Is the DJI Avata still the best FPV offering from DJI after a year?
Jeff Sills flies it for the first time. His reaction is priceless.

If there is one thing one can learn for this video, That is never give Ken a picture of yourself.

[@SunriseWaterMedia]

So true!

[@philipandheather]

I am imaging Jeff rushing out to his bike to remove the sticker after watching this video. 😂

[@ShitPilotFPV]

Seeing Jeff get a taste of FPV was cool!

[@apriliajo5030]

That was great to see Jeff out in the wild! Great job flying Jeff! Keep us laughing, the World is a mess 🙆‍♂️

[@SunriseWaterMedia]

Your evil laugh at the end, Ken. 😅😂

[@Karbonkage]

…. Also love the ashtray and aircon on Jeff’s couch with wheels 😅

[@hitmakerzmedia]

I have an extra GoPro 10 that I might’ve used once. You can have it if you want. I appreciate your channel. 🥳🥳

[@KenHeron]

[@rrittenhouse]

That was so awesome! haha.

[@OneOfTheRobs]

SO COOL to see you 2 guys together. I think I'am becomming more a Jeff Sills fan then a Ken Heron fan.

[@hitmakerzmedia]

I love my Avata and my FPV but I’m ready for some upgraded releases!! 🥳🔥

[@z9ski690]

Very Entertaining, funny and informative video ❤❤❤

[@johnpftd]

Darn you Ken. I had been thinking the next one would be an Air 3. But now you’ve waived drone crack in my face again.

[@KenHeron]

HAAAA! Do it... All the cool kids are.

[@LovesM855A1]

Going in the beard made me kum Ken ty!! Smoking a cig now! ❤️

[@KenHeron]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🍑

[@JOEBlalock23]

I figured you would have been handing out Jeff stickers at #dronespinup did Jeff know 😂 awesome 😎

[@SunriseWaterMedia]

Haha

[@georgealexander2955]

I want one! I wish I had the money for it. Looks like alot of fun.

[@mikegregory8917]

Good video Ken. Great world we live in when people take cameras

[@headlight4141]

poor jeff, that was funny

[@peter360adventures9]

Awesome. The Avata is awesome.

[@princesfpvdrones]

Aaaah jeff!

[@camilo8cheryl]

I replaced mine with the 3 bladed MAS prop and the sound is more manageable than the screaming original props.. always love your vids Ken, lots of crazy humor😂

[@WestVirginiasBigred271]

Well ken it’s ironic that you posted this video today. I just ordered the Avata with motion 2 controller and goggles 2 and FPV controller 2. Can’t wait to fly it for the first time. It’s gonna be a great addition to my other 7 DJI drones

[@Dec1duousTree]

I watched 3 times for you, buddy!

[@KenHeron]

Thanks bud

[@ChainsawFPV]

His beard reminds me of Jeff Bridges in the movie R.I.P.D. Lol

[@bluesteeltraining]

Ken, you crack me up!!😂

[@InTheWoodsFPV]

Let's gofunme an avata for Jeff

[@DK-TechCorner]

Agree with your wacro mode experience, caused by the tiny gimbals on the remote and crazy default rates, get some extended sticks and lower their center sensetivity in Settings > Remote Controller > Gain & Expo and start with the lowest value 🙂👍

[@Reddragondesign]

Fun video, love my Avata

[@smakersify]

Just got one last week, so good for a travel drone.

[@KenHeron]

It really is!

[@YarosMallorca]

The avata is a fun drone! Recently got the Rotor Riot Skylite Cinewhoop and enjoying flying it! Heard that the avata has flaws in acro mode, personally never flew one so I can't say.

[@OffTheBucketList]

Fun, entertaining and educational.

[@20robob]

Good job Jeff✊

[@mattalford3932]

I like how he said shoot the gaps. Instantly gets nervous lol.

[@Lakecenterlawncare]

always entertaining!

[@sidneycooper]

I love you guys!

[@KenHeron]

Love you MORE!

[@panintegral4571]

I love trolling frinds with stickers

[@MarshallLando]

haha that was fun

[@jonsson_68]

Damn, i want a drone like this. looks so fun to fly (never flown or owned one) . but they r so expensive here in Sweden.

[@trapperjohn6089]

4:56 wave at the possible go pro thieves. 👋

[@punk_cinema]

Mine is being replaced by care refresh after having g it for 2 days

[@le_mew4519]

commenting to help get you a new camera

[@backyard3749]

I have lusted in my heart for that Avanta from first sight. Alas, all I have is the original Spark. Too old and social security income so I will never be able to afford one much less fpv. Sigh. Watching these vids is always a mixture of envy and despair. 😍😮‍💨

[@jamiehill9578]

Great video,, so using the avata with Goggles v2 do u have to plug in a phone

[@junito777r]

wow dude sorry about your camera, I just watched your video 3 times ;)

[@DesertAdventuresinArizona]

Awesome Beard! Lol

[@MrFadjule]

That looks like a fun spot to fly micros, where is it?

