJI?

Coming a separate video on my thoughts!

You don't know how much this inspires me

Thank you for checking out Liftoff and congratulations on the fantastic flight results! :)

[@elwoodgaming7652]

[@PeterLindgren1]

Thanks! Nope, it’s all stock!

[@Jimmiehammarstrom47]

@@PeterLindgren1 Damn! thats great! maybe I should get into fpv then! 😅

[@wavesummit]

I would love to see you build your own drone, it's a lot simpler than you think, and now that you have dji goggles, you would just need to pick a frame, motors, a flight controller/esc stack and a vista unit. (Still waiting to hear if the v2 goggles will be backwards compatible)

[@rcmore7871]

Not really. Those goggles are locked from other custom drones at this time. DJI 👎🏻👎🏻😔

[@PeterLindgren1]

Sounds dope, don’t wanna do it though. It’s too much work for so little reward. I’m more of a fan when things just work!

[@Free_3.0]

To be honest, as a sponsored pilot who has built many over the years... It's not for everyone. And though I don't know if I can turn back permanently, I will likely pick this up too, as my life is much busier than when I first started in FPV.

[@MariusIhlar]

And learn to solder. And learn how lipos work. And learn how chargers work. And learn how beta flight works. And how to program a controller. And an Fc. And how to tune. And what props to use. And how to sync goggles......

[@luiscarlosjayk]

I've just got my Avata, hasn't flied it yet, hope to have the time this weekend. Where can I get the simulator? Is it available for Mac?

[@jgreg95]

Looks pretty good. The Avata is a little loose feeling to me and I fly FPV allot, so you're doing well. I wish you could add a little more tension to the flight sticks (throttle side), but we got what we have. I think you will be even more pleased with your video if you use Gyroflow and some lens filters. Gyroflow is a free download, you will have to change a couple of setting in the goggles (not hard) the app will let you know which ones. It works really fast. It will smooth out your footage for a more cinematic feel. Look forward to seeing your progression.

[@elvismaldonado2631]

there is no need for gyroflow, it has rocksteady as well as horizonsteady. And you can stabilize in post

[@jgreg95]

@@elvismaldonado2631 maybe it’s a matter of preference but I personally prefer Gyroflow over RockSteady. I think Gyroflow for more cinematic feel and maybe Rocksteady for more of a stabilized freestyle feel.

[@petersiberg1330]

Imponerande! Well done! 👍

[@PeterLindgren1]

Thanks buddy!

[@quattroesp]

Hi So 4k 60fps rocksteady is better ?

[@mcronfpv8736]

the Avata is definitly not a bad drone, DJI knows how to do this thing.... Thanks for being honest about the time you invested, that you had to take it seriously and everything. Lots of influencers like you just skip this part and make people believe they'll fly great with no effort. That last flight was nice... You can do some good basic proximity flying now, but at that speed, one crash and your shiny Avata is going back to "who knows where" to get "fixed" . That kind of flight with a 5 inch freestyle fpv drone : you can crash all day at that speed. And that's where the progression curve starts to change : DJI RTF pilots will reach the plateau where everytime they want to push, they'll break, while "hobby fpv" pilots will be able to push every time they go fly for fun.

[@davejalenderki]

How much flight time did you have between the first flight and when you made this video. Thanks for sharing your experience.

How does the FPV drone change your content creation plans? Currently on the fence about getting the AVATA or the Mini Pro 3. What are your honest suggestions for an up and coming content creator?

If you don't own a drone at all, I would've gone with de Mavic Mini 3. The Avata is more of a extra drone than a main drone.

Thank you!

[@UncensoredAkey]

9:13 the shot slows down and moves frame by frame, why so? lack of optical flow or something else?

[@PeterLindgren1]

It's a difference of framerates between the camera and the timeline. Timeline is set to 25fps yet the camera is recorded at 60 fps. Playing back a 60fps clip on a 25fps timeline means that you have to skip x amount of frames in order to get it to play in real time. Slowing it down to half (30fps) means that it skips 5fps each second, hence the "Jumping" in the footage.

[@jonnykernizan4572]

You didn't state what laptop you used lol...if you can add it to the link...I'm looking for one to practice Sims...please and thank u
