/ @peterlindgren1
been watching for a few years and you have become my favorite content creator. So much inspiration
It's been in my cart for a few days now, I think this seals the deal
I got one the other day and I love mine I am a beginner and I’ve already been able to do some cool things with the motion controller it’s really easy to fly
Been waiting for this video Peter. Amazing as always, cheers from a fellow Swede.
Yess, been waiting for this video.
Love your vids so much, keep up the great work.
It’s a hit. I love mine. I feel like a pro flyer only a handful of flights in. Never flown any drone, FPV anything - just an RC car as a young kid. It’s pretty great at what it does. Worth every penny for the 3 battery fly more kit.
Was the 3 batteries worth the extra 200? I haven’t looked at prices of extra yet
Yes, 100%
I had it for 4 days now. Don t buy it with single battery, it s reccomended you bring it home at 30% to keep the battery life intact and that s just ruthless unless there s more batterys
Enjoyed your Video!
Man Alex is getting so big!!! Happens so dang fast! Great video…..ya I want an Avata lol 😂 too many things I want lol 😂
Love the new one and i cant wait to test it out. hmm isnt that camera the same as the dji mini 4 pro ?
How do you control your target when you are using headset look around? I forget what the function is called but when you look down the camera looks down etc
Good boy David Gu best FPV drone Builder, very skilled pilot and a good friend!
The tippy Tappy unboxing 😂😂😂 oh and you gotta love kids handprints on mirror 😂😂😂
love it - The intro is fire
haha unboxing är 10/10
fick hem min avata i i fredags! riktigt roligt!
Sån jävla ball drönare ändå!
Thank you for showing it flying in manual mode inside the house and how stable it is in manual mode, I have been looking for a demonstration like this since they launched this drone. Flying in manual mode inside the house is unthinkable with version 1, at least for me.
Any problems to use the googles with glasses?
You had to connect the remote to the assistant to activate anything? Or the drone itself? Thanks! Amazing video btw! Cheers!
You can do either one. If you buy the controller first for simulator use you'll need to use Assistant 2 to activate it.
Or if you already have the whole package you can follow activation with the goggles.
Was literally watching your videos on FPV yesterday and started training in the simulator. It’s hard AF. When you mentioned putting 35 hours into the simulator I felt so so so much better about it because I’m gonna probably need at least double that 😅
Hahaha! The good thing is that you don't need to put in that amount of hours with the avata!
@@PeterLindgren1 true but I tried manual mode on the Avata 2 for the first time the other day and struggled so hard. That’s what prompted the simulator 😂 unless I’m missing something, manual mode is just as hard on the avata for me
@@ChristopherOddKeep going with the simulator. It took me more than a couple of hours before I even started to understand very basic flight maneuvers and even then, I was still horrible at it. My muscle memory from flying GPS camera drones worked against me as I kept reverting to control inputs that don’t work the same on an acro mode FPV drone as they do on a regular DJI camera drone. It started to click once I realized that you push the left and right sticks in the same direction to do turns. That felt very unnatural at first. I’ve got about 40 hours into different sims now (mostly LiftOff), and I’m still not amazing, but I’m able to complete some of the easier races in LiftOff and DRL. I haven’t tried full manual with the Avata yet, but plan to this week. Still a little apprehensive about it, but I’m reasonably confident that I’ll be able to do at least basic flight without crashing immediately. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 Lol
@@speeddemon467 this is awesome it hear. Like anything, you gotta put in the time. I’m just surprised at HOW difficult it is.
I’m 200+ on the sim keeps me sharp when i don’t fly
question.. where did you get this Prime light from in the wall?
I live 2 miles from an airport can I use this? Last DJI wouldn’t let me use it
The new controller looks so cool and was the selling point for me when I saw it. I've used similar control systems in virtual reality. Looks fun
Charging as we speak, at morning light its a go!
But il get the hand controller as soon as i can, dont like the stick .. maybe. Got to fly withe it first i guess.
If we're rating it as a beginner drone, how would the cost of the gear compare to other beginner drones?
