@markus4979 Ай бұрын

Had to subscribe for such great mix of great sense of humour and great demo + info, brilliant keep going! Great to show the bloopers! =) Just re penetration (distance) test, did you use Focus Mode in case that helps and ideally have antennas probably positioned more consistently pointing in same direction always during entire test without car blocking. it looks like googles were sitting on the box behind windshield. Also night camera test ideally have a test with exact same settings for comparison + one with auto to show the difference/advantage in both manual vs auto conditions for consistency. Otherwise awesome (cool car btw. :D ). Btw. isn't it perhaps better for connectivity to look with googles more in the direction/level where you're flying? (I only started this week with Avata 2 and noticed it's tempting to look downwards into the ground but probably not ideal and perhaps can make a difference towards end of bandwidth connectivity.

I love my Avata 2, it's definitely an upgrade. My only negative about the avata 2 is that it doesn't seem as durable as the first one and you cant self repair it. The Avata 1 you could replace prop guard and frame but the Avata 2 it doesn't seem possible. I had to purchase care refresh for Avata 2 so I can feel more comfortable when flying it. Other then that everything about the avata 2 is awesome. Love your videos ken keep it up

@saintkenny9296 Ай бұрын

I removed a few screws with no success. They have a couple screws that are rounded off underneath the aircraft to help prevent us from opening it up. 😢

@briansaner101 Ай бұрын

Yeah i havent even tried to mess with it. After i purchased it i watched Mads Tech video on dismantling it later on that day. i wasnt happy to find out what he showed on his video. Its like DJI said nope were making it hard to self repair so they can sell more care refresh packages and further their repair services. But i still love it and in many ways a definite upgrade. @@saintkenny9296

@GameChronicles Ай бұрын

Crashed mine on third flight when RtH took it into a tree and it dropped straight down and broke prop and bent shroud. Best Buy said it was irreparable, so my repair plan turned into a replace plan. Was back in the air 6 hours after crash.

Hey Ken I’m 14 years old been doing droning for 4 years now and been upgrading for a few years now now have the air 2s and now want to start making some money with it by doing roofing inspections progression jobs and inspections but I know I need a part 107 and need to be 16 to get it is it legal if my mom gets the license and everything that involves getting money with the drone is ran by her even if she knows nothing about the drone I’ve been getting work done with the drone for people but now realizing that my name is getting out there alittle bit and now seeing that I should really consider this license so the faa dosnt start to come over here and start fine me or should I just wait until I’m 16 to get it up and running

@KenHeron Ай бұрын

First off good for him!!! Exciting to see young kids making money early!! Hey bud! In order to earn money yourself, you need to be 16. The one exception would be to can work under someone (like mom) with a part 107 and you can serve as the Remote Pilot in Command. The money would have to flow through your mom or whomever has the 107. Good luck!

@KenHeron Ай бұрын

No, gyroflow will create an output file comparable to the original files resolution

@NickSpirov Ай бұрын

Why GyroFlow (or other post-processing) will always be better than any in-flight stabilization: because it sees the whole video including the FUTURE parts, while the in-flight stabilization only has the past part of the video.

I am loving my new Avata 2. Just received the new Controller 3 and it is defiantly an upgrade in flying than the OG Avata! Flying in Manual Mode Fun in the wind is best with the Avata 2. The Motion Lotion Controller just doesn't do as well. I really hope DJI offers a better option soon regarding that rubber floppy seal around your face which to me is very infuriating to say the least. I can only imagine in the summertime with that glued to your face and feeling the molded plastic right behind it. I need some cushion DJI or some friendly 3rd party person to make the Goggles 3 more comfy. Wish the strap was a little bigger for my "Big Head", but it is what it is. I have 2 sets of Ken Dobo's "Ribbed for Your Pleasure" guards on the way. Ken is the only one that has any guards for the new Avata 2! Thank You, Sir!
