Vote - shave the mustache!

[@louaybenhamida8473]

Finally you talked about it, 😂 it was disturbing the hole video tbh.

[@sumermuktawat]

Shave, like here to vote

[@a7d3nmedia]

Please shave it 😭

[@michaelokecho]

Keep it 😂

[@B-Moye]

She said she ‘doesn’t mind it’ but never said she liked it. Such a nice way to put it. Then she said she loves you no matter what which is also adorable

[@FightingMSA]

Potatoe Jet, here's the million dollar question... Do you prefer the Axis 3.5 upgrade OR the Avata 2, and would you do a comparison for us? Signed Austin Crawford

[@Mkungaa]

That lickd ad is so good, that I just forget to skip it.

[@PotatoJet]

Vote - Keep growing the mustache!

[@louisvanzyl]

Grow sideburns also!

[@JustinRY]

Shave. I have the same problem as you when it comes to growing facial hair, and it just doesn't look good on me.

[@dfgaJK]

👎

[@milkham]

just keep growing it until you have trouble eating and then decide

[@AtlanticPicture]

makes you look a bit like an 80s "Educational Movie" actor 😁

[@BreakItYourself]

I got into FPV because of you and started with the Avata. I think I’ll be doing the kit. Love you. Merry Christmas!

[@BreakItYourself]

Update: I upgraded and it's AWESOME!

[@FPV-TV419]

2 pointers... 1- swap the props for 3 bladed ones... throttle sits a little higher and is more comfortable. 2- stay away from flying near yourself with this! I'm talking from experience lol... its difficult to disarm in an emergency... it got stuck to my face and made a mess of me

[@dutchbiker7874]

😮😵🙈

[@spacemole]

You can set the 3 position switch that usually changes gimble angle, to be a killswitch.

[@paul-ku]

yes, works perfectly

[@mxracingunlimitedltd7784]

On the Avata, how do you do that? Thats been my biggest complaint so far also, but i didnt know this.. I do like having that gimbal switch when i use it in Normal and Sport mode, does it only apply to M mode or for all the modes? Thanks!

[@heathbarlow8769]

Missed you 😊. Definitely shave the bum fluff

[@AngelTECH33]

Potatoe jet does a fantastic job at filling his videos full of information in a very understable way. And make his videos interesting at every point to keep you watching. I'm used to to skipping straight to the action, but watching his videos are actually very interesting and educational if your into these kinds of tech

[@geeH2oS]

I converted mine as soon as the kit came out and haven't regretted it for one second. That's the way DJI should have shipped the Avata in my opinion. I wouldn't be surprised if the "Avata 2" turns out to be very similar to the Axis Flying kit.

[@justinmunford2164]

Was this your first time taking apart an FPV are you do have experience with it ?

[@reactiongames5520]

Any news on the avata 2?

[@0b3rz0nK]

But marketing said 3" is the new thing...

[@geeH2oS]

@@justinmunford2164 just first time taking apart the Avata

[@amando96]

You were right.

[@ammccormick]

I have an Avata and I have broken the prop guards once, and broken the downward sensor once.. So I've had to take it apart a few times and it wasn't bad to work on. I think I will probably try converting mine with this kit as well next time I break something on it. And yes, I think you should shave haha. I don't think it fits you.

[@aggonzalezdc]

Jet goes to sleep with a Chihuahua and wakes up with a lab mix! Your bed does crazy things to dogs!

[@BreakItYourself]

also, how the hell do you access the SD card now? lol

[@vitalvisualz]

I have 2 Avata’s, one with just the stock body and axis flying motor upgrade and the 2nd one with the full 3.5 axis motor conversion and both fly crazy nice. Be honest they both feel like completely different cine whoops and I can’t even consider them Avata’s anymore. But the 3.5 conversion is much more quiet then the stock even with the motor upgrade but battery drains faster while the other is very nimble but mad fast aswell. 3.5 conversion can pull out of dives with ease. Overall both upgrades are very much better

[@heitorpergher]

Hey Gene, you can config the radio for a kill switch to disarm the avata. no double tap needed.

[@RoyGregorio]

how?

[@reactiongames5520]

Woah please tell me how.

[@Voidyz]

i need to now too :c

[@sonycine]

Dreamy Dylan is the sponsorship we were all dreaming of! RIP #SonyFX6😰

[@dfgaJK]

9:39 It is not actually the sensor, it's a layer of glass so it is probably repairable. But what hit that glass that far in the mount?

