I've never even wanted a drone until I watched this video!
😂😂😂 Ask Santa nicely 😉
I started with an FPV and just purchased an Avata for a more compact form factor for my hikes. I hope I made the right choice. Waiting for it to arrive this Monday.
Although I'm not a user or fan of FPV drones I am a fan of Danny Bligh so always good to watch another episode, whatever the topic. Thanks Danny & Merry Christmas.
That’s so kind mate!! Thanks for watching, thanks for the support. Have a lovely Christmas
Very good quality video and the editing is good too! Especially for 6k subscribers channel. I though that I was watching CZcamsr with 500K+, you deserve more subs.
That’s really kind of you! 🙌🏻 perhaps one day i’ll be in that position 🤌🏻
I bought mine two months ago, and I love it compared to the cinematic drones. I wish the battery lasted longer, but that’s OK by me. I just subscribe to your channel and good luck.
Thanks for watching!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Editing walk through video please and thank you 😊
I would love to know how you color grade your footage!
Definitely recommend you get yourself some master airscrew 4 blade props for your Avata, the slight boost in efficiency makes quite a difference in how it feels to fly especially pulling out of dives and light acro. Looks like some great spots you got for flying.
I’ve heard amazing things about them, i’ll definitely take a look. Are they at a higher pitch than the avata blades?
The level of noise is probably about the same but the pitch is slightly lower so it doesn't sound as whiney.
@@maskedmuchachoordered a set of 3 and 4 blade propellors. Interested to try them both and see how they compare
Nice video mate. Can you tell me about flying Avata with Action 4, how Avata handle Action 4, battery life? And can you make video about that and your color grading.
It’s a little bit like a boat. Really top heavy so don’t bother doing it often.
Video about the colour grading is coming soon!!
You are able to do all movements with motion controller as well? Like POV etc.
I finally ordered one. Now I'm hoping my biggest regret isn't an Avata 2 coming out and I wish I waited.
That’s what I’m afraid of and what makes me so hesitant to order one. How are you liking it so far?
Yes it is
Yes! Please share how you setup your camera and edit your videos!
I can definitely do camera setup and how I colour the footage!
@@DannyBligh that would be awesome! Thanks!
Hi, this video was cool and can you tell us the better way to get a cool footage from the existing O3 camera settings
Sure thing, already got a video planned! 🙌🏻 thanks for watching ☺️
Excellent Video! I have an avata on its way, and wondering do you think the avata will be able to endure a gopro hero 12 (not the mini)?
Yeah, it’ll be similar to my experience with the action 4. However, with the weight it’ll have less battery life, less power and fly differently
I love mine and Refresh is ace - don't use it enough to think of changing as the drone can cope with more than my skill level so shouldn't out grow it 😜
😂😂😂 it’s hard to grasp at the very beginning. I remember my very first fpv flight
Got this a short while ago, great for beginners and those who aren’t too serious with this hobby but overall I do love it.
Amazing to hear!! They have certainly come down in price too so a great way of getting in to the world. Enjoy!!
Do you recommend that PS controller 🕹️
I had to give up on it, everytime I go to the field to fly it and practice it doesnt want to takeoff -_-
I happened to notice this drone at Best Buy. It looks so robust. My only drone experience is with some cheap middle school competition drones (≈$200 each) from 6 years ago. So I’m worried about breaking stuff. But this just looks so good.
If you get it with the motion controller to begin with, you should be fine!
got rid of mine after two weeks.
Would lose video between 500 and 1000 feet in distance not height. Also, the controller caused mine to go out of control twice and crash
Hey
I am planning to get one but I am very confused. I need it mostly for commercial work and that is my main goal. Should I get the Avata or a custom drone? I just need to mount a GoPro and have a good signal that's too for now.
Any ideas?
If you’ve ever flown fpv before and feel comfortable in doing so, build a drone.
If you are entirely new, go for the avata. It can hold a gopro, just don’t expect to be able to do massive moves with it. For any commercial stuff you’re going to be flying in difficult areas, the avata will give you the ability ti comfortably do that much faster.
Signal with any will be about the same. Especially with the goggles as you can now run digital systems and use dji transmitters and cameras inside custom drones.
But like I say, if you have never flown one. Maybe start with the avata. You can always upgrade.
Building a drone can be damn hard, i learned at the very beginning only because back then i don’t even think the phantom was around 😂 i had no choice than to build.
Message me on IG if you have any questions mate, happy to chat
Have you flown with aftermarket props and a gopro? I wonder if the stiffer props improve flight with the gopro on top.
I haven’t, i suspect it would improve it but not loads. The issue with a gopro on a drone as small as the avata is it becomes so top heavy. On something bigger you would never have a problem. If i get the chance to try it, i’ll let you know
Buy device care from dji. The avata is awesome. Great for people getting into fpv, but want their hand held some, and they don't want to repair a drone constantly. Them graduate to home built drones.
Hey there! I have a chance to buy a used Avata with 3 batteries, the newer goggles 2 (not the v2), the motion controller (v1), the fpv controller, the charging station and a hard case at a reasonable price (~$900). It’s in good condition apparently and everything works. Also has a bit of care refresh warranty left (less than a year but still). What do you think, should I go for it? It will be my first FPV drone and I own a mini 4 pro.
If it’s in your budget it, do it. Not sure if dji refresh is transferable though, may want to double check. If you can see the drone in use first, i’d recommend that
@@DannyBligh thanks Danny!
@DigitalicaEG did you end up buying it
Where you bought the case and the bracket for the Osmo action 4?
Comes with it in the bundle 🙌🏻
Which bundle you bought? @@DannyBligh
Hey Danny, what sim did you use to practice?
Velocidrone for years, but when I want to brush up on the skills i lean towards liftoff now. Either are great
Ty!@@DannyBligh
Very odd question but something I'd like to try is it possible to mount iphone 15 pro to this Drone ?
Yeah, you could mount it for sure. I have a mount which i’ve use in the past for gopros and other action cameras. Could easily switch out the attachment for that and fit one for a phone.
Would I recommend it though? 😂😂 depends how confident you are at flying Jason! 🤷🏻♂️😂
Also, how well will it fly. No idea!
20 mins each on the batteries??? On what planet?
What mount are using to connect the GoPro?
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, here's a link :) geni.us/2XdDC
@@DannyBligh thank you. Last questoin, when attaching a camera, do you only fly in manual mode? or have you tried normal or sport?
@@skysportaerialsask anything you want 🤌🏻
Briefly i have, anytime i’m coming to land i slap it in to Normal so i can land it like a normal dji drone. Flies no different to manual mode. The motors just work a lot harder. You can hear them working harder
I bought the FPV on day 1 and it's the worst drone I've ever owned. It's very twitchy to fly. The camera is on 1 axis for stabilisation and it's antenna for connectivity is appalling. Don't do it. I eventually lost it last year 200m from me with line of sight until i flew it BEHIND a lighthouse and it emergency stopped and a wave took it 😂. Honestly i was over the moon. Hated. I've also got the Avata and truthfully I've hardly flown it. Every chance I've had it's been so windy. My main drones are the Air3 and Air2s. These are fantastic. Good video 👍🏼
Should try flying a home made FPV drone, if you lose signal on one of those it just tuns off ha! What have we learned Lee? - Don't fly it behind a lighthouse ;) Thanks for watching mate!
20min 😂 😂
This machine is for people.who do WORK!!! Not for casual flyers
Worst drone ever dji build
@Malik4you. Using you superior knowledge of DJI drones which would you say is the best one.
