I woke up this morning and if i’m honest, in a bad mood, hardly any sleep and with a tough day ahead; my first video of the day and suddenly i’m chuckling, thanks man! That’s a care and refresh at till for me then. You did pretty good though, I’m impressed, guess this is part and parcel of life as a fpv pilot. It’ll keep you fit though. Thanks, DJI will love this video, you showed the drones durability.

What up yall! Grab some coffee for this one, it’s a long one but I wanted to take you on this FPV journey with me. It was, quite the experience I will say. Anyways, hope you enjoy this video!

I really liked your video style. Very cool, and good info on the Avata 2!

My first FPV as well. It was cool to see your journey! There is definitely a quick move from beginner to flying around fast and I think the "getting too cocky" thing is a shared experience for new folks. I know it was for me. As far as dives and recovery, Ive found the little 4-way thumb controller helps with adding Y-axis lift and dive, adding an "up" or a "down" with the thumb controller to add to the lift or the dive. Pull back on the motion controls AND push up on that thumb controller = faster upwards lift. Extra help with this is to go into the Motion Controller settings and crank up the speeds of the 4-way thumb controller all the way. Makes them more powerful for this kind of thing. Also, they programmed the turns and stuff to be slower and longer while in sport mode. Its dependent on the velocity of the drone. The faster you go, the slower your drone will bank. I can see why they did that but its worth knowing. You get used to how tight it banks in Normal but then you try that in Sport and it cant do it as tightly. I wish we could flip which direction is "up" and "down" on the 4-way thumb controller so it would work similar to the motion controls (pull back on motion controller is up, so pulling "down" on the 4-way thumb controller should be up as well, just like a flight video game).

Gotta love FPV! Great story telling, watched the full video.

Love the video man!. Very informative! Thank you for your time and work you've put into this!. Made my life easier!.. cheers! 🍺

Really enjoyed the video. Loving my Avata 2. I have been a drone pilot since the original DJI Phantom. First time trying the fpv side with the Avata 2 and really enjoying it. Thanks again for the content.

Good stuff. Thanks for making the video.

Great video guys. I've been watching a ton of Avata 2 content, and I'm about to get one in a couple weeks. One thing you've probably learned by now, the drone is much more nimble with the dual stick controller. Especially in full manual mode - but there's a big learning curve. I've had my 107 for almost 2 years and still haven't bought my own drone LOL.

Best overview of the gear and modes and um, risks! I’ve seen so far with this cool looking new drone. Thanks! I still want it, but maybe after I get some FPV practice with a cheaper micro FPV.

Got a coffee, watching Terry destroy a sexy, expensive drone… perfect Saturday night!! Let’s go😅🙌🏻

I had the exact same problem, didn't think about flexing the prop guard away and just spend one "life" on the care refresh to get it replaced. But next time I will use the flex ;)

Liking the Christmas decorations in May vibe lol

Crushed it!! Love this video!! And not gonna lie, you've got me wanting to purchase an Avata 2 (after I purchase the Air 3 and Mini 4 Pro). I need to up my "Drone Arsenal"...unless DJI is looking to sponsor my Pro Channel for product reviews lol

Basic motion practice 6-10 times before moving on outdoor stuff. Many real estate surveyors use this because of the blade guarded feature! That’s where I started and before even going outside, 10-12 flights inside is a great way to start. Plus yu don’t have to worry about having an observer. I got it to FIRST use with my Mini 4 Pro’s new FPV option. Outside you are required to have one. Enjoy.

That seems so fun

Might cop one

I’m pretty sure you can track it using the app or something and you can even play a sound from it to help you find it if you lose it.

entertaining video, when it was snowing and you decided to fly it in the house it was like uh oh famous last words 😄 though it is something I probably would have done too lol

Nice flying dude, I've been debating about getting the Avata 2..or the mini 4 pro...still undecided 😁👍

Did you change the settings first? It by default has lower speeds using the motion controller. I don’t mess with that at all. Like I have it but the RC3 I already knew I needed since I have the RC 2 and the first Avata. This new one is much better than the 1st though! Night and day, plus the camera is mucho better

Outstanding as always Terry. I have the 2 also as well as 2 AVATA 1. I use the sticks.

Terry, wondering if Avata-bird would possibly fly in light snowfall. Heated prop blades! 😉 🙏🏾

Nice work, I always like videos where the mistakes are included. Thanks for telling the real story.

