I'm going the same way. Training in Liftoff, right now some 7 hours of simulator training. First hours were pure WTF, around 5 hours I somehow got used to how the drone operates, it seemed to happen like a switch clicking, one moment to another the brain adapted to the flight mechanics. Now, after around 7 hours I changed the settings in the Avata to get Manual option. Liftoff is a great tool to learn acro. You shouldn't give up at the beginning. For a long time it feels almost impossible to ever be able to control the drone like this. Just keep practicing. After a few hours it suddenly works. Then you can continue to sharpen your skills in the simulator, e.g. by following the racing cars and "filming" them while they are drifting. Then things start getting interesting. 🙂 I consider the Avata as an entrance ticket into Acro FPV. Somehow the driving school. I consider upgrading to a race quad when I feel ready to do so.

Where are you guys getting the simulator training from if you don’t mind me asking? I just got a Mini 4 Pro and can’t seem to find any kind of simulator myself. TIA.
@SpeedsterIG Жыл бұрын
@@midinut Ir's a simulator called Liftoff, but it is for FPV flying only, not for the usual camera drones like the Mini series. For the DJI Avata in manual mode or the DJI FPV the simulator can be very useful. But not for any other DJI drone.

Apparently Avata 2 is quieter but not so strong. Enjoyed your video.. Respect.

My first time flying the fpv in acro/manual I was 45 second flying when I hit a fenced breaking my camera screen. So I sent it to get fixed then bought the avata. The avata is better to learn to fly in acro because of speed difference and how avata response. Keep up the good flying and keep the good videos coming.

That's amazing for being on the sticks for the first time! I've spent about 3 weeks in the simulator and just under 2 week on the field and I'm nowhere near that smooth. I think it's mostly my anxiety about crashing even though I purchased DJI CARE like with my other DJI products. I also wish I had access to a large open field like that. The largest I've found so far has been baseball field and when you're learning how to turn you run out of room quick on a baseball field. The funniest thing is I've been having problems flying at a slow speed. I've changed the camera angle and I helps a little. I think I have to play with the rates a bit and get better at throttle control. I built a 6s 5 inch quad but I won't fly it until I'm good with the Avata a my tinyhawk 2 FS.
