Give me two weeks ? And I’m in! But someone is phishing me from your pin that your giving me the Avata on GIVAWAY
Yeah the scenery is beautiful but holy cow what an attractive young lady you’ve got there brother. She’s got a mop of beautiful hair on her! Lol. You make a very handsome couple. Thanks for the great video my friend
Best video so far on the avata! thank you for covering all the details that many others miss instead of regurgitating same basic info we could already find on google and providing some frickin beautiful footage while you're at it
I've been waiting for YOUR review all week! Thanks!
Music to our ears!
Спасибо Ребята! Как всегда, интересно и приятно вас смотреть.
Been waiting for your review. Thank you!
That montage is epic including the behind-the-scenes!!!😅 I’m always intimidated by the fpv world but DJI Avata might change that now. Thanks for the fun review!
So interesting about the battery coming out. You’re not the only one that has captured this issue. Might have to add something like an apple AirTag onto the unit along with some 3rd party solution to securing the battery to the avata. Seems to me that DJI has done a phenomenal job at making the quad durable though!
For sure, based on the comments here, a velcro strap will sort that and then you've got an indestructible little drone.
Brilliant video, really well put together! Can't wait to get out with mine this week
Best drone reviews on CZcams!
The scenery is amazing
Fantastic! Thanks for the review.
Even in that weather, your content still high quality.
GREAT Review as usual, and thanks for keeping it REAL!!! ~Cheers 🍻
Another excellent couple of videos from S & A - excellent vocal delivery and presentation - second to none. I wish I had the skills to offer you my editing facilities - but this is an occasion to say - I don't have what you need - but wish you every success in your quest !
Thank you John!
Great video. Still waiting for my drone. Really glad I watched it. Definitely going to secure that battery.
Excellent review Stuart. Think it’ll be a while before I try an FPV but enjoyed this from you. Made a lot of sense.
You both guys are fantastic thanks for this nice review!!!
Great review with real life events and tons of learnings! Nice job guys!
Amazing video, so useful. Thank you!
TY. Both for your Avata Videos. We have ours sat waiting on the coffee table. First flight Monday. Wire ties at the ready.😀
Very interesting upload!
Cheers from Bucharest Romania!!
You are the best mate 😍👋
Thanks for the video! Some useful tidbits here that I hadn't seen in other reviews such as the gyro data being accessible for third-party software and that bit about the battery. Will definitely invest in some extra securing mechanism when I get my hands on one.
Fantastic video, great showing us how you use it and what the results were, teaching us how to look for a crashed one and so on. Thx!
Thanks again for your honest review, it has helped me make my decision
Awesome video particularly in that kind of weather.
What a beautiful spot that is in front of that mountain ✨
Great video man
Great review, cant wait to jump into Sports FPV & a bit of Mavic style. mine is on its way !!! Sure Manuel controller will follow (when back in stock !)
I don’t comment enough on your videos, but love your direct approach/reviews that help us creators make better decisions on gear purchases.
Sorry about the Avata mishap; could see employing a Velcro strap (or other measure of security) similar to our FPV rigs to avoid this in the future.
Thanks Ryan! 100% - I think a velcro strap is the way forward here. There should be enough space to get it through frame of the Avata without any trouble. Even if others don't have this issue, it's good peace of mind. Cheers!
Continue the great work and show us the Scottish Highlands. Love that btw. This definitely made my mind up to buy it!
Great vid guys, the suspense of watching the crash unfold it definitely didn't look like it was going to was something else. Sorry to see your experience end the way it did - twice! It feels so crap to crash an FPV.
I do wonder how the first one would have gone if the battery didn't come out though, being that it was fully submerged it may have actually been what saved it. Definitely fares a better chance without current going through it. Mine hasn't arrived yet but will certainly keep the battery popping out in mind!
i like that it can release the battery, it can save the drone from tearing apart, the most cases it can be a life saver,
Amazing. 😎👍
Best review 🤜👍
Excellent video! Not having at lest a forward sensor was my only concern. My drone should be arriving tomorrow, cant wait to try it out.
Very fantastic sir
Love your stuff mainly the accent 😆 jk always watch your stuff keep it up ! Excited for this Drone !
This review is very helpful. Thank you so much! My Avata arrives tomorrow. I’m going to use cable ties to secure the battery as well. I hope people who buy later versions of this drone will benefit from a better battery latch.
Nice drone 👍👍👍
Congratulations sir, you are the record holder for the biggest nerd with the best looking partner! There's hope for us
Great Video, thank you
So cool
awesome👍
parabéns pelo canal sensacional, não vejo a hora de voar com esse Brinquedo maravilhoso, Deus abençoe.
