    man I've been dying to get an avata - Iove your perspective from someone who flies GPS drones and how quickly you picked up the Avata. I'm struggling in the simulator right now. I really wanted to learn on the regular controller, but I'm thinking the motion controller might be the best way to learn FPV for me. Great video!

    • @DavidManningvlog
      @DavidManningvlog  Před měsícem

      The motion controller was shockingly easy! I was sort of bummed that I didn't get the controller, but then I started flying and realized why. This thing is the beginner's cheat guide. Again though, to get fully into it and improve, I'll need to get a controller at some point!

    David been watching your entertaining videos for a long time now. We both laughed when you were about to fly the Avata 2 for the first time and had the quick start guide but said you’d check it as you got started. So typical of men - they just can’t wait to get started whereas women usually study the guide before! Carry on with the great videos, we love them. Selina & Tim, UK (subs)

    When learning manual on this, with the stick controller, keep a finger on the switch that puts up back into sport or normal mode. That way, should you loose it, hit the switch and recover.

    @enriquecordovanovion6069 Před měsícem +1

    Great Video !! I really appreciate your comment about 60 to 70 % of FVP results with the motion control and getting the 30% remaining will take much longer time with the controller.
    I guess it will take about 10 hours in simulator + 10 hours in real FPV with controller. That´s a no brainer for a beginner and I did not hear anywhere else in youtube.
    Only proble you do not remember you mentionned is that is not cheap. The combo you tested is $ 1,200. A lot for a beginner...

    • @DavidManningvlog
      @DavidManningvlog  Před měsícem

      Totally agree that $1,200 is a lot for a beginner, but you definitely get what you pay for with this system. I've tried a couple other beginner style FPV drones and crashed and burned pretty quickly!

  • @saintkenny9296
    @saintkenny9296 Před měsícem +1

    I learned real quick when buying my new unit. If you're willing to pay $1,000 dollars for this drone package, you should be willing to pay the extra $200 dollars. You get the 2 extra batteries and the external charge and this case as a bonus. It's totally worth the extra $200 bucks. I don't know anyone that wants just 1 freaking battery for their drone.

    • @DavidManningvlog
      @DavidManningvlog  Před měsícem

      For almost any camera these days, three batteries is a must. DJI's combo kits are the best in the game!

    • @DavidManningvlog
      @DavidManningvlog  Před měsícem +1

      If I were you, I would go Mini 4 Pro. That drone goes everywhere with me and is always in my bag. The Avata 2 is a really fun drone to fly and I do love the footage, but for videos/photos the Mini 4 Pro is my go to!

    Since you have flown both the Avato and the Mini 4…which would you recommend? I know it’s probably comparing apples to oranges but I’ve been thinking of both…just have to sell my Mini 3 first.

    • @canyonblue737-8
      @canyonblue737-8 Před měsícem +1

      Two different drones with different purposes. The Mini 4 Pro is an amazing CAMERA drone. It’s primary purpose to take cinematic video of the environment it is flying it… but it to record your environment / travels etc. The Avata 2 is a drone that is all about the experience of flying… the Googles and dynamics of an FPV put you “in” the drone and you get the enjoyment of feeling like you are flying… the video is bonus.

      For me, the Mini 4 Pro is the drone that I'll still get the most use out of for filming. Maybe once I'm a whole lot smoother with the Avata 2, I could use it for footage. Right now though it's mostly just for fun!
