How To Bind DJI FPV Controller 3 to DJI Avata 2 and Set Manual Mode

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Well done my friend !

[@AirPhotography]

Many thanks!!

[@brandon9689]

There are 2 hex nuts around back of the controller grip. For me tightening the one Labelled F2 is what loosened up the Y axis behind the left stick gimbal. F1 is resistance, how hard you need to push the stick to move it. Tighten for more tension. Loosen for less

[@Ferrous_Bueller]

Thanks for this comment. I was having a hell of a time until I saw your comment

[@azad-11]

Thank, this is super helpful. 👍👍

[@usadroneflyer]

Thanks for sharing!

[@crossdissolve7649]

very helpful

[@시커먼선생Mr.Blackman]

❤😂You captured the video beautifully. It's the best.

[@baconbot3106]

Awesome can you do this through an ap or on your phone instead of through the googles

[@hummerzdca]

Great post! I ordered and just got the controller 3 to go with my Motion Controller. You mentions using taking the tension out of the left stick to do all the manual flying. What about if you don’t? (Leave the tension on the left stick.) Not totally convinced on using Manual Mode, still a bit spoiled now using the motion controller!

[@wallyw4965]

If the tension isn't taken out, it will make the drone automatically accend...the bounce back, recentering, moves the drone on its own...why you need to take the tension out..use the dji flight simulator to practice manual

[@BobCaseyAerial]

Nice Video Sean

[@AirPhotography]

Thanks 👍

[@OZSCQUADS]

sorry, how did you get in to the menu with the controller? I know how to with motion controller, but not with the stick controller.

[@antonlianpascua5099]

I have the Avata 1, but the fpv controller 2 isnt in stock since forever, in a future firmware update, will the FPV controller 3 be able to connect with the avata 1

[@cal8016]

Did it work for you? I tried connecting it to my DJI fpv and it doesn’t connect

[@kenkeng5824]

Thanks for the excellent video. Did the FPV RC 3 require updates?

[@dylancleveland]

it does

[@JasonSturgess]

Ive just got this controller is it best to learn the sport mode first for a good few hours before trying the M mode ?

[@Ferrous_Bueller]

Nope, as long as you yell “Leroyyyyyy Jennnnnnkinns!” before taking off you’ll be just fine starting in Manual mode

[@brandon9689]

Sport mode does not prepare you for manual mode in any way. It is very different from flying a normal drone. I really recommend a simulator. There are plenty of training wheels on the Avata 2, But even with those you could end up wrecking your drone/ wasting DJI cares. Just use a simulator TrypFPV and DRL sim both work with this controller I use them both with it

[@dylancleveland]

Just fly acro in a simulator first. The only crashes I've had with my avata 2 after 4 hours in the sim have been from me testing the limits of how this drone handles turns and such.

[@rambo.ramon.rainerx]

Thank you very much, all the questions I had were answered

[@cal8016]

Can this controller be used with the DJI FPV? I bought it and it doesn’t connect 😢

[@AirPhotography]

Unfortunately, no, I do not believe it is compatible

[@len5499]

Solid! Saved a lot of time for me. 😂

[@AtortAerials]

It’s amazing how barely anyone even touches on this as if it’s assumed to just be known.

[@dylancleveland]

@@AtortAerials You're supposed to actually watch the tutorial videos that DJI gives you for each product. You shouldn't rely on KZbinrs to show you what they learned from those videos lol he's just remaking the exact same content, which no hate to him, I respect the hustle, but just watch DJI's videos. They're super clear.

[@liujanis636]

Is it possible to change the stick settings? I want to swap the stick controls for yaw and roll...

[@fandelataru]

Gracias bro!!!!

[@Kkp-s5c]

Finally.

[@Blueskyver]

Thank you, very helpful.

[@tonygee3284]

Hey is it possible to do a distance test on the A2 The reason I sold my A1 was the distance sucked.

[@alexandrealex6719]

Is the fpv controller 2 compatible with the googles 3 ?? Pls someone answer I just ordered the fpv controller for my avata 2

[@yussiez5977]

Thank you 🙏🏽 ❤

[@lucabaldi2034]

how can I check if the rc has the latest firmware?

[@lectric3]

Motors wont arm for some reason with controller 3. Works fine with motion controller. Tried updating, outside in open. Any idea?

[@juanobregon4261]

i have the same problem, i was with dji service on chat trying a lot of things nothing worked. they say they are going to contact me with a solution.

[@daemn42]

In case anyone else runs into this.. Two things.. 1. In N and S mode on RC3 you bring both sticks down and in toward each other to start/stop the motors (same as all other DJI drones with traditional controller). Yes it's odd that MC3 and RC3 work very differently but they always have. 2. For M mode, first need to enable it in the settings as the "Custom Mode" (defaults to Sport), make sure to relieve spring tension (F2 screw) and set stickiness (F1 screw) on the throttle axis, and then you can arm/disarm using double press of start/stop. Random note.. Dunno abut others but my Avata 2 hates landing in M mode. It just spazzes out as soon as it touches the ground, so either get close to the ground and disarm to drop, or switch to N or S mode and it'll immediately start a soft landing with the throttle stick down.

[@willcountydrone2022]

Thanks

[@kenkeng5824]

Can you update the RC 3 via the headset?

[@user-we3ky3mf722]

it come with ELSR?

[@chilipez2934]

From what I understand, I can use my RC2 with the Avata 2. Does this mean that I can use both controllers (RC2 and Motion 3) simultaneously with my both my Mini 4 Pro and an Avata 2?

