I have seen over 50 videos on the Avata 2 so far lol now and this is the first one I have heard anyone mention the 2 position switch and the function. That is such an interesting detail how it works. Great video, bud. Extremely informative. 👍
Whether dji mini 4 pro or avata 2 as first drone which would be better? Is avata 2 less than 250g
@@roninr8199 I would say they are both very different drones for different types of fun/flying. The Mini 4 is more geared for slower type video and photos (even though the top speed isn’t too shabby for a smaller drone), where I see the Avata is more for FPV based type flying and the drone is a lot more agile and nimble. Both have a spot in my rc line up for what it’s worth.
@@roninr8199 sorry for the extra comment but the Avata is well over the 250g mark
Hey dude, cool meeting you here. I will be receiving my Avata 2 on Wednesday.
@@droneflyernick what’s up stranger! I just took my first flight and it was awesome! I don’t like the hand controller thingy and am going to get the OG style controller for sure. lol. Are you able to stream from it?
Thank goodness I found your channel. I have just purchased a DJI Avata 2 and am still trying to find my way around it. I have watched loads of videos but so far yours has been the best and most informative. I couldn't even figure out how to power the drone up until you showed me. My maiden flight was an unmitigated disaster as I flew it straight into a tree. So...I am going to find an open space and practice. Once again thanks, it's a brilliant channel, I just wish I had found it sooner 👌
Thanks for making this video. I just bought the Avata 2 and have never owned the Avata. So this is a big help.
My Avata 2 arrived this morning! I reviewed this video while the batteries charge up! Great tutorial, Shawn!
Thanks Don. Looking forward to seeing some of your Avata videos
Shawn, I've seen many instructional videos for my DJI drones over the last four years and your videos for me have always been so the most helpful. Thanks!
Thank you very much. I appreciate that.
Really thorough tutorial - thanks for posting
Thank you!! Great video. Much appreciated.
Wonderfully presented as always buddy, thank you 🙏
What a great video. Thank you
Excellent video
Thank you for the tutorial. I just bought my first FPV drone and this helped a lot!
Thanks so much for this! So many other videos completely gloss over these details, especially the DJI ones.
Really helpful, thanks for making this video.
Thanks, great upload! 👍
Nice guide. Thanks.
Thank you, Shawn! This is so thorough. You've given me a lot of confidence for my first flight!
Thanks, Marcus. Did you buy the new one?
@@AirPhotography Yes, it arrives today! 👍
Great informative video ! Cheers
Nice job as always.
Thanks for showing how to use you are awesome .
YEAP
Best Tutorial.
THANX for Your Time.
Looking forward for Next Vids.

A nice, useful comprehensive start tutorial. I have and fly the Mavic 3 classic and Avata, yet i enjoyed it from the beginning to the end ( avata 2 has just arrived to my place). Thank you.
You guys are going to love the transfer data from the drone via Bluetooth. (Turn on the fly app after the initially setup) Once the fly app is up just turn on the drone. Once the drone is on the DJI fly app will automatically tell you in the small window on the left that it detects the Avata near by and gives you the option to connect.
It’s so sweet. You don’t need the goggles 🥽 or controller. 😊
Very good tutorial Shawn
Thank you, great video, not just for beginners! My Challenge during first flight was the new RC control which for me is not as intuitive as I thought when having a standard RC control in mind. Your video explains where the differences are and how to use the new control in the best way, that helped me a lot. 😊
Самое полезное видео из всех которые я видел. Спасибо тебе добрый человек! Всё четко и понятно! 👍👍👍
I love your videos, they’ve been incredibly helpful! I picked up an Air 3 and an Avata 2 shortly after. I felt the need for speed on my first flight with the Air 3 and didn’t feel like totaling it tree surfing and shooting gaps lol
The Avata 2 is amazing, I was out there doing moves on day 1 that I would not have expected to be able to do until I had a lot more practice! 2 decent crashes and 0 damage, I’m thrilled with this unit!
Also, being able to pair the motion controller 3 + the FPV googles to my Air 3 made for a completely different experience than the standard controller. Landing was super difficult but flying and getting cinematic shots was much easier with the MC3
No chapter markers in description.
An excellent video, easy to follow, concise and detailed, voice is pleasant and easy to listen, no distracting music in the background. As a former teacher, I give you a mark of 10/10! Well done. Ron
Great beginners guide and tutorial on the DJI Avata 2. Thanks for sharing.
I agree 100%. 65yo retiree here. 🇦🇺🦘
I looked at heaps of other “tutorials” but none of them showed what to do after opening the box. This shows exactly what to do (except for which QR code to scan.)
It’s hard for us old folk with this new technology. I bought a DJI Spark years ago and barely flew it before it was obsolete.
