Was the DJI AVATA 2 a MISTAKE? - Cinematic Longterm Review

[@Simply.Ondrej.Fiedler]

I crashed my Avata 2 the same way - underestimated the dive recover power. Fortunately I was luckier than you and only scraped the plastic feet on the bottom 😀

[@MatthiasDangl]

Lucky you hahah! Just got mine back from DJI today for only 100€ repair cost (I didnt have care refresh).

[@conorstewart2214]

@@MatthiasDangl out of all DJI drones, one that you are going to fly manual is probably one you should have gotten care refresh for.

[@BlairAir]

That would be OVERestimating. Underestimating is when something does better than you expected!

Production quality is top notch as always 👌

Much appreciated Brodie!

Has anyone noticed how so many KZbinrs are now taking a moment in their videos to promote ads? It seems like with more people subscribing to KZbin Premium and skipping traditional ads, brands have shifted to using the creators themselves for promotion. What’s interesting is that you can often tell these ad segments were recorded separately and added later-they don’t always blend seamlessly with the original video. It’s a clever way to keep revenue flowing, but it’s hard to miss when the tone or style suddenly shifts mid-video.

[@fadedchicken]

Yeah a lot of podcasts do the same thing

[@mhz90718]

I use Vanced, skips all sponsored segments.

[@YasinBikmazer]

You can use sponsor block chrome extension. The best with premium..

[@gerardofierro379]

You got the rest of that myb fpv footage it looks 🔥🔥🔥

[@SIIIREX]

Wie immer super Video Matthias! Freue mich auch schon auf meine Avata 2 im kommenden Frühling - bis dahin übe ich noch fleißig am Simulator 😁 LG Christian

[@MatthiasDangl]

Sehr gut, schonmal viel Spaß!

[@shakamediacr]

What about in strong winds? Is it still good?

[@MatthiasDangl]

No, in strong winds you can bring it back, but you can't fly smoothly. For that, a 5" or 7" fpv drone is recommended

[@TahianaOfficialTV]

Madagascar! 🇲🇬 my beloved native country! And basically I landed here because I recently invested in the Avata 2. Thanks for this very informative content man!

[@MatthiasDangl]

Madagascar is beautiful! Thanks for your feedback

[@Soli_KicksTV]

How much did get cost you to get it fixed?

[@fadedchicken]

He replied to the top comment saying it cost 100€

[@carlonchino]

I have the Avata 1, do you recommend me to change to the Avata2? I need it for cinematic flights

[@MatthiasDangl]

You can see the quality difference, so I’d personally switch

[@plu_2]

hello what is the device on top of avata2 in africa 5min 39sec? thanks a lot for report and sharing experience

[@CCC0122]

Great Video! I'm about to buy an HD setup for real estate. I want to get the Avata 2, but it comes with the DJI Integra goggles, and I'm not sure if that pair of goggles is going to be compatible with the DJI O3 VTX and Camera setup? Did you buy this as a package, or did you buy the drone, goggles, and remote control separately? I also want the regular remote control. Okay, at 6:00 minutes I see you mentioned the goggles 2 and the dji air o3 but how about the Integra and do you see dji moving to close their gaps in backwards/forward compatibility? Thanks

[@ADDG880]

Avata 2 works with Goggles 3

[@el-fotografo_de]

Mein Abo haste sowas von Safe seit einigen Tagen - Nachdem ich deinen Kanal gefunden habe 😀 ! Die Avata 2 habe ich gestern bekommen und übe fleissig am Simulator, da ich nur die Mini 3 Pro gewohnt bin. Das sind zwei Welten 😀 Liebe deinen Kanal und deine FPV Shots ! Die sind einfach unglaublich geil!!!

[@MatthiasDangl]

Danke, viel Spaß mit der Avata 2! 🥳

[@AgustinArneodo]

Excelente video 🎉❤

[@MatthiasDangl]

Thank you!

[@dmytrooliinyk3083]

lovely content, thanks! But in a nut shell, would you recommend buying the Avata2 or ... ? Cheers

[@MatthiasDangl]

Yes, 100%!

[@vatsalkonkani]

Did any one have issue with RC3 stick giving wrong movements ? Mine is giving 100% yaw to right when at throttle 0-1%

[@MatthiasDangl]

Did you try re-calibrating?

[@vatsalkonkani]

@@MatthiasDangloh yh. It does show 100% yaw. And also tried refresh update roll back to old and then to new. Checked them both. Problem was there. I think it’s hardware issue. 😢

[@vatsalkonkani]

@@MatthiasDanglFinally problem solved. I am not sure what was the reason. But i opened RC3 mechanicals were working normal. So i removed all cables connected to joysticks and reattached them. Tested before fitting it and it was back to normal but i am sure this will come back after few days months. Something wrong with joystick sensors or cables I don’t know for sure but they were making wrong inputs and not the stick.