I hate working night shift cause i haven’t been able to fly mine I flew it a few times and I crashed it cause I had head tracking on and i looked to the left and I knew I’d keep going straight but then a bush came up quick and crashed but it’s all good … i sadly didn’t get to get the Dji care thing cause I been busy and forgot about it but such a fun drone Wow i genuinely liked this video cause of the crashes and even after sanding a little bit on one side to clear the propeller was pretty dope to see it fly again

Bonjour de France Je me suis amusé en regardant ta vidéo sur l Avata 2 que je procède aussi depuis peu avec 2 crashs au même endroit dans une petite montagne et bizarrement avec la même réaction : un éclat de rire en me disant que cette Avata 2 est cool alors qu il était coincé à 300m de moi avec une rivière à contourner et 60 m de dénivelé à grimpé dans un pierrier alors que le soleil commencé à ce coucher ... Quelle expérience... quelles plaisir ... quelles sentiments de voler ... quelle envies de partager ces sensations avec mes proches comme tu l a fais 👌👌👌 Bref , je te comprends alors que je suis à l autre bout du monde et que je suis obligé de traduire ta langue que je ne maîtrise pas 😂 Bons vols 💪💪💪 Yves✌️

This was a great first time user experience video. That thin sure is durable

To get some of those dive looking shots if you turn on head tracking. And do both at the same time it can do it to a point. Tilt your head up points the gimbal up as you are flying. And vice versa, tilting down and trying to do a Dive. couldn’t agree more with the refresh I recommended to everyone who has any DJI products

Excellent video!

KZfaq must be making you some good money to be able to just buy these drones like they are candy!😂1000+ a pop! fun vid!

It took me weeks of practice to get decent with the motion controller. I think that you were trying to fly The Avata 2 like it was in manual mode with a remote controller (he one that looks like a game pad). Early on I crashed into a creek after my goggles glitched out and I ended up getting a new one from DJI. It wasn't very far away and shouldn't have lost signal. Yes, get care refresh!

Wish they made the Avata with removable prop guards. Seems like a unibody design. If there were removable prop guards then you'd just have to replace the one that's broken. no need to trim off compromised part, which might later on affect structural integrity of the drone. Besides these are so expensive. FPV inevitably crash due to the nature of their flight, as opposed to regular mavics. DJI should build them like tanks.

I found doing a simulator first really helped me out before I flew mine. Simulator with a Controller.

I crashed my avata 1 as soon as I got it but it really helped me master flying faster , now I don't wanna slow down

You should put antennas on goggles up you will get better transmission signal.

Hey man, great video! I really enjoyed it. Also... WOW that thing can take a hit and keep on going... I have been reading where people are saying these are weak and not worth it... you crashed a handful of times, and it kept on going. Refresh is nice, I do wish the A2 was more user friendly though. It would be nice if you could have ordered the prop hoops and just swapped them out... if you know what I mean. Plus, what happens when the DJI refresh runs out? Anyway, thanks! I subscribed...

that is a problem with the motion controller that Ive found too, it doesnt have the same vertical punch as the remote which is why i bought the remote. luckily Ive never crashed because of it but Ive come close

I like the 24fps footage!

Maybe put a spike in your banding if you have access to that setting on the controller. It will make the drones response time way quicker to be able to do such maneuvers.

My 11 year old daughter flew my Avata V1 right away with no issues. It's a great platform!

Great video man! Beginner fpv pilot here as well. Been a jet pilot for 30 years and fpv is way harder! Lol!

Nice video mate. 🎉

so cool!!

Shouldn't you use some bumpers?

Thanks for the video Terry. I just ordered one of these and it'll arrive soon. I already own two more drones DJI Phantom 4 Pro and a Mini 3 Pro. It's going to be my first time in FPV mode flight and I see you're prone to probably crash the drone if you're not familiar with its system. My question is: Do you guy's think I should buy any accessories? like a landing gear, some sort of bumber, etc cause I saw it on the internet early today. Is there any simulator so I can practice beforehand? Please give me some advice. (I ordered the fly-more combo with 3 batteries etc etc etc)

Virtual flight was a godsend for me. Saved so many parts lol It's not 1 to 1 but it teaches you fundamentals and balance. Also how to react when you panic😂

Thanks for posting. Good review.

What camera is your friend kofi using?

Loved your style. If you can get used to getting the gimbal to look where you turn your it's a blast. Think VTO airplane not drone. My flight instructor emphasized stay ahead of the airplane. I know where I want to go and can take a look to plan out the next 3 or 4 moves vs. relying on reflex.

how do you get the telemetry graphics to appear on your video?

I have been on the fence about grabbing this one. I know myself and probably would push it right off the bat as well 🤣

you should change to sports mode or manual mode after traning in a sim with a fpv controller. And btw u kan use dji fly app to find the drone in settings.

