As an old-school analog FPV flyer, I wanted to finally go digital, but always balked at the price and honestly kinda tired of building and configuring stuff. I guess the new Avata is calling my name. It's not unlike the iPhone iMac vs Android PC debate. At some point you don't mind paying more for good performance and easy user experience, even if you're locked into that brand.
Avata perfectly fine for me. I don’t want to get into FPV that much just casual flying..
Right. DJI costumers rlly like getting robbed lol
@@Jettmain8735 for what he's using it for he's not really getting robbed. he won't have to tinker with anything. and time is money.
@@Jettmain8735 If you are going to try to appear clever change your costume.
What foam/gasket doyou have on your goggles 2, and are they comfy? Trying to figure out which foam to get for mine.
you can glue moosrubber foam bumpers on the avata frame it will help alot as a bumper. Form it wby sanding with seladhesive and you make your own custom bummpeers..
I finally got mine a couple weeks ago, started flying in the garage to get to know the motion controller. First time, surprised I didn’t hit anything at all, (in Beginner Mode) Now been a couple times outdoors around the front of the house. Went out to field, and much better confidence, gradually getting the controls/settings in better touch. Did a few circles around myself, up to high, swoop downs etc. So far so good, not planning to get exotic like you, which is awesome! Flyin like grampa’ will have to do for now! LOL!🇺🇸
Great comparison thank you
The Avata 2 is amazing piece of tech. But it is mostly made for cinematic shots rather than generic/acro FPV.
Can you Tai chi slower with the cinemon whoop ? like stopping and crawling along in slo-mo ?
Got the Avata 2...it's fun and it does good footage, but I'm also going down the route of the FPV hobby, as I'm just waiting to take receipt of the good old Nazgul Evoque f5 v2 with 03 onboard to use my DJI bits with. Looking forward to jumping down the rabbit hole!
Do you have goggles 2 or integra?
I think the Avata is hands down the better choice for a total beginner, without any gear. You get a good drone, with legit support, large user base, that's easy to use with multiple intuitive control systems. Then, you can upgrade to the FPV controller to get more skilled. Once you have the accessories, you can start getting into hobby building. I'm sure O4 units will be around soon, and honestly it's the best transmission system out there. You'll already have quality gear to use with a dedicated O4 unit on future FPV drones.
It takes the guessing game out of picking the right parts, and what controller you should go with, and you get a conplete package that just works, and has future usability going forward. Plus, the Avata gets longer flight time than any kf these other little fpv drones, so more time to learn.
thank you for your video. I think that for a fair comparison, the controller 3 would be needed for this type of video. Have a great day.
Great video. To pull the grommet for the camera back through the hole, tie a short length of 4 pound test fishing line to it and then pull it through the hole. A bit of water based lube helps. The line will come off easily at that point. I had to do this with my CineLog 3.5 on all four grommets due to a major crash. Easy!
I find a small straw or hollow something i stuff the grom into it pull it through and then pull the straw makes it easy to put them on
Great video. I crashed my Avata 2 from a dive and hit a power line at about 23 meters up. It crashed on grass, granted, but not any damage to the prop guards. So I’m actually very impressed with the DJI plastic
You said it right there, crumple zone just like a car so it won't hurt so much when you fly it into yourself or someone else. I fly my mini 4 pro carefully and don't do anything stupid with it and haven't had a serious accident yet (touch wood) The drone itself cost me $2000 with all the bells and whistles and 4 batteries so it's not a cheap thing at all but it is a hole lot of fun
Great video : I like vertical stability of Avata 2 indoors and outdoor
Just got my Avata 2 and its been a blast for a complete novice. Great video, thanks for the insights.
Enjoy it!
Idk if they changed it on the avata 2 but the avata 1 it seems nice it recovers for you sometimes. Sometimes it tries to recover from a light crash where i would just shut off a normal fpv the avata would go into suicide mode and go full speed after the light glace into a tree or the driveway even after that continue to crash into stuff.
"Happiness is homemade" - I like it.
You was flying cinebot25 in acro or angle? 03 in auto settings?
Auto 4k, and angle and acro.
