Having a totally great time with my Avata! Goggles transmission is awesome and motion controller is easier to use than I thought!
So it's a buy?
You gave me 10 reasons to buy it!
I'd use this drone for filming while wakeboarding, any thoughts there @danny mcgee?
You can absolutely orbit someone using the motion controller. Iâve only had this drone for five days and Iâve already figured out that if you turn on head tracking with the goggles, you can turn left as you steer the controller left to enter an orbit.
Good to know! Have you been able to do dives using that method?
I tried dives with head tracking and it does not really feel like diving.
I find it interesting that no one is really talking about how much better it gets as a mini3 substitute once you add head tracking (not that I would not bring both)
Great points for consideration. Thank you.
So, what drone can you get it in the air the fastest and chase a sports car with?
nazgul 5
Thank you for ur honest opinion and feedback â€
Appreciate your honesty. I might look at the Nazgûl with the 03 system. Can you get RTH on the Nazgûl and is it worth getting?
I'd go back to the standard controller but I'm glad I got a motion controller for the Avata anyway! It's a uniquely wonderful flight experience
What type of drone did you eventually use to take your shot around the airport?
Your transition is coming along so nicely, I'm so proud of you sister.
Sup Danny. CZcams recommended your channel lol. I didnât know you were that into fpv. Channel looks good keep it up.
Hey Paul! Yep it's addicting lol. Thank you!
Fantastic detailing bro
Yeah this drone is my favorite I can thread needles with the motion controller !
Nahh, it's my favorite drone lately! I only ever got to fly the Mini 2 and yes, it's a great one! but the flight experience and performance of the Avata is top quality!
Do you know what you can connect the FPV drone controller to the DJI Avada
*_WOW! Thanks for this video! I had NO IDEA about GEOFENCING!! How strict is that? Is there a way to test places availability or whatever online without the drone yet?_* #LIKED #SUBSCRIBED
airports are a geofencing zone so you cant fly anywere near it! there other geofencing zones as well depending on the place you live or fly at that time! every place have different rules about drone flying but try to avoid mainly airports and usually fly out of town
So really, you're saying don't buy it, because you're a professional and you are used to what you know? Okay... đł It's designed to suit new flyers and people who aren't professionals demanding the best image quality or stability. đ€·đ»ââïž
Im a new flyer , i just want his perspective
I think this is a part 2 where point out the negative side and part 1 is where you find the positive side
hahaha, CZcams thought he is a smartass
He never said don't buy it.
Great informative video... Thanks!
So, when I go to the mountains or just go to the nature, better choice will be classic FPV drone from DJI ?
No. Ewww. Don't waste your money on that garbage drone. The Avata won't just break if it crashes
The sudden switch from manual acro mode to stabilized its spreading you are not the only one , probably there will be a fix
Does the DJI Avata work with the DJI FPV Remote Controller 1 (The black one thats thicker)?
No unfortunately not
The âtweak outâ thing you talk about is well documented by other CZcamsrs already and is nothing to do with software. Can search for âyaw washout Avataâ and see loads of coverage on this. Seems to be more on physics, power and design (top heavy). đđ»
Same thing with my autel evo. When your going fast and strafing at the same time. It has a weird affect. It's going to want to correct itself
what drone at the backïŒđ€
Iâm going to wait until they release an avata 2 in the meantime im going to upgrade to a mavic
Great tips, I was concerned about buying a DJI due to their restrictions, and didnt notice they dont include a controller, Thank You!
What drone would people recommend for simple video fly throughs of warehouses and offices? Want footage for case studies.
I've been looking at the cinewhoop
Since the Avata is an 'inside' drone as well, what would happen if you are wanting to fly in a warehouse that is inside a geofence. Would it allow you to take off?
Nope unfortunately if itâs geofenced it wonât let you unless you get authorization
I fly directly across from an airport with no issues. Just flies slow being not connected to gps. Not too slow good for inside.
