- This is my first impressions review of the new DJI Avata FPV drone and new goggles 2. Join me for my first full flight with the DJI Avata and see what my first impressions are... spoiler alert I was very pleased. I think this is the drone I have been waiting for, although lacking in some aspects compared to the DJI FPV it more than makes up for it in others. The DJI Avata is built like a tank so no being worrying about crashing and if you happen to run into small objects it is no problem most of the time it will keep on flying. The new goggles 2 with its 1080 OLED screens make for a nice sharp crisp image allowing you to pick up on small details and obstacles easily. This drone is a lot of fun and the video quality is incredible! Lots of video footage to get a feel for the quality of the video the DJI Avata captures.

So nice to see somebody focusing on nice video with this drone instead of "RedBull" speed and stunts. Looking forward to the next one! Thanks!
Same here, that's why I'm here too. He's always honest in the reviews. No glam just facts and lots of helpful tips and info :).
I was thinking the exact same thing. When I want a straight forward review with the details that matter, I come to this channel. 💪😃👍
Touche
Loving how compact and convenient DJI Avata is. And the new goggles looks so much better in my opinion plus features that makes it more fun to use.
Awesome to know the second DJI FPV Avata is what we needed to get going with FPV drones. I am looking forward to get my Avata next Tuesday. Just like you, I always felt intimidated with the first DJI FPV. Thanks for sharing.
Best of both worlds with this drone. Cinematic shots plus adrenaline rush from flying. Hope to fly DJI Avata real soon.
You fly that drone like you knew what you were doing there Sean ! Noice...Mine is on the way, looking forward to it !
Great first/ second flight Shawn 😂! My son James and I are headed out Saturday morning to film our first flight. Can’t wait. 👍
WOW that's awesome bro :) Thank you for sharing looking forward to seeing more of your vlogs on this new drone. :)
Thank you very much for watching and supporting my channel it’s truly appreciate it
This looks like a really fun drone to fly. Thanks for the upload.
I saw Shawn smiling all the way from Florida. That man is hooked!
Great review and what a beautiful area (wherever it is)!
That’s so cool!
Very interesting perspective listening to you I’ve heard so much negative stuff about the goggles I was starting to kind of wonder but I think you pushed me over the fence to get them thanks for the review
Lovely footage Shawn! The footage for full auto looks really good, which honestly is probably a more practical setting for an FPV. I've been sitting on the fence with this one for a while now but your video made me realize how useful the different perspective would be in story telling. Cheers!
I am really enjoying it, DJ I really nailed it with this one. Thanks for watching Steve.
Amazing . Best Drone
Nice flight, this seems handle really well. And this is type of cruising I would do if I got the Avata. And also I very encouraged about how much you liked the goggles, because I don't consider flying FPV because I never tried a set of goggles I liked. or could see well out of. Great review Shawn, and thanks for sharing.
Goggles hurt my nose on fpv. I still figure out form replacement does wrk.
You probably won’t like the goggles
Tried the old FPVv2? Heaps more comfy
Another great a video Shawn! Although it’s not for me, I enjoy watching others flying it!
Thanks Barb. I appreciate the support
I can't wait for mine to come In
very nice dude.
I enjoyed this
Nice flight ! Been waiting for this one from DJI - hoping to get one for myself real soon. Had a few pucker moments I see 😊.. lol cheers
Really cool real life footage. Just waiting for my drone only package to come in stock and ship out. Actually sold my Cinelog30 for this. Looks be perfect for my use and I’ve been flying fpv fully for 6yrs🙏🏼 Good job.
Awesome thanks for sharing that. I’ve done about seven flights so far and it is exactly what I want for my needs. Thank you for watching and supporting my channel
We enjoy your reviews ,thank you!
I’m with you on the goggles, and I know hard-core FPV guys who think these goggles are definitely sharper and clearer and more vivid color than the previous version.
Great first flight Shawn, Santa might be coming early this year…great preview of the DJI Avanta
You have an excellent sense of direction.
Great footage! I need one! Greetings from Mexico.
Thank you very much
Great first flight Sean, hitting gaps and taking slaps and the wee Avata took it in its stride.
Hi Shawn, thank you for another great Video! 😊 👋
I've also ordered the Avata Pro View Combo, Fly More Pack and a separate FPV-Controller.
Should be delivered next week and I'm really looking forward 🤠
All the Best from Northern Germany! 🤗
I’ve watched a lot of reviews on the avata. To me this drone is loud. So what. Lol. This drone is perfect for close proximity cinematic flight footage. So much so your video has convinced me I need to buy it. Having the DJI/FPV. I just need the drone and batteries. My controller will work.
Great 2nd flight Sean
Great review Air Photography.
Love to see one with the hand wand
That will be coming later this week 👍
Great video! I just got mine the other day and I’m loving it. I actually got mine stuck in a tree yesterday and was able to get it out without a scratch on it. Between this and my air 2S with the Insta 360 sphere on it, I have the perfect arsenal. I shoot a lot of real estate video, so I’m looking forward to shooting interior vids with the Avata!
