[@seancallahan69]

Dustin, it says Sunday, 5th May 2024 at 02:00 or when the last ticket is sold (whichever comes sooner) is there a certain number before you close it ? guess I'm asking how many tickets will be sold ?

[@jonmurph589]

For me, this is the only review that matters

[@PowderMill]

Nope….. I’m waiting for Dustin’s OVER WATER “Range Test”! 😂 My Wife purchased my first drone (Mavic-2 Pro) after accidentally watching one of Dustin’s videos. It’s been an incredible hobby ever since…

[@DustinDunnill]

Not a whole lot of water at my new place but lots of open spaces 🍻

[@heejunpark2027]

just letting you know, i think Avata 2 is getting a lot of attention from the beginner fpv, including myself

[@DirtyBird]

@@DustinDunnill - A suggestion for your next range test. Just fly it out as far as it will go, then pick a safe & discreet place to set her down near a road for easy retrieval. No more lost birds! :)

[@DustinDunnill]

@DirtyBird easier said than done when you don't know the exact range it will fly and trying to keep a straight line path 🍻

[@Kuyaw91]

Best review of the Avata 2, No complex transitions, music etc straight to the point 10/10 Im gonna buy the A2 because of this helpful review

[@Schwing27]

Love your video man! Unlike most other reviews, you are showing a lot of continuous footage which is great. Other reviews are only showing random short clips of footage which is annoying. I like seeing nonstop flight. This video made me place my order for the Avata 2.

[@DustinDunnill]

Exactly why I do it this way...details. Thanks!🍻

[@GuyMassicotte]

The ups shot was amazing lol

[@arturpiasecki3405]

Thanks to this video, I just ordered Avata 2! Thanks for the great review!

[@JeremyBreeden89]

This channel is by far the best channel for drone reviews. Dustin really pushes these drones to their limits, especially when testing the max flight distance which is a great thing to know for the average drone consumer who usually will not be going out anywhere near these distances but can feel safe knowing they can go quite a ways without the possibility of loosing connection, or even worse loosing a drone. I only watch this channel when k wanna find out the max range of a new drone on the market. Thanks for all the great videos that are so helpful to a lot of people who are looking to get into the hobby, or people just wanting to know the capabilities of a new release.

[@raimundopimentel5593]

Excellent down to earth (literally haha) review. Keep it up! Mine arrives tomorrow, pretty excited.

[@HawthorneHome]

Watched your video yesterday for the first time. Purchased Avata 2 today, watched it again for a refresher. Great video. Thank you!

[@Jrat21]

Definitely the most thorough review I’ve seen. Having watched others I was left unsure about the drone. Your review has me sold. Thanks!!

[@9adriano21]

Best video on the Avata 2 I’ve found… amazing insight on the flying experience, thanks! And you have an amazing property!

[@andrewh8125]

Getting mine in a week. Best review I’ve seen so far thanks for sharing!! I’m even more excited now after watching.

[@mikec.5092]

Always enjoy your vids Dustin! Thanks for the detailed reviews!!

[@wallyboo2]

Got my Avata 2 on Friday. First flight was diappointing as I realized the controller didn't work and it was showing a gimbal calibration error--wouldn't move the gimbal. I did a firmware refresh with hopes it would clear up but nothing changed. Called DJI service. They walked me through everything I had already done. Nothing changed. I went on forums and began finding people who have the same issue. DJI techs were on the forums as well saying that firmware refreshes should fix the problems and everyone was coming back saying that it wasn't changing. AHHH!! I finally talked with Best Buy where I got the drone and they said to bring it back for a return. Bought a second one and can't wait to get it out and fly it this afternoon on this beautiful day!! Hopefully it won't have the same problems!!

[@DJISupportGlobal]

Hi there, we are sorry for the inconvenience. Please remember to remove the gimbal protector before turning on the drone. If there is any other issue during the use, please feel free to contact us, we will do our best to help. Thanks for your understanding.

