Pro FPV Pilots Try The DJI Avata 2!

9:20 "OMG! Shopping cart!!! " Lol I just got my Avata 2 this morning, but it is pouring out so I will have to wait until tomorrow to try it for the first time. I have never flown a FPV drone before and I am pretty excited especially after watching this video. Thanks for the content and keep up the great work!

wow Jay is incredibly skilled. He made manual mode look so easy!

[@HondaCrf450r.]

he is a pro that's why.

[@stevecorcoran9869]

After watching a pile of these Avata 2 videos, it has become obvious that anyone who has spent a large amount of time with a standard RC controller flying FPV drones really does not care for the motion controller BUT people new to drones all love it because it is so intuitive if you have not conditioned your brain to how a drone behaves when using a standard radio.

[@brucecampbellx]

This. 100%.

[@LeviWarkentin]

How come no one is really covering the pip or passthrough tech. I'm curious if it's any good or worth upgrading the goggles for

[@Cody-k4t]

because it probably the first of its kind and probs has its own quirks it needs to be patched or upgraded later down the line

[@craftedkwads]

The PiP mode was only added in the launch software. It wasn't in the factory software when reviewers got the promo units.

[@howardprince8996]

I purchased this today and the goggles are way clearer than the previous ones and the pip is amazing. I’m in law enforcement and we use the Avata for building searches and this is a game changer with that option

[@GameChronicles]

@@howardprince8996 I got my Avata 2 Saturday and while it was charging, I watched Friday's episode of SWAT which had a recon drone styled after Avata with thermal imaging, a battering ram to smash windows, and they even used turtle mode and called it out by name. It survived a baseball bat strike but not a pointblank shotgun blast. Hope your agency upgrades to the Avata 2 just for the 81db That old Avata was a SCREAMER.

[@ctvaughan6623]

I know it’s been 3 months, but maybe this info will still be useful. I have really liked having pass though and pip. I use it when taking off from places where I can’t just go directly up (like near trees for example). I watch the drone in 3rd person with pass though to make sure I don’t get to close to something and use the fpv view in the top left to make sure I don’t smack into anything as I accelerate. You switch between pip fpv view by double tapping the side of the goggles. I found switching views to be a little finicky at first but it works fine, it just requires a pretty specific interval between the taps. Too fast and it doesn’t work, same with too slow, but once you get used to it it’s easy without a second thought. Looking at the used market it seems like you can probably get around $300 for your goggles 2, while Goggles 3 are $499. The new features work fine and are very useful, but it’s for you to decide if they are worth the $200 difference to upgrade

[@Islanddronie]

Great video man I always wanted to fly and kinda perform that shot where your flying forward and looking at the subject sideways. Didn’t know how to do it but through your video now I know. Thank you

[@eltongameiro]

Could you tell me what the dimensions and weight of the combo box with the 3 batteries are?

[@bugubuguboo]

[@radovanthefoley]

Nice video! One question, are we sure DJI has the same curve kne normally asumes? I mean I saw DJI Air (I assume) video, where expo is also visualized in DJI gui and it was not linear at 1, but at around 0.5. Values over 0.5 created the opposite effect, lots of input around center. I am having hard times to actually google simple curve representation for avata 2... But I am afraid DJI is most probably unified across its devices.

[@ixilone9]

I'm having so much fun with this drone!

[@ukmonk]

So indoors it doesn’t really matter about GNSS signal as long as your HD/RC connection is strong then the Avata 2 will fly well?

[@madigge]

Despacito guy is hilarious 😅 Boom right there for a fun vid!

[@EdEditz]

@9:05 It doesn't have any obstacle avoidance period!! Not in any mode. Obstacle avoidance is not something you want on a drone that you use in close proximity of objects. The drone would constantly stop on you. It does have downward and backward visional positioning to improve flight safety and that works in both modes.

[@prairieskycam]

Glad you pointed this out. I noticed the error as soon as he said it. 👍

[@ernieschatz3783]

It has downward vision sensors that turn off in sport mode, so you need to be mindful at low altitude. He probably used "obstacle avoidance" because he was talking a mile a minute.

[@Fixx96]

What is the weight of the avata.

[@bakayarukonoyaru9627]

1 ton

[@7996hobguy]

377 grams with battery.

No reason to.

[@playtimefpv]

Hyperview

[@konnerciardella6759]

Just get a cinewoop or a 5 inch if you're gonna do that. This isn't the drone to mount things to lol

[@1snapdog]

I'm blind in one eye. Does the image in the goggles show the same thing on each eye screen?

[@Templartey]

For flying it does. For the see through of the goggles 3, you can set it to "3D", which would usually give you a bit of depth perception, but this is super unimportant (and doesn't work for the picture in picture mode, which I would say is much better, anyways). So - in short: Yes, same picture and you can fly with blindness in one eye.

[@ahaskhan]

Can I use the motion 3 and new headset with original avata?

[@DirtyBird]

Not at this time. The Goggles 3 & MC3 currently only work with the Avata 2, Air 3, & Mini 4 Pro. Note also you can now fly the Air 3 & Mini 4 Pro with the Goggles 3 while using either the MC3, RC-N2, or DJI RC2 controllers so that is a hugely requested upgrade. In the Avata 2 (Drone Only) Quick Start Guide there are instructions for linking the drone with the Goggles 2, Goggles Integra, & Motion Controller 2. This indicates DJI plans on making the Avata 2 compatible with the older goggles, MC2, & I would assume the FPV Controller 2, at a future date. It is unknown at this time whether they will make the Goggles 3/MC3 backwards compatible with the original Avata or any other models that do not support O4?

[@KarlBerlin]

Is it as loud as the original Avata???

[@Rafaelinux]

Potato jet claims there's a noticeable improvement in the noise department. He has a few recording examples on his channel.

[@smakersify]

Are the prop noise reduced from the first Avata?

[@GameChronicles]

Greatly reduced. 81db and no more high pitch screeching.

[@aiooia]

Is it going to be compatible right out the box with other radio controllers? I'm new to fpv drones, just curious if i can get the radiomaster or jumper instead of the dji controller without having to wait for some compatibility device/software.

[@biglizardmedia]

No, the DJI drones can only be operated by the DJI controllers. If you are using an Air O3 unit inside a home built drone, you can use ELRS or any other link as long as you have the right receiver

[@kalesauce9529]

Unfortunately for the avata 2 currently you can only use the motion controller or the DJI controller 3. it may be compatible with the controller 2 soon.
