DJI Avata In Depth Review | We have a winner!

[@OriginaldoBo]

Get your avata here, all proceeds go to the kids that cant fly good foundation "Joking" click.dji.com/AHRuFLrwHYDZ2eik8C2gbg?ch=launch-avata-originaldobo&pm=custom

[@mixchifius]

Really? Is there a foundation for old men that can’t fly good? If that’s the case I’m happy

[@chaseschlafmann1239]

And want to do other things good too? Lol

[@djchino]

Nice review, the only thing or issue I have is that they included the hand held control and not the regular controller, the reason I think is that not many people are going to buy the hand held controller and this way is going to make people buy the regular controller so now they have no choice but to spend that extra cash

[@skyspectre8954]

100% THIS!! This is exactly what I've been saying since the packages started leaking. The motion controller is definitely nice, but it's a "nice to have" - I'm definitely going to want the standard FPV controller 2. The price of the pro-view combo PLUS the $160 FPV controller 2 is getting pretty nuts (and that's not even counting the fly more pack with 2 more batteries, which, of course, I'm gonna want, too). I mean, yeah, it's expensive and there's no use in crying about it - either pay it or don't. Still, I would have preferred that the pro-view combo come with the FPV controller 2 instead of the motion controller.

[@FlyinRyanProductions406]

I agree 100% Prolly had a boat load of them because they weren’t selling. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@e5m956]

Thankfully I already have a DJI FPV Drone controller lol.

[@dwen5065]

I agree, but you should also realize that they are out of stock on the FPV RC 2, so maybe that’s why - they can’t offer a kit if one of the parts is missing. I’m on a wait list to buy it separately.

[@cm7012]

There are 2 versions to all you conspiracy theorists. With motion and without

[@MattysDroneWorld]

Bro Im stoked to get my hands on this! You have by far one of the best reviews on the tubes man! 🤘🏼👊🏼

[@OriginaldoBo]

I appreciate that! cheers homie

[@JdubHub]

@@OriginaldoBo how loud is it?

[@QCGUY]

Very good in depth review Ken. Anything I questioned or was confused about you covered it in this video or your others that were put out today. Thanks Ken ✌️

[@OriginaldoBo]

That’s brother!

[@lighthousephoto7143]

The house tour was excellent. With practice, could that be done in one take? I'm wondering if it could replace gimbal work for basic walkthroughs..

[@miasteczko8323]

Its possible to lock exposure on dji avata? Or its must be auto always?

[@antoinecontenseau]

your work is amazing, you can really tell if its a product you want to get or not right off the batt after a detailed video like that one

[@TheParadigmShiftTV]

Can it do powerloops, split-S or flips & rolls? I know cinewhoops aren't traditionally meant for it but would be good to know how freestyle capable it is.

[@HareeshRajuk]

My thoughts on RC motion controller. I am a first time FPV drone owner. And i felt so comfortable flying the drone with the motion controller. Felt really confident for my first ever flight. From an ease of use standpoint i think it makes more sense bundling the Avata with the motion controller than the FPV controller. But yes i do agree there should be a bundle with the FPV controller for experienced flyers.

[@Miki-mw2by]

Better performance, design and improved durability from the first FPV! Plus those new goggles! Let's go!!!

[@silverspork86]

The dji fpv has better performance. It's much faster and more agile.

[@personabovefarts1244]

The fact that it's lighter and smaller but with larger camera sensor than the first fpv is already good with me!

[@Diamond_Hands_007]

Hi there , to anyone who own Avata , I would like to ask does it come with “FOLLOW ME” mode ? I currently have mini 2 and I can have my drone to follow me when I’m running . Since Avata is FPV require goggle to control Everytime. Are there any way to turn on Follow Me mode ? Thx for all helping ❤❤❤❤❤

[@tobyc3692]

Best review I have seen on the Avata… By far! Really informative, really concise. You clearly know the product and know your market. Amazing!

[@ChadB]

Looks pretty good...Great initial review. This might just be my first FPV drone. More my style of flying as opposed to the first DJI FPV

[@srandall31]

The Fly More Kit does not come with ND filters as you mentioned at 29:27. Nor does either of the combo kits come with this. The ND filters are a standalone purchase.

[@Dronynho]

wich controller should I buy? can someone put the link here?