Nice! I subscribed. You had me at the intro.
Welcome to the channel!
Hi, I just found you in the last week and I absolutely love your videos, hints and tips, and indeed the downsides and crashes, brilliant and informative for amateurs like me.
I really look forward to all your videos and antics highs and lows funny too, well presented and I as a novice don't feel excluded.
Thankyou so much, p. S the downloads very helpful, it's like having a pro assisting me. Keep it up and a big up to the missis, patients of a saint!!?
Thank you for the kind words and welcome to the channel Jason!
Great show! Sorry about the accidents, but as you say, it's part of owning an FPV drone. I hope DJI fixes that battery problem -- I imagine they have had an earful from users with similar experiences! Keep the Avata videos coming! I will stick with my Mini 3 Pro and Mavic Air 2, but have enjoyed your work for a long time! Stay well!
Thnx for this video. Great mic sound also outside , just a different question: which tripod are you using for the DJI mic in studio?
Hello Stewart, been waiting on your review 👋
Nice video!
Great video I have a question can we put air tag on the drone and the battery?
Nightmare with the battery ejection when I eventually get one I'll definitely use the cable ties, great initial video I'm looking forward to more.
Appreciated!
Wonderful video. Out of all the 'testing' videos I've watched over the last few days, I noticed, in retrospect, they all seem to be in warm, sunny, dry conditions. Many include crashes that didn't pop out the battery. Don't know what the temperature was during your shoot, but you are wearing jackets, so I assume it was somewhat cool. Don't know how temperature would effect the characteristics for the plastic frame securing the battery but I just wonder if the cool, wet circumstances contributed. Just a thought.
Hook and loop strap should do the trick nicely. Thanks for pointing out this shortcoming!
Love the video 😎👍 I will be getting my Avata Tuesday, I think I will try to using a battery strap from a standard FPV drone to secure the battery. Thanks for the heads up, sorry you had to loss a drone.
Really looking forward to your in depth video using the motion controller if you're planning on it still.
Good review Stuart. Shame about losing the drone and battery.
Great video as always guys! I'm new to FPV and I'm tempted to pick one of these up. After having a look, I'm fairly certain that the drone ships with a motion sensor controller and not the one that you were using for this review. I'd be interested to see what you could achieve with the controller DJI actually ship with the drone? Thanks for the great content.
You do excellent videos Stewart.
Quick q - did you ad a filter in post to get your footage looking soft like that? Other footage I have seen looks oversharpened.
Cheers!
I really need to get up to the Highlands 🤜
Ha! No, no, no...just for us! There's no, err, room for you! Glad to see you still killing it on your channel. No idea how you put out so many videos!!
@@DroneFilmGuide haha 😂 I’ll invade and get out quickly ! 😂🏴 Thank you means a lot 🙏
In the settings for the custom mode (M mode) can you set it up so that it's basically like S mode but uncap the max speed?
Thanks for sharing your bad day with us. :D
I like how you grade this footage
Great video! what is the tripod/stand you use for the DJI mic at the end?
Great review as always Stew! The Avata looks good and sounds promising, I was a little bit surprised by DJI's decision to include only the motion controller in the combo. Also its a bit heavy for a cinewhoop, given the fact that they are now upto Mini 3 (all sub 250g) I was hoping it would be lighter. Would love to get your take on that in a future video perhaps.
Cheers
Great video. My Avata arrived this morning and I waited almost 7hours for the drone battery to be fully charged. Which seems very excessive, after doing all the upgrades etc I have set the battery on charge again with a dji USB charger in the hope its quicker. On my Mini 2 and Mavic Zoom I am able to import my NFZ authorisations but can't see where this can be done on the Avata, Do you know if its possible ? Interestingly a friend had mentioned the battery falling out and he uses a velcro strap which does save the cable tie's. Tonight after the updates I took off unexpectedly in my front room and after the initial shock it was surprisingly easy to control with the motion controller, however in my rush to try it I hadn't read the documentation fully and didn't know how to make it land so I had to leave it to auto land after battery depletion lol.... lucky escape
Stewart, do you think it would be possible to fix an Airtag to either the drone or battery? It wouldn't help much submerged I am sure, but might offer a secondary location feature to the drone and only add 11 grams, from what I see in the AirTag tech specs. This work around doesn't of course address the issue, but could provide a workaround.
As a novice in gps drones, and never having tried any fpv, I do see this as something to peak my interest.
Hey Mark. Yes, an Airtag would probably be a good solution. Other suggestions in the comments are reusable cable ties and velcro straps.
