      You answered your own question.........😁 As a photog I do the same - do what you do and then let it go......the ones who obsess about their work tend to be insecure about it and it shows in the attitude. His attitude is not over self important, it just is..........and it doesn't hurt to have dry humor either.... LOL

    When this drone came out, the first place I looked was your channel. Realizing you don’t do much with fpv, I cried a lot and then moved on. So glad to see you did get to test this out and give us all the juicy details and showing us how it works! I just got it in the mail and really loving this drone. I’ve already re watched it 3 times because I’m learning something new each time!
    Thanks

    I just got mine yesterday and I've only owned the DJI Mini 3 Pro and this is like night and day compared to it. I am flipping in love with the Avata 2 and it was so much fun within the second battery I was ripping around the Treetops on my property and flying around the house it felt like I was actually flying. I never knew at the age of 50 I was going to enjoy something so much. And I really like the motion controller because it really makes it easy to fly and still do some what fpv moves. I could care less about the backflips or front flips. But the 180 drifts will come in handy. Yeah I am looking forward to flying again tomorrow. Great honest review love your content 11:52

    This is the most fun I ever had flying a drone with this new Avata 2!! I’ve had it for almost 2 weeks now and I’ve only been using the motion controller three and I have been getting the hang of it like I never thought I could fly a drone. Flying through gaps zipping through trees like figure 8 and flying around treetops and zipping down Hiking path. Just this past weekend I followed two ATV racers flying around 100 acres of property and oh my Lord that was the best experience I’ve ever had with videography or even photography. That was an experience. I even crashed, but I didn’t use turtle mode because I wanted to check on thedrone to make sure it wasn’t anything wrong. But all I did was knock off my ND filter and that put it back on and within two minutes back up in here chasing ATV riders. Hands-down, this thing is nothing but the funniest drone you’ll ever fly if you’re a beginner.

Thanks for the review, you described me right away! Flew in the garage first few flights (was paranoid with new control stuff!). I hand launch/land 99% of the time, (don’t like the twist capture thing like many do!) The observer is so overrated, but it’s the USA so that’s the rules. Loving it! Blessings!🇺🇸

We want something we can strap onto our heads and go explore the world around us from a vantage point we don't have where we're standing at that moment. Watching your videos had me in tears. You're hysterical. Also, your footage looks extremely familiar to where we live. Are you by chance in Phoenix, or Scottsdale, AZ? Thx for the video. I'll check out your out your others! Cheers!

    I just got this drone the other day. Never flown FPV ever and its great and it really is a great choice. To double down my wife cannot play xbox she is the person who just cant figure out a first person shooter style game, shes aiming straight up at the sky sort of thing. My daughter has never flown a drone before and they both were able to pick this up and with only mild coaching fly it around. it is really fun.

    Hi, I’ve been doing drone flying since 2013. Phantom Vision what a drone!! I’m still no expert or skilled pilot - family and work often get in the way of practice. However, I’ve always wanted technology to be the best user experience for the ‘average’ person - I think the Avata 2 fits that principle and you demonstrate that really well. How to get good, sorry great footage (sorry real FPV pilots) that brings a FPV feel to the video without the mahoosive amount of hours practicing. I take my hat off to skilled FPV pilots - your footage is sick!
    For now this video captures my sentiments - the Avata 2 does bring a sense of FPV skill to the regular parson. Good job on the video - get to the gym though; at 32 you should be up that hill in a jiffy🙂

    I appreciate your review on the Avata2 coming from a camera drone world. I've always flown Mavics and I have some of the same concerns, but I always thought FPV drones were cool. The Avata 2 lets you fly immediately while you're learning more advanced modes.

    Great video! I like your style. did you ever fly the first Avata? I bought that one a couple months after it came out and have hundreds of hours on the thing, crashed it multiple times and it's still flies like a champ. Originally I just had the Air2 S which is great for photos but the video felt too stationary, the Avata fit my needs perfect. I fly along the beach at Lake Michigan and it really achieves some dynamic footage, it's so easy to use with the joystick. I've let many of my friends try it and a couple of them have bought one because they had so much fun and the videos they've been taking are pretty incredible and they don't even know what they're doing when it comes to filming. bottom line is not only does this thing get great footage, it's a blast to fly, just don't buy one for photos as they're not that great. I'm definitely buying this new one, can't believe they made it cheaper than what the first one was!

    I had been so excited when I grabbed the first Avata. I flew for hours & hours with the RC controller in manual until I was super confident with it. But then, I never quite found work for it in where I could use the FPV drone for. I hadn't realized it's been so long trying to find an excuse to use it, until this Avata 2 dropped. The new drone looks super exciting, but financially I don't think I can justify it for myself if I already couldn't find work specifically for my first one 😢

  • @qwer55555555
    @qwer55555555 8 місяців тому

    in case of crashing, it's always good to check if "Turtle mode" will get it back on its feet. Avata 2 is a fantastic entry point for cinematic FPV. It's not even close to the agility of a "proper fpv" drones, but it's good enough for people to do some crazy shots - just don't do crazy acro, or you will crash. Also Avata 2 though a lot more resilient than MAvic, is a bit brittle + underpowered, so crashing is not recommended ;)
    24fps would introduce a lot o delay, not really a good option for FPV. 30 FPS is fine for what it is.

  • @mikepatton8691
    @mikepatton8691 6 місяців тому

    When you crashed on top of that boulder hill did you try Turtle mode and try to recover your drone that way? Turtle mode will flip the drone over if it crash lands upside down and then take off and RTH.

  • @brandon9689
    @brandon9689 9 місяців тому

    I think the most fair way to look at this drone, is a hybrid of an FPV drone and a mavic style drone. Even though I plan to use manual mode w/ FPV3 I have no doubt theres plenty of fun to be had with the RCM3.
    You lose intelligent flight and obstacle avoidance, but you still have RTH, much more speed, and a single crash isn't usually Game Over. DJI return to home is much safer and more reliable than BetaFlight GPS rescue on full blown FPV'S.
