    What happened to the Avata is what we call physics. The Avata is not made to do those kind of turns right back into "turbulant air" caused by the propellers, it's simply not designed for that. It's like trying to do drift with an SUV and then wonder why it rolled over, it's an extreme example but it's all about physics.

    • @ThomasAndersonFPV
      @ThomasAndersonFPV 27 днів тому

      It's not physics, it's an under prestating UAV. any normal (proper self-build quad) would NOT experience that. The problem is DJI overloaded the drone with the much battery and not enough power. the pids get overloaded compensation it and crash.

    I got to say, I'm glad you upgraded for the avata, it was my first drone and it was both the best and the worst drone I could have started with (as a beginner fpv pilot). It was so damn loud with the stock props, it could still be heard from like 2 fields away and never took off from any type of grass when crahed (same message of motor stalling). But that drone is what lead me to expanding my fpv journey like yours. I did end up doing the axisflying 3.5 modification and there was big improvement but it was only so far you could take that drone. Now rocking a Axisflying Manta 3.6 and it's a beast for it's size. I hope your journey works out for you. Good Luck!

    I used to have the same problem with the avata. In fact I lost my first Avata in a rivier while flying in manual mode. I have to say that you were lucky your didn't crash. My second avata crashed on the highway and bounced to the curb, luckily it didn't have much damage. I was so stressed and ended up upgrading with the axisflying 3.5 KIT. and now It flies perfectly. Maybe you should try that too. It'll be a fun video

    I got to say, your FPV journey has been incredibly inspiring for me, it started out when I got a BetaFPV Cetus Pro about two months ago. I got pretty good at flying and eventually got bored because the drone was so underpowered, and I didn't have the time or money to buy or build a new larger drone since I'm in grade seven. But then I saw your first FPV video in this series, and it encouraged me to keep flying and keep practicing. And now you have gotten a better drone built which has inspired me to also make money and build a drone, I've picked out all the parts and am about to order them. Keep up the amazing work and thank you, for inspiring me to keep flying.

    The Avata 2 is much more stable. That battery design on the first gen is an absolute mess. Horribly top heavy and highly prone to ejection.
    As a complete noob I'm more than happy with my purchase. But I'd be much happier if my goggles 3 and controller 3 worked with other air units. Hopefully that day comes sooner than later. Until then, I can't fully recommend it.

      Nah most pilots toss the dji controller and go for a radiomaster tx16s or boxer

    9:15 and then you want to let some repair your drone every single time? Imo, FPV flying is a hobby, where you need to build your own drone at least the hardware...

    Please, PLEASE do not continue with Crossfire, it's outdated and more expensive than the most popular (and best) option, ExpressLRS