That unboxing was so satisfying!
was not
No it was not.
it was horrible. Please stop doing that. The ASMR thing is over.
Slicing the plastic on the face of the box is downright insulting. Ugh.
Hell nah
Thinking about getting it
So much fun!
I was starting to get pretty good on a Tinyhawk 3 Freestyle. But one of the batteries popped out in a crash and the other stayed plugged in and fried everything with a short circuit.
It would have been $90 to replace the board but they are constantly out of stock so I'm out $350 and sitting on a dead drone. Really looking forward to DJI care, $50 if you recover the drone or $250 if you don't.
Great review, and for once I have the product before you put out a video about it :D I have flown about an hour now and crashed 3-4 times which is not too bad for a fpv-newbie ;) I can easily see how I can use this for future customer projects. I have already started the padawan training with my 13 year old son so he can use this while I do the "cinematic" stuff with my Mavic 3 Pro *lol*
Btw: let me know if you want to do a thermal inspection of the new house with a Mavic 3T at some point, would love to go back to Sweden and also stock up on godis too ;)
a fully built pavo pico kit is around the same price as this, what would you recommend? same camera, goggles etc, but alot smaller
I have the same question
Hey
You didn't mention that the drone's performance is throttled and limited in Europe. In germany the max speed is 60 Kph for the avata 2 Because of certification of C1.
I used the hack today and i could use the 100% Performance. did you also used it?
Nope! In case I want better performance, I go to a custom FPV 🫡
@@PeterLindgren1 Understandable
vary cool video
Watching you cut and rip the boxes just about gave me a heart attack…I’ll have nightmares of that…hahaha
Im in a Peter Lindgren video again 🎉
Would be nice to try once! 🤩
You should!
Om du jämför Goggles 2 med Goggles 3 , är de stor skillnad på komforten och bilden ? För Goggles 2 sitter dåligt
Ja det skulle jag nog säga!
@PeterLindgren1 The Avata 2 looks to be amazing!!! Even for intermediates, the FPV line of drones bring a lot more action to a creator's arsenal. I'm planning on getting mine soon, one of these would have served me handy like a couple of years ago. But, like most DJI products, for me it just gives me more ideas for shots, and even some themes and stories to tell. Thanks for the review, Sir!!!
Good review
Glad you enjoyed it!
❤ Awesomeness
Well, there goes my money. Thanks Peter!
Damn... you just convinced me . ;)
Unboxing like psychopath 😤
Hi. I know that you live in sweden. I just want to ask where is the best place to buy fpv drones. Cause i live in sweden too and they are ether 200% more expencive that on like getfpv, or there are just not available. (ik it sound kine of creepy but i tried my best)
Droneit, nordFPV, elefun, or similar 👍🏼
@@PeterLindgren1 alright, thank you. Do you have any recommendations? (I have the fatshark goggles and a ELRS Radiomaster Boxer)
Unfortunately I fly O3 and TBS tango 🫡
double tap the right "start / stop" button to take off in manual mode
Ah NICE! I was looking for that lol
Mine cant fly far, cant watch any videos either sending it back after a week. Not to happy with it has to many bugs
Can you bring the goggles as carryon luggage on a plane?
You Have to
Now might be the time for me to get into fpv
It’s absolutely a good timen
is the avata still a good drone to learn fpv?
Fantastic to learn with!
sounds good
I can see the garden is almost finished, 😂
How many square feet is the studio?
50m2
Was this review/demo totally independent or was it sponsored in some way?
Totally independent
2:27 that is not the battery? It has integrated battery though.
Then why does the cables go to that unit?
@@PeterLindgren1 no they don't. Headband goes.
I think I am wrong though :D
There are cables intertwined in the headband 👍🏼
Moahahaha in ur dreams bro. btw what kinda nice recreational herbs r u smoking today sir....
3:03 broskies ancestors came out and took over his accent.
personally I believe that the control do not have enough room to exercise enoutyh range control
🥳👍🏼
Dont forget that speed and throttle of your avata 2 is limited in eu by 1/3. This can be easily unlocked to give your drone proper throttle in manual mode 😉
Do you think thats a big reason it felt so "heavy" to him?
