This is an amazing drone! It's not only fun to fly, but it's versatility it's unmatched. It's great for inspections, indoors and outdoors, because it can get into places no other drone can. It's built like a tank so you can fly the drone without worrying excessively. At the beginning of the video you said the key words: "If you fly it within its limitations". Flying the Avata is addictive and I find that it's the drone that I want to fly the most. Thank you for an excellent video!

I got one in May (based in part on your videos, among others), and I'm pretty happy with it. My one downside is that it's so loud (which, I know, just comes with the territory for FPV drones); I'm really self-conscious about flying with people nearby, so it's harder to find places to fly. (Here in Hawaii if there's nice scenery that'd be great to fly around, there are generally a bunch of other people there admiring it, so I've started going early in the morning before the crowds arrive.) Otherwise, the durability is top-notch, I let my family fly it when I first got it and it weathered a few crashes with flying colors.

I agree, my wife hates listening to it as well

[@chrisregister8021]

Thank you great information! I've just gotten an Avata used and I can't wait to fly soon.😊

Finally, somebody told the truth about the Dji avata . I lost two Dji avata in the mountain just like you losing the single about 60 m watching my baby crash in the mountain and I can’t do anything about it 😢 . The reason why I like it so much because once I wear the goggle, I fly like a eagle. 😊 . 👍👌🥃🥃🥃

[@FredOzeee]

Hi ! just go an Avata 2 weeks ago and it's in fact a great drone. Because I also have a Mavic 3 Classic and a mini 4 Pro....I tried the goggles and Motion C with them...and my god....just found another way to "Really" love flying again....like you said ..." like an eagle". So I can you that if you still want to fly with the goggles and feel a little bit more secure, if you can, buy a mini 4 pro and you'll be ok. Bye. Fred

Excellent info Kris - thanks!

You’re welcome!

Yaw washout happens with most high battery Ducted Whoops. though most are not as bad. but it IS common.

[@mssippijim]

If you lost signal that close, I hope they replaced it free, because it was defective.

[@MezyPez]

I got one when it first came out and I went on two flights with it. Both went just fine but when I tried to take of for the third time it wouldn’t work😮. I called DJI and they couldn’t fix it so we had to install the administrator software from a link DJI sent to us. It was an error with one of the sensors and there was no fix😢. So I had to send it back but I got a full refund 😊

[@nevezeraa]

what other fpv were you planning on getting?

[@pnwxplored]

Have you bumped up the default max altitude? In settings?

[@Gweebs30]

Thank you for the video and information. Can you please reference what you are referring too with the RTH and 40m? I would like to read up more on it.

[@KrisLuckPhoto]

if the drone loses signal between 5 and 50 meters, it will RTH at the current altitude, not the RTH altitude you set in settings

[@jacobkeller29]

@@KrisLuckPhotothanks for sharing what you learned the hard way

[@glenneymard4471]

@@KrisLuckPhotoso, is there a setting to change so this doesn’t happen?

[@kendrickjarias]

Hello 👋 does this DJI Avata record in Vertical?? For social media, 60frames or higher ? Thanks

[@KrisLuckPhoto]

only records in landscape orientation. 60fps for 4k. 2k/1440 records in 120fps

[@kendrickjarias]

@@KrisLuckPhoto that sucks, guess I’ll wait for the Avata 2?

[@flywithme3578]

was that in fcc mode?

Nope

00:33 wow? you flew an avata way up there? mountain surfing that's totally out of the avata intended use. A 5 inch quad would be for this kind of flying, The avata is cinehwoop it should be used indoors 80% of the time, or for very low shots.

[@KrisLuckPhoto]

Lol dude it lost signal 30’feet away from me

[@jakeed09090]

​@@KrisLuckPhoto It lost signal because you flew it behind a mountain, did you not notice that?

[@LetoDK]

Great to see people with speech impediments decide that it shouldn't hold them back from posting videos where they talk the entire video

[@DigitalicaEG]

What are you talking about?

[@Gliiitch305]

Didn’t even notice a speech impediment 😅

[@RotineQue]

I would also like to be sent free drones so I can make a half assed review

[@KrisLuckPhoto]

Lmao nobody has ever sent me shit

[@KAMAKAZI_MW]

You would be surprised to know that you can start your own youtube channel and do just that!

[@MasterBlakeYT]

I doubt DJI sent someone with 2k subs a free drone. No hate against you Kris, I’m just saying this guy is not very logical

[@mladen2008]

This is amateur cinewhoop drone 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@charlienowlan]

Wrong, this is what an amateur would say
