I am an Avata 2 owner since it came out. It is my first and only DJI drone. I fly analog quads besides this lol. Something that was always driving me nuts when watching other's goggles recordings was seeing 60mpbs link connection. I never got more than 30 mbps. I never realized that the broadcast setting on the goggles was impacting this. My wife likes to watch my flying through my phone real time. I turned off broadcast and immediately see 60 mbps. Range seems to be significantly better now Just thought I'd share in case anyone else was having the same frustration as I was.
@@billwillson5361 I actually always use a cord. It still works even after I turn broadcast mode off so it's all good now. Just ordered a frame and a parts including a dji o3 vtx to do my very first build. Shall be very interesting lol
Most underrated thing about the avata2 that no one seems to mention - the fact you can grab a 1 min shot in one location. Land. Hike somewhere else. your battery hub tops the charge up to 100 again. New spot. Take off and grab another shot. It’s so much fun using this like an ordinary camera. You just wouldn’t really do that on a Lipo based 5inch.
@@fellers1983 how do I do what specifically? My wife loves to hike and we live in New England near the mountains so I hike up with it on my back and look for a clearing still trying to get used to flying in mountains though
Great Video! But I don't understand why everyone underate DJI AVATA 2 when it comes to diving or mountain surfing. It's a very capable drone and can easily dive or serf mountains. I have been caputring some amazing footage with it. The only limitation I felt is the 500 M altitude limit.
That's a serious limitation unfortunately. But yeah in terms of diving capabilities - it's very much possible to use it for diving! Just not very extreme/fast one :)
Tbh I feel like most people just assume it’s the original. Yes it’s not a full custom fpv but for what it’s for it’s amazing. It’s simple and allows people to get into the sport
You said 03 transmission and it’s 04. Here’s a comment from DJI site. O4 video transmission system with two-transmitter, four-receiver, four-antenna design guarantees strong anti-interference performance for uninterrupted control and better stability
Best longterm review for the AVATA 2 on UA-cam! Great job! I’m not into freestyle either. I love your flying style! I love my Avata 2 and you have recharged my love for this drone. Again…A1 video review!
Fantastic Video. Loving my Avata 2. Took mine out today recording on a construction site. It was crazy busy, but the agility of the the avata just makes it easy.
I just bought avata 2 and planning to do a job for indoor house tour. I found its so hard to fly with low light and also the normal mode with fpv rc 3 is way to fast Please make an update for avata 2 for gain and expo for normal or enable beginenr mode for smoother and slower indoor drone control
Great video. I have several drones but most fun is with the Avata 2. Question…. What battery percentage setting do you have when it starts to return to home? Mine is 30%. Keep up the good work! Ron
Thanks for the tips! One thing, you mention here and in your previous Avata 2 vid, that ND filters come in the combo. As far as I can tell, no ND filters are included. Maybe they used to be? Thanks!
Thanks Mike. Interesting that you posted this as I finally grabbed the Avata 2. I am super impressed with ease of getting started, and hope to be ripping full manual in a few weeks. I agree with most of your thoughts, and purchased a controller along with the Motion controller.
The mavic the video go straight to your phone. But avata u need to conect to a pc then transfer files and back to your phone. So that's a down fall. Also no obvious avoidance.
I'm absolutely new to drones and buying this next month. Whats your best advise on how should I learn the manual? Things that I wanna do are very basic and can be done easily with the motion sensor remote but I get what you mean by "full potential" in manual mode, so I wanna experience that aswell.
Based on your comments about the Avata 2 being hard to repair I will not purchase it. Also, the 500 m altitude limit is a showstopper. Furthermore the fact that I bought the Neo, and I already own the goggles Integra and motion controller number two, I will not purchase more DJI products until they make the neo compatible with my existing hardware. In my opinion DJI has made some serious mistakes in the last few months, they need to correct their trajectory. I like your videos, keep up the good work.
The Avata2 is amazing, but it has a huge problem which is the 377 gram takeoff weight. I feel that DJI missed an opportunity to make a 249 gram FPV drone that can be flown nearly anywhere without pilot license or craft registration. The leaks on NEO seem to indicate it is not really an FPV drone either. Flying the Mini4 with Goggles 3 looks underwhelming.
@@TheForge10 That works fine when in the wilderness and no Karens around. But is terrible in urban areas I need to fly and the Karens sic the LEO's on me and questions of legal flight come up - sub 250 grams? I don't think so - report then gets filed with FAA (TC, or other regulatory agencies).
September will be crazy so hope you're ready 👀
So...good chance we will get some new drone reviews soon? 🤫
@@neuromancer692will do my best :)
Not when neo comes out. If neo had 100fps avata would be obsolete for its price
What's in September?