I ‘liked’, subscribed and saved so I can watch this over and over (takes a bit to sink in) and get my kids to watch it if I ever let them use it.
Happy flying.👍🪽
Really well done video here! I get mine today and I'm brand new at FPV flying. Been flying all cinematic stuff with DJI drones for 8 years. Can't wait to try this new way of flying for me.
Thank you very much for taking the time to do this video, I'm a newbie I've just bought the avata 2 and I must be honest I was worried about the motion controller before watching your video now I'm not and once it stops raining here in the uk I'll be out there thanks mate
Hi Shawn, hope you are doing well. Grateful for your work! You’re great at your craft, brother. 💛🙏🏽
thanks 🙏
You're welcome!
Have just brought one and waiting for it to arrive, this is the most comprehensive vid I have seen so far, many thanks for uploading, I have also subscribed for more content. One point of interest is that I have flown Rc planes and copters for many years with a traditional controller, I really can’t see why I would want to use the traditional controller over the one you have, it seems much more intuitive and would generally give a much better fpv experience, others may disagree, just my opinion.
I really like the overlayed "H" that represents the takeoff point. However, it would be really useful the location of the drone maybe a "D" could be overlayed on the image from the goggle cams. Would be very useful for locating crashed drones
Great video please do a video with settings of camera and How to make pirouettes with the drone is urgent
Excellent guide as always but I’m gonna pass on DJI this year. I’ve been having too much trouble with geofencing so I actually ordered something called a Potensic Atom drone this morning. No geofencing so you can fly and film anywhere.
Never pulled the trigger on a drone, but after seeing how far they’ve come and how useful being an operator is going to be, I’m very interested in getting into it. This was one of the major things that turned me off from drones. Appreciate this comment, giving perspective.
Great tutorial. Question. Is the battery for the goggles swappable? I have V2 and always have a spare battery with me.
The Goggles 3 are not very comfortable going from thin plastic to hard molded plastic. I did figure out which helps out a lot. The piece of foam in the packaging that is only a temp to protect the lenses I guess? I cut a size that fits the rubber side gaps that offer some actual cushion and used double sided tape to keep each foam piece in place. Made a big difference. Hopefully soon someone will make a more comfortable insert and I can just toss out that thin cheap rubber mess. ❤
Great video! All info and nothing that I didn’t need. Looking forward to your follow up tutorials. One thing though … do you know how to make overnight shipping get here any quicker? Mine arrives tomorrow! Thanks! Keep them coming!
I can relate to that sometime this even overnight shipping just isn’t quick enough
Love your reviews and based on that I ordered my Avata 2. Was wondering if you encountered the same limitation as I noticed with the "Live View" through the Goggles cameras. I noticed that the focus of these is limited to a few meters more than that the picture is blurry. Also I noticed that in 2D mode only the right camera is transmitting and in 3D the left one joins but with a very short focus. There is no issue with the focus of the control menu nor the view transmitted from the Drone. Thank you
Was hoping the camera would be on a gimbal.
I will wait for Avata 3
How’s it feel to use the controller in your left hand with that side dial I would love to get it but I don’t want to if it’s going to be super hard to use it
So joined. It’s got no avoidance so why. This is an amazing bit of kit.
is there a left handed version of the motion controller?
Is there away to change the RTH 30% Battery as its a total pain ! I want to change it to 20% ?
Hi! How many watts are that anker charge that you show in the video? and it charge quick those avata 2 baterry? Thanks!
Is doing a dive eg at a waterfall only possible in manual with the RC?
Great video and appreciate your work! Quick question on hooking up the goggles to your iPhone, can you use USBC to USBC vs the data cable?
I do believe so I don’t have a USB phone to 100% test but yes I do believe you can
@@AirPhotography thank you for the reply. I have confirmed you can use USBC to USBC.
We are having trouble pairing the brand new controller with the goggles 3. We've updated all firmware.
Somebody else mentioned they were having an issue as well. Not quite sure what to say except to contact DJI support and see if they can walk you through.
I’d like to know about the REMOTE ID . Is there one built in? Do I need a phone to use this drone? I’d like to know how Remote ID works with this unit. Do the goggles 3 have all the software to fly built into them without having the need for a phone?
Great video. It may sound silly, but how to format internal storage without connecting the drone to computer!? Thanks😊
If you go into the settings of the goggles, there is an option in there where you can fort mat the memory card for the goggles for the drone and for the internal memory
How do I get the SD card out?! I’ve put one into the goggles, but it’s doesn’t seem to pop out as normal when pressed
I'd have one if they could pair it with the smart controller
After owning 15 DJI drones, the Avata 2 is my first 'FPV'. IMO, the experience I have offers liitle advantage when operating the Avata as almost none of the controls transfer to the FPV. The fisrt flight was great fun but a very steep learning curve.
