GoPro 11 on DJI Avata - FIRMWARE Changes Everything!!

[@TulsaDrones]

Important to note for Avata owners: you will wear out your motors much faster lugging a GoPro around. I hovered with a GoPro installed for a few seconds and the motors were already boiling hot, probably not the best idea as it could overwork the ESCs as well.

[@ccc3]

Excellent comparison! The vertical shooting mode is something I don't see mentioned enough, especially now that clients request deliverables in both horizontal and vertical.

[@gopgopchippers2035]

If you turn the 11 mini upsidedown and use the back mount I took off the bottom one it tips perfectly and works as a spoiler I could tell a big difference

[@alexanderdergroe616]

But with the ultra wide setting, you can't stabilize the avata footage in gyroflow, and thats the big advantage for the gopro

[@155spy]

The Dude with the fastest drone in the World 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 you I trust 100%

[@LegendZDroneFPV]

What a great video, my brother! Just subscribed! I´ve lost my Avata (doing some acro over the ocean at hard wind, the motor or flight controller overheated), but i just bought another one yesterday. I just loved the drone. I was about to buy a Cinebot 30 wit O3, but Avata has so many great features...as Adjust camera remotely, GPS etc

[@Reedith]

While after that firmware update, I am almost preferring the DJI. Image quality. Or at least it's close enough that it's not worth fiddling with gopro and gopro software and gopro batteries. I'd love to see an insta 360X3 on top.

[@LukeMaximoBell1]

Agreed. I might try an X3 on top! haha. Thanks for the idea.

[@drcobb84]

Haha I have an x2 haha I may just have to shoot this when the wind dies down out here

[@InfiniteBlue_]

you still see a massive bonus in the GoPro footage as it doesn't burn the highlights so fast as the dji. thinking of flying in a sunset where this come quiet handy..

[@flyah]

its a really good comparison, but the difference between highlights and shadows in gopro its really greater than avata

[@Sovereign_54]

I think this is the only real reason one would want to use a GoPro. The dynamic range, the GoPro definitely wins here, but the trade off's are biiig ones.

[@dubsrcfpvandfamilyfuntimes913]

Awesome flying man, I couldn’t believe how great it actually flew with the big GoPro on 😮 I have the hero 11 but haven’t tried it on my avata but I did try flying it with a hero 5 in sport mode and it was really struggling I thought it was abit windy though. 😅 you my video made it look easy obviously you flew manually. I couldn’t listen to your video because my wife is in bed sleeping next to me but I watched twice 😅 beautiful area and great flying amazing comparison ❤ take care dude

[@LukeMaximoBell1]

Yeh it wasn’t easy, but you’ve just got to be a lot heavier on the throttle 😂 yeh it was full manual. Thanks for the comments 🙌🏼

[@VPAS]

Wonder how the new update benefits the avata image quality indoors?

[@ElvisSCL]

would a gopro be too heavy to be out on the Avata, and affects it's flight performance? I am planning to put my action 3 on it.

[@timurkarz]

Great video, mate! I have 2 questions. 1: Please share your controller settings 2: Have you changed smth in dorne setting before GoPro mounting? I put GoPro on my Avata but I wasn't able to take off - drone flipped all the time. It seemed like center of gravity was moved and drone didn't recognized it. Thanks!

[@dronemfilmuje]

My avata also doesn’t work with action cam. I can’t even take off. Do you found some solution?

[@jack_megapixel739]

@@dronemfilmuje The problem is the mount you used! I had the same problem,i bought a different and everything is working well.

[@dronemfilmuje]

@@jack_megapixel739which one you have?

[@maskedmuchacho]

Nice comparison mate thanks, i think the worst part about sticking a gopro on top would be the change to the drones flight characteristics. I tried original dobo's duct guards and had to take them straight off after the first battery. Just dont think the avata handles the extra weight very well.

[@LukeMaximoBell1]

Sure thing! Yeh agreed, the Avata flies best just on its own 🙈

[@MateusBernardoSilva]

Excellent comparison! I placed a GoPro naked 11 on top of my drone.. However, I'm experiencing tremors in the image with the camera mounted on the drone. I noticed that it doesn't happen with yours. Do you know what could be causing this?

[@LukeMaximoBell1]

Hmm it could be poor mouthing. What did you use to mount it? A naked GoPro 11 should be even lighter

[@cal8016]

Wait!??? Is there a vertical mode in the avata camera? 😳

[@MicBergsma]

Right on! Good to know!

[@LukeMaximoBell1]

Glad it was helpful 😎 I’ve been watching your channel for a long time! 🙌🏼

[@sxmbailxy]

Great video! One of my biggest reasons for getting a gopro 11 for my DJI avata originally, was for the ability to record verticle video - but now seeing your footage of the ultra wide on the avata I might sell my gopro! I think there was a drawback to using the ultrawide FOV on the avata originally, either not being able to record the gyro data or something to use in gyroflow after?