Awesome thanks for sharing that. It’s nice to hear other peoples thoughts as well. And indeed DJ has a nice up now To suit everyone’s needs. And I quite enjoy my sphere as well you can do some really cool stuff with it
Have you had any experience flying for real estate video yet? I do real estate photography and was thinking this drone will be perfect to start doing interior video. Not to mention to replace my dinosaur DJI 3 SE.
@@dizzlerod not yet but I’m working on it. A couple of more weeks for my own listing coming up 👍
Good video again Shawn and good footage.
Awesome footage. Great first flight.
Wow - excellent footage!
Thanks!
Been out of the quad market in forever, this one really has me tempted. Ideally, I wish the mini 3 pro and Avata had a baby. Under 250g, keep your obstacle avoidance sensors, but give me all the other smart video shots of the mini 3 pro with the FPV’s power’s and performance.
Always in line of sight😄
I seen spotters all over the place. Those squirrels where keeping a great eye on it.
Looks like a good way to scout a trail.
Gtrat first impressions! When flying in a public park low to the gound with a fpv drone and high speed you really have to be certain that there are no other people walking there. Otherwise you may hit someone
Nice run in comparison to the first fpv they should sell a lot more of these
Awesome. Can’t wait to get mine. Bye DJI Fpv I will miss you.
I have the same sentiment. The Avata is more than meet my needs now, so I will be putting my FPV up for sale soon
@@AirPhotography I threw mine up on eBay soon after ordering an Avata. I noticed the controllers are like gold all of a sudden
Amazing
Very nice drone
It looks great for hiking.I hope to buy it in January 👍🏻
Indeed due to its small form factor, smaller batteries and light weight it’ll be much easier for hiking and backpacking as well as travel
Nice bike
That looks great and even though the new goggles look terrific I'll probably end up just getting the drone only, along with a couple of extra batteries. I do still love the DJI FPV drone though -- the scariness of the thing is part of its appeal for me, I guess -- but this one would be nice to get away from the "white knuckle" aspect for a while.
This thing is amazing
I don’t think I’ll use the motion control much either but it will be a great means to share the fun of flying with friends and family who don’t know how to fly manual👍
There's already sponge foam available for new goggle 2 on DJI website.
I would love one of those but there so expensive. Good video can’t wait for more fpv videos . How fast can it go?
good job "Air"
That’s pretty neat!
👍
Hey shawn. Wow, that was crazy in that it has the ability to just carry on through obstacles like long grass and tree branches. Only issue for me is the flight time, but besides that, it seems like an insane little drone with a lot of potential. Cheers buddy! 👍
You have to remember that battery can’t be compared to other DJI products, but other FPV drones. Normal FPV drones get around 5min flights per charge so even getting 10 minutes per charge for DJI is insane.
@@johnkelley3818 Good point. Personally, I'm not to familiar with the FPV world.
Good, interesting video!It's just a pity that the telemetry screen is small.
Great footage - this is it, this is what I want to do with dron - this kind of tight space exploration I was afraid doing with Mavic style drones. You can basically do urbex with this.
that had gone through my mind as well I’ve done a lot of urbex exploring myself over the years I used to have an urbex channel many years ago. A drone like this would be perfect for that. Especially for structures that are no longer safe to explore, I think you could even mount a small light on the top to light up dark interiors
@@AirPhotography Good point with the light. Pilot Institute measured trust of about 900 grams, so there is definitely space for some cargo/load.
Go in the goggle menu. Turn on head tracking. Fly it then.
I'm still waiting for mine 😭 good video 😉👍
Hi, nice video, how do i remove the hud display post production. TIA
I like the fact that you are "cruising" with the Avata instead of using it as a toy for racing. For sure the Avata can deliver very good cinematic video footage. Right? 🙂
So far I’ve been quite pleased with the footage. I’m sure as my experience grows the footage will be smoother and more cinematic but even for my first flight I thought it was pretty good considering I don’t have a lot of experience
I’m still on the fence about this. Can’t do much more than my other drones and Ronin gimbal with full-frame camera.
Was that 2nd flight in sport mode?
13:12 older v2 810p, Goggles 2 1080p They are slight improvement, Goggles 2 (new ones) No active cooling aka no fan and fog up quickly seeing a lot of complaints.
I’ve been reading about some people having fogging up issues I guess maybe it depends on your environment and humidity levels. As of now I’ve done seven flights and I have not had any fogging issues whatsoever. Most days I’ve been flying it’s been about 30° and fairly humid. I really wonder what the differences is, maybe it has something to do with the way it fits the face. For example back when we had to wear masks people with glasses with fog up from their own breath. So maybe some people where it doesn’t fit correctly around the nose it is fogging up from breathing perhaps
Nice flights. Hope you had an ND8 filter or something installed to protect the lens from all that brush it whacked! Oh ya, what's the proper spelling of your 1st name?
Thanks for your valuable first impressions! This looks like possibly a great choice for me as a beginner? I’ve been sitting on the fence waiting for the best option. Mini 3 Pro or Avata is a tough choice!
They are completely different. I would recommend you to start with a MINI 2 or 3 and master on it…then after you could consider the AVATA.
