Bought an Avata a couple weeks ago on sale for $829 not realizing the Avata 2 was coming out so soon. On the third attempt to fly it made a fizzle sound and started smoking like crazy. Totally bummed (cause I loved flying it) I packed it up and returned it to find to great delight the 2 is out! Arrives in a few days. Can barely wait! Luck with unluck! You're video has me even more excited. I feel like a kid!
Thank you for all your reviews
Another great video Danny mate. Always honest and to the point. The drone looks amazing and as always dji is just so easy to throw in a bag and jump on a plane without the hassle of fire proof bags etc. Thanks again brother 👍🏼
Great video, thanks 🙏🏽 I got the first Avata and will be upgrading asap 🔥
Just grabbed mine through your link. 🎉 Thanks for the review!
Never commented before, but I've been watching ya ever since I started my FPV journey. You are a cool dude, man. Appreciate all the effort you do to give us info on our purchasing decisions. Footage looks awesome! Going to make my switch from Walksnail into DJI with the o4 system :) Thanks again!
Ahhh stoked to have you along for the ride man!
Nice concise review with keys details. Subscribed
Great review. Stunning footage. Thank
Glad you enjoyed it
New subscriber due to this video! and your LUT Pack! Keep it up! Thank you.
First drone for me, just graduated college well tomorrow lol and I'm super stoked to take this to the high desert mountians I live by.
Your LUTs are dope!
Solid review man. I love the Avata 2. I feel that 30fps view in the goggles, LOL. It's real.
Great video! You convinced me this is going to be my next drone. Big step coming from the first Mavic Air. Btw I just purchased your luts and have to say I'm really surprised how good they are. I was first sceptical with the price but totally worth it. Using them on DaVinci Resolve. Thanks mate!
Cheers Danny, was waiting for this video from you 😄 thank you for the info!
great review just got one.
Thank you for your detailed assessment. We are also currently considering purchasing the Avata 2 in addition to the Air 2S and the Mini 4 Pro.
Do you get a drone? I just bought the DJI mini 4 pro two days ago. Getting ready to get the avata 2 today. Super hyped to be in 1st person
Great review 👍
I grabbed one of these, but in looking at your clips, I think I will still want a go-pro on top. I wish DJI would just get together with GoPro and make an all-in-one amazing unit! (with a friggin aperture adjustment!!!)
Been waiting for this ❤
Thinking of getting the AVATA 2 it’ll be my first FPV! Definitely excited about it!
I have the 1 and its amazing, i cant imagine how much more fun this is with all the upgrades
So you thinking or buying it?
@@SLOSHPLOP ahaha yesssir!! Just waiting for Best Buy to have it in stock so I can use my status card n get it tax free 😂😂
@@a-hvlogs2046 it’s not amazing man. It’s one of the worst FPV drones. Please don’t call things amazing if you had no comparison. It’s clearly your first drone and I won’t believe you in million years if you say it isn’t. Even older DJI FPV is better than that. Slow, sounds like a mosquito on coke, losing control after SIMPLE manoeuvres like flat yaw spin, not to mention anything intermediate or advanced. Even medium strength wind and you can forget about nice steady content. We are talking FPV here - FPV = manual mode, if you wanna talk about N/S mode for pensioners and based on that call it amazing you need to find a video about Mavicks and other GPS drones, but even there it’s gonna be the worst GPS drone. It’s like buying Ford Fiesta and calling it amazing because you never had a car before and now you are happy to drive from point A to B instead of walking or cycling.
@@mattwebb5453 so you not really thinking about it are you? You decided already and just wait for it to be in stock to order. I’m not native English speaker but it blows my mind how people miss use the words. Previous guy calls Avata 1 AMAZING ( so what is a real fpv 5” or 7” cruiser or even DJI FPV? Ultra mega bombastic? ), now this guy says he is thinking of getting one while he already decided to get one. The world is doomed.
Cool review 👌🏻
My Avata 2 just arrived! Excited to set it up! 🥳🤩
Have fun!
So far loving the Avata 2. Controller 3 comes in Wednesday. 😎
Are you going to be using this for indoor shoots for real estate or events? really considering selling all my current fpv gear for the avata 2
What makes the GoPro better? Low light ? Dynamic range? Or is it the colours?
Im excited to see 4k true hdr on this!
Great presentation and those locations look stunning. Sub'd.
Great video! Question: I have an original Avata which needs to be tethered to my iPhone running the DJI Fly app. Does the Avata 2 and new DJI Goggles require a iPhone/Android connection for flight?
