DJI AVATA REVIEW | Watch This Before Buying An FPV Drone...

[@UltraTrailSteven]

Best review I have seen so far! Loved the in depth chat about the simulator, and how long it takes to feel comfortable to fly manually.

[@pinkroomstudios]

Showing your dad flying the drone was the best way to show how easy is to fly. Great video

[@Atticusdread]

watched more than 10 reviewers, you are the most clearer to share do’s dont’s things, great!

[@erickbueza]

Love that "Kill Switch". Sounds rocket science.

[@DucatiSydney]

Peter coming up with best and honest review, this guy is an OG

[@speliotis]

wow great review of the AVATAR !!! Good to know it had a great impression on you...

[@afinney88]

What a fantastic video this is. Very informative indeed! Several tech "KZbinrs" that a follow appeared to release a video on the Avata the split second the embargo was lifted and I must say that a couple of them came across as half assed. Clearly you've spent a lot of time on this and have actually mastered flying it and it comes across in the video. Great job.

[@SerjioBall]

Your reviews are the best of all! The studio is just super! We are waiting for more informative videos!

[@M5S]

Great review Peter! First time watching! Also, nice with the twist in the end, the swenglish just like ”Vejron i ottan” /cheers fråm Jönköping ;-)

[@djoaniel]

loving the collab with Pop Lindgren! This video sold it to me. Thanks for making it!

[@Phelly2]

Great review. Regarding thumbing the stick versus pinching it, I think both are considered equally viable in the FPV community. I have to say I've mostly seen pinchers though, as two fingers gives better dexterity than one. Some pro pilots, like "Captain Vanover" and "Mr. Steele", use a hybrid of the thumb and pinch. That is, the index finger touches the side of the stick like it's going to be a pinch, except the thumb sits on top of the the stick instead of the side. Vanover's flying, in particular, is extremely smooth.

[@RobertWildling]

Excellent! And entertaining! And lovely pronunciation of Avata! And beautiful landscape! And great dad!!! Thank you! - Where is that wonderful creek?

[@sarcasticklebb1635]

Gotta say probably the best review I've seen of the DJI AVATA. You should review more drones

[@Indpendent01]

0:20 lol did everyone go to the same place (Iceland?) to test their DJI Avata 😆

[@HikingWithCooper]

I love that simulator. This is the first time I’ve seen that feature and I’m rabbit holing the Avata videos.

[@paulcain548]

Best review yet. Papa Lindgren brought it home 👍🏻

[@pedropires1686]

you sir made me buy this little beast !! thanks man great work

[@Bubbashin]

Hi I'm a little late on the tips but if you see this I noticed that when you do inside flying you throttle it when you crash don't do that it's ok outside but inside just remove all throttle. Great vid very informative.

[@endasthenrik516]

THIS is how a review should be! Awesome Peter!

[@PNW_Photography_Film]

Best review I've watched for anything new. Very in depth with everything, great walk through of what it is capable of doing, and very informative. Keep up the awesome work

[@PeterLindgren1]

Thank you!

[@donpodlas5546]

Thanks Peter, great vid! Yeah, I just pulled the trigger on the Avata. This is my first "air toy" that I have spent over a thousand dollars for. But after your review, I feel much more confident. I got the package that only contains the motion controller. I'm glad I did! The two main reasons I bought this was one, I've always wanted to experience FPV flight experience and two, to get into some entry level videography. I've flown a few lower end drones and fixed wing for a few years now and really enjoy. Mine doesn't ship until the 30th of this month, can't wait! Thanks again for all the information. Stay safe and be well. Cheers!

[@sewerhunk5327]

Awesome video. Had no clue about the simulator mode

[@fitnessandfilm]

Great review Peter! I’m still just in the simulator but I brought it with me to Spain this weekend, hopefully I will take it for a maiden flight in the mountain! Good work and good flying!

[@jhonatanrubio6695]

this is the best guide for a drone ever, thank you bro.

[@skyviewmediaHun]

Fantastic review! You should do the hack from CE to FCC mode to get more range.

[@misterethemystery2647]

I love this drone and what you said about durability is completely true. I have crashed it full speed into trees and metal poles and the ground, and it came out without a scratch.