[@MrPhilbautista]

Given the height of the drone when it fell, probably the back of the lens.

[@Households1234]

Love your videos over the years but getting so tired of endless drone videos. Please think of something else.

[@justincosplay]

That dream sequence was almost as good as genes stash !!! Out of this world. 😂

[@TheThaiLife]

I was excited about your sponsor but I have some yellow flags preventing me from trying it. So is Likd $15/month billed monthly after the trial or are they going to automatically for a year after the trial. The literally say nowhere and I read their entire terms page and ran it through chatgpt. If it's annual, it's way devious in the wording and the fact "annual" is listed nowhere. Also, there are dozens if not hundreds of reviews saying the music is not cleared automatically and that it has to be manually submitted and cleared... also that it's not always successful. So??

[@VinizioOficial]

I LOVED you left the music down there 5:10 so i can vibe while you fly, loved that detail

[@devronwalker6860]

Now I've been rickrolled twice in the same video lmao

[@dfgaJK]

10:17 Oh thank god it was just the Sony. I thought it was an ember you destroyed!

[@trinitrotoluene3D]

The first thing I noticed was “boy, that thing has a lot of thick plastic parts! I bet that Potato Jet will just cut off all the protective pieces.”

[@corlissmedia2.0]

Good to see you back. Love the EMOTION from your (soon to be?) wife! It added some real tension during that moment. It also made you more human / more accessible / relateable. All of that is good for your channel!

[@How-to-by-Lou]

Really cool! Not crazy about the kit but did the motor upgrade instead.. Thanks for sharing..

[@InfinityDrones]

There is a kill switch :) enable it in the settings where you push the stick in or out like you would arm it.

[@Andre-ni5xf]

Is the avata easier to fly compared to a non dji cinewhopp with for example a betaflight FC?

[@How-to-by-Lou]

Tad more complex - the avata doesn't have Angle Mode - which is also know as level mode in the liftoff simulator. Am hoping DJI pushes a firmware update allowing the avata to fly in Level Mode, all in all fun..

[@zapsizzle]

Been practicing in a simulator and will practice soldering soon! Think I should I wait for the rumored Avata 2 to come out or buy a used Avata at this point?

[@KevwePatani]

Id buy a used one so I can crash it without guilt

[@How-to-by-Lou]

Buy a used one then - takes about 4 hours to do the motor upgrade but practice on some 9$ soldering kits before working on the AVATA - reaaaaally tricky and challenging even if you're tech savvy..

[@BenTechYT]

I've seen this video 4 times now, and the only thing I'm wondering now is if it performs better than the avata 2, could someone let me know, can't find any information about this...

[@WarChortle]

Best LickD ad in the game.

[@troon333]

The Ad reads just get better and better

[@MassimoSantiniHelymax]

I have been working with drones for years but I have only recently entered the FPV world. - I have an avata and a Nazgul Evoque 5". I would like to buy a cinelog 25 and a cinelog 35. I like this idea of modifying the avata because it would allow me to mount my gp12 or my OneRS on top of the drone... also eliminating the problem of the lack of power and stability it has. Considering that I want to invest in a new RC radio and increasingly enter the serious FPV world (studying betaflight etc...) I'm not sure However, I'm sure if it makes sense for me to spend money and time to make the Avata a perhaps 'unsuccessful' 3.5"... no longer even salable rather than buying a designed and tested drone like a geprc or betafpv...thanks for the video!!

[@WhatsUpJimmyVlog]

No mustache plz🙏♥️

[@vas_mf]

That add break is something else 😅😅😅

[@BeachbumfromBrick]

My Life Dream is to learn the business… get my faa license I’m in the process of studying this weekend. Do you or know any buddies that would hire for sweat equity TO START off with? Room and board would help & mandatory living stuff. Until I’m able to bring in jobs for your or your buddies businesses… Could that ever happen? I have no kids. No responsibilities. ONLY room for growth w/my coming up in 4 years clean & sober! Even while trapped in a step parents toxic house, even! I’d TENT IT Up near the career if I was chosen. I’d be That Committed! Hmu!

[@33rdframe]

Why hack the Avata when you can just build a much cheaper, quieter, and more powerful cinewhoop

[@fcjher7736]

Don ,con asas canas y no se piensa JUBILAR,,.ES QUE ESTE HOBBY engancha hasta la muerte ¡¡Amo este MY GRAN HOBBY!! un saludo desde gran canaria las palmas 🌴 aguimes 🌴 ESPAÑA 🌴 👏 ❤❤🎉

[@pinewaves_]

I think you can remap the disarm switch to the 3 position switch that controls the camera. I did that for my Dji fpv drone. I don't double tap anymore

[@PotatoJet]

I definitely like the switch more than the double tap but when I tested it, it only disarmed in manual mode. Problem is I often hit the position hold right before crashing to see if it can save my fall, but that also pulls me out of manual mode and my disarms stop working while it flops around everywhere. I think that switch would be incredible if it worked regardless of the mode.

