DJI Avata vs Avata2 - IS IT WORTH UPGRADING?

[@oliverknill631]

what a question. Of course it is. I just had my first flight this morning and there are so many improvements: toggling external view, smaller and better controller, better picture, more comfortable googles, longer flight time, better access to the SD card and USB part , less annoying sound etc. etc.

[@originalmindset5278]

I bought the entire Explorer Combo and Fly More kit for the AVATA 1 two weeks ago, I haven't unboxed a thing and decided to send EVERYTHING BACK... including ND filters and extra props to purchase the NEW AVATA 2. 😂😂😂 CHEERS! 🍻

[@CyberEditing]

I've specifically waited years for this DJI FPV drone to arrive. The whole package is perfect straight out of the box. Now that the camera has been upgraded, there's no need for clumsy add-ons which degrade handling & performance. Just for reference, I still have the original Mavic Pro.

lowkey thinking abt selling all my real estate cinewhoop and decased gopros for this

[@janmajnik6889]

u think it's good enough for real estate? I wanna see some more tests before I order it. I wish gopro did gopro 12 bones. Been a while since we had one.@@toasti2699

[@KaiTiura]

I’ve still got my Mavic Pro, Mavic 2 and have the first Avata and I’m considering getting it if there’s a good enough deal somewhere. I think this is a great design update for the price.

[@Potato5289]

Hey toasti2699. I would be interested in buying your gear if youre selling. Lmk. Thanks

[@haldir_1234]

Bought the avata 1 two days before the first leaks... Now I reconsider my life choices because the new one looks so good

[@RJSamonte]

Sell the 1 and buy the 2!

[@mattalford3932]

Easy acro is 100% software. DJI could add it to the original avata with a simple software update

[@hector5524]

It’s not, it relies on the two newly added cameras to ensure safety while maneuvering.

[@mattalford3932]

Those sensors are literally just position sensors. They don't have anything to do with easy acro.

[@johncitizen5377]

So I updated the software on my avata 2. It allowed compatibility with the goggles 2, Integra and others including the old control. I think if you buy drone only and use your old gear, definitely. I brought the avata 2 with the impression that eventually dji will allow the goggles 3 to be used with the Mavic 3. Considering that they have allowed compatibility with the old goggles, it should be sooner or later.

[@powerman5311]

In the EU the speed is capped at 19 m/s... This is the reason why im planning to buy the first avata

[@Quad_Father]

From Mads Tech’s video the FCC hack isn’t working like it did with the AVATA 1. Maybe DJI ended its support of it?

[@powerman5311]

@@Quad_Father Hack on the avata 1? Is the Avata 1 also capped? I didnt read this anywhere

[@lauriL90]

its not worth it in EU. 19ms vs 27ms in US is a joke.

@@Rocksteady72a So the only thing to do is to build your own fpv drone i see...

[@charliew365]

I have the avata 1. Nice drone. No upgrade for me, I would rather spend the money on another freestyle quad and more batteries. The “easy” acro is like a cheap Walmart drone.

[@stst8301]

Exactly

[@BlueDroneBlues]

On my Avata 2 in Normal Mode getting about 26 mph and 36 to 37 in Speed Mode. Not very impressed with that. Would be nice if you could get close to 60 like you do in manual mode or like people do using the DJI FPV drone. I really do like the sound difference!

[@CoryGodwin]

Thanks for the video. Nice work. The 180 drift shots look wobbly coming out of it.

[@ANDJVisuals]

Mike, perfect video, explaining advantages.. Definitely a great upgrade from Avata 1 in many areas. Can't wait to receive mine !

[@mattalford3932]

The props are the same size. It weighs less. So how does it handle the wind vs the original avata.

[@mattalford3932]

The motion controller 3 connects to the goggles instead of the drone. If your goggles die your controller loses connection too.

[@_mr_hyde_]

one thing is missing for me. Does it fly better ? How its diving ?

[@lynsmith1096]

Good comparison video Mike. I have just bought the Avata 2 and will sell my Avata 1 in the near future.

[@possible1337]

I have a hard time to choose if I want to buy Avata 2. I have Avata 1, and I thinking about selling it . But I dno really..

[@jamesfranz4898]

Any real comparison needs to address the messed up FC on the avata 1. You just can’t trust it not to fall out of the sky or go randomly haywire if it bumps into something. Unfortunately this not even addressed on this video makes it of limited value. But the candid discussion of the reduction of the god awful noise the avata 1 makes is helpful so thanks for that.

[@Quad_Father]

Break anything on it besides the propeller will require it to be sent back to DJI. No way you can replace a prop guard yourself and it’s lighter because they use thinner plastic on it than the Avata 1. If you’re doing professional filming you’ll need 2 of them because there’s no quick field repair. With the AVATA 1 I broke a prop guard and had a spare and was back in the air filming in 15-20 minutes. The other DJI camera drones are the same way but they’re not meant for close proximity flying like the AVATA and are a LOT less prone to crashing. So if you’re a professional get 2 definitely

[@johnnytopgun6414]

Your comment makes little sense you're basically saying not to get the 2 at the start then saying get the 2 at the end.

[@lauriL90]

EU EC signal restriction is a dealbreaker for me. 19/ms in EU vs 27m/s in USA for the same price? LOL, my old mini 2 flies almost the same speed as new avata 2 in europe.

[@LowryDroneography-Steve]

Brilliant drone, huge improvement. Loved both batteries I’ve managed to fly so far with it in acro!

[@PassioneDrone]

Ciao ma le acro semplificate funzionano mentre registri?

[@EdEditz]

Extra points for the RayBan Clubmaster 😎👍

[@dzmitryart3429]

Is it possible to buy just a drone and connect it to old googles v2 (from the first DJI fpv)?

[@RobinDcreation]

nope it is not possible

[@lukeefpv]

Can you switch those propellers from Avata 2 to avata 1 ? 🤔

[@DroneSupremacy]

I don't think so, and i personally wouldn't, as the drone flies so much better :)

[@cinemainoneminute]

I need only a good quality in avata 1 other features are not necessary

[@powerhouse884]

Answer: YES

[@mattalford3932]

The fact that it is 100% nit repairable unless you send it to DJI kind of sucks. If I crack a prop guard on my avata it's like 15 dollars to replace the prop guards.

[@janmajnik6889]

Camera still shit for pro work :(

[@TheInvisibleRedneck]

Yes. Its good enough for youtube/social media though. However it isn't a "massive" upgrade from the avata. Slightly better in color grading and slightly better in low-light. I dont think it's worth buying right now, if you already have the avata. It's worth the extra couple hundred $'s if you're choosing between the avata & avata 2.

[@RobinDcreation]

it is Action 4 quality, so better than gopro

Let's go Mike 👍🏻

The RC motion control is a big trash

[@KaiTiura]

How can a better drone for less money be anything but good? Better design. Better goggles. Better speed and handling. Better firmware. Better sound. Better sensor. Better features… there’s no question this a better drone deal than the original, which I still think is a great drone!