I've had one for a couple of weeks now. Watch out, don't calibrate the gimbal as the calibration process can hang and you will have to re-flash the drone firmware. Regarding the roof inspection section and using the motion controller, you can hover over area of interest and use your micro multi axis stick on the motion controller to adjust your altitude without lateral motion and also when hovering and not touching first stage of throttle trigger, raising your hand up and down will adjust camera gimbal straight up or down which would be ideal for inspecting a roof gutter or underside of the eaves. Also there is a mode switch on the motion controller to more quickly change flight mode. You need to try Sport Mode. I have 40 acres of land and the Avata 2 will rip around the whole acreage at 35 MPH. I think the most compelling positive feature of this drone is the altitude stabilization aspect. It is rock solid in this regard. We need this capability for our custom done builds and various aftermarket offerings. My concerns mirror yours and the price of the batteries makes you feel like you've been ripped off for sure.
Love your vids!
I've chosen the route of the Avata after about a month on a Tinyhawk 3 Freestyle. I crashed and knocked out 1 battery but the other stayed in and I think that caused a short. The stock AIO is back ordered, and I don't feel comfortable risking buying the wrong board elsewhere.
I was getting decent at acro and the majority of my sessions ended with safe landings and not crashing. But I still think I have plenty to learn, and the Avata 2 with care refresh should allow me to focus on flying. By the time I build some skills I'm hoping the hardware will be unlocked and I can think about building an 03/04 quad.
Great post! (Got some water in those gutters) Never flown FPV. But I have been thinking about getting an Avata 2 because I wanted to try FPV w/goggles with my Mini 4 Pro. But the cost to get goggles/controller alone, but for $500 more get the whole Avata 2 FlyMore kit with 3 batteries! Plus I like having blade guards vs open props indoors! Why not? Please help!
I think the Avata 2 would be a good choice for someone wanting to test fpv waters. If you want hardcore fpv racing / freestyle, etc. there are probably better choices, but for casual fun with fpv, it's a blast. It's loads of fun with the motion controller to zip around a big back yard, a small park, etc. or even indoor area, and you have the extras of a dji drone. I don't think you would be disappointed in the least. Get the extra batteries though to save yourself some money. One is not enough.
Appreciating this video so far but the only 3 drones on O4 transmission is Avata 2, Mini 4 Pro and Air 3. The Mavic isn't on it
By the way you can adjust all the speeds of the motion controller in the controller settings.
Hi, I'm new to the channel and FPV.
Love to get a 7 inch.
Not into fpv racing.
Enjoy your channel.
Should I learn to fly acro first before getting these?
You don’t need to but it helps. You can fly both of these in stabilize mode.
Doesn't the Air 3 run OS4 as well?
Yes
Never flew manual or fpv before. Crashed my Avata 2 at least 10 times now.. Many times at 30+ mph. Trees, metal poles and even dove into ground twice. The worst was 35 mph and 15 mph vertical into ground after failing to pull up from S turn. Only had to replace 3 propellers so far. No other damage. I think it's more robust than it looks, and perfect for someone just starting. By the time I learn how to fly properly DJI will probably release O4 standalone.
Wow man you have some good luck. People have done less and things have broke. Regardless you're not using it for what it was designed for.
Thanks for the review, I think what I have read in the net that the Avata 2 with the goggle 3 is the best way to go. Money is now issue so its the old saying ; he who buys cheap buys twice. I think the goggles are everything, and best in market at this time is the DJI goggle 3. I want to do bee flying, speeding around is nice , do that on my BMW, just want to hoover around the garden and trees here and there..
I have the Avata OG and Avata 2. Love the Avata 2. Actually enjoy the motion controller now. Had it doing some quick little races in my apartment and it flies pretty well. The Acro Mode is so much better on the Avata 2 than the OG.
I wish I could just keep a good Goggles set I like and not feel I have to buy another one every time a new version is released.
Great comparison and like your video.
I have the FPV and the Avata 2. Between them two drones i dont need any other. I enjoy the Avata 2 inside or out it fits all my needs.
Coolio! Can confirm, trying to fly the Avata 2 into the wrong window, the closed one, will cause it to drop several metres and break a propellor and a shroud... Managed to superglue the shroud, good as new.