Need to get those Dobo Rib riders! Once you get use to that normal mode, Next time you fly around your home it will be so much fun with the motion controller. I am loving Manual Mode with that new Avata 2. It flies so much better than the OG Avata! Glad you got this! You are going to just fall in love with that drone!

Watching the unboxing reminded me of opening up apple products. DJI makes truly prosumer grade products. In the meantime, I need to go back to the workshop to solder up the connections to my 4 in 1 Esc board.

So its durable !? thats awesome ,I might have to pick one up

Nice bro

Good video. You just got another subscriber.

Great video! That thing is tough! Is that the same Kofi who filmed for Will Tenny?

I think you graduated! Now its time for the stick controller!

Cool cybertruck btw

great video fam.

when you crashed and you can't visibly find your drone, go to googles menu > safety setting > ESC beeping this will allow your motors to beep and should allow you to find it easily by following where the sound is coming from

🤣🤣🤣 A freakin Tonka Drone . . . ✅

Looks good fun but not sure if I could do it as I had a typhoon h which you could fly fpv with your phone and goggles but every time I did I had to sit down before I fell down 😂😂😂

It started raining hard the day I bought mine. So I went home and did some vacuuming and mopping. I flew it around my house with the motion RC to dry the floors. Once I got better weather I went outside and tried the sticks on manual mode. I was able to hit 60 MPH very easily. With a tailwind I'm sure you can do 80 in manual.

Man, watching this makes me super happy, but also frustrates me. I took my A2 into some twig-branches, and got an ESC error. No scratches on the frame, but I gotta send it back. Who knows how long I'll be without it. Hopefully they see it as an MFG error, and don't strike me with one of my replacements (yes I got the DJI care!)

I thought you could just bail out by pushing the red button before getting it crash right?

It was super entertaining tho. NGL

Subscribed great video for those thinking about buying

you need dji controller 3 if you want do do all this stuff without crashing it my man. Great video !

what i learn is the attitude after the crash bro, if me after that, not even mood to make the video, but in the end, i know why u still smillin, DJI Care Refresh.

It’s a Whole Different Ball Game When you Jump from Traditional Drones to FPV 💪🏽🙌🏽

Terry! You need to get the originaldobo ribbed too keep the drone safe.

Make more drone content brotha! Subbed!

100% I want one .. but I need one that can stay within proximity of wherever I am walking.

24p at the 22 min mark or whatever actually looked/felt good man.. do more 24p... its like the hero shot

Great video. New sub!

“I’m a real FPV pilot!” Ehhhh… *crashes* NOW you’re a real FPV pilot 😂

In the goggles You can use the 30 secondes video before crash. I used it for my avata 2 to find my drone.

New Title...Dji Avata 2: Crash and Endurance test.

im scared to crash mine once . you just showed me it can take a few hits 😂

The classic first time flying inside the house 😂

You know the drone has an alert mode on it to let you know where it is?

Sorry to say. But I think in some cases the stop button comes in handy!

I’m glad you got yours my fuckin fed ex package is “delayed” and they have no idea where it is. BRUHHHHH IM FUCKING PISSED!!!!!

Wait....wait!!!!!! Did you just fly with a small hill in between you and the drone and you still got video and control??? Or is my eyes tricking me?

very nice video my friend 👍

Not gunna lie, I’m shocked it’s still alive after what seemed like sure annihilation! lol

...DJI servers suffered a *DOS attack* with all these "Impact Detected" reports!! 😄

Good video, but yeah I think I will squarely blame the operator for the damage in this case, LOL

I’m still in the attic

Yes another one down

Dude..😢😢

NEED one asap man im obsessed with this drone. DJI is goated

you can fly the avata 2 sim

You know about find my drone?

This is definitely not ideal for a freestyle FPV beginner. To learn freestyle, you're going to have to crash... A LOT. DJI Care Refresh gives you 4 replacements in 2 years, so with the non-removable prop guards, DJI Care Refresh might cover you for 1-2 weeks and after that you need to buy a new drone🤷🏿

get the reg controller,way better for fpv ok,keep up your journey your doing good,but to be a tru fpv piolet you need to build your drone and fly it for to build ,fly,crash,repete.

These things are not about symmetries... They actually do not care that much. The measure their position several hundred time per second and do what ever it takes to balance them self. That is actually all of the drone magic that is even behind 100% percent "manual" controlled FPV drones. They are also stabilized and balanced be the flight controller. So do not care that much about symmetry. Oscillating uneven weight balance on props is bad.

Did DJI send you a stronger unit? 😂 everyone says their Avata 2 easily breaks
