[@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 ?

[@pginaeemidris2069]

3rd time watching rhis video now its just sooo goood

[@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

[@crimsonfancy]

Couldn't agree more. 👍🏻

[@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!🍻

[@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 🍻

[@GuyMassicotte]

The ups shot was amazing lol

[@PatientSpiritPro]

I absoulutely loved this review. Like one commenter said, no fancy transitions, no loud obtrusive music, just pure video demonstration of what the drone is capable of. Thanks so much!

[@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!!

[@raimundopimentel5593]

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

[@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.

[@jessefrazier5324]

Thanks!

[@DustinDunnill]

This is Jesse! Glad you enjoy what I do 🍻

[@Gregbertt]

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

[@9adriano21]

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

[@shawnstoik]

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

[@andrewh8125]

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

[@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.🇺🇸

[@luisangelperez9469]

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

[@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

[@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 🍻

[@RollingThunder808]

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

[@Glen.Danielsen]

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

[@YukonBlaze]

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

[@Siil2599]

im saveing for the avata 2 and im REALLY exited for it

[@varvarmax]

Thanks for your review. This is the most interesting review of Avata2 I've ever seen

[@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!!!

[@mikec.5092]

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

[@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.

[@arturpiasecki3405]

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

[@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!

[@jmz2077]

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

[@fishingandflyingwithtolley459]

Always the best and most reliable reviews available thank you

[@peedrowchan-man102]

Just got mine today and charging for the mornin. Thanks much! Gonna be fun tomorrow!

[@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..

[@danmontoya1102]

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

[@andydouce7781]

Awesome video & no nonsense review 👍 Just - wow, tech has come such a long way, that thing is amazing & my next purchase lol, after I've done my maiden flight of mini 4 pro I bought yesterday. Good channel man, keep up the good work

[@DustinDunnill]

Thank you and congrats! 👏🍻

[@jkydiego]

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

[@TravelwithNicknl]

Thanks for the amazing review. Got the info what I was looking for. 🙏🏼

[@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!

[@GregorioCeballos25]

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

[@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 🍻

[@evolvedaily]

amazing and awaited review, thanks dustin for this.

[@Sevenup75]

Hey Dustin! This is one of the best reviews of the Avata 2 I've seen so far! 👍🏻 Not only because of your beautiful backyard but also you are very happy while flying 😊 First I got the Avata 1 Fly more combo with the goggles integra. Last week I purchased the Avata 2 drone only and connected it successfully with my existing goggles and motion 2 controller. Because of bad weather here, I only flew in my apartment 😁 Can't wait to take it outdoors in nature and forest to fly like a bird 😃 Best regards from Switzerland! Niels

[@vali_odinsson]

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

[@DustinDunnill]

😂🍻

[@Air2GroundRC]

Epic flying & great video review ! Cheers

[@xero724]

Your landscape is beautiful. Perfect for drone flying.

[@Blueskyver]

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

[@vickygunawan8775]

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

[@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 🍻

[@APZeus3]

Best review , I personally was so confused between the mini pro 2 and a2 , ordered the mp2 hours before seeing this review and now regret it 😢😂 All the other reviews were never so convincing damn it

[@JohnSmith-ef8nr]

You really need both, I got a Mini 4 pro for pictures and avata 2 for fun. You can fly a Mini almost anywhere, but you can't do that with the avata, at least in the uk.

[@crossdissolve7649]

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

[@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.

[@willrine8614]

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

[@camilogonzalez7770]

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

[@georgeaura]

Man the flying clips you got are awesome.

[@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.. 👍

[@Brainwave36]

Excellent video. I now realize that I've been too timid with my Avata 2. Your video showed me just what it was capable of in terms of those "threading the needle" shots. It's crazy to think that as fast as you were screaming around in sports mode, the Avata 2 will do 60mph in manual mode with the controller 3. The remote is definately going on my Santa list. I'm also curious what effect the ND filters will have on the camera. Supposedly it allows you to get some good motion blur. Your property is beautiful, by the way, and really added to the demo. Thanks for posting.

[@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]

😂🍻

[@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!

[@DMW40789]

Always great !!!! Many thanks from Germany 😉😉😉

[@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.

[@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.

[@cstephen98]

The controller is basically a Quest Go controller. Looks like you use it pretty much the same as you would in VR. Makes me wonder what you could do with duel controllers like modern VR units (with a headset and ui optimized for VR)

[@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! 🍻

[@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

[@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!

[@BlueDroneBlues]

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!

[@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.

[@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)

[@revtoyota]

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

[@RFC3514]

Turtle mode could be automatically assigned to the start-up button (or appear on the main HUD) whenever it detects it's upside down.

[@dipikarnekami2636]

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

[@lakhdeepsingh9132]

Great review! Sooo inclined to make that impulsive decision and pull the trigger on this thing haha

[@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.

[@JMprodquad]

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

[@ianvergara9498]

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

[@andydrones6697]

Great review 😊

[@madgamer7301]

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

[@wes1895]

Wow, what a cool video, thank you! I've been debating on picking one of these up... I think this pushed me over. This thing looks like a blast! What a gorgeous area too, love the arid landscape there. Do you mind sharing what state/area this was shot in?

[@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 🍻

[@saltan2]

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

[@joshuaharrell7187]

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

[@DustinDunnill]

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

super cool 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.

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

[@kez850]

Great video and beautiful property 👍

[@DirtyBird]

Great video. Dang you beat the heck out of that bird! LOL. Care Refresh for the Avata 2 is awesome. $99 for 2 years & only $29 per incident deductible.

[@Capital_X_Playz]

First Drone i ever Had (real one that doesnt cost Like $30) Its so easy to Control took me like even 10 minutes to learn! 😃👍

Welcome aboard! 🍻

[@gfig22]

Dustin I think I'll wait for the next generation so we hopefully can get more sensors. Btw visited Maui a few weeks back. Saw that little crater you used to always fly over on the way to Kihei, I think😅 had a great time definitely paradise.

[@jayshenlung3157]

simply best review

[@UltraFroggyGroup]

This would be good for areas with aggressive birds. Very tempted to buy.

[@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 🍻

[@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 🍻

[@jerryfields239]

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

[@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 🍻

[@drone-360-videos]

Great practical demonstration of the type of flying that is possible with the Avata 2 using the motion controller 3. It would be great if you could do videos demonstration the sport mode, especially in open and mountainous terrain, with the focus of getting smooth cinematic 4K footage in great light :-)

[@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.