@@marcelinocastillo2871 Thanks, makes sense!
Yeah it can be a tough decision. Most people get more usage out of a traditional drone and definitely could be the best option. At the end of the day all these drones are easy to fly DJI does a really good job at that. Yeah the benefit of the mini 3 is you do have obstacle avoidance. Mind you with a drone like this you don’t really need it lol if you hit something you just pick it up and start again
@@AirPhotography Right, not too worried about hitting things really. I guess the one to buy is whichever version I would use the most!
Indeed he’ll just have to think about what you think you’ll get the most use And which one you think you would enjoy flying the most.
FPV is great but I would like the option to fly without the goggles, ie cellphone or tablet. I fly alone and with the goggles I would need a spotter all the time.
I agree I would love if they made the RC Pro or the DJIRC compatible. I think a lot of people would find that appealing
Adding a PA speaker on the drone would be great, in emergencies to warn people of a danger, or just to say 'excuse me, sorry to startle you '.
Don't need 1, it has a screaming noise that comes from it that acts as a horn but is on all the time.
What are your comments in regards battery life?
Didn't want to everything, just the 'drone only,' and those shipments haven't happened yet (at least for B&H)
i would do anything to have one of thoes
The type of cinematic cruise around like this, the original FPV are actually better because of two things. Red sensors in googles appear plenty ahead if you are going straight ahead of something you know when to pull up, and way more power, so if you don't gonna pull some close to ground flipping style, the old fat boy is better in my opinion.
I'm a complete noob and never owned an fpv. Do the goggles show the exact same image in both eyes or do they stagger it to give fake depth perception?
same view
@@ChristiaanRoest79 I assume if it was "staggered" like 3d dual camera lenses you'd probably get nausea but I just wonder how cool it would be to have James Cameron avatar style 3d view.
The best explanation I can give is that imagine if your head could fly... detach from your body and fly. Problem is that if you get motion sick.. you are going to have a really bad time... otherwise your mind will be blown like you just saw a dinosaur type blown.
I started flying fpv in 2010 and never looked back.
Do you have any astigmatism? I am wondering if the new goggles will work for me. I was on the fence but after your video I may buy today. I wouldn’t feel comfortable flying any of my other DJI drones that close to vegetation and tree branches.
Yes I do actually in one of my eyes. Both my left and right eye prescription are different I’m not sure exactly what it is. With the original goggles I had to wear my glasses underneath it for the most part that worked just fine but just a pain. But with these ones I can dial them in perfectly and I don’t have to wear glasses underneath
@@AirPhotography that’s good news. Thank you.
Same in 1 of my eyes has slight astigmatism, and I can use just fine
What is the size of the motor use in this Avatar ? Is it 1408
Honestly I’m really not sure I am able to find that info out
can you use goggle 2 with a non FPV drone?
Not as of yet but there are rumors that it will be compatible with some of the Ocusync 3 Drones in the near future.
Which controller do you like better?
I think primarily I’ll be flying with the standard controller I actually do like the motion controller and I will fly with it on a regular basis. I know not everybody likes it but it is fun. I just fine with the standard controller you have a little more precision
@@AirPhotography the standard controller is hard to find now
Indeed, I wasn’t able to find one anywhere however a few days ago I noticed on the Dji website they are now available for next day shipping. Now that’s on the Canadian version of their site not sure about everywhere else
The main reason I choose not to get this drone was because of the high pitch noise level. Annoying to hear, and annoying to your surrounding environment
🤟🏼🤝😎
Range sucks for a 3k drone
Sweet! (Just look out for the Drone Karens male and female, especially since it’s noisy)
Lol already had one kind of. I will include that in my review. Because of the noise does draw attention
Tutorial: how to make a fun drone boring
To each their own
Definitely not worth the money, compared to the FPV. You're paying more money for just the bumper guards and size. Very noisy!!! Lacks penetrations and distance. DJI went backwards from the FPV. Don't be fooled!!!!!!!
I get it the strong will definitely not need everyone’s needs. However for me I think it’s the opposite of your statement. From either three main factors why this is a better choice for me. Size in Port ability, durability, and the simple fact that you can fly through things without branches making your drone crash. The FPV drone is a lot more powerful and faster but I was always nervous to fly the way I wanted. I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts its it’s always great to hear others opinions
@@AirPhotography I understand. I'm just looking at it on a different prospective.
I just think the price does not match the build. Aside from not having the blade guard, I'm happy with the FPV, and and this point, I recommended to my friends, not to spend the money.
I will agree with you on that by the time I bought the drone, care refresh, controller, fly more kit in Canada here it was almost 3000 with taxes. Very expensive for what it is.
@@AirPhotography Don't mistake my comment. I enjoy the DJI product. I have the FPV, Mavic 3 and Mini pro 3. I have use for all three. DJI should've thought the pricing through, otherwise I would've purchased it, just for the size and protection it has. But after flying one, I'm just confused.
Hello sir give me one drone dji mini please give me one drone pleaae
I hope you give me one drone dji mini please give me one drone sir please give me
