Hey Dustin, I just checked out your initial Avata 2 video- did you ever figure out the recording issues and did you ever hear from DJI ? Excellent job as usual, thx!
@DustinDunnill Ай бұрын
You need to have easy acro on before recording. Even with an update, recording live view (view through goggle front cameras is hit and miss when you switch. Updates will solve the issues according to DJI but not sure when 🍻

For a safe way of finding your avata 2 if you don’t make it home, just hook up your phone with the dji fly app, to your goggles. It will give you the gps position of where your drone has landed to a very close proximity.

Dude, a MILE! I love mine so far, just got it yesterday. First drone and I can't express enough how easy it is to control for a first timer. I don't know what to compare it to but I am extremely impressed with all of the options and tech with this drone. Its great. Yesterday, I went out back about a quarter mile. Easy, no issue. Tonight I did the same, saw some deer feeding and it lost signal suddenly. Not sure why, could have been a random connection thing. But other than that, its been beyond great.

I've been flying stuff for about a decade, never usually a fan of FPV. Always preferred line of sight. However, I recently started putting together a couple of planes with Ardupilot. I like being able to set a waypoint mission, then just observe it via the video. It was actually thanks to my DJI Mini SE that tickled the interest in FPV more.

Definitely the most exciting drone video that I’ve seen yet. I bought my Avata 2 with goggles and controller etc…about two weeks ago. Just before that I bought the Mini 4 Pro with the RC2. I’ve flown the Mini and LOVED it. Lately I’ve been learning about the Avata 2 and the goggles, watching videos and lining up my settings. By the way, watch out for updates. They can change settings back to defaults. In a recent video as of 5/8/24, one flyer described how an update resetted the default recording setting to Goggles only (why would a developer do this?). So after you experience an update, make sure the camera recording setting is set to “both” so that the goggles are recording AND the drone is also recording. You want that 4k footage! Happy droning, and thanks for this video. Seeing your drone losing power while forty feet up next to the top of the pine tree was nerve wracking to watch, let alone experience it as the owner of the drone. Last note: I will definitely be buying that little tracker that you suggested…make that two of them!

Great video. Thank you! After watching lots of videos, yours made me finally decide on the Avata 2. Also, great idea on the tracker. I'll for sure get one. Just one suggestion. When you are on low battery, try to decrease playing with the camera angle. All that camera operation and stabilization takes energy and decreases the aerodynamic profile of the drone.
@andrehome2493 Ай бұрын
Always wanted to see a range test in sports mode, maybe you burn more power but you are getting to distance faster, interesting, good job Bro.
@DirtyBird Ай бұрын
Great range tests. I was surprised how well the battery held up in the Sport Mode run. I agree max efficiency for the Avata 2 is around 26 mph. DJI seems to have already established the most efficient speed for each model & sets it as the RTH speed. When you did the recovery on the Normal Mode test I was hoping you would spot the missing Mini 4 Pro. :)

The rocking motion you see during the RTH is not due to winds... It's the inherent funny nature of the algorithms in the drone. DJI is working on it to get a fix.

@noohohno Ай бұрын
Thanks for range test and link to the self powered beeper. Home flight area is hilly and heavily forested. Real variable signal strength due to the obstructions. Still impressed with the Avata 2 ability to penetrate through the obstructions relative to my older analog hardware. So far, the MC3 has made flying relaxing. Only one crash and one broken propeller after 20 flights. Fraction of the "usual" number of crashes and broken propellers. Have a bunch of M76 2mm T mount propellers that look identical to the stock DJI Avata 2 propellers. Only issue are the spacing of the 2mm mounting holes. Fraction of a mm wider than std MT76 propellers. DJI props and the first bunch of non-OME that hit the market are a bit on the relatively pricey side. The plus is not breaking, chipping, dinging propellers as frequent.
@Glock27gunner Ай бұрын
Great test! I remember when you lost the Mini 4, maybe you could use the Avata 2 to look for it. Its a lot more nimble than the Mavic 3 and with head tracking might give you better search capabilities. Its been out there for a while so who knows, might be in bad shape at this point. Anyway, good idea on the tracker, considering getting one of these.

This was my very first drone and I did come from RC planes and then 3-D helicopters so I have some decent flight experience and so far my 10 year-old son and I have gone through nine batteries together and I think I’m going to have to buy another one for him, but I couldn’t agree more that this is by far the best FPV drone and maybe even the best drone to buy for a beginner or even moderate expert for just an all-around fun to fly toy/whatever you want to use it for drone. I bought the controller also and I charged it and I have yet to even screw the sticks on or turn it on because we have only flown it with the motion controller, which is absolutely a blast And does make it so easy that I think almost anybody could fly this drone and get pretty good at it pretty quick or at least good enough to not crash it all over the place because it is so intuitive. Thanks for the range Check because I was kind of wondering how far it could go because even though I have DJI Care refresh, I wasn’t interested in risking a fly away in my first week.