[@dylancleveland]

You cannot do that. RC2 will not work with the Avata 2

[@thyagorodriguesalvarez5264]

obrigado :)

[@cwdgamedev822]

I had to put the Avata into pairing mode by pressing and holding the power button in the same way as the other devices

[@betaompay38]

in the manual, it says that the connection is done from the remote to the Googles, then the Googles to the aircraft, so there are two connecting steps

[@wallyw4965]

Yes but he had already paired the goggles and motion 3 to the aircraft previously, he was just adding the fpv 3...which only requires entering pairing for controller and goggles...not the drone like initial set up

[@doitsa7]

is it backword compataible with Avata 1 and google 2?

[@dylancleveland]

no

[@AtortAerials]

If you’re flying in manual mode with that attitude, limit disabled, and you get out of control if you hit the pause button, will it save you?

[@dylancleveland]

yes, it swaps back to attitude and altitude/position hold

[@ryanrhart]

Thanks for video!

[@slhk5848]

Hi can you do a video on how to fly with controller and use manual mode thanks from Scotland

[@wallyw4965]

Use the dji flight simulator, you have to practice, videos explaining it do little justice

[@r_Astronized]

Does anybody happen to know if the remote controller 2 is compatible with the avata 2? any help would be very much appreciated!

[@willcountydrone2022]

Does anyone have suggestions on the normal mode thats dialed down for flying indoors?

[@JanuszLasser-mn8mn]

hello, i set manual mode as in your tutorial but when im trying to switch between modes and set it to manual i got notification in googles "manual mode not available", why is that?

[@bodeksrc8007]

Hi How to get out of begginer mode on my avata2?

[@CreatorDrews]

Was wondering if I had to use the App to switch the pairing, turns out we don't. THanks !

[@craftsman2533]

why am i getting a controller error? i followed exactly what u did

[@O2D3M1R]

Stick mode 4 var mi?

[@ukmonk]

Anyone know if using mode 3 can you invert right stick please? So push forward descends and pull back ascends.

[@EduardoGonzalez-ql8xj]

what fpv simulator works with Dji remote control 3?

[@dylancleveland]

I use Velocidrone with mine. FPV Skyline is free and also works I just didnt like it as much.

[@CanadianEh]

All I am trying to find out is if this controller connects to a phone so I can see the flight? I do not want to use the goggles.

[@wallyw4965]

If you connect a phone to the goggles usb c port, during flight, while your phone is logged into the dji fly app...it basically creates a duplicate display on your phones screen....its meant for a friend to watch since only 1 can wear the goggles...but if you wanted, you could fly it by looking at the phone...if you want to use your phone only, and not an rc remote with screen, or goggles with motion or fpv controller...then don't buy an fpv drone. Buy a mini 3 pro or mavic 3 pro, a regular dji drone can use your phone for the primary display...you will still need a rc-n1 controller without a screen though to control the drone, while using your phone as the display...when using fpv controller 3 to fly an actual drone and not using the flight simulator app, you have to use the goggles, it won't work without them...only workaround is what I initially said, plug your phone into the goggles usb c port, to get display on your phone, but you still have to have the goggles to do that

[@RC.Aviators]

This confirmes thay the new remote controller 3 communicates with the drone VIA the goggles and not directly with the drone

[@iulseyer]

Is it possible to use the RC only without the goggles to fly the drone like flying in LOS?

[@RC.Aviators]

Not possible

[@brandon9689]

Hopefully the FPV3 and goggles 3 will work with other bind and fly drones once they get unlocked. The FPV2 and goggles 2 generation can already do this. It would feel like a huge downgrade if they don't eventually get this capability.

[@dylancleveland]

@@brandon9689 the FPV 3 has no TX of its own, so you'll have to use the goggles 3 with it most likely.

[@jenniferochoa9621]

Do another DJI mini 3 pro with more features and details

[@kevinbright1]

My RC won't go into pair mode. I power it on and then press and hold the power button and nothing happens. No beeps. Green lights just keep flashing. Any ideas?

[@AirPhotography]

I’m really not sure. Tell you the truth. I would contact DJI support and see what they suggest.

[@kevinbright1]

​@AirPhotography thanks. It was a bad controller. Got a replacement and it works fine.

[@ownyourworld]

Can any one advise me ? I have a DJI drone with old control you have to insert your phone into. Can I upgrade my controller so I can get the newer controller with the screen built in ?

[@AirPhotography]

Which drone do you have?

[@ownyourworld]

@@AirPhotography mavic air

[@ownyourworld]

@silverfox74 thanks

[@Chrismarquez7]

Didn't work for me. You didn't show how to link the remote to the drone. Do I have to press something on the Avata2 drone?

[@JoshBensonOutdoors]

Didn’t work for me either.

[@willworthoberg6818]

The remote does not link to the drone, it links to the goggles. Read through all these posts, and make sure your equipment is updated. Good luck.

[@ThrashFPV]

You didint follow the tutorial then lol

[@Gamesandadventures1116]

Did you figure it out? I cant pair my controler this video is useless

[@zeeb696]

Do the goggles have to be used?

[@AirPhotography]

Yes, they do. You could hover the drone around well not wearing goggles, but you won’t be able to see where you’re going. it’s not compatible with remotes with a screen

[@rogerbivins9144]

As long as the goggles are turned on, you can certainly fly the A2 line of sight without wearing them, just as with other aircraft. It is generally not as fun, and not what fpv equipment is intended for.

[@TonyVon]

You jumped past updating controller

[@dylancleveland]

he said it in the video.

[@zoomhardin]

total bs.

[@dylancleveland]

how so?

[@edwardbradbury1952]

Thank you - really useful