[@TheMarnell35]

I love my avata, but your review sold me on the 2.. just got delivery confirmation for tomorrow.. feel like a kid at Christmas, can’t wait to check it out.. Thanks for the chill review..

[@Air2GroundRC]

Epic flying & great video review ! Cheers

[@Glen.Danielsen]

Dustin, really like your _clear_ tour of Avata2-bird! Just outstanding descriptive narrative. Thankful new subscriber here, brother. 💛🙏🏽

[@hummerzdca]

This is my fifth time watching this one since I finally unboxed, charged and updated mine now! WOW~I got the Fly More combo, and using a silver inked Sharpie, numbered my batteries to balance the charges/cycles more evenly. It’s surprising how that organization helps. YES, I think I said I’d do first practice in my garage, and SLOWLY flew around it to get comfortable with maneuvering it. Nectar really hit anything except when I flew a little to high about a crossover beam where the downdraft suction made it suck towards the ceiling for a second, will have to practice in the house one day. Thanks for the post! You’re the best.🇺🇸

[@Gregbertt]

Great video as always! Looking forward to the range test for sure!

[@AjaySingh-228]

This was a great review, bro! Super informative. I learned a lot about the Avata 2. Especially liked the durability test. Those were some crazy heights you were dropping it from!

[@sirchopp0903]

From flying the avata to looking at the avata 2 I can tell a huge difference between the two 😱. Can't wait to get it

[@shawnstoik]

Glad I found this channel. So thorough. Love the needle threading and low to the ground shots. You're a great flyer. 😄

[@RollingThunder808]

Best review I've seen yet out there. Good job. Makes me want to buy one even more.

[@evolvedaily]

amazing and awaited review, thanks dustin for this.

[@danmontoya1102]

Great review as always, learned things that no other reviewers discussed. Thanks as always.

[@Blueskyver]

Ecellent review, Dustin, and it's good to see how easy it flies with the MC3. Thank you!

[@PORONG12]

only avata 2 review i watched to the end...love ur video bro

[@vickygunawan8775]

Awesome, that's exactly what I need to see in DJI Avata 2 video! Thank you!

[@RonaldBrown59]

Great test flight Dustin, you really put these new drones through their paces. The Avata 2 did very well, and the camera looks great. This one is a keeper. Thanks for sharing.

[@dsmsdy3399]

This is the best video I have seen so far for Avata 2. Keep the good work brother. P.S really liked the UPS truck pass true, that was awesome!!!

[@luisangelperez9469]

This is the review I need, every time, every product.

[@TrollHammar-hl3js]

Amazing review! Thanks a lot

[@willrine8614]

Great review of some very cool gear. Thanks Dustin !! 😎

[@georgeaura]

Man the flying clips you got are awesome.

[@fishingandflyingwithtolley459]

Always the best and most reliable reviews available thank you

[@Arch0300]

Always love these long review Dustin! My Avata 2 is coming on Friday. I can’t wait! 😝

[@Arch0300]

Btw I forgot to ask if there is any of these feature on the Avata 2 like Follow Me or POI like the other DJI Drones have?

[@DustinDunnill]

None of those features. More of a hands on manual drone 🍻

[@TcpIpNut]

Thanks for the great video. Seeing the crashes and easy propeller replacement is helpful. I know some crashes will happen as I've never flown FPV before.

[@motionwav288]

super cool review!

[@saintkenny9296]

I was wondering when I switched into PIP mode why it gave me a huge screen of what was in front of me and a small screen for my aircraft and didn’t know how to switch them. Thank you, much better!

[@valiodinsson5047]

the fly through of the UPS truck was awesme, I was chanting "DO IT! DO IT!" and sure enough...thanks

[@DustinDunnill]

😂🍻

[@heliharris69]

Great honest and informative review. Excellent presentation... Don't know what you do for a living.. But you were born to do this kind of work. Outstanding in this field... Keep up the good work enjoyed watching from the UK.

[@DustinDunnill]

Thanks! Hopefully this what I do for a living now 🍻

[@crossdissolve7649]

Great review, I just bought the avata 2 thanks to your review.