Im bored with my first gen mavic mini and been wanting to check this out. Not super into fpv but i do like getting some cool shots that are next to impossible to get with a mavic mini.
I'ma need that art on the wall đ„
Thank you! đ
I totally agree. Whatâs the matter why not remote controller
I love mine bud , 6 of my friends love theirs no issues at all over a month we all bought same tine , not everyone cant be please but deff its amazing quad ,
Hi there †to anyone who own Avata , I would like to ask does it come with âFOLLOW MEâ mode ?
I currently have mini 2 and I can have my drone to âFOLLOW MEâ shooting video of myself when Iâm running or doing my own thing without hands on holding the controller.
Since Avata is FPV require goggle to control Everytime. Are there any way to turn on âFOLLOW MEâ mode so I can also shooting video of myself WITHOUT goggle on ?
Thx for all helping â€â€â€â€
Nope no following function. FPV drones are not meant to fly without goggles so even the stabilized modes are alot already
The coffins scene is from a movie?
I'm really digging mine. Yeah it's not perfect but the pro's by far outweigh the con's. I already have the FPV so I just bought the stand alone Avata. I wish I could try the head tracking feature the motion controller and goggles 2 offers. That just sounds so cool.
I was planning to buy the fpv initially ,but now the avata looks good ...what would be your suggestion? Fpv or avata? Kindly do share your experience,your feedback is appreciated! đ
@X The FPV is cool because of the flight time and speed. Sometimes I fire up the FPV and fly it about 1.5 miles away from the house and check out a large construction site to see what progress they are making and then run alongside I-55 and watch traffic then cross about 300 acres of woods behind the house and see if I can spot a deer. These things are far better suited to the FPV. The Avata on the other hand is a much better drone for yard flying and sticking it in small spaces and tight gaps. I also feel it's a lot less fragile. The image is a little better and the recorded video is much better.
I would decide what you want to do with it and that will help you decide. Me personally I would get FPV because it comes with the good controller and goggles. If you add the Avata later you'll have those items already.
Price breakdown:
FPV combo on sale right now at B&H
$899
Avata stand alone drone
$629
Total $1527
VS
Avata smart combo with goggles V2 and adding a FPV controller (a must have)
Total $1368
The top combo is $159 more but you get 2 drones!
@@Terry12345 thank you so much for your detailed explanation ....It helps a lot , but I am looking for a drone to fly over when I travel and explore other country or maybe even city -both for recreation and casual drone vid shooting ....so i would fly it in random places but not in a so tight space ...fpv looks menacing and is faster and not very less than avata in vid quality...I see the avata is less fragile and higher video quality and better sensor ,is there a visible difference of quality ?Which one did you have the most fun with? Also when you crash the fpv into the ground or into something while flying was there any major damages?
I think going with the fpv would be a good idea as it's what I had planned initially...Thank you sooo much once again for your timeâ€ïžIt means a lot
@X yes, the FPV can sustain major crash damage. It hasn't happened to me but a little youtube investigating will show what can happen. I just don't 'bash" with mine and it's holding up just fine. As far as FPV video quality and recording make no mistake about it. The Avata is better. It's just next generation compared to the FPV. That said the FPV is great. You'll be just if the FPV is the one you're learning towards. Like I said, if I could only own one the FPV would be it for me.
a month ago you made a video saying its the best setup lol
whats a cinewhoop?
As a Mini 4 pro pilot, I'm also blown away that they don't have a 2 stick controller package. One day I will plateau with my mini 4 pro flying skill and FPV may offer me a way to take my experience further.
But in order to do that I'd have to buy a $1300 package that comes standard with a novelty motion controller that I'll probably also outgrow very quickly. Then its another $200 for a manual style controller as an addon accessory only. For accessibility and ease of use it seems pretty amazing, though I have to admit.
The Geo fencing is so annoying what time I was flying my Mavic mini Overlake and it was like in this the area and it like crashed into the water
The motion controller can circle, and the motion controller is great.
Love mine.
Great bro.. but I think this drone good for beginner .. do you think..??