[@MrJgonzo23]

I love this video because I just bought this drone and you gave me a real perspective of what I should expect and I appreciate that

[@12yfilms]

OMG your footage is some of the best I've seen on the Avata!

[@ecellis9651]

Thanks for reminding me to watch this video after watching you on the simulator stream. Great perspective on the Avata as a FPV beginner!

[@subsea77]

Good review. And I love how you say Avata. I am now going to adopt this way of saying it 😉

[@RyanSotelo]

When you let your dad fly I had the biggest smile on my face, amazing content man keep it up!

[@IdanKim.702]

Thanks again for the great video cant wait to own one my self soooon!!

[@tristanwilhelm9600]

Great video and review man, much appreciate it. Thinking about this one, since I bought the Mavic pro about six years ago.

[@lucanixfpv]

Just a thing i noticed :D You just want to loosen the left stick (or the one that throttle is on) The other side is supposed to center. Hope that helps

[@PeterLindgren1]

Oh really? I can't imagine flying with it stiff!

[@lucanixfpv]

@@PeterLindgren1 yeah the reason for that is that u want throttle to stay where you put it. But for pitch and roll you want it to return to the center so the drone doesn't continue to roll foreward for example. But i guess if it works it works :D And for the throttle you can adjust the "grip". so how easy it is to move.

[@bardomeister]

Jep, I noticed that as well! Just the left stick for the best results 😁

[@JoutsideTO]

Yep, noticed this too!

[@richardjeffries1133]

Yes only reason you can loosen both is for 2 diffrent flying controls.. Some use throttle on the right stick.. So only use throttle stick loose

[@DGRAID]

Very nice review! Thank you!

[@sirnh]

I loved watching your father flying for the Avata for the first time.

[@greatgandalf5233]

This is by far, is what it's like to fly a low level in a Tactical Jet... but without the "hazard" of really being there...

[@AirKhanFPV]

As a FPV pilot i can say it flies really really well for a cinewhoop i mean the dji fpv was a desaster but the avata has a really nice tune for m mode and its very durable and care refresh is not so expensive like it was for the dji fpv drone. The Avata and the new Goggles2 are really nice, the only thing what i want is full gyroflow support for all FOVs and maybe if it is possible 4:3 in 4K at least in 30fps, oh yeah and 30fps and also 25fps and 24fps are things that i miss.

[@morchangstudios]

Great presentation! That SD slot design though ….?

[@Sassannid]

Best Avata review I've seen! That was great that you included your dad in it to show how user friendly the motion controller is. I'm a drone noob, I just bought my first ever one, a Mini 2, and I think I am going to return it because I find the whole flying experience pretty boring. Just fly here in a straight line, fly there in a straight line, etc. Takes great video, but I think my interest is in FPV. I'm trying to decide between getting a good long range, long run time 5" drone, something like the GEPRC Croc Baby 4 HD, along with DJI goggles and controller, or if I should just get the Avata bundle instead. Both bundles will be roughly the same price, around $1100-1200 before getting any extras, so it's not cheap. I think I will spend another few weeks practising in simulators until a great sale pops up somewhere

[@lukasg6254]

Some Video, some Review! Well done Peter!

[@RGMGFitness]

Best FPV product DJI has released yet! Been flying it since released and it’s great. 👍👍👍

[@bradjusticephotography330]

Solid review. Thanks, Peter!

[@echodroneservice]

Fantastic honest review!!

Personally i would love to have a bigger avata with the mavic 3 sensor. THAT would be a Gamechanger imo ... but i would even be happy if the goggles would work with the mavic 3 and with low latency ... that would also be a game changer

[@lynsmith1096]

Great video and tips Peter Just subscribed.

[@tuankhoiphan1824]

love this drone. Thanks sir

[@PeterLindgren1]

Me too, so much fun!

[@MrEddieNunez]

So cool that your dad got to experience FPV with the Avata!

[@turboman2019]

Excellent explanation,instruction,and review on the Avata.👍👍👍

[@sirnikolas]

G'day Peter! Thanks for the awesome video! 😻 Are the new DJI goggles compatible with the DJI mini 3? Thanks from downunder! 🇦🇺😍

[@tommypson]

Finally, been waiting a long time for a good review! Awesome work dude!🙌🏼

[@PeterLindgren1]

Thanks buddy 🫡

[@SparaCash]

Piece of cake 🤌😂😂 legend!!!