[@rocsocom3166]

I wanted to learn FPV. So order the bundle package with control too. can't wait to get here. after watch videos like this may it possible. I bought 2 drone in the pass the phantom 2, Mavic pro, Now Avata 2 waiting for santa to come now. Awesome Video thanks.

[@Brandon-jf9cv]

If you haven’t recorded the range test yet, could you try holding the controller in your left hand and showing off how easy or hard it would be to use that dial on the side I don’t want to not be able to use it because I’m left-handed

[@DustinDunnill]

Thanks for mentioning that. I will try it while flying 🍻

[@vinhha6073]

Drone is one thing.. I'm looking at your house most..😂.. it's a gorgeous house there you got bro😁.. in middle no where.. my gosh I love it.. 👍

[@YTFPV]

oh man can't wait order one coming . i love the avata such a fun toy . I have other drone but avata is my little tank goes to branch , leave , rock and keep going.

[@jessefrazier5324]

Outstanding job. I have learned a lot.I have the Avata one now. I need to buy the Avata 2. I should have waited. 😢 My boys and I will have fun learning this summer. Thank you so much.

[@revtoyota]

Another great review Dustin. I'm curious to see what the range is on this one.

[@originalmindset5278]

Nice review, Dustin... 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! 🍻

[@BigAlFPV17]

Wow. It flies so awesome! Hopefully DJI will have a software update to fix those bugs. That 360 head tracking is absolutely amazing. Excellent flight test Dustin & looking forward to the range test!

[@JFB1963]

Awesome review! Thanks

[@hummerzdca]

In watching all the time used making settings changes, is there a way to to put backup power on it to save battery while you do all these change stuff? Love that you cleared up a couple of my concerns, especially since mine will be here on the 21st of the most.

[@GregorioCeballos25]

You are really good at doing product reviews. God bless you always.

[@jkydiego]

I enjoy watching you flying the Avata 2 in your backyard lol

[@saintkenny9296]

I guess you figured out already, just because the prop possible cracked or broken doesn’t mean it is. I have had that message pop up a couple times and my props are still good as new. I am removing all my props at the end of the day after flying cleaning all the props with no issues. The warning just says,”you could have a cracked or broken prop.” Doesn’t mean you do. It cannot tell. It just knows it not working correctly and that is one of the primary problems to check. ❤

[@DustinDunnill]

Your right. The warning comes up sometimes if it detects a collision 🍻

[@nel7315]

Showing onother nice drone that i cannot buy but thank you for this guy that it kinda give that pov if when you have it and this drone is realy nice,iwish i can get my hands on that thing

[@Diantane]

This is the first time watching one of your videos. I watched several other reviews of the Avata 2 and to tell you the truth most were very boring. Your video was more laid back and at times pretty funny (loved that Star Wars comment on that bike trail :) Looking forward to your future videos!

[@JMprodquad]

Hey Dustin, Nice work putting the Avada 2 through your rigorous first flight review… Thanks

[@SlackerU]

I'm wanting someone to remove the prop-guards to see how much of the flight changes. 10/10, wish I had one.

[@silverfox74]

The prop guards are actually fully integrated into the main body of the drone - they can not be removed as not seperate.

[@kawulukusijonah]

❤❤❤this is really amazing 👏

[@amanimotto]

Hi Dustin. Thanks for that video. You make it easier to go through the functions. I’m yet to purchase one but I am curious as to which DJI model I should buy for video taping sceneries when I travel out of the country? Thanks again

[@DustinDunnill]

They make many drones for different needs. Small, large with better image capabilities etc. Find the one that suits your specific needs 🍻

[@camilogonzalez7770]

You are the only one who mentions it doesn't have a charger. great review, thank you!!!

[@Georgewrigley]

Brilliant Dustin. What a great drone! I wanna up grade my Avata 1 to the 2 now lol😊 Loved how you flew through the truck, like a naughty boy, then asked lol😂 Looking forward to seeing your next video pal.

