  • The DJI Avata appears to be the perfect FPV drone a Beginner. This is my first flight in Manual Mode with the FPV controller. The Avata also has many safety features for newbies to help prevent a crash. We will review and test out other flying modes as well as take a look at the 4k footage.

    I'm going the same way. Training in Liftoff, right now some 7 hours of simulator training. First hours were pure WTF, around 5 hours I somehow got used to how the drone operates, it seemed to happen like a switch clicking, one moment to another the brain adapted to the flight mechanics. Now, after around 7 hours I changed the settings in the Avata to get Manual option. Liftoff is a great tool to learn acro.
    You shouldn't give up at the beginning. For a long time it feels almost impossible to ever be able to control the drone like this. Just keep practicing. After a few hours it suddenly works. Then you can continue to sharpen your skills in the simulator, e.g. by following the racing cars and "filming" them while they are drifting.
    Then things start getting interesting. 🙂
    I consider the Avata as an entrance ticket into Acro FPV. Somehow the driving school. I consider upgrading to a race quad when I feel ready to do so.

    • @SpeedsterIG
      @SpeedsterIG Před 8 měsíci

      @@midinut Ir's a simulator called Liftoff, but it is for FPV flying only, not for the usual camera drones like the Mini series. For the DJI Avata in manual mode or the DJI FPV the simulator can be very useful. But not for any other DJI drone.

    Thanks for this video! This is exactly what I wanted to see - a first flight of someone new to FPV because that’s the position I’d be in if I got the Avata 👌🏼

      Im getting rdy to do Manual mode/acro mode on my Avata soon after a lot of flying in the simulator in Acro and also just flying it outside in regular mode going thru obstacles and stuff just to get used to the stick controls on a dji fpv & avata plus a few 5" CF Betaflight Drones in Level/Air mode to practice the throttle control, bc on a 6S fpv drone even on 4S, its unbelievable how fast they are and can gain height, esp the first time its amazing lol..

    That's amazing for being on the sticks for the first time! I've spent about 3 weeks in the simulator and just under 2 week on the field and I'm nowhere near that smooth. I think it's mostly my anxiety about crashing even though I purchased DJI CARE like with my other DJI products. I also wish I had access to a large open field like that. The largest I've found so far has been baseball field and when you're learning how to turn you run out of room quick on a baseball field. The funniest thing is I've been having problems flying at a slow speed. I've changed the camera angle and I helps a little. I think I have to play with the rates a bit and get better at throttle control. I built a 6s 5 inch quad but I won't fly it until I'm good with the Avata a my tinyhawk 2 FS.

    You made it look so easy for your first flight in manual! I have not spent too much time yet in the sim but was brave enough to try manual for real. Seconds after entering manual I had to hit pause because the drone went squirrelly(good thing for me I was up high enough) Hardest thing I think is what the rates should be

    I just got my Avata a few days ago and have had a blast with the Motion Controller. I have the FPV controller as well, and tried out the DJI simulator, and I had no idea what I was doing.

Nice work!

    When I dabbled with the free Velocidrone simulator on my PC, I realized that racing drones are so much more difficult to master than the GPS-stabilized quadcopters in my collection. I wonder if racing drones are already being used by Ukrainian forces to pepper the enemy with small guided munitions that NOBODY can outrun haha.

If acro with flips and rolls this isn't the drone but the DJI FPV is the drone for that. I have both along with the Mavic 3, Mini 3 Pro and many others🤓.

    Good job brother. You did real good as if you’ve done it before. I have the DJI Fpv and the avata. My first time flying the fpv in acro/manual I was 45 second flying when I hit a fenced breaking my camera screen. So I sent it to get fixed then bought the avata. The avata is better to learn to fly in acro because of speed difference and how avata response. Keep up the good flying and keep the good videos coming. Be good, stay safe and god bless you.👏🏼👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼✌️

    Nice location and not so many people to fly in manual mode. And I agree with you, flying in a simulator to live is another difference. But very good, for the first time!