Definitely, avata 2 is so underpowered out of the box in europe..due to limited throttle… the eu rules caused limitation of the drone speed from 27m/s to 19m/s and this was applied by DJI by limiting throttle :( hopefully they will unlock throttle in future updates and limit the speed only, for now you have to use hacks to unlock avata2 full potential in europe.
@player_e7 I heard the hacks don't even work and that it limits itself based on GPS location. I really wanted to get one because im in the US. But I always take my drone to europe as well. This is a deal breaker for me.
@@TexanTemplarthey work :) both hacks works… confirmed! ham file was working with latest dji app when devices were powered up in a specific order, while DT alternate version of dji fly app works fine.. fcc channels & max speed unlocked
@@TexanTemplarthey work :) both of hacks :)
2:57 the whole reason I waited for the googles 3 was vr or pass through and you just proved to me it’s useless
I think you meant to say “I’m not USED to it”
@@PeterLindgren1 tbh I was expecting more, the field of view is tiny, ether way I'm getting it unless the older one will get an upgrade for o4
I would of looked after the boxes. never mind lol
When I opened mine, I did the same thing with the knife. It’s kind of funny.
te n'esen!!!
Your room is a laboratory.
Are your fingers fat or it's just my screen?
Hahaha never heard that before. Who knows, I might have chorizos instead of fingers.
Durability is significantly poorer compared to the original Avata. Good luck replacing the propeller guard; it's nearly impossible. If something breaks, you have no choice but to send it back to DJI, unlike the first version. I truly don't understand DJI's decision on this matter.
I’ve crashed mine 6 times lol. Durability is through the roof!
I own both drones. I had a small crash with the Avata 2 and broke the front propeller guard and the motor arm. The inside of the guard is now empty, making it more fragile. Unfortunately, it's not something you can change yourself. If you don’t have DJI Care, you're better off buying another one. The difference between you and me is that I'm not paid by DJI. ☺️ 2 years I own an avata 1 , I had hundreds of crash, the only thing I changed twice was the camera and the body that hold the battery because the connector that hold the battery broke
I crashed the previous version multiple times too, it broke quicker than this one. Just my experience though!
Doesn’t matter if I’m paid by the brand or not, I always share my honest experience.
The biggest difference between you and me, seems to be that I test the drones more extensively 🤷🏻
@@PeterLindgren1 dont be so sure, i got a replacement 😉anyway , at the end people will see by themself
*Tell me you are a cry baby that crashed his Avata 2 without telling me* 🤡
Take a deep breath and get better before flying.
norwegian?
Svensk 💪🏼
Swedes having American English accents seems unique among Scandinavians? Great video all the same.
Yeah, I’ve been talking English too much lol
är du svensk
Stämmer fint 🫡
If someone has Avate 1, there is no point in changing to Avate 2. Because the difference is not big enough to be worth that much money.
Totally agree!
damn! ind govt wont let import. and here they are way expensive with the duty and taxes. had to cancel my aus order .. crazy vid quality and tech. VR set is outta world
I miss Casey Neistat’s unboxing like how you did.
The way you opened the packaging hurt my feelings
I love that you always insist on the first flight being inside
Hahaha i dont't know why lol!
Is this an ASMR video lol
Not really no
It's like hanging an orangutan a controller.
Stopped watching when he immediately destroyed the box
Why should I keep a piece of cardboard?
@@PeterLindgren1yeah
So disrespectful to the things.
I am not. I just don’t care about the packaging
The anger I feel when these asmr unboxings come on. Can not be quantified. Leave this nonsense to the hearty folks w jumbo coffees.
I enjoy them, therefore i make them.
Really?!? This is the way you are doing unbox? Man, as soon as you started ripping the box I stopped watching, it was so unnecessary, sorry for my ocd but… really…
Yes, it is. The box is getting thrown out either way.
@PeterLindgren1 I thought it was great, you did a great job of showing and not telling!!🔥🔥🔥