[@HiethGeorge]

Your Dad was ace at flying the Avata - put me to shame - will have my video up soon ! Not sure I will be doing manual mode too soon !

[@80Jay71]

Nice work! May I ask what area you were flying in? It look like skatås at first, but I'm not sure.

[@GaryCunninghamyouareenough]

Your honesty is so very much appreciated 🙏🏻🤟

[@100mphClub]

Most honest review I’ve seen so far. My biggest concern is motion sickness.

[@ardevop]

For me the simulator makes me sick (android phone lacks the fps), but when flying real 1080p 100hz it is much better. 6 people tried it and only 1 got slight motion sickness after few minutes.

[@100mphClub]

@@ardevop Good to know not to immediately give up on it based on the simulator.

[@AndyDickason]

Great video on the Avata.... But what I was wondering is what coat are you wearing? Love it...

[@jwlee9791]

nice review!! you should try flying a freestyle quad with 6S :) You will love it. I love my avatar!

[@haraldstein2987]

Thank you for this informative Video.

[@mhumienny]

Great review, thank you for that :) I saw a video when someone attached gopro Black Bones (without LCD and very light weight). This is a good solution for low quality of the camera.

[@Bollibompa]

Did you send all your footage to Lantmäteriet since you film the horizon?

[@aminbarreto77]

Thanks petter for sharing about dji avata,its awesome 🫡🔥

[@jimnardone32]

STRONG INFORMATION..THX

[@jakupmadsen490]

Did you fly it in Iceland or the Faroe Islands? (the video clips where the drone flyes/follows the path of the river through the little gorge)

[@frame24realestatemarketing]

awesome video and please bring back Papa Lindgren for every video, he looks like the sweetest papa in the whole of Sweden!

[@PeterLindgren1]

I'll make sure to bring him back lol!

[@frame24realestatemarketing]

@@PeterLindgren1 give him the controller, put it in Manual Mode and then see if he still thinks it is "a piece of cake" 😁 Seriously, I think it is super nice that you included him in the video!

[@MicroFourNerds]

Taking mine out today it’s all very exciting! I’ve already FCC hacked it because the range in the UK is so crippled! I wish there was a switch to turn the throttle spring on and off rather than having to unscrew inside. It makes switching from N/S to M so slow

[@PeterLindgren1]

Haha good luck buddy! Yeah it's a little tedious but i think it works great!

[@MicroFourNerds]

@@PeterLindgren1 crashed it twice 🤣 it’s definitely robust!

[@sahrawee]

​@@MicroFourNerds how did you manage to hack it? I want to do the same for my drone as I am also in the UK

[@MicroFourNerds]

@@sahrawee just need to put a text file on the sd in your goggles it’s dead easy. I found a youtube video showing how. I just searched for fcc hack until I found something. There’s a paid app that’ll do it but the text file is free and easy

[@sahrawee]

@@MicroFourNerds nice one. Much appreciated

[@melvinesmith]

Nice video mate 🙏👌

[@patc2515]

this was a really awesome and we'll done review. thanks for not just reviewing this set up but for taking the time and care to really make feel familiar with it. this was so informative and I feel like I really know what I'm getting into before buying this drone and I'm not sure I've ever said that before. dJI and other companies should really lean into your style of review content and send you more stuff. thanks man I really appreciate this! I'm subbing and hope to see your channel hit 1 million soon! cheers!!

[@MaurizioAzzalini]

@Peter have you tried the FCC hack to increase the goggles' range?

[@jamesblake1848]

Now this was a good vid. Thanks 👍👍

[@TimmywithT]

Grym video Peter! Fortsätt så!😊

[@jontehaglund]

Good damn, now i need to buy one. Looks sooooooo good! Great job Peter!

[@alivemoveon]

Very good and honest review video from a less experienced fpv pilot.👍👍👍

[@PeterLindgren1]

Thank you!

[@thoughts_are_free]

very good video.... to me one of the best about flying the Avata... all important tip's are here... very well done!

[@PeterLindgren1]

Thank you!