[@pinewaves_]

@@PotatoJet that is true... I mostly fly manual mode anyway ☺

[@Takitakk931]

Epic video I liked your content … A LOT … new suscriber…! Keep going, greetings from México ! Ay caramba …. 😅

[@siemore]

I have a video on the same upgrade and some very different thoughts than homeboy here. I’d recommend checking it out!

[@mxracingunlimitedltd7784]

Awesome video! What are the advantages of filming in 24Fps vs 30fps/60fps? Im just curious im new to video editing thats why i asked. I noticed that when i had the camera drones before the fov drones a few years back, they all had a 24fps mode and 30fps mode that was labeled HQ i think. So i used that, but i figured for faster drone shots of mountain diving or say freestyle flying. That you would want the extra fps of using 120fps/100fps? lol idk sometimes it doesnt make sense to me. On a game or sports you want your tv to have a better refresh rate for motion blur, it doesnt work the same when actually filming it? What resolution do you record at on the DJI Avata where im assuming youre not using an additional camera like a GoPro or something?

[@geopolska]

I am not a flyer yet, nor had too much of experience with them flying buggers, purchased Avata a few days ago and still waiting for its arrival. I have a question though, could prop guard from stock drone be removed and bigger props then installed? :P Edit: ok so I see now where the problem may be, it will need to have different frame ( wider/longer ) to accomodate bigger proprs, that's a bummer :P I was also thinking of custom made antenna Yagi Uda style, I have knowledge and means to make them, and isntead of ripping off existing ones from Integra it would be enough to drill two or one hole to let coax pass trough. What would you think? 5 element yagi would or could have Gain od 8dBd (approx.)

[@mxracingunlimitedltd7784]

They dont use something like INAV that has the manual mode, but also uses Normal mode for the GPS hold mode, like the DJI Drones? That way when the video was lost, instead of disarming it you could of switched it to Stabilized mode and maybe it would have recovered. Either way it seems like on something big like that and also something expensive like that, you want some good safety fallbacks

[@waf3I]

some dirt on your lip

[@Patrickjohn11]

Can I have a free fpv kit for beginner? It doesn't need to be brand new and expensive, im okay if its used and its flying, I really want to fly an fpv drone but unfortunately I can't afford to buy one because we're not that rich, I was hoping you'll give me a free fpv kit for beginner, thank you! I'm from Philippines

[@legomylago]

Shave

[@thesupremeginge]

As someone who's use to gaming at 165 FPS, these videos look so choppy. When will these grandpas stop praising? 30/24?

[@Juanmatocco]

is the first time in my life that I don't skip an ad and even turn up the volume! Killer ad over there haha

[@dsv]

voting for "shave it" :DDD

[@maskedmuchacho]

Still doesn't seem worth it to me, stock performance along with the master airscrew 3 blade props seems fine enough. Speed isn't everything 😂 You can change the button layout on the DJI remote to have a kill switch btw, the double tap is really unreliable. Hoping DJI will release another FPV drone soon and it will be a better performer than the last 2.

[@PhillyDroneLife]

Well done buddy. I did this upgrade when axis flying made the motors.. FYI all i did was the motors Anne left everything else as is. It flies 100% Better. However you got me hungry for the bigger props. Yum yum give me some tang, tang, boogie bang... Lol. Let's Rock the house. Mikey

[@jacklu-mo2ki]

Why do you care about these problems when you’ve got the avata 2? It fixed like 90% of you problems😅

[@camilo8cheryl]

This is a cheap upgrade for $130 complete upgrade kit👍 getting one and gonna cannibalize my avata👍

[@ludovicofraschetti2480]

I did the conversion and am very disappointed, baytery life is now down to 3 minutes and there is a crazy lsck of power! Anyone's having same issues?

[@cyberhawk365]

Hi Gene, that is Kakoii dude! Have you considered GEPRC Cinelog 35 v2 with Tattu P-line 5.0 batteries? It’s bind and fly so you can fly straight out of the box!

