  • Hand launching your Avata 2 FPV Drone can open up a lot more opportunities to fly where the ground isn't suitable for a take-off and landing. I find myself hand launching the Avata 2 more times than ground launching.

      I started practicing that more because most of my launches are from dusty, dry grassy areas. I have concerns about putting that ‘twist’ of torque on the props/motors, or even. Effecting the gyros/GPS systems. With my Mini 3 and 4 Pro I’ve gotten accustomed to regular hand launches. The foldable landing pads aren’t always convenient either. Appreciate your great training for me!

    I’ve been practicing the hand launching/landing. I lightly hold from the bottom, double click the orange button, and let its own lifting raise out of my hand. For landing I bring it in low, and gently grab from the top, and without putting up/down pressure press the orange land till the beep and it does the land and stay steady until the motors shut off. Sometimes, it wants to fly again and accelerates to liftoff, and repeat second time, and it works. ALWAYS being sure to keep hands clear no matter! I never tried or like the grab and twist.🇺🇸

    Hey Justin. Thanks for the great videos for the avata 2. You are making the life of a noob much easier. Do you have a video where you talk how to deal with windy conditions?
    Also do you ever plan to create a video how to edit drone footage?

    • @JustinBainbridgeYT
      @JustinBainbridgeYT  Před 5 dny

      Hey! You're welcome! That's what I'm here for, to make everyone have a smoother, safer more enjoyable experience. Windy condition just comes with experience to be honest. I have a video on wind considerations with stabilised drones like the Mini 4 Pro but with FPV you just have to account for the wind and just adjust your attitude to suit. I do have plans for this. It might be a little while to come but it's on the list 😃

    What do you think of bumpers and prop guards. I think they saved me on a drone job crash between balcony and trees.

    • @JustinBainbridgeYT
      @JustinBainbridgeYT  Před 6 dny +2

      I'm neither here nor there with them to be honest. I think some have the potential to protect in some medium level impact crashes. But if you crash hard, the guards won't save you. I also tend to fly a bit faster and more spritely with the Avata 2 and they would have a significant negative impact on the flight performance in this instance. For slow stuff, they won't really have much of an effect on flight. As for the camera bumpers, potentially good, but I'm not sure how the mounting points would hold up. Personally, I'm happy with knowing if I have a bad crash, it'll be damaged, so I just fly with a little room for error 😃

    How do you launch from a moving vehicle. Like sailboat or such?

    • @JustinBainbridgeYT
      @JustinBainbridgeYT  Před 6 dny

      It's more difficult and depends on the speed. To be honest. There are too many factors for me to recommend one method as I would use different methods based on the speed of the vehicle. And how much space you have, etc. The best option is just to stop the boat or get it to go very slowly, then use this style of technique. But bare in mind you'll be trying to catch a moving drone so you'd have to stay in control of it and match the speed, etc, and it gets a bit messy.

      Just a thought we bought a sailboat.
      And we are not experienced enough to just stop with the sails,(we could go up in to the wind 🤔) we would have to pulle the sails down then launch the drone fly then stop and pulle the sails down.
      I think up into the wind is the way to go .. thanks 🙏

      It's a nice strap, just put a small drop of oil on the clasp before you use it or it can be a bit stiff. Just wipe off any excess before you use it with the controller 😃