[@readysetdrone]

Dang! Great video Ken. That gap at 28:50 was awesome! Thanks for the in-depth review!

[@OriginaldoBo]

Thanks Kelly!

[@invi_carlos]

Best Avata video. Especially loved that you showed real estate!

[@badmonkey2917]

Hi. I don’t have a drone but I want too start and learn. One problem I have is that I don’t know what’s the drone for me. I used to fly rc planes and really liked it. But now I what explore all the drones possibilities. I have looked at the camera drones like the Dji mini 3 pro and that looks like a easy drone to start with. But I’m not that interested in filming. I wanna have some fun. So I look at drones like this and trying to find out if this is for me, because it is a bit harder too handle but then again probably more fun. So I’m watching this video and start thinking if I start with a mini 3 pro and after a while will try this one out. Can I at some point use the goggles in any way on the mini 3. Can the goggles be used at a dji camera drone if you got both ?

[@FlyNatural]

Loved the intro to this vid going in different rooms in the house great job Ken 👍🏾

[@ultrazep]

Thanks for the review. Do the Goggles 2 have headtracking? Do they work with the Vista and original air unit?

[@stumpjumper_ste]

They have head tracking but are only compatible at this time with the Avata, they are not compatible with the previous fpv drone or air units.

[@camazar1]

Great review! Just wondering which set of googles would be more suited for someone who needs to ware glass with the googles? I’m new to FPV & trying to make an educated purchase for my first FPV drone.

[@DroneOn]

That stuff in the trees, and over the water .. yeah. That cam is legit

[@KevinRodriguez-sh8po]

Thanks for the honest review brother! The flight time is what will make me buy this.

[@upnorthFPVandEUC]

Your real estate fly through is absolutely amazing! Have you done a tutorial on how you do your color grading? Thanks for another well done, informative video. 👊

[@sergioziroga4184]

Hello can I use this avata drone with the Big DJI FPV Remote Controller? The one I fly with the Air unit? The Big One?

[@sideburn]

I have the fpv so I already have the v2 goggles and controllers (including the black controller with the air unit for other quads). Are the new goggles compatible with the original fpv and original fpv air unit / fpv system? Wondering if it’s worth replacing my v2 goggles with the new goggles 2.

[@BengalCatChilli]

Nice work mate. Nice to see someone with some FPV knowledge cover this

[@aaron6516]

Can you use the V2 goggles with this? This is pretty sweet!!

[@OriginaldoBo]

Yes video tomorrow

[@taylanator2000]

wow that indoor video is fantastic, one of the best I've seen, mostly because I don't see the throttle bobble that you typically see (small up/down movements) - this thing is poised to be the best indoor cinewhoop money can buy

[@arkadiuszarek9902]

What about fly with other Drones in the same time ? What band And chanel use avata ? And how to swith from CE to FCC if travelling

[@YellowRoseDrones]

I'm curious about how hard it would be to "share" the same controller & goggles between the DJI FPV and Avata? I understand the need to bind them to each bird, but I already have the DJI FPV drone & would be interested in getting just the drone, plus extra batteries, to save some $$. Is that a foolish idea?

[@chriswilliams2129]

Were you able to shoot that home tour in one take?! Very impressive! That’s what I’ll be using mine for. Any pointers?

[@abdulrahmanshariff351]

My first drone Avata or Mavic mini 3 ?

[@Bdzynes]

You have such a way with flight. Nice gap under the tree at 28:53. Sweet...yet wish your videos were longer. Thanks for the review as your do holds reviews have saved me tons of money...and headaches. Have a great day!

[@Bdzynes]

Off the subject question, yet do you pre walk or pre flight/script before your flights or just free fly? You show your true flying capabilities when you flew the gap under the tree...I watch allot of professional gap flying yet you are one SICK pilot.

[@blstravlr]

What are you talking about Christopher flint it’s available to buy ?????

[@flywithmike8608]

Hey can you do a quick vid showing the binding on the standard controller? Would be appreciated.

[@johnaldape7294]

Hi Love videos I learn a lot too. Just wanted to know how does one download videos from the Avata to your iPhone or iPad. If you know could you please advise me? Thanks hope you have a blessed day. Always John

@@OriginaldoBo Thanks Ken. You're so well informed on all this stuff - always learning something from your videos.