An excellent and concise review, thanks for sharing. DJI has really listened and fixed the main complaints of the original Avata. Definitely appreciating the reduced noise levels, secure battery fitment and image quality. The new easy acro modes are quite promising. Hopefully with future updates, DJI will expand the range of moves/add more customising. I would also like to see a package that includes the remote controller 3 with the fly more combo instead of the motion controller. I`ve been flying stabilised camera drones for a couple years now and I`d really like to make the leap to FPV, this seems like the perfect drone to fit the bill.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video , I got mine a few days ago, are the rear/underneath sensors on by default I cant see any setting for this !!
So on the drift...
I've seen clips of it being used but...
The clip ends going backwards which is cool, but..now you can't see what's coming and how do you get it going forward again? Drift again in hopes before you slam into something?
I've not seen it fully explained or shown.
Im looking to purchase my 1st drone. Should i go for mini pro 4 or Avata 2?
Mainly for traveling
Cool, but did they release fully customizable controls yet? Been waiting for years for them to add in standard mode 4
I’m thinking of mounting the new insta360 x4 on this and on my Mavic 3 pro when I fly just to have more to work with
How it feels indoor flying? Cinebot25 or cinelog 25 is better for indoor real estate?
would you think that this could be a great beginner drone aswell?
I’m thinking of getting the avata 2, do you/anyone recommend getting the ND filters with it?
can you fly DJI O3 drones with controller 3 and goggles 3?
Thx for the Video. Where can I get the cam mount?
Is there the auto-record, so you never forget to push the record button when you fly?
Picture in picture mode is sooooo smart! Here in sweden we cant fly fpv drones without someone beside whos watching the drone doe to the law... so now you can fly it without someone els having to watch the drone... 🎉🎉🎉
In the UK, it must be with naked eye, ( or with corrective lenses) so seeing it on a screen , or binoculars, etc is out !
Is it compatible with Goggles 2 and Fpv Controller 2? Literally want to upgrade so my drone isn’t causing so much attention screeching around lol noise is so shrilling.
Does it work with controller 2 and goggles integra?
Would love to see a video on your camera settings! I had such a tough time with the original avata with noise and quality. Did you use an ND filter with your footage?
Most of the time I did yeah. Main thing is to make sure your shutter speed is at the correct setting. But I'll probably make a video out of it 🤘🏽
Is it possible to perform the easy acros while recording?
Does the remote support mode 4? The previous avata did not.
Can I use my dji fpv controller 2 on this?
Can I use the googgles 2 and the controller of avata on avata 2?
Have mine now but worried about all the broken ones I've been seeing. Seems like they sacrificed durability for weight and flight. /: would be nice if it was more user serviceable, but ultimately I picked this up planning to switch to O4 air unit DIYs after I learn enough. Doesn't hurt me as much as some if it is as fragile as it seems.
Can this do object tracking like the Mini 4 Pro? Forgive me, I'm brand new to the research on these drones.
Thank you Danny. Did you mention compatibility, or it is not worth?
It is currently not compatible with any of the previous generation stuff from DJI, not the controller, motion controller or goggles.
It would be cool if you could adjust the size of the flips and rolls on easy acro
Im debating on getting the avata 2,
Would be my first fpv drone. I figured it would go good with the mini 4.
Does it have open gate feature like the action?
Dude is that Playa Manta in CR?! ..Pura Vida! 🌴✌
I cant buy it in my country is there a sute that sell it internationally?
Much appreciated as always, pro tips! Is this a rig you would use on gigs?
I'd probably mount a GoPro up top if I used it for gigs. But honestly the footage is close so we'll see when the time comes
@@Mcgeee makes sense😅 well, looking forward to that footage. Cheers man!
So I can’t decide between FPV or just a regular one I guess my question is what is the advantage to having one the isn’t FPV vs the FPV? You’re getting the same shots you just get to see it with the goggles basically right? So why wouldn’t you get FPV ? Help me please!
How long does it take to charge those batteries
When I get my Avata 2 I'm going to fly 95% manual mode, probably 4% normal in sport mode but with the same FPV3.
One thing I will absolutely be trying for fun is holding the motion RC3 in my pocket while wearing the goggles with a hood up. One-handed incognito flight sounds like it would be a fun time.
Rc3 not even in stock so you won’t be flying manual
Great video D :)
Thanks! 😀
Гарне відео чувак! Чекаємо на о4 юніт, сподіваюся вони збільшать розмір сенсора до такого ж як і в авата 2
How did you fly past 2 months, it just released 2 weeks ago )
Bro, have you heard of the new 8K X4 by insta360
Hi what the props inch size?
does it have atti mode?
