Do NOT Start FPV with the DJI Avata 2 - Do this instead

PLEASE NOTE! the Goggles 3 at the moment as of the time of making this video 05/07/24 are not back compatible with the o3 air units. For this reason I don't recommend you get them until they put a firmware update out to make them compatible with the o3 air unit.

Well ... dont get the Googles 3 if you want to use the vista or O3 systems. No support yet!

[@pavguliani]

Ahh yeh that's true thanks for leaving a comment with this. I will pin it so people know. As of now it's doesn't but I believe in the near future they will be back compatible but as of right now July 2024 they only work with the AVATA 2 you are right

I have an avata 2. Was having so much fun within 5 minutes of using it. No training. Skimming tops of trees, and inches above the local reservoir and fields. Between branches, through playground equipment, any obstacles I can find. It's so much fun I take it in the car with me everywhere and it literally takes 90 seconds from opening the case to getting in the air. 45 seconds to replace battery and get back in air. My brother, son, grandson and sister were able to fly it in minutes and were laughing their heads off. Crashed it over 20 times and broke nothing. Crashed a mile away and used turtle mode to flip it right way up and take off. I know I sound like a dji salesman but it is just so much FUN. I don't want to do crazy acrobatics, I want to have fun and take smooth, fast fpv cinematic footage. The avata 2 seems to be great at that.

[@TheSakufighter]

Same. Started on the Avata 2 and am now blasting around in sports mode with the motion controller for the FPV potato. Going to practice in the simulator for awhile before I move to full manual mode for both plus i still need the RC controller 3 for the Avata 2.

[@barronhelmutschnitzelnazi2188]

Is it really that durable? I had a DJI Mini 3 as my first drone, and it couldn't survive like a 10 feet fall from crashing into tree branches. I broke my first one, sent it for repairs, and they sent back a new one for no cost. Half a year later, I finally crashed it after all that time. Roughly same height and also tree branches, it broke as well. This time, it didn't look like nothing was really damaged, but it no longer power on. Sent it in, had to pay repair fees, and then they sent back a new drone again. I ended up just selling it to someone. It was too fragile for my liking.

[@pavguliani]

I do agree using the avata drones are the best way to get up in the air quickly and get going with fpv. I've stated that in my other videos about the avata drones. however having flown the avata drones and 5 inch drones there's absolutely no comparison between the performance levels when it comes to chasing, diving down cliffs and flying in high winds which when you go to many of these places that have high mountains or ridges or waterfalls the wind conditions can be crazy and having a ducted avata or avata 2 the performance level is barely usable compared to an un-ducted powerful 5 inch quad that can just cut through the wind to fly lovely and smooth and give a nice enjoyable flying experience. For diving it's the same, having a 6s 5 inch quad you will be able to catch your quad at the bottom of the dive closer to the ground better than an avatar drone giving you a more dynamic shot. Also the avata drones come with the DJI fpv radio which again if you use any other fpv radio out there you will see how much better the gimbals are for finer controls such as the tango 2 or mambo. I'm not trashing the avata drones in anyway as I use them myself and have often said if I can only carry around one fpv drone around with me for quick shots while travelling it would be the avata as they are the easiest to use as you said, have less footprint in the bag and have the best battery life. But if you want to go to that next level of fpv I really recommend to also be looking into a 5 inch bnf drone that fly's better in more adverse conditions and allows for more acrobatic movements

[@TheSakufighter]

DJI FPV 🥔 has been a lot of fun to learn on, does well in the wind and kind of walks you into the hobby. Just use normal to land and take off.

[@pavguliani]

It's decent but camera quality is quite rubbish in my opinion

[@kunhaz]

Iam about to enter in this fpv world. The more i see this kind of amazing videos the more i think that i cant handle "real" fpv drones. Maybe ill start by using an avata one

[@pavguliani]

Avata is a good place to start for sure. If you mainly fly in locations that don't have too much wind or you're not interested in doing any chasing, diving or freestyle then avata is a sure bet but otherwise I'd say learn how to fly a customer bind and fly drone

[@Fitandover40]

This is great info and kind of did all this a year ago although in the cheap side of it lol but it is absolutely overwhelming for a total beginner. I spent many many hours studying and researching all this info (Joshua B., etc😂) in different places and although it is not rocket science it is A LOT to learn to just fly a whoop around. Let alone all the battery knowledge. I recently sold all that you are recommending now and i am about to go with the dji avata 2, so much simple and to be honest, a lot cheaper than building your own. Still great info here and loving your channel. Thanks mate.