[@jeffsond]

Hi Ken, I’m looking for a link for DJI. I will be purchasing an Avata before Nov 28th. I see they have a 30% off sale right now. I think I will purchase the Avata pro view Combo for $999. Seem like that’s a pretty good price

[@corvineskytography]

Them kids. They took your camera. I feels it in my bones. *grumpy old man fist*

[@KenHeron]

Yup

[@jimb4169]

Have you seen the clip of the Avanta delivering a glass of beer?

[@airsnapshots]

Wow, never seen Jeff through a clear camera lens. Maybe we all need to pitch in to not only buy you a new GoPro but also a new webcam for Jeff that doesn’t look like a lubed condom screen protector 😉. Not picking on Jeff….love his news…just wish he had a better camera. 👍

[@doktorkalashnikov5327]

I really waaant one!! But …. What if…. HI! I where to buy a avata from the us, and import it here too europe? Then would i get it too fly with Max Range and max gh-band withd superduperreception an all the good US-stuff?

[@johncarold]

Hi Ken, what Jeff is real,and he can fly. He sold, I bet jeff stops by BestBuy on the way home. # Awesome beard. LOL

[@SunriseWaterMedia]

Barkley 😂

[@NorthsideHawk]

I’d be saying, hold my beer 🍺 How hard can it be!

[@SunriseWaterMedia]

😅

[@AddFilmmedia]

Hillarious!🤣🇸🇪

[@Helderhugo]

6:58 hahahah

[@mattalford3932]

I really want one, though, lol.

[@dji1tommy29]

Jeff in the actual flesh?

[@stevehorvat69]

Thanks for sharing Ken. Had my Avata for almost a year now. I have the motion controller. I don’t mind it but missing being able to fly backwards or sideways. Is it worth the $200 to get the controller that you use? Thanks.

[@BeautyBeastRC]

Its worth it but it's also 5x harder to fly in manual/acro mode, granted you don't have to fly in manual mode but if you don't plan on doing it then I think spending the 200 becomes a bit less worth it.

[@Fly_High_FPV]

Yes. Also the 2 stick controller will help you start building muscle memory that applies to all drones!

[@stevehorvat69]

@@Fly_High_FPV thanks Fly High. I already have 3 other DJI’s, so the sticks are what I’m used to. I really like the motion controller. Just wondering if the extra backwards and side to side movement capabilities are worth the added price.

[@Fly_High_FPV]

@stevehorvat69 for me, it's totally worth it to have 2 sticks. Might see ifnyou can find a remote used or refurbed, because $200 would get a high quality, long range FPV remote, Like at Tango2 Pro (for DIY FPV, mot DJI) Etiher way, the more stick time, the better

[@TeslafiedTrains]

Sorry about your camera, that sucks! Maybe you should grow a beard like that Ken!!! 😂

[@OneOfTheRobs]

#GTB

[@BreakWindDrone]

Why is the 'Barkley Landing' not good to do? I've been doing it exclusively as my Avata refuses to land and I've been too lazy to send it in.

[@KenHeron]

It is very bad for the motors and frame.

[@LehtusBphree2flyFPV]

I love your sh!t ken

[@NotHaunted...]

Surprisingly expensive

[@flywithme3578]

which mode he was flying?

[@KenHeron]

Normal mode

[@flywithme3578]

@@KenHeron nice, mine came today. but of course rainy weather, so im practising in sim for now. wouldn't have thought that acro mode is this hard, cheers

[@theone2be33]

I watched. Does that count?

[@SnoWakeFPV]

Both Ken and Barclay say "that's not a good thing to do" -- yet... that's how I always, 100% of the time, "land" my Avata? Is it bad just because it makes the FC "freak out" and try to compensate before giving up and shutting down?

[@KenHeron]

It's bad for the frame.

[@mattalford3932]

Still too expensive for me to even remotely afford lol. So back to my anolog not hd FOV drones lol.

[@johnpopolo5954]

HAHAHAHA nice

[@jeffhudson1744]

if Ken should suddenly disappear, Jeff could be a suspect. you never put anything on someone's harley and live to talk about it.

[@MavericksDrone]

Kewelbeanzontosst!

[@flying-oyvinator]

1200 usd sounds really cheap for a motorcycle and an avata combo.. id sign up.. but im flat out broke with about 100 bucks.. and the bucks are really horny for some reason..

[@DigitalicaEG]

Terrible idea buzzing his face like this when he is riding his motorcycle, specially since he wasn’t wearing a helmet. I don’t care how pro you think your skills or how slow he was going, it’s just not cool.

[@KenHeron]

A ducted drone won't hurt anyone. Besides, his face knew it was coming. 🤓