[@kenslavikrealtorkellerwill6671]

Great Review! Thanks Ken. is there any prop wash effect indoors when flying close to ceilings or walls? Also, what impact does inertia have when flying indoors relative to the speed you fly in? Lastly, Does the drone fly in ATTI mode well? Thanks - Ken

[@OriginaldoBo]

Nope none that I could feel

[@SteveO4478]

Damn…my only draw back is that DJI is not marking a traditional controller for this package. For someone like me I’m still on analog and this would actually convince me to try out digital for the first time! Hope they come out with another package ! Thanks for the video brah!!💯✌🏽

[@AgentStarke]

That house flythrough was insanely smooth

[@bobwhitewo3b]

Ken another option for firmware updates is use a cable with a USB C 90° connector

[@OriginaldoBo]

Got one now 😎

[@warly83]

How did u get DJI to let u have the drone for free, or do u know of a way to get your feet under the table to be able to test out drones...thanks.

[@seb-depp]

Great review. I thought it would be a much worse drone. I guess I'll still keep my

[@gcopter1963]

The goggles 2 have diopter adjustment.

[@seb-depp]

@@gcopter1963 Yes, I know. But: 1. their range doesn't fit my eyes. 2. I'd have to remove the glasses and but them back on all the time. Better than nothing of course but not perfect for me (like the V2 are).

[@coolhandsluke76]

FR-ucking awesome first impression review. the flight video could not get any better (genius). Do they have geo fence on them do you know?

[@johnmorsley]

Do you know how utterly refreshing it is to watch a review without background music!? :)

[@BlueDroneBlues]

I may have some prongs that might fit in the pos and Neg connectors on the battery and I can use my Cobra charger to quickly charge them all at the same time and much quicker then this USB to USB-C to the 4 connector bar switch. It might be a thought till the updated charge that allows up to 4 batteries to be charged at once with the right connectors comes out. Maybe so, maybe not. 🤨

[@RedCornStudios]

Always appreciate your reviews and know you won't pull any punches if there is a problem area.

[@OriginaldoBo]

giving this one the green light and ordered a second one to have as a spare

[@MagicBiscuitShow]

Kewl Beans, FPV-man. The interior of the house real estate clip was super ... especially liked the transition from the bedroom out through the window to the lanai. WOO! I know you stay busy, but would you do a video comparison of this drone's video quality to the video quality Air 2s and the Mini 3 Pro. The reason is that I have a P4 Pro Plus v2.0 only, and am trying to decide on the best "2nd" drone to back it up ... and that compliments the P4 ... since I only am interested in real estate videos, homes and commercial, with progressive new site constructions thrown in. Keep on whackin' the moles, DoBo. Thanks & Cheers, Chuck (Jax, Florida) : +)

[@ClareFPV]

Does the new Goggles 2 work with old Air Unit Ken? Great Review man.

[@bizarrefpv5747]

Currently, no

I've been waiting for reviews on the Avata. Came to Ken OriginaldoBo first. I know by coming here i get a no BS honest opinion on this new quad.

[@theskyisminefpv1218]

First review that popped up in my feed , glad it was u ...

[@OriginaldoBo]

Thanks dude!

[@mixchifius]

Very good review Ken, thank you.. Is there an option to buy the goggles separately and are they compatible with the FPV Drone too? If so, how much are the gogfgles. Is the Avata already on hte shelves or is DJI doing the Pre-Order thing?

[@OriginaldoBo]

Right now it seems hodge podge for the bundles and what have you

[@vrscr06]

The forest flying video, sold me on this drone. With my skill level, this drone will fit the need I'd use it for. I'd rather not use my open exposed prop drones, as I don't have the skill confidence. Thanks for that video!

[@benjaminehrenberg]

Does it have the typical build in “No Fly Zone” restrictions like any other DJI drone? How about if you fly indoors , do you need GPS satellite connection to fly ?

[@OriginaldoBo]

You don’t need GPS in manual , yes of course there are unlock zones l. Connect the app and unlock

[@RCRitterFPV]

for most people, this makes a ton more sense than the DJI FPV... If the Google2 was backward compatible with air units and Vistas... I'd buy the drone as a toy for my wife... but umm...

[@JuanWan364]

i do want to ask for begineer FPV pilot how easy it will be compare to other FPV or the brother DJI FPV?