[@LukeMaximoBell1]

Yeh agreed that tall GoPro sensor was a big selling point. I was kind of shocked to see that the Avata gets the same vertical FOV and more FOV on the sides with stabilisation applied. The GoPro footage was run through reelsteady with an 8:7 output aspect ratio, so it would crop of course but you have to to get a usable image.

[@LukeMaximoBell1]

Never tried Gyroflow, but rocksteady is definitely applied! And it’s smooth enough for me 🤷‍♂️

[@mxracingunlimitedltd7784]

I thought Gyroflow was just for the GoPro and not for the Avata's camera? What does it do?

[@gaurab6271]

i want make manual drone so i can add gopro for that time for better stabilizer

[@nicobaicu]

Nice video, cheers! For me, the gopro wins hands down ; they've spent way more time and money on developing cameras and you can clearly see the results.

[@mxracingunlimitedltd7784]

Great comparison video! The ONLY control sticks that i never drop are the much thicker and not so tiny and they also have a nice foam surround with the regular metal on top, i wish they fit in my DJI FPV RC2 Controller... it's completely different.

[@sebastien18650]

Super helpful video! I was about to pruchase a gopro mount for my avata and you just saved me a few bucks! Now I need to update to the latest firmware and lower my shapness settings 👍

[@orozcocris93]

apples to oranges comparison there friend. doing onboard image stabalization reduces the sharpness. would have had to shoot with no image stabalization and then used gyroflow to stabalize the footage. reelsteady uses the gyro information stored from the footage just like gyroflow would have done for the avata footage. would love to see one where you use the respective software to compare the two

[@grey.fox.]

where did you get those shelves bro

[@TechLinhi]

Very helpfull I would like to try Avata myself one day 🚁🎥

[@arnaudgodri]

*I recognized the location of the drone flights, it's in Dijon* 😊

[@wintercame]

😮

[@LukeMaximoBell1]

Haha well spotted!!

[@xoneeleven]

Does the new firmware still require you to have a cell phone connected to the goggles?

[@zilyaev]

Why you do crop 16:9 but not 4:3 on dji?

[@kaylapeters3437]

Dope video Luke, thanks for the info 💙

[@viktorl5937]

Great Video, thank you. May I ask why do you prefer 4K 30 fps vs 4K 60 fps, please? With 60 fps it is possible to do x2 slow mo after wards, but with 30 fps - none of that is possible

[@2020videography]

I imagine he prefers the motion blur on the 30fps, in 60 at normal speed you won’t get proper motion blur. It’s good for tiny clips here and there if you are doing a lot of timing changes but natural flying will look more cinematic and be better in 30.

[@LukeMaximoBell1]

You are correct. If I were to shoot at 4K60, then I would still use 1/60th shutter speed. Then it’s identical to what I did here, but there is the chance to slow it down if I want to. The reason I don’t normally is because 95% of the time I don’t ever want to slow down my FPV. If I am shooting action sports or something fast moving then more FPS for sure!

[@filmartfilms-m7t]

Caraca, muito obrigado pelo seu video!! Produzo videos em balões de ar quente no BRASIL, sempre utilizo a go pro hero 11, mas alguns dias atras ocorreu uma queda do DJI AVATA, como a go pro requer muita força do drone, ela acabou danificando as hélices, fazendo com que a hélice se rachasse no ar, fiz a atualização e estou gravando com 2.7k 60fps D-cinelike 4:3, so estou pensando se gravar em 2.7k será melhor do que gravar em 4k 16:9, pois meus videos são utilizados para instagram na vertical!!

[@thegentlestories214]

but intent it just around 20 gram of less weight to the full gp11?

@@LukeMaximoBell1 axis made a full conversion kit. Frame and motors that go with it. Making it a 3.5 inch It’s abit heavier then stock though.

@@dubsrcfpvandfamilyfuntimes913 Ah that's super interesting, I will go check it out!

[@LukeMaximoBell1]

@@dubsrcfpvandfamilyfuntimes913 Yeh, I don't think it looks good visually. I will likely just stick to the normal DJI Avata. I have upgraded the motors now but haven't tested them out yet. I like the look and design of the Avata. I don't really want it to be bigger. Also, now that I prefer the Avata camera with the new firmware upgrade I don't really want to fly it with a GoPro on top. But if Axis sends me the kit I'll try it out.

[@fpvbilal]

Gopro + realsteady way way better than avata with new firmware. You have to say something about realsteady, if i have no idea about avata and Gopro i probably get the avata only after watch this video, but there is a fat big difference between avata and Gopro, and it is realsteady

[@LukeMaximoBell1]

Avata is compatible with Gyroflow though. I haven’t compared the results though.

Do you have any recommendations for what settings are best for the avatar on real estate fpv fly through videos?