Did you try using a cord instead? And if so did that make any difference?

@@GeoWhizzz I have a backpack specially for the avata 2 I take it when I hike but that bag is heavy lol
@Nunyali5lx how do you do it??

By altitude, you mean altitude from the ground where you take off, right?
@@itsalanmckee right

Gotcha - hope they do an update for the ‘auto’ features that JUST came out on the NEO. That would be a nice Xmas present for the AVATA users.

He’s a good swimmer 😂

Sounds great!
It’s the only FPV drone that I will fly. Great review Mike, thanks for sharing.

Epic long term review of the Avata 2. The b roll shots throughout the entire video was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you my brother, always very kind 🙌
Thanks for the tips! One thing, you mention here and in your previous Avata 2 vid, that ND filters come in the combo. As far as I can tell, no ND filters are included. Maybe they used to be? Thanks!
I wish dji would offer the avata 2 alone deal. They removed that option from their website. Now they only offer large package deals.
YES, I love ❤️ my avata 2 ❤
Thanks Mike. Interesting that you posted this as I finally grabbed the Avata 2. I am super impressed with ease of getting started, and hope to be ripping full manual in a few weeks. I agree with most of your thoughts, and purchased a controller along with the Motion controller.
That's the spirit! Hope you enjoy it at least as much as I do :)
Which drone would you recommend from dive and flying accross ridges?
Isn't it the o4 unit already?. According to the specs it is
The mavic the video go straight to your phone. But avata u need to conect to a pc then transfer files and back to your phone. So that's a down fall. Also no obvious avoidance.
In your goggle view, whats the compass heading arrow thing bottom center? mine doesnt have that!
It’s an EU thing. Outside of the EU DJI don’t turn it on.
I'm absolutely new to drones and buying this next month.
Whats your best advise on how should I learn the manual?
Things that I wanna do are very basic and can be done easily with the motion sensor remote but I get what you mean by "full potential" in manual mode, so I wanna experience that aswell.
definitely start with a sim first. I believe DJI provides a simulator for training
gotcha!
that made me laugh, great longterm review, thanks DS!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Gotcha 😜 I'll be putting out one of these videos in a couple weeks as well
Ahhh I’m seeing an embargo is in process and new toys are coming
Let me know when you post it I’d love to check it out
@@DroneSupremacy will do!
Gotcha 🙌🏻
Good eyes 👀
Can you please share your best rates?
Yeah I’ll share them in a comment tomorrow, i need to check 👍🏼
Good long term review Mike
Much appreciated!

Very nice Mike good Job
Thank you friend 👍🏼

Thanks a lot!
Yeah man 🙏🏼
Gotcha! 😆
You got me lol
Gotcha
Wow. Nice view. I'll go and take a look.❤
Awesome
GOTCHA
You did 👍🏼
I assume the wife, kids and friends all have a drone license
Of course they do
Don't be that guy,bro.
Good heavens, it's the drone police
If they are with a 107 it’s legit.
why does the footage look soft
I don't like the digital sharpening so i tune it down
Is it possible to use this luts with InShot?
The luts work with ANY software that supports .cube files. Not sure about inShot, i'll have to check!
Soon they will band drones like flying over those boats. What if they skinny dipping get a sun tan no cloths.
Hit the water & there fried
doesn't have follow mode. wtfn? every dji model should have it by default.
It’s a cinewhoop. Ment to be flown fpv. As a pilot you are stationary.
That’s why.
Why would DJI waste resources by the joystick controller? No one wants that thang.
Have you tried it? I like old school full control but that damn thing is really fun!
Ya why would they make it easier for kids and newbies to have fun.

Dont.register it. Buy it send it.

You still have to register a light drone that's a myth.
@zira_fluff4105 Get two drones, whip out the lighter one if someone asks questions.
They have the DJI neo for that
Awesome and NEW SUBSCRIBER from Philippines❤❤❤❤
Welcome!!
