I have literally NO experience with FPV but been flying DJI for years since original Mavic and I can say I LOVE THIS DRONE so much. I hate putting it down. Everytime my batteries are empty I watch them charge and cannot wait to fly again. Most fun I've had as a sUAS pilot since I even started. Gonna use this drone to carve a niche in my area with local realtors doing fly through videos
If and when you are ready to try FPV, the Avata 2 would be the way to go. My opinion only. You are already familiar with DJI and how their apps function. The Avata 2 has all the latest safety features, except for obstacle avoidance obviously. Obstacle avoidance would hinder any FPV drone. You could progress at your own pace. And you will always have that bail-out button if things get sketchy. The drone will just stop right where it’s at. And you are in the middle of a flip or something, it will correct itself. It’s like having training wheels.
Bro, thank you for this video! I’ve been excited about this drone for a bit now, ever since the first rumors 😅, and mine should be finally arriving this week. To see your maiden flight and your genuine reactions has got me even more excited now 😂 I’ve been flying the Avata 1 (my first FPV) for the past 4 months now. Month 1 was all motion controller, but since then, practicing M-mode/freestyle with the DJI FPV Controller 2. It’s been a blast and I do really like the Avata 1, however, when it comes to freestyle, it most definitely has its limits, even for very experienced freestyle pilots as can be seen all over the internet. When you talked about this Avata 2 feeling more floaty as compared to the Avata 1 and how the Avata 1 “tanks” (I think that’s how you put it), I had to LOL because I know exactly what you mean about that feeling with the original. If it’s greatly improved in only that one aspect even, that will greatly increase my confidence level of being able to pull off some of the maneuvers I struggle with now, and I can see that hasn’t been the only improvement so your video has got me hype to try it! I’ve got hours and hours of my experience learning manual FPV flights recorded with the Avata 1. Eventually I’ll get some of that edited down and posted, but that’s beside the point. Thanks again for this video and the genuine reaction/thoughts! 😉👍🏼 I do have a quick comment and question if I may? It appears to have been a pretty calm, non-windy day in this video. Was this the case, and if so, have you had the chance to test its capabilities on a windy day? I know that on windy days with the Avata 1, freestyle flying is pretty much a no go. It just gets tossed around too much and can be very hard to predictably maneuver. Anything you can speak of on this matter for the Avata 2 would be appreciated! Keep the videos coming bud, great stuff!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the original Avata. My journey into FPV started with the DJI FPV. I glad you enjoyed the video. I watched so many Avata 2 videos and they seemed so rehearsed. I couldn’t tell if they were being honest or just trying to keep their relationship good with DJI. That’s why I created this video. Yeah, The original Avata and also the DJI FPV flys heavy. The Avata 2 is smoother. Once I popped it in to manual mode I could feel the difference. And this is straight out the box. I made no adjustments. It’s funny you mentioned wind because I had a rough experience this weekend. Cinewhoops and wind are a bad combination. The Avata 2 gets pushed 🙁. UAV forecast app displayed 12 Wind and 33 Gusts 💨. The Avata 2 was sideways.
@@CaptureLifeConnection Yep, I know what you mean about the Avata 2 reviews at the moment. Why I was happy to see yours. I had already ordered anyhow, but it is nice to see and hear some thoughts about it that I can trust to be fully legitimate, so thanks again! 😁 About the wind question,…um, glad you had that experience? 😅 Meaning that you have gotten a chance to test it in windy conditions, not that it was some tough flying 😂🤣 I kinda figured that would be the case, like you said , cinewhoops and wind in general just don’t play well together. Hey, I’m going to have to check out the UAV forecast app you mentioned! That sounds really helpful 😁👍🏼
@@Jlehr1980 I’m going to touch on this subject in an upcoming video. And the UAV forecast app is free and helpful. Once you feel some wind, check the app before taking off.
Nice flight Stevy! Enjoyed hearing your thoughts. The camera is much improved and I’m enjoying the comfort of the googles. No Acro for me yet. Hoping they will make the RC 2 compatible with the Avata 2. Can’t wait to see some more of your flights sir!
Thank you John. I haven’t used the motion controller yet. I didn’t even open the box until I got the regular controller 😆. I’m hearing great things about it though. I might actually try it out. I was flying it again today. A lot! New video coming soon.
Nice video! I got the Avata 2 this week. It's my first fpv drone. I love it! The motion controller is really fun. I can orbit objets by using joystick and slight twist of the wrist. Remote ordered too.
I’m hearing great things about the motion controller. I’m going to have to try it out. DJI is killing it with all the features. I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment. 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the new Avata 2 drone. It seems like DJI has released a very nice upgrade to the first Avata. Great test flight around the sports field, it flew very well. Thanks for sharing Stevey.
It was my pleasure. DJI definitely provided a very nice upgrade to the first Avata. No “seems” about it bro. They knocked this one out the park🏆!!! Thank you for stopping in. I greatly appreciate it 🙏.
So Stevy did you release the spring on the controller or keep as is? All reviews have been positive. I'm gna sell my DJI?FPV to buy the A2. Good Video.
I had it connected to my phone because I didn’t have a memory card in the goggles. I was planning to do a screen-capture of the goggles view. I forgot to do it. I ended up finding an extra memory card in my DJI FPV case so I was able to capture the goggles view during the flight with the second battery. Please feel free to ask any other questions. Take care ✌️😎
@@CaptureLifeConnection That is interesting! I wonder if Kelly turned his on. I kind of like the recording to continue when there's a crash or landing.
@@SunriseWaterMediaSame here. I used to use auto record but I stopped using it for the same reason, I want it to keep recording after I bite the dust or land smoothly 😅
Thanks bro. It was pleasure speaking to you in Florida. And I am honored to have your artwork 🇺🇸. Well, I’ll have it soon. Tony and I will be meeting up soon.
This is the first FPV drone from DJI that doesn’t fly heavy, if that makes any sense. That’s a great improvement for manual mode. I’m glad you enjoyed it. This was a true first impressions video.
*It may be your microphone but it doesn't sound as loud as the first model. Sounds like it is much better to fly than the first version. Although I haven't ventured into the FPV arena.👍*
I’m glad you brought that to my attention. In the past, I used to adjust everything for maximum quality during export. Since I started using my MacBook Pro for editing, I left it on auto. I’m gonna make the proper adjustments moving forward. The next video is almost done. Thank you for the feedback.