I think so..I'm a beginner flyer and I took the avata out for my first time 2 days ago with no issues
Buying the fpv controller is a good idea because the 03 air unit will let you use that controller to fly any fpv drone with the air unit.
Hows about taking the prop off?
DO u like the dji fpv drone or the dji avata??
I bought it and I love it
Love love love mine đŹđ§
How about: itâs exceptionally noisy? I went with the mini 3 pro instead.
This is literally the one thing that is putting me off buying it
you had me at reason 1
Your welcome to your opinions but can't agree while I fly drones my avata is first fpv and it's a fantastic starter drone and already getting nice different shots So for you to say don't buy it is bloody poor opinion and like everything these days it will improve with firmware updates it is a fantastic drone for some and not others
Did you see the video where I spent the whole time talking about the positives?
Look like you knowledge is like -100%
The reason they didnât release it with a regular controller is because it makes it super prone to failure. So they issued it with the restricted motion controller.
Do you mean it makes the launch of the product prone to failure or the product itself?
@@ravenshaw1514 the motion control makes it less prone to failure during flight. Restricting hard turns. But it can still happen with the motion controller
@@ravenshaw1514 no, flying FPV drone is hard for a drone beginner. That's why they release it with simplified controller
NUMBER 3
TOO SAFE FOR ITS OWN GOOD
*eye roll*
I actually only see the proâs you are giving attention. Only placing the sd-card is a bit annoying, but that has nothing to do with flying this drone!
Nice video, good info, but, for me, all the negatives things you mention are positive things, i guess it depend on every man needs
Hey, that drone comes with that motion controller so that people who may do extreme sports can use one hand while performing, lol. And maybe it's accessible for handicap people.
THE SD CARD SLOT IS NUTS... also not being able to order a controller with it... not good either.
The Avata flies without a gps signal, that is, just block the signal or turn off the antenna. đ
Geo fencing does not suit a whoop. You can fly indoors legally in geo fenced areas I live 1/4 mile from a major airport and Iâve always had issues with DJI I fly tiny whoops for the last 6 years I would never use DJI you donât need software on a whoop you need experience and practice practice thatâs it
Im in the same situation, Can you recommend a BNF tiny whoop thatll connect to my dji V2 Goggles? Or a TW build list thatll work with V2 goggle?...thx!
The reason why the avata came with only motion controller, it said DJI AVATA mean u are the avatar pilot in the drone the feeling been in the cockpit and usually in the cockpit u r not gonna find a rc controller but a wheel plan or a stick like F - 16 or Airbus or better helicopter but if u like the performance of this baby but want a rc controller vibe at least u can buy a normal controller since it compatible
Iâm handicapped in my right hand so the motion controller was the best thing created for me
"normal controller"... I don't need it.. why I can need it if "motion controller" is so easy and intuitive...
I fly 2 years in traditional fpv, but this "motion controller" is amazing, so "normal controller" absolutely not needed thing for me.
dive mountains.. I don't have mountains near me
freestyle tricks... I don't need them, I just want to fly forward and rotate to corners left-right and up-down just like car but in all axes...
chasing sport cars... mm no, why I can need this.. and how often it happens in real life... maybe once per life :)
I love my DJI Drone. I have the DJI S900 Hexacopter and I love it it carries a lot of weight.
turn down the background music buddy, lol
I own my Avata since August 28th, and STILL, TO THIS DATE, have not been able to get my hands on a the controller! The latest "excuse" from DJI is that they ship all of their equipment out to the Ukrainian war.. I mean COME ON... Why do they then send out thousands of units to Influences and CZcamsrs who promote the product, and then have none left for the people who actually want to buy and use it??? How come such a product be out of stock for 6 months! Blame it on COVID, computer chips shortage and now the war? That's ridiculous...
I am really really frustrated. I even went as far as paying 50⏠more at another retailer who claimed to send them out by the end of January to then find out that they too get their supply directly via DJI... WOW...