[@Rixynator]

Hate to spoil it to you but the axis mod is stupid. Once you have mod it you can't access the SD card port, you will need to get a sd card ribbon cable to reroute it. Another issue is that you will need to splice the motor cables to make it shorter for the mod. I personally do this mod for pilots here in Singapore. Imo this mod sucks and totally not recommended. Do not do this to your Avata.

[@emafpv]

Hey PJ. I just upgraded my avata. Can you tell me if at low speeds yours shakes a little like micro jitters like a bad tune or something? Thanks

[@BrendanEvan]

On the big commercial drones with mirrorless cameras, are those lenses just set to infinity? Or is someone pulling focus?

[@JDubyafoto]

You have a mustache and beard? I thought you'd just polished off some chocolate milk or something.

[@pumachabra]

sorry for your loss but lmfao at your boys hatred lol Once again, epic video. PLZ keep em coming

[@dingusmagee3326]

That's about as cool as it gets, taking a very integrated consumer drone and hot rodding it up with purpose made DIY parts.

[@gilbertsalili5530]

I like your show, I like drone, but😊 I don't have a drone, coz I don't have a money to buy it, all have is to watch all you show!

[@TGMfpv]

Man you flying a fx6 around without angle mode ready on a switch or inav with gps???? You got too much money my guy.

[@kidfromsky]

Man this was a great video! ❤️

[@Adv_Chen]

When avata hangs on GoPro11 and starts recording, does the aircraft GPS work properly?

[@stevebulawka8265]

Great and fun video.... Also, Loved the Dream Sequence.....

[@KevwePatani]

Yeah nah, it's a no for me for the moustache Maybe I'll change my tune when the rest of the facial hair comes in But i'm also not Kari so my opinion doesn't bear much weight

[@JaydenLawson]

Never flown a drone as bad as the Avata. If you’re thinking of getting in to FPV - do yourself a favour and build one yourself

[@36chethan]

I had my dji mini 3 pro crashed and i replaced it myself and the problem is the camera.. it needs calibration.. could anyone help me with the software issue

[@bryanwells3425]

Is it because 30fps is the divisible native hz of 90% of monitors you watch videos on?

[@leemaines1541]

the ad was genius - killer job lol

[@femi_abiola]

That Sony 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@andrewpatterson3139]

So basically you're gunna want to throw out everything except the vtx and fc.

[@verona1pirate]

bro to be honest i switch my dji fpv drones back into normal mode before landing because they always freak the f out and start bouncin around and shit hahaa

[@FlyturboKwad]

@Can you do the same for DJI FPV drone potato Would love to see it on a 5 or 6 inch carbon fiber frame

[@williamc2329]

Shave grow shave grow repeat a few hundred times and then, maybe, you can grow one. 😂

[@JohnTomBlack]

I'm surprised this model hasn't been updated yet. It's pretty old at this point and a pretty bad value per dollar.

[@walasfilms]

Looks like it now flies like a geprc cinebot30 but with the gps functions of a Dji drone

[@devilsreject78]

Is drone a straight garbage but I'm glad you get to make money off your affiliate links telling people how great it is

[@carlnostrand9388]

Great mod. Looking for Avata's for coastal play in AK.

[@AlmightyEye]

Looks like a cool Mod, but that super cheap plastic is off-putting for me.

[@ChaoticMatters]

My avata never works when i try to fly it. I kinda gave up on it

[@KevinBein]

OMG that dream sequence ad was awesome. That was super well done!

[@pcaddictions1581]

damn this is a cool dji avata hack i'll have to try it on mine

[@maddmavic]

Does this kit make it faster in sport and norm.mode also.ir just full manual

[@Silverbullet844]

Love your videos! Just a quick tip. You can swap the arm/disarm for manual mode to the rocker switch and then you don’t have to worry about the weird double tap disarm. 8:18

[@BreakItYourself]

thank you for this. Going to do that tomorrow

[@ImperialArmour]

Why did you disarm on video loss? Just put it into GPS rescue

[@tocarules]

@13:32. someone has beechfront on the cheap. I want to dig me a tunnel now.

[@cdudeman1988]

you can program the avata to have a killswitch with the remote controller. you just have to add it under the settings in the goggles.

[@droned9097]

Is the footage right off the drone or did you use an GoPro or something?

[@alienman7866]

how do you work with fpv? 107 states you cannot use it

[@lameandboard]

Swap the avata guts into the cinelifter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JustKatoh]

The 24fps is cringe as all hell, it really does not look better

[@denniswegner9924]

You can use the c2 Button for start und stopting the motors
