What I don't like about the DJI Avata 2

[@CMDR_Shokwave]

That place just makes me want to sit back and crack open a refreshing Nuka-Cola. The good thing about the goggles 3 is that you can watch out for the raiders and deathclaws while you're flying.

[@sgtroc4699]

Gotta love Fallout. Don't forget your Nuka-Cola mug.

Awesome Content KEN. . I been with you for many years. I think you were around 7 or 800 subscribers. It’s been a great ride. Hard to believe you’re about to hit 100k the big check mark. That’s validation & a HUGE Milestone. You grinded and put in the work. Well deserved Ken. So when is the 100k party? lol LFG

Silver play button is right around the corner. What a great time we had. Thanks again for convincing me to go.

We did the most we could in 2.5 days 😂 couldn’t of asked for a better person to roll with

[@DavidReynolds-kr6yh]

The avata 2 isn’t really made to be for the racers and freestylers that want to win competitions, it’s made as a stop gap between the 2 different types of drone consumers, those who want both a cinematic drone and a freestyle drone. It does a reasonable job of both, great cinematic videography and fun freestyle videos. You get great video and still have great fun while doing it. I’ve got my hands on one and have my original avata up for sale. Still waiting on the RC3 controller, because of course it’s sold out, but at least I have it on back order. Already taken it, on my second battery charge out to 3.5 kilometres when it went into return to home mode in strong wind and in sport mode. Still had slightly over 20% battery left, and I’m sure that if it wasn’t in sport mode and that I’d gone up to 500 metres I’d probably make 5 kilometres easily. Love, love ,love it and can barely wait till I get the new controller , not that I’m a great freestyle flyer, but I can fly freestyle in full manual mode. I loved that hotel, what a good price for a decent looking hotel, I’d be willing to bet that the next time you head out that way again, that you’ll stop there again. All the best from Australia mate.

[@RonaldBrown59]

Great location to test out the new DJI Avata 2, and you had a good crew with you. You got some really cool shots, thanks for sharing.

[@Joe_Fotoleo]

Awesome video and meetup, Ken. I loved meeting and flying with Sean at spin up, awesome dude.

[@SeanOzz]

Awwwww, shucks. 😊

[@Carguyforlife]

Joe! 😃 you gonna be at SpinUp 2024?

[@Carguyforlife]

Really enjoyed this one, always cool to see FPV footage of places like this. Definitely a different type of bando. 99.7k subs right now, hopefully you'll hit your goal soon man!

[@BAMDrones-MichaelBelshe]

Awesome you are almost to 100k subscribers! I know you will exceed it! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Avata 2! I’m going to have to stick with the good old potato for now!

[@clarkjamesdigital]

imagine if they upgraded the action 2 to use the sensor from the action 4, which would then be perfect for home built fpv, and the avata 2 had a magnetic mount on the top which could interface with the camera to provide a dual camera set-up, allowing us to use cinematic frame rates, flying with underexposure to maintain detail in the sky (or just allowing the pilot camera to auto expose quickly for better visibility while flying and keep the recording camera to auto expose slowly), and there could be an option to have picture in picture for both cameras, or switch views in case you have locked in your settings and then the light changes- there's nothing worse than knowing your go pro is going to be totally wrong because the conditions have changed, we badly need to be able to control our recording camera remotely, of course you can fly back close to you and hopefully connect to it with the app but without gps hold or running inav it's a challenge

[@etric4947]

Will it lift my GoPro 11 mini so I can shoot in Hyperview or Superview like I do with the Avata 1 ?. Thanks.

[@danielareias145]

thanks for feedback, i like your protection for avata 2 ahahahha 🔥🔥

[@bobfiore8]

For starters that looks like a very cool place to fly. Just getting my Avata 2 right out the gate it’s noticeably so much quieter as you mention in your previous video. Really appreciate the info in this one. 100K right around the corner.

[@FangsCPO]

Great info as always. You are correct it does seem not as durable as the Avata 1 but the video quality is much improved.

[@xElectricblaze]

been loving your videos for a few years now Ken been with you since around 50k, even though I am not an OG it has been amazing to see your channel grow!

[@OriginaldoBo]

I appreciate you being there from the start!

[@SunriseWaterMedia]

That looks like a fun place to fly! What do you think of this version of rocksteady vs gyroflow?

[@OriginaldoBo]

I like the look of Gyroflow better still

[@LensCaptureOnline]

We had a great time Ken hanging, laughing and flying together with @SeanOzz and Bob aka @Old Farts with Drones. Definitely think we can get a group out here during the Vegas Drone meetup to fly our favorite bando waterpark. Another great video! 100K before the end of the month for sure!!!

[@DroningaboutIreland]

Ribbed rider needed for that last part 😂

[@TheInvisibleRedneck]

You're right. There was no warping in the drone shots. Hope people realize to use gyroflow and don't end up with a bunch of warped horizons.