Does it have bullshit forced online account?
Correct, definitely not for mtn surfing. You're very lucky you didn't lose the drone. Others claim they have no problem, if so, it's not firmware, or geometry, but more likely hardware. czcams.com/video/ff2kuDgueUk/video.html
He have some point.
Thereâs flaws in everything and you have it and telling people not to buy it is actually a contradictory lol
Don't think he recommends not to buy it. He's listing five reasons why you might not want to. Which is why I watched it đ I'm still on the fence having lost three fpv drones this year alone last one into water deeming a total loss đ wondering if I should just give up altogether. This just seems alot more forgiving đ€·đŒââïž
@@subsea77 thats why I got the Avata with DJI care and fully send it ;)
Not everyone is making his money with drones and CZcams , some people is working and is want something simple
Whats wrong ?
People buying avata because if that controller, and everything is super cool about that drone for people who trying to fly FPV drone, and you are talking negative...
You just need to upgrade the motors to get better performance
I dont have one đ
You don't agree because you know this drone threatens the entire fpv custom build market
Do you know you by the combo won the 12 you do you know the power but the pope hours are off when I see you in the DJI store photo so you put it on and you can you just made this up the propellers the word the word on on there yeah can you put an SD card in and put the power is on first and the second second yeah so you made this one up you put the powers in you
E dillo che non te lâhanno regalato!
Haynaku
AgreeâŠ. What a crap that motion-controllerâŠ.
DJI is made for staters
There are two possible reason; they had a bunch motion controller left from the potato and/or the were aware of the yaw of death
czcams.com/video/RrRVfIfXINM/video.html
What's the yaw of death?
You being on those stairs is illegal! Respect the natives there.
decision came from greed haha
Goof!!!!
Why the fk not make drone fly at lower altitude in geofence. How the fk the drone will threaten the airplanes if you fly max 10m height 5 km from airport???
non quad pilots giving advice about drones
How is the drone not meant to be fast? Its DJI 2nd fastest drone lol. Its max speed is literally 60mph, so chasing cars is easy.
Hoof
Honestly everyone watching buy it best drone
I'd add the 18 minute battery to your list...with technology these days, there's got to be a way to keep it in the air for 30+ min per battery...eh?!?
Not the brightest star in the sky eh ? The size of this thing alone should make you feel heavily impressed with the 18 minutes given the actual "technology these days" , not to mention the quality of the video feed you getting through that time with that tiny thing .
A raison : NOISe noise noise NOISE NOISE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! screaming
"Allegations have arisen that Da-Jiang Innovations (DJI), a Chinese company that is the worldâs largest civilian drone manufacturer, has been providing the Russian military with software to track Ukrainians piloting DJI drones used to conduct operations."
"Ukraineâs minister of digital transformation sent an open letter to DJI founder Frank Wang in March accusing Russia of using "an extended version of DJI AeroScope" to navigate missiles that are killing Ukrainian civilians."
I believe the reason why they released it without a normal controller is because the motion controller is a gimmick and probably had many left in the warehouses. So they had to come up with a way of getting rid of them đ you can only get the new goggles if you buy our stupid motion controller. Well done DJI đ
Lol, just watched more of the video đ€Ł
They did because it's easy to use for beginners, and it's fun right away. This drone is clearly not for acro mode racing / complex freestyle.
Silly
problem?
I have 5 reasons not to believe on CZcams Wixer.
'super_ _'
"This drone is very cool doing indoor stuffs, but it wasn't made for high speed. So don't buy it." What ??? Really ??? This video is almost bullshit
There is yaw death problem when u fly in higher speed
Have some shame dude
Anybody that knows anything about FPV drones would call the avata an upgrade over that garbage drone dji made before the avata. The avata will do 60mph in manual mode. Can handle crashing. Doesn't look like a potato lol.
I will not subscribe because the in-between clips to make this video cool is annoying. It's like trying hard to make the video look cool...sorry
Iâm sure he is crying himself to sleep now