[@Astrometanomally]

Hey just found you. Crazy good video. Insane editing. Made me laugh. Instant sub. Only criticism is not telling beginners about the 4 main different fpv systems. Analog (slightly outdated imo but still usable with lower latency), dji, hdzero,and walksnail. But only a minor thing. 10/10 video.

[@pavguliani]

Thanks a lot mate! Yeh I didn't want to go into all the possibilities of fpv otherwise the video would be 2 hours haha. Was more just what I've learnt over 4 years of doing it and my experience with those other systems are zero so no point in me giving my opinion on them. Thanks for watching 😀

[@woutervossebeld4664]

at 5:27 your specs sheet is wrong in a couple of places, the integra goggles have 100hz screens (they can switch to 60hz tho, which is probably what you meant), the goggles 2 are 51 degrees FOV and more of a nitpick but I think saying the integra is heavier compared to others is a bit misleading because of the built in battery. The other goggles need a seperate battery.

[@pavguliani]

Thanks very much for checking for me and updating, appreciate it 👍

[@jackobrien4638]

Awesome video! Keep it up! BTW, if I bought a protek35 and am having trouble binding it. How do I know if my caddx is working or not, because that won't even bind to the v2 goggles.

[@pavguliani]

Thanks a lot! Yeh that's strange it should bind up but also the vista unit and V2 goggles may need you to do a cli command in betaflight ... set sbus_baud_fast = ON

[@ra3oon684]

do the dji goggles 2 work with the o4 air unit system? or only with the o3 and if so do you think they will add support for o4? thanks really helpful vid

[@pavguliani]

I would recommend you get goggles 2 as then you can use avata drones and also bnf custom build drones with o3

[@ra3oon684]

@@pavguliani ok thanks, do you also know if the goggles 3 now support the o3 air unit?

[@ra3oon684]

They do not um afraid and DJI are not even confirming if they ever will so I'd say best bet is goggles 2 or integra so you can fly with all systems

[@pavguliani]

It's decent but only if you're crusing, any slight bit of acro and it struggles

[@brandon9689]

Do not buy the goggles 3 unless you get them part of the Avata 2 package. They only work exclusively with the Avata 2 at the moment, and some non FPV drones. They still don't work with 03 air units. I have them as part of the Avata 2 package. I'm feeling kind of stuck, because I can't fly anything else until the patch comes.

[@pavguliani]

Yeh I think with a firmware update they will be back compatibility as that's what DJI did with the first avata and goggles 2 so hopefully on the near future that update will happen

[@stankozniewski9385]

I'm pretty sure they work with the air 3 and mini 4 pro....

[@johnmajka5404]

I currently have 2 sets of DJI goggles. The V2 Goggles, that I got with my DJI FPV Drone, & I bought the Goggles Integra Motion 2 Combo, for my AIR 3 & Mini 4 Pro. I have the Avata 2 Fly Combo on the way, so I'll have the Goggles 3 soon. Ive only flown my FPV drone in sport mode, so I haven't learned Acro yet. Is there any pre built Longe Range Digital FPV quads, that have 30 minute flight times, & at least 2-3 Miles of range? I plan on getting on a sim & learning. I love my DJI FPV Drone, but the flight time in sport mode is like 10 minutes.

[@pavguliani]

Yes sure I think the chimera 7 inch from iflight is a solid purchase for a first long range bnf with long flight times and there are loads of great videos out there about the chimera 7 that can help guide you if you get stuck

[@rizangg]

Have you heard of the DJI O4 Air Unit? I believe DJI hasn't released it yet.

[@pavguliani]

Its in the avata 2 and not by itself yet. My guess it will be a standalone unit in the future most likely compatible with the goggles 3 knowing DJI