Nice video
Good pick fpv ☺️
I didn't know about GyroFlow ; thanks for that.
ur patience is what i learned from this video
Your wife truly loves you lol. That was one heck of a first experince with the Avata.👍
Great video. The way the battery locks in, it's hard to believe that the battery would come out. I can hear the click of both battery tabs.
This drone looks so fun. As other ones. Thanks for share your honest experience with it.
It reminds me my first drone.
I was so excited, waiting for a month for it and it was destroyed in just 30 minutes.
if this drone were more resistant, it would be fantastic. I think it would be hard to find if it is crashed in remote zones.
@Stewart and Alina
How do you remove the fish eye effect the gimble creates?
Have you considered making a velcro strap to hold the battery?
Great content as always.
I would have thought that the rigorous testing procedures done by DJI would have experienced the battery issue and been resolved before releasing the final product.
FAMOUS LAST WORDS
Great video, love your content. How about Velcro Tape used for cable tidy ? Should hold battery and reusable.
Concerning on how fast you lost signal when blocked, doesn't really encourage diving over a mountain/building etc
Thanks! Keep in mind FCC transmission is waaaay better.
Well done on producing such a helpful and visually exciting video! On the basis of this video and your subsequent solo video (where's Alina?!) using the motion controller, I've ordered one. I have previously flown a cheaper FPV by another manufacturer that was probably more of a toy rather than a flying camera and I couldn't get to grips with it, it was too unstable and difficult to fly smoothly but this one looks like DJI have it just right. Thanks very much and keep up the good work!
Great stuff! Hope you enjoy your Avata!
At 11:27 newbie question.. how did you connect the phone to display the goggles?
I would definitely be adding a strap of some sorts thanks you to your video.
Great review S&A, please have a look into reusable cable-ties, in south africa we get whats called Lumeno flexi ties, they are dark green and can be reused so no need for a side cutter, other more conventional reusable cable ties have a little tab you can lift to release it or else use a Velcro strap, Ive used normal cable ties to hold in batts in some off my rc creations and really sucks compared to a reusable strap
Thanks for the advice!
I've ordered a battery anti drop buckle especially for that reason .. to keep the battery in place
Thanks for the in Depth review. It’s a no go that the battery comes of that easily.
(Duck Tape might help, but paying a lot and then I have to fix it myself ???)
Nice review
Do you get more range in CE mode when using the v2 googles with the fcc hack instead of the goggles 02?
Haven't tried but you're right, this is the next step.
Nice review Stewart, does the drone fly heavier than traditional cina whoops nobody has brought that up ?
Thanks! This is my first experience of flying a cinewhoop so I don't have anything to add on that I'm afraid. What I can say as a not particularly experienced or skilled FPV pilot is that this thing is MORE than fast and agile enough for anything I'll ever be doing with it.
So how does the FCC vs CE work when you buy the drone? if you buy the drone in the US and use it in Europe, do you still get the 10 km?
I've seen others having the same battery ejection problem so I'm going to use velcro to secure it for sure. Just to comment, Alina's face looks so familiar... Ah yes, FRIDA from ABBA (or her offspring perhaps)🙂
Excellent video!
Hi Stuart will a Velcro strap work to secure the battery? Good vid as always R.I.P Avata no1.
Hey! Yes, a thin velcro strap would get the job done and it looks like there would be plenty of room to feed it through.
Maybe try velcro straps? I use them for everything around the house.
What about velcro straps to tight the battery?
Hi thanks for the honest review.
Do you can make a video inside a house? I want to use it for real estate to. But can't see good reviews of that. Especially when you fly from inside to outside etc
nice
New sub and big like on this video! Is that unfinished recording file corrupted so you can't even copy it out of the card? If not, it should be salvageable by LoosslessCut or HandBrake free software.
Stewart - how about some industrial grade velcro to secure the battery? No cable ties to "snip" 😁
love the video! i used to use the cable ties, i replaced that with velcro straps! change your life :) all you have to do is get a long velcro strap to hold the battery in ALSO attach a air tag to the drone so your will NEVER loose it! You can buy a water proof case for the air tag so you are good to go in any condition ;) have fun love the videos.
When are the pro goggles 2 gonna be compatible wit a mavic?
The battery coming out might be deliberate to save the drone. If it crashes and has the large mass of the battery to contain it would have to be a lot heavier and risk breaking something. Maybe it should keep a capacitor charged in the drone just to run the beeper and close the file on the MicroSD if battery is pulled during operation. I guess the Tile/AirTag/SmartTag+ would work too.