[@DustinDunnill]

😂🍻

[@silverfox74]

Fantastic review Dustin. FPV drones won't have obstacle avoidance on them or you will not be able to get close to objects right. Those rear sensors are part of the downward vision positioning system to enhance stability without GPS such as flying through buildings.

[@danhickman7103]

Awesome review and awesome location! Can I ask where you live? Just beautiful!

[@jayshenlung3157]

simply best review

[@goomyz]

Cool review!

[@motovlogwarfreak879]

Watching from Mandaluyong City Philippines, Flight Safe idol

[@TheBeastsHere]

Recently bought a used Mavic Mini for 165 from ebay to get back in to droning, but I already want the DJI AVATA 2 😁

[@ianvergara9498]

Amazing Review! This video might have just gotten me a new hobby! Gonna save up for one soon >:)

[@Dragoon4980]

Awesome vid

[@selfretired3025]

The flip & roll options seem pointless. I appreciate knowing the limitations you're showing, as well as bugs to fix. There are so many features, it'd be nice if selected/most desired features could be added to the Home screen. The Turtle feature is pretty cool, but it seems like the rocks it landed on broke the propeller. Maybe they need a titanium hampster ball on each :)

[@sangnitedatarecovery3203]

Hi Dustin, I've always watched your videos and greatly appreciate your work. Because of your reviews, I'm going to get the Avatar 2, but before I do is it possible you could do a long-distance landing and take-off test? I mean you could fly about 3 to 4 miles away land the drone maybe on a high-visibility landing pad, and then take off again. I would greatly appreciate a video like that and I'm sure many others who watch your video would like to see a long-distance landing and take-off test. 😊

[@DustinDunnill]

I've been asked to do this a lot. It would need to be a well scouted area so no obstruction was maintained on ground between drone and pilot which is very hard to do. Otherwise it will immediately trigger RTH. I'll see what I can do but not sure on a timeline 🍻

[@joshuaharrell7187]

Love your reviews. You just sold me on this one…….:)

[@DustinDunnill]

You'll love the experience. Nothing else like it 🍻

[@kez850]

Great video and beautiful property 👍

[@HackerDpro]

You are my top 1 favourite drone KZbinr keep going I will always be a big fan of you (I likely watch you dji drone reviews they are really good but I think the others also) i hope you release you next dji avatar 2 review soon (or another)

[@dji_mharyhu]

nice flying and review

[@Icantdrive55]

Great review Dustin. You have me sold now I want one! Lol 😆 I have a question for you. Will the goggles 2 work with the Avata 2? If not maybe with an update. I want to possibly use goggles 2 as a ride along for someone to see what the pilot sees with the goggles 3.

[@DustinDunnill]

Thanks! They don't work yet. Likely with an update later on as has happened in the past 🍻

[@hummerzdca]

Hey, watching this for the 4th time BEFORE I even got mine delivered! Now watching the 5th, I did my very first in the GARAGE! Only flown the Mini 3 and 4 Pro, so these controls are totally foreign to me! WAS gonna try goggles with Mini 4 Pro, but went right to my A-2. Been so apprehensive on flying FPV, I don’t have an observer so have to fly in totally secure locale for now. Getting use to the new sounds too…may take a while. Thanks again!

[@kensteele3363]

You can set your RTH so the drone will hover instead of rise before it comes home. Do this when you spend your day under the trees. Change it back to normal when you are in the wide open. You need to do this so when you lose connection, the drone won't rise up to come home and since you have no connection, the red button won't stop it. If you lose connection, you want the drone to hover and then you can take a hike and hopefully reconnect in a few seconds and take back control. Ultimately when the battery gets too low, it will probably just land where it is.

[@DustinDunnill]

Great points. I should have mentioned the hover option in the review 🍻

[@niki123489]

I think they should add a bit more protection for the cameras and the sensors in case you crash on a gravel. Overall great video.

[@andrehome2493]

Great job Dustin, and the video being long needs no apology how else can you go in-depth and show what the drone is capable of, you probably know by now but there are no sensors on that drone, suspenseful video

[@larryjones2563]

Really enjoyed your review. Obviously did not read the manual or you would have known about the sensors. I hope to be able to fly as good as you some day. Thanks!