[@CARandDRONE]

This was adorable! 😊

[@GearZenChannel]

I have known people over 65 who still skydive weekly. Being older doesn't necessarily make you incompetent. I do agree that many older folks are less tech savvy, but I always pause when I hear a generalization. Also, I plan to do most of the same things that I do not well into my old age.

[@meditationdaily1129]

Great review!! Does it have any auto modes like quick shots on the mini 2?

[@Wingbreezer]

Vilket drönarkort behöver man ha för avata? Letat runt men har svårt att tyda reglerna, tacksam för svar 🙂 sjukt bra review 👍

[@SultanBudiman]

wonderful nature. i like AVATA 🙂

[@rkivlogi]

So good once again. Helpful and very detailed, but not like boring detailed. Captured the essential amount of information into the video. Thank you dear sir 👌

[@farcool6037]

Peter there is a pause button to just stop the drone if you think you are about to crash, you don't have to use the "kill switch"

[@PeterLindgren1]

Same function I guess 😊

[@MortenNormannAlmeland]

It was a great video!!! I just subscribed

[@PeterLindgren1]

Thank you! Welcome to the channel :D

[@stuartjones2469]

Hello, there would you say that the motion would work with using the left hand as in all the reviews so far everyone uses the right hand?

[@JoeCoachTV]

Thanks for sharing the great video~!👍

[@ZenoMinus]

After a week of use I can say that to me the best use is taking advantage of one shot video without cut, filming close elements and then from distance.

[@ardevop]

Record everything, then cut things later. I have noticed that FPV is good for fast paced shots or short clips that add dynamics to your regular drone videos and are not meant to fully replace regular drone shot in means of quality or stability. Also a good tip is not to steer right after you fly through something and fly a little bit forward, it makes much easier editing and more fluid and stable video in the end. Watching pure FPV shots makes people kind of dizzy.

[@freeflightfilms7403]

good video , you mentioned loosing signal with the goggles, there is a goggle hack to make signal stronger and fly safer

[@PeterLindgren1]

Yeah it doesn’t matter when you fly behind stuff though

[@joshrathbun1]

welp, just bought one! Cant wait to add to the arsenal of tools for content creation! WOOT!

[@mitchmitchell7739]

Great review! Is there a reason that DJI doesn't offer the normal RC with this drone? Every review I've seen the reviewer uses the standard RC but you can't get it through DJI. I would have purchased an Avata already but not without the normal RC as that is what I'm used to and feel it has better control.

[@SouthBayFamily]

This is a Great video Super great thanks

[@AndyKunkel]

This is a great drone to get into the FPV world it looks like

[@xploraflorida]

Love your videos bro... keep them coming.

[@PeterLindgren1]

Thanks buddy, there's a lot more to come!

[@eMxPi]

Nice one as always Peter!

[@PeterLindgren1]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@eMxPi]

@@PeterLindgren1 wanted to make the same series about starting FPV with it. Too bad I can"t afford it for now 😉

[@hornpoutclout]

I’m planning on letting my pops with dementia give it a shot. Thanks for your video

[@jasonharris630]

Did you happen to get the CE version? If so your range might be affected. The FCC version has great range with zero cutout.

[@roylaon]

Tack för dina ärliga reviews… hur är denna drönaren att flyga inomhus här i Sverige? Går det?

[@allenwc]

Well … That was excellent. Excellent. Made making my new drone decision easy. Thanks for that. 👍

[@MIAAPAPA]

Should i get the new combo that comes with googles 2 or the v2s??

[@tomkolo100]

You think first learning on the motion controller, and then moving to the manual controller would be a good idea or would that hinder the manual skillset? My goal is to fly manual, but I have no experience and the controller isn't in stock anyway.

[@PeterLindgren1]

If your main goal is to fly Manual it’s nothing similar to the motion controller unfortunately. But it’s a lot of fun!

[@AramWard]

The perfect review.

[@eco999]

I guess this is minor but I would consider "Pause button" as a kill switch rather than M/S/N toggle on the controller. No issues with light leak on the goggles and their fit? I am glad that very poor signal strength was mentioned. Typical in EU. This is a real shame when flying around buildings and it is night and day difference to how good it flies in US with stronger (FCC) power. Great review regardless. Very informative, great shots and editing!