Can you update the home point ?
Gözlüğe hafıza kartı taktınız drone da hafıza kartı taktınız drone a takmasak olmuyor mu?
how about moving up and down? you didnt demostrate when u went out flying you just went forward
Not sure if you're aware but your volume level frequently change. I find myself having to adjust my levels multiple times while watching your videos.
How do you show the map
Does anyone know if you use the RC2 or do you need to buy the new controller?
Currently, it is not compatible, but apparently that will be coming with firmware
I was going to go for the mini. Now this….. I use the old drone configuration and like it…… I could be converted
How much that cost
I have been having trouble activating the front cameras to see. Do I tap the side that has the LEDs?
double tap the side of the goggles in quick succession
Yes, double tap besides quickly. Or you can double tap the scroll wheel on the motion controller
@@silverfox74 Hello. Do you double tap on the side of the leds or the other side? Thanks
My updated DJI fly app won’t recognize my new Avata 2. I called DJI customer support and was told that many were having my same experience and that they were working to fix it. Anyone else not able to activate your drone ?
Edit : The update to the DJI fly app that was put out on 04/15/24 fixed my issue.
I ran into similar BS with the app. It’s a bug. Go to the DJI website and I found out the drone and everything else did register. This drone made registration of a DJI drone the most annoying ever. I was so pissed till I figured that out.
You can also just register the drone from the website directly. Hope this helps you.
I had my experience, the head track does not work and it the just take off and for flying forward or back… we deactivate the beginners guide and it works now
@@saintkenny9296 Thanks. But I’m not trying to register it with the FAA yet. My app doesn’t recognize the drone to even activate it. It doesn’t even show Avata 2 as a choice of all the drones to choose from. I wouldn’t be able to download videos to my phone either. I know how to operate the app. Have used it many times with my mini 3 pro.
@@ellobo1326 Have you downloaded Android version of APP.
*I just received my Avata 2. I had similar issue with app. I scanned QR code on box and pressed "get" for App. (still showed that device was not recognized.) However when I backed out to QR code link. There was a download for Android phones to update App. App looks different from before and works to activate drone now after download.
Hope this helps, if your still having activation issues with app.
Remote antenna googles 3 ?
They don’t come out. They are cabled in by a screw inside. They work well, so no big deal. 😊
How many feet in the UK can. This climb please
400ft is how high you can go legally
is it possible to fly forward with camera pointing down?
Yes, you can angle the camera at whatever position
@@AirPhotography but how? if drone moves forward and i point camera down the drone will start descending
I agree
I have done this an does not work. I also looked for his down load through dji not ther either.
Do you get an actual charger?
Nope, but everything charges with usb c
No chapters?
Do they make a controllers for Lefty's??
Do you need a license to fly the avata 2?
In Canada because it’s over 250 g indeed you do need your basic certificate and it has to be registered with transport Canada
@@AirPhotography but not in the US right?
One arrives tomorrow, so been watching a lot of videos.
Sadly the live feed looks like horseshit in all the videos, is that the case?
It’s super clear when the signal is good, once you drop out of HD transmission range, It looks pretty terrible. Most of my crashes so far have been due to missing small branches sticking out when the feed gets pixelated. That being said, I’m pretty sure this is the best on the market.
Where are the chapter marks?
The video was pretty pixelated
On the motion controller as a left handed person why the hell is the record button ⏺️ on the left side? They should have placed it below the trigger or even above it. The black button I can use my palm to push it. That one isn’t a big deal.
Dji youtubers
Heres the best drone ever.
Heres the beginners guid.
My long term review.
Why im selling my avata 2.
Watch before you buy. 😆
You can buy the stand alone avata 2 right now. Its pointless because its not backwards compatible yet.
I guess it's only purpose at the moment is for someone who has lost/written off their brand new Avata 2 and didn't have care refresh so can replace the drone without paying hundreds more for accessories they already have from the original purchase such as the goggles and remote.
Excellent video. One thing... The DJI Avata 2 does not film. It videos. Digital Video and film require different skill sets. Having DIFFERENT historical and TECHNOLOGICAL timelines spanning 150 years. 🙂 If you want to educate start by having pride in the gear we use including the correct words that describe what we do. Our tools are Digital Video, Non-linear, and CGI. 🙂 We video, we do not film. In all reality, it is not necessary to state that we video. It's obvious. Respect to you. :-)
It's probably like all most everything else and not have a lefty option. I'm now glad they forced us to write right as children. I'd hate to be a lefty
Shawn you need to update your iPhone…lol 😅I am charging everything now. Thank you for this video it was very helpful and informative in setting up my Avata 2