[@DustinDunnill]

Don't remember seeing in manual about the sensors in the pre release demo I was reviewing. Perhaps I missed it 🍻

[@nostrodamus1980]

Gorgeous property man, i wonder if will make zip line props for it

[@cardiocasey]

Nice Video. Thanks

[@robertmo772]

This was an awesome video

[@georgeaura]

You got to do a fly through the house to the outside and vice-versa that would be a cool shot

[@dipikarnekami2636]

Just wow❤ see this video from India and lost of love❤

[@jesusgjchuza6491]

Very cool

[@Raptor50aus]

You never disappoint lol. Mine is charging as I watch your video. :)

[@LMActionsports]

What a truly well put together video and after seeing your video of going through everything and watching how easy you are flying around and threading the needle in between the house and the trees. It has made my mind up that I am going to sell my DJI Mini 3 Pro and pick up this drone. I work with a lot of ATV and dirt bike riders that race cross-country in the woods races and with the goggles this will help me make it so much easier to follow them off the starting line. And it will give those awesome in your face footage that everybody loves. And don't get it messed up this will be my first fpv drone but I love the motion controller I wish I could use it on my Mini 3 Pro it would be easier to fly but I love that it's got a pair of goggles that really show you where you're going. Great job I am super impressed with finding this good of a review on this new drone

[@DustinDunnill]

Thank you and it seems this would be perfect for your application 🍻

[@LMActionsports]

@@DustinDunnill I've been so scared to get into fpv from watching so many others building fpv drones and this new Avata 2 with the motion controller is exactly what I'm looking for something simple. Release the trigger it stops and hovers. It's truly a nice safe drone for us beginners. Would I ever get the other controller to open up the true potential of the Drone I'm not sure I think that motion controller would be easier for what I would want and your video everything that I would need to do. A couple little front sways give it that cool cinematic look. Add your video showcase that the Drone can take a pretty good tumble. So thanks your video sold me. I don't know if you have an affiliate link but I would use it to order mine

[@LMActionsports]

​@@DustinDunnillyep I just looked into the information underneath the video and you do have affiliate links from Adorama so when I do place an order I will definitely use it

[@DustinDunnill]

My thoughts exactly. It's the perfect quality fpv drone to start with or even for experienced flyers with the option to advance. I'd honestly rather use the motion controller and I've been flying for years 🍻

[@madgamer7301]

Hey Sir i am from India (Jammu&Kashmir) and i really love your videos, review unboxing all video 😍😍❤❤

[@jerryfields239]

I giggled like a schoolgirl when you gapped the ups truck 😂

[@dr.crypto1212]

Thay was just awesome! The warnings about FTH are valuable. Only use it when nothing is above the drone. Why no obstacle avoidance on this drone though?

[@DustinDunnill]

Thanks! I agree, dji's first fpv drone had front OS which you could turn off. I'd imagine not on this one due to weight? I really thought the rear would do something though 🍻

[@bobwhitewo3b]

I am thinking that DJI should give us a bit more time to react when notified to return to home. You might be able to fake a faster dive by being in head tracking mode and changing the angle of the camera with your head as you point the control stick down.

[@silverfox74]

There is a 10 second countdown which you can cancel without going into low battery RTH at all by pressing the flight mode button on the motion contoller or start/stop button on the FPV RC 3.

[@tabadrone]

amazing

[@saltan2]

Great review and I'm in the draw!!! woop woop!!!

[@Ziiio]

I feel like this review including "First impression" and "After 1 year of using it" all in 1. This's the review that we all need. You scarified for your viewer.

[@bobbyjones2293]

Turtle mode on the rocks, prolly scraped up. Something I would do, how you fly is always flew before drones. Like flying gaps and in the woods, can’t tell you how many umx planes I broke

[@nonnakimthuy]

please test strong wind like on the beach, or moutains, thanks so much