[@OriginaldoBo]

I talked to the DJI engineers yesterday at NAB and I brought up that issue to them

[@TheInvisibleRedneck]

@@OriginaldoBo good, thanks. One thing about dji, seems like they do fix issues pretty quick. Probably just update the firmware, because I don't think it's a lens issue or anything.

[@FlyinFlynnMedia]

Great footage Ken! At least the camera has D-log now. Glad it’s not as loud too! 100k subs is a great accomplishment and well deserved! Good to see you at the SFDM.

[@OriginaldoBo]

Thanks John appreciate you and was great to see you

[@iPhonedo]

When were you there? We probably missed each other by a day or something.

[@OriginaldoBo]

I was there Monday, would of been the second time we ran into each other here

[@iPhonedo]

@@OriginaldoBo HAH! I was there Tuesday. It would've been incredible bumping into each other working on the same product review.

[@manityjones7306]

Fantastic location and video Ken. From what I've seen this version is very very fragile compared to the first avata. The motors are not recessed like the original and if you crash it from what I've seen in other videos they become easily damaged. There is also no user replaceable parts available like the original. I think I'm going to stick with my A1 for now and I just bought some extra parts as they're disappearing from stores. Thanks again for the great content

[@changeagent228]

Can I ask do your Goggles 3 have dead pixels? If you could play a white video on them and look closely. I'm on my third replacement and DJI insist that dead pixels are normal and I shouldn't worry about them. Whereas I thought I was buying a pristine product and seeing two or more dead pixels in the middle of my vision really bothers me. The most recent set has 6 dead pixels.

[@FangsCPO]

I haven't been able to connect my iPad Pro (4th Gen), but my iPhone 12 does for wireless video transfer. Any thoughts?

[@DavidinEssexUK]

Disappointed in lack of simulator support on it.

[@ivo_huth]

I miss and the weather and such an awesome place to fly FPV! One question: did you fly this with the original stick remote or with the more traditional FPV RC 3? It look like you were flying manual mode.

[@OriginaldoBo]

Flew with the RC 3 , Sean did a few motion RC flights

[@recideas]

Very cool location!👌🏻Cool Video! I wish you all the best to reach 100k soon. You deserve it.

Thx for the review, Ken. Im really looking forward to flying the abandoned water park in Nov.

[@redskinfaithful]

Great video! I’m looking for my first FPV drone. Should this be it or save a little cash and go for an older model?

[@TrailTraveler]

Was the footage shot with RockSteady or stabilized in post with GyroFlow? If that is all RockSteady, then that seems to be a big upgrade from the Avata 1.

[@OriginaldoBo]

Gyro Flow , I always use Gyro Flow it just looks better

[@TrailTraveler]

@@OriginaldoBo Thanks, the new RockSteady seems to be an improvement, but I figured GyroFlow was still going to be a better choice. A video comparing the two would be useful.

[@jimanderson4865]

Was that flown with the motion controller or were you in manual mode with the controller 3 ?........👍

With continued content like this, you will no problem make 100,000 followers. Question about rates, are you using the same rates as the original Avata or have you tweaked it a little?

[@OriginaldoBo]

Haven’t touched the rates just yet since this flies so differently

[@Gippslanddroneflyers]

Do you think your phone holder will work the same as the original avata controller 2 on the new controller 3 without disruption to the inbuilt antenna? Great content

That phone holder has to be redesigned

[@hchattaway]

I'm going to LA and Vegas in July, I have to stop there with my Avata to get some great footage too! I loved the first gen Avata and Avata 2 looks awesome. :)

[@Blueskyver]

Excellent flight with the Avata 2, Ken. What's your impression that the RC FPV 3 is missing the 5.8 GHz, is it problematic?

[@OriginaldoBo]

5.8 isn’t a issue from the RC since 2.4 has better range

[@mavicconnxshun4485]

Always love seeing your reviews brotha

[@vd853]

Did you fly the whole time with the motion controller?

[@KrisLuckPhoto]

I got my drone in, flew it for an hour and now I have 10 straight days of monsoon weather yay me!

[@BlueDroneBlues]

I do wish the Avata handled better in the wind. So far liking the new Avata 2. I do hope in the Goggles 3 they introduce a little soft padding instead of that thin cheap rubber with your face up against molded plastic. You are dead on about the repairability on this thing. The only thing you can fix is the freaking props! You guys ever come up to the Reno, Lake Tahoe area I hope I can get a heads up. Would be cool to fly with some others. I wonder if there is a Sean Ozz review coming around the corner?

[@DavidReynolds-kr6yh]

Great video! What a cool place to fly! Got a quick question. My RC3 is being delivered today. Is it possible to still use head tracking mode with the RC3 or are you stuck with motion controller. If so that's extremely frustrating. I would love the ability to be able to fly and pull manual and still be able to head track. If it's not available now, do you think it could be added with a firmware update in the future. Thanks for any input