1:40 Turn on Auto Record in the settings...
I did, right after the first battery.
@@CaptureLifeConnection Sweet!!!
So Stevy did you release the spring on the controller or keep as is?
All reviews have been positive. I'm gna sell my DJI?FPV to buy the A2. Good Video.
Brother Bob, thanks for stopping in. Yes, I released the spring on my controller. I setup everything before heading out.
Thanks for the support 🙏.
What is the cord coming from the goggles? Thanks!
I had it connected to my phone because I didn’t have a memory card in the goggles. I was planning to do a screen-capture of the goggles view.
I forgot to do it. I ended up finding an extra memory card in my DJI FPV case so I was able to capture the goggles view during the flight with the second battery.

Great review! As always.
Thank you! 🙏
Did you loosen the spring on the left stick, or use it as it came?
I loosen the spring the night before the first flight.
1:33 did you turn off auto record or did it come like that?
Mine came with the auto record off. If I remember correctly, my original Avata came with auto record on.
@@CaptureLifeConnection That is interesting! I wonder if Kelly turned his on. I kind of like the recording to continue when there's a crash or landing.

Awesome review Stevie. Nice place and day to fly. Thanks for sharing brother. 🦅🇺🇸
Thanks bro. It was pleasure speaking to you in Florida. And I am honored to have your artwork 🇺🇸. Well, I’ll have it soon. Tony and I will be meeting up soon.
@@CaptureLifeConnection You’re very welcome my brother. It was great meeting you as well. Congratulations on winning the flag. 🦅🇺🇸
Definitely a different feel from the original Avata. Enjoyed thee video Stevy!
This is the first FPV drone from DJI that doesn’t fly heavy, if that makes any sense. That’s a great improvement for manual mode.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. This was a true first impressions video.
JUST GREAT Stevy.
Thanks JC 🙏. It was great speaking to you at the SFDM. Have a great weekend.
@@CaptureLifeConnection I just got out of the Hospital today. Went in after the SFDMU. My AVATA 2 3btry combo came today also.
Can’t wait to try mine!
You will not be disappointed.
Cool job on this. And you right. Awesome for beginners like me in the FPV scene. 🙏🏼✌️🤘🏻
It has all the DJI safety features and full Acro! Win, win 🏆.
Thanks for stopping in.
#Grateful
Is the camera ok Stevy, I caught the what looked like a nose dive at the end
The camera and drone survived the crash. I got a little ahead of myself with those tricks..😂
I look forward to seeing future videos
Thanks Lawrence, this drone has me amped to fly again. I hope to have more vids soon.
Thanks for that
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I appreciate it 🙏.
Take care ✌️😎
Awesome Flight Bro
Thank you Jamie. I really appreciate your support.
@@CaptureLifeConnection Absolutely 💯
*It may be your microphone but it doesn't sound as loud as the first model. Sounds like it is much better to fly than the first version. Although I haven't ventured into the FPV arena.👍*
Yes, it is very noticeable that the Avata 2 makes less noise. It’s such a welcomed upgrade.
Awesome video 👍🏼 have fun! We all bought the Avata 2 😂
Thank you, and congrats. You will not be disappointed.
Great Video, it was awesome meeting you at SFDM
Thank you, it was awesome meeting you as well. I appreciate you stopping in 🙏🙏🙏.
Great video Steve. Avataaaaaaaa😂👍🏻
Thank you Michael. AVATAAA!! 😎
Nice video brother
Thank you 🙏
Yeeeeah man! Nice isn’t it 👌🏼
It’s awesome. The best flying experience out of all 3 FPV drones from DJI.
@@CaptureLifeConnection Completely agreed. A very awesome floaty, controlled feeling but quite punchy too. That with the quality of the camera = 👌🏼
the 4 k video looked on youtube highly processed like the software try really hard to get better quality
I’m glad you brought that to my attention. In the past, I used to adjust everything for maximum quality during export. Since I started using my MacBook Pro for editing, I left it on auto. I’m gonna make the proper adjustments moving forward. The next video is almost done.
Thank you for the feedback.
Nice Demo partner
Thank you Dray, I really appreciate you stopping in. I wish you all the best out west bro.
Send it Stevy.
I did and looking forward to doing it again. The Avata 2 is smooth. 🏆
It looks fun to fly like actually fun to fly🫡
It is my favorite FPV drone out of the DJI lineup by far. It is fun to fly.