[@MoisesBowe]

Hey Matthias! Thank you for the video! In Gyroflow, how to you do to avoid strong zoom in when you have 'freestyle' shots with the Avata II?

[@MatthiasDangl]

Hi, I usually use a lower "Smoothness" setting, because this keeps some smaller movements which leads to more action-style shots. And due to that, there is less zooming as well. Also, make sure to set the correct in- and out-points instead of just stabilizing the whole clip. Happy flying!

[@MoisesBowe]

@@MatthiasDangl Alright! Thanks for the tips! Amazing shots btw!

[@timelapsebylkunl72]

Great longterm review. I wish avata 2 have 5K resolution same as go pro does. After use gyroflow avata 2 4:3 4k footage is a bit soft on corner.

[@MatthiasDangl]

True, there still is a difference. Let's see what the future brings.

Very nice review, thinking to sell my avata to get the avata 2

[@MatthiasDangl]

Thank you!

[@sntakufpv]

Hey ! :D happy to ear that u have enjoy Madagascar :D When u have brought your drones at this country, do you have struggle with some authorisations to fly or to take them with u ?

[@MatthiasDangl]

Taking drones into the country was easy. Flying as well. But some spots need special authorization, which you can apply for in Antananarivo

[@sntakufpv]

@@MatthiasDangl Thanks a lot 👌

[@XynesterPala-og]

thanks for the review

[@incognito3743]

Why not carry both to be on the safe side?

[@sunchaserz]

How does 4:3 help shoot for KZbin and instagram at the same time?

[@TheOnlyJohnAbraham]

It's taller than 16:9 so you get more in the frame when cropping for vertical formats.

[@Backdraft1123456]

Super Video! Danke! Hast du die Flugeinstellungen im M-Mode verändert? Falls ja, wäre Mega nice diese zu erfahren. Danke

[@MatthiasDangl]

Danke! Ich hab verschiedene PID settings probiert, aber muss sagen, dass ich mit den Standardsettings von der Avata 2 am glücklichsten bin.

[@NaveenKumar-np3ct]

That was a very good review..

[@MatthiasDangl]

Thank you!

[@markochmilenko6358]

bro, didn't you have such a problem with FPV rc 3 that the Russian throttle only responded from the center of the joystick? Because I have this problem now and I don't know how to solve it)

[@gowthams5967]

My footage has been pixelating since day one. Even 4K footage is not good. I understand that it's not logical to compare Avatar 2's footage with Air 2S footage, but I still haven't been able to get clear footage at all from the Avata 2.

Check the speed of your SD card. For 4K footage you need a really fast UHS Speed Class 3 (U3) and Video Speed Class 30 (V30) card. I had the same issue with my 4K action camera before I learnt what the issue was.

[@gowthams5967]

Thanks for the information. I totally agree with what you said. Also, I connected with DJI Care, and they asked me to refresh the firmware (not update) via the DJI consumer app, and it's perfectly fine now.

[@kilian.uptempo]

Mega Video , kannst du mal ertklären auf was du beim Filmen mit der Avata2 achten würdest :)

[@andter1939]

Thank you!!!

[@cinematicfpv31]

Habe mir die dji fpv mit 1nem akku und abata mit 3 akkus und care redresh für ein jahr für 700€ gekauft, der verkäufer meinte er habe sie jeweils 1,2 mal benutzt waren in perfektem zustand. Meinst du der preis war gut? Brauch ich wenn ich die beiden hab ne avata 2?

If you can, please somebody help me with 3d text in videos im getting erorrs and google isnt helping me '(

Nice subbed your channel

[@leo_dron]

Crashed dji avata 2 same way it struggles to recovery after dive, i thinks its better use another custom drone for that

[@MatthiasDangl]

Damn! I switch between flying Avata 2 and the GEPRC Cinelog35, so sometimes it's difficult to get used to the different power of the drones.

[@gamerroky374]

Warum nicht mehr auf deutsch?

[@MatthiasDangl]

Ich hab angefangen auf Instagram mehr englische educational Videos zu posten, weil ich dadurch eine viel größere Zielgruppe erreicht habe. KZbin leidet aktuell leider noch etwas drunter, aber auf lange Sicht will ich einfach international andere Creator unterhalten und educaten.

[@TechNicolas]

[@RedzicAnel]

Motion array is too expensive

[@olabergvall3154]

I don't think you should be calling dji Care Refresh "Free". I already run across that misconception enough as it is. Good video though!

[@TechNicolas]

We need to have an Avata vs. 3 inch FPV Copter from you

[@MatthiasDangl]

Good idea 🤔

That underpowered battery will sneak up on you lol

I am guessing that it wasn't a MISTAKE?

6months is not "longterm"

Yes its a mistake.... its okay ill take it off your hands for 5$

Let's say $400

​@@MatthiasDangl 400$ for just the drone?🤔