How do you turn on D-log ?
I'm comparing this to the Mini 4 Pro - I don't plan on taking a lot of cinematic/photography shots, but I also don't think I'd get into hardcore FPV flying, just to have a leisurely time meandering in the air. So I'm not sure if I want the extra flight time of the Mini 4 Pro.
So what are you, the Marques Brownlee of drones? 2 months?
If easy acro also did cliff dives it would’ve been KILLERRRR
new subscriber here hello from Australia
an honest review! love it!
So the yaw washout hasn't been fixed it seems
Thank for your review !
GoPro is still better ?
Footage wise yes
@@Mcgeee Thought it would be better since it has a bigger sensor than GoPro's 🤔
Yeah I was really hoping the footage would be better on the avata. Guess I'll need to keep the go pro.
Still flying my mavic 2 zoom 4 years and 8 months, still running the first set of props ;)
Wow i lost 2 drones in 2 years
How to shoot portrait video ind avata 2? 9:16 Aspect ratio
is this waterproof or air registance . wight registance . what is the cost between. dji avata combo vs DJI avata 2 combow . answer me please
100% waterproof, can fly in any weather, even moderate tornadoes, and underwater.
What’s the location in the beginning of the video at 00:24-00:26?
Looks like somewhere in kurdistan
How long before Dji puts a 360 camera on their drones?
I hope they do. 360º or 180º to create immersive videos. The problem is getting the drone out of the shot.
@@pedzsan ah didn’t think of that
but it wont do 24fps?
Did you get tribal permission for the Shiprock flight?
LOL get farked. 😂
@@EdwardHeavrin Feel better? Grow up sport.
The white bikini was STUNNING.
How in all whats holy are you flying the Avata 2 for two months?
Does it come with the goggles and batteries?
What is the flly time?
What are your camera settings?
Will make a video on that soon 🤘🏽
@@Mcgeee Perfect! thank you! Your videos inspired me to get into FPV!
Can you wear these with glasses or are the goggles adjustable to bad sight?
Hey mate, think they come with diaoptic inserts. So happy days
@@robertcorbin1235 Awesome! Thanks for the reply
@@senpairostudios sweet as mate
All i need to know is how far it can fly.. can it fly with far obstacles
Hey!
For me the lack of compatibility kills it, again! The goggles are not downward compatible, not even to the O3 air unit. If this is fixed in the future, I'll think again. If it even will be ok with the older units like Vista, it's a yes. The FPV controller 3 has to be purchased extra. I missed these informations in your review, still thanks for the good work as always.
I’m pretty sure they’ll update it later dji is just waiting for a sales number or something. It’s just to make pp buy the whole pack
It definitely will come eventually just takes awhile to rollout
Yea they already said it’ll come later in an update.
Hehe I only have a M4P 😂
There was a prerelease firmware where it was compatible but they pulled it before release, so it's coming.
Awesome Video 🫡 🫡
8:55 It still has the YAW WASHOUT Tumble... like the AVATA 1... BIG FAIL...will DJI ever make a FPV drone that does not fall from the sky when you make a quick turn??
DJI: shut up and give me your money!
Two months?!
Does it shoot in 24 FPS???
not currently
3:33 WTF?!?!?! PUMPKIN PEOPLE ARE REAL!?!?!?!
I need to get up off my lazy 🫏 and experiment more but my Mavic 3 Cine can be used with the goggles and motion controller. For high quality footage, I’m wondering if that might not be the best solution (currently). Thoughts?
As a professional pilot, I'm really looking forward to the day that I don't need to run a gopro on my quads... Hoping this can replace it
Genuine question: given all the US restrictions on drone flight, why would an average consumer spend $1k on a drone like this?
Would you like to elaborate on what restrictions you are referring to?
I don't have any issues flying in most places.
@@nousername4me2use FAA restrictions of course. I'm close to Washington DC which, as I understand, is the most heavily controlled airspace in the US.
Wow, I have watched so many reviews and you-tubers in the space and I just stumbled across you recently. You are hands down the best in my opinion. Well thought out videos, great production and intelligent. Just amazing man.
In the EU this drone has the same top speed as the Mini 3 and 4 which sucks for FPV and stops me from buying this
There is a lot of easy ways to switch to FCC mode. On the Avata one a simple way to do it was just add one single special file to your googles SD card and it would always be in FCC as long as the SD card was in.
The past two months or so 🤔
