I'm very happy with my Avata 2. I've been flying it for 3 months now almost exclusively in manual mode. It has been a great manual/Acro trainer. But it is a hybrid between a regular drone and an FPV drone. Which is a really important distinction, if you want to move up to a bigger true FPV. There are many features that have made learning to fly much easier and safer. But its important to bear those features in mind and practice accordingly so you don't become dependent on them.
It's the truth. I bought Avata 2 myself, very glad with a new drone. But you shouldn't buy fpv remote controller with sticks unless you are so good and professional fpv pilot with a huge experience of previous crashes. The motion controller will limit your chances of sudden and unexpected crashes.
I agree that Avata 2 is best with the motion controller, and sometimes the head tracker. The flight mode that accompanies use of the MC is entirely unique to DJI and lets you explore in very tight places with precision and confidence. I recently did a flight into a giant abandoned sugar mill from the outside, knowing that if I crashed inside that recovery might not be possible (they've sealed off all the lower level entrances over the years). I would never attempt such a flight with regular two stick controller as there'd be a much greater chance of flying sideways or backwards into something. The other interesting thing is that literally almost *anyone* can learn to fly this quad in only a few minutes. Between the original DJI FPV drone, and the Avata 2, I've had at least a dozen non pilots fly them without issue. I give em minimal instruction and just set em loose.
Exactly. My wife is not into tech or flying, but I gave her 2 minutes of explanation, placed the motion controller in her hand, and off she flew 😀 It's a great little drone.
I haven't had the headtracker drift, but if it does, you can just hit pause button twice to re-center. In an earlier firmware version it would glitch sometimes, but they fixed it in the 5/28 update.
@@juhaur Actually thinking back, I do remember it drifting once. My OG headtrackers used to do this if I powered them up with them in hand and they initialized while moving. Remembering that, I've taken to powering up my Goggles 3 while they are resting somewhere stationary, instead of in hand, or on my head.
Good content at the correct length for an interesting UA-cam video😁 Some remaks as well: I have not (yet) experienced the head tracking getting out of sync. Perhaps it’s a calibration issue or environmental issue or maybe a combination? Also once you are actually able to get hold of the FPV controller that’s currently completely sold out you will find that the unique thing with the Avata is the fact that you can PAUSE while in manual mode if you would ever end up in an upset position and get spooked. That would bring the Avata to a hover from any previous position.

I'm also glad you bought the avata 2

@@daemn42 Hi, will test but I think I have the latest version

@@SwedroneAerial Good remarks bro
FPV controller 3 does not work in Manual, however brake does work in Norm and Sport. Dji controller 3 start/stop aka Brake does work in Manual