[@KSmedia13]

Great review! Totally niche on my part, but I am a sports live streamer and I would love to incorporate this into live streams. I saw in another video that you might be able to use the USB-C out to a monitor. Is that a clean video out we can use in live streams?

[@ansleythestewart]

This may have been answered already, but I've not been able to find it - do we know if these new Goggles are backwards compatible with the FPV? I assume they would be if the controller itself is, but haven't seen that lined out anywhere. My OG FPV goggles were glitchy and started doing this thing where they would just randomly black out mid flight...which was f'n terrifying, so I sorta gave up flying it. If these goggles can work on both systems, it'll make more sense for me to drop the cash on the Avata b-deep package.

[@OriginaldoBo]

They are not currently backwards compatible

[@ansleythestewart]

@@OriginaldoBo Well dang, that's lame. Thanks for the answer!

[@lecolintube]

I’m interested to hear more of your thoughts about first steps into FpV for newbies, but maybe aimed more at those who are keen to learn to fly manually. Getting something like the BETAfpv Cetus, and then stepping up when you feel confident to other drones (like the Avata) seems like such a good way to learn to fly. I wonder how many people would feel confident to learn to make the transition from ‘normal’ to ‘manual’ modes on the Avata, or if the price of the drone might limit this?

[@josefdahari]

Not gonna lie your review was the first review I watched brother. Great job!

[@OriginaldoBo]

I appreciate you homie!

[@MaChOnHQ]

hi dobo do you gone have on stock the prop guard in hypergreen back to order?

[@harry11374]

how about night flight?

[@captainthruster9484]

DJI should have a trade-in program like cell phones do. Sure you take a hit but it's not a total loss with a new product comes out. Especially with their lack of backwards compatibility, this particular drone does have some backwards compatibility and that's great but for the most part that's not how they operate. It'll be a huge leap of faith for its customer base, DJI is a big enough company to do something like this

[@jd2161]

and they could resell or use parts. I think it has to do with hiring more employees and logistics but its a win win for both sides if they did it

[@donovanw.2943]

Thanks for the great info! I just pre-ordered one. You might have mentioned it, but can you fly backwards with this drone? Maybe in manual mode?

[@YellowRoseDrones]

You can always fly a drone backwards, you just can't see where you're going.

[@glinkot]

Not with the included motion controller, but you can with the optional standard controller.

[@nisflix]

The camera on this little thing is so much more impressive than I thought it would be! I might have to order it... Can you share some Gyroflow footage with this quad?

[@OriginaldoBo]

Soon

[@willfullyinformed]

Loved the real estate FPV footage, I appreciate you showing that. I have my Mavic 2 Pro still which has worked amazingly for my real estate business, but I know it's getting time to upgrade soon with the insane Mavic 3, and even other drones like the mini 3 that have already surpassed the Mavic 2 Pro in quality. The only issue I have is, can this thing replace all of the real estate needs, as in, does it have enough time/power to do the usual house pans, far away flyby's, etc., and is it viable to do that professionally with 10 minute batteries, and having to mostly use the goggles while recording your shots? As a professional does this make sense? I also realize the marketing potential of separately selling FPV walkthrough's and standing out in your local area as "that amazing drone guy". I can sell my Mavic 2 Pro to cover the costs of this full package with RC controller 2, etc., and save money avoiding the Mavic 3 if it isn't necessary - though I realize the image quality is well beyond the Avata. There's a lot of pro's and con's to weigh, I just wonder how viable this is as your 1 stop drone for real estate shoots; it's one of my biggest requested services. Cheers

[@spottedcrow1126]

If it’s just for real estate I’d just stick with what you have to be honest. If it works why fix it?

[@divingfalconfpv4602]

I'd stick with mavics unless u plan on filming inside the house. Like flying in to the house then flying out the back.

[@managerofthenewportplumses301]

Ken - Asking about the interior real estate footage you have in this video, which I and I believe many of your subscribers are very interested in finding more about. I have been a Manic user for some time and know how to operate those controls. How fast are you flying this when it is in the property, and which mode are you flying in? And is the trick to use the yaw around the rooms? And do you speed up the video or slow it down in post since it was shot at 60PFS. If you are slowing down by how much? Really would love to see you do a standalone video dedicated to internal real estate shooting using this drone with whatever tips and tricks you could offer!

[@OriginaldoBo]