Gracias ! , ojalá pueda comprar alguno de los dos …, pero lamentablemente en mi país argentina , es imposible afrontar ese gasto … 😔 gracias por tus videos ! , seguiré volando el dji Phantom visión 2 …😢
Great video, I have an Air 3 and the Avata 2. completely agree on the build quality on the Avata 2 which is the worse part! wanting a 5" FPV for extra power in ACRO but now i'm stuck with O4 (goggles & Controller) it's a £1,000 bump as i'll need to purchase another O3 setup (Goggles, Controller) and drone to consider any other drone :(.... unles they release a FPV 2 with O4!!
It would be strange that no O4 VTX comes out at some point
The avata 2 is not as fragile as you may think. I smacked it into my wooden fence this morning before it came to a stop and it made a loud thwap and bounced off like 6' before it smashed into my yard. Left a nice scuff in it but took it like a champ!
Thank you for that! The more I fly mine dare I say… I’m falling in love with it.
As of today, 4K 100fps with the update and your backwards compatibility
What kind of backwards compatibility?
will buy avata if they support 03 system
Can I buy one of your goggles that you use the least? heheheh! Digital goggles are hard to come by on where I am.
Sorry I don’t have digital goggle spares except for Walksnail. 😊
Bro the cinebot lost prop leaves. And it still flies 😂
To me the Avata is super cool but does not fit any need I have. I need sub 250 drones for flying around people for events. That is the only reason I got into FPV. The Avata is no where near this so no matter how cool it is, it does nothing for me. I actually broke my GEPRC prop guard last week. Lots of crashes lots of awkward indoor crashes, a Big roof bounce off my house, big bounce off concrete all as I was learning. Crashes so hard I blew the rubbers off the camera mount. But the thing that got it was attempting some flips in the yard and crashing in the grass. Luckily when I ordered my Cinebot. I ordered an entire spare frame. So I have every single part to replace. They also sent me a spare prop guard. I am going to try to super glue and baking soda back together to milk a little more life. But I proved to myself I am not really ready to flip. Or maybe I need to go in a big field and have way more altitude to recover. I do feel like the boat style build of the Cinebot25 is pretty robust. But it is a bit on the heavy side because of this. I need a 550 batt to get sub 250. I really do like how the Cinebot flys. It is much different from my Pavo20. I think the biggest difference is betaflight 4.4 vs 4.5. 4.5 is much more tunable for angle mode. I can make the Cinebot drive like it is on ice vs the pavo20 on the lowest settings is still on rails and very very responsive. It has definitely taken some tuning to get the feel I want.
Yes would buy avata 2 and new goggles if they work with all my 03 and vista!!!. No buy until they make new firmware,!!!
Same
It's the new air 3 that has ocusync 4 not the mavic 3
I guess Mavic 4 is coming soon then?
I would love to get one of those googles you have that you don't use hahahaha 😇🤣 just saying though 😜
I don't understand why you think the Avata 2 is so fragile. Mine seems strong as hell. I've looked around and haven't seen a whole lot of people complaining that it is fragile.
You’re not on the right forums.
I’ve seen many many photos of broken prop guards from guys I know and others.
@@dronecamps I need to dig deeper! I was hoping this would be one I didn't need DJI Care for. Oops.
Avata 2 is made for content creators that have zero fpv skills. Anyone withing a hour could do as you have in this video and that’s what appeals to most. Will it ever be as good as a highly skilled fpv pilot NOPE but will it get footage most ppl are after yes it will
I agree. ☝🏻
What about an Avata 2 in the hands of a highly skilled fpv pilot?
Best of both worlds then, no?
I got one. Get one. Noob FPV'er I am. Great tool for flights around the farm. No fuss, no muss.
don't crash and don't break it.. each DJI manufactured/plastic drone I've owned has been a money pit.. I don't like the idea of having a monthly dji bill or paying 2-3 times the value of a drone in yearly repairs, and you will if you're a moderate to daily flyer...and good luck fixing it on your own! It should be kind of expected given its flying capabilities and its' structural integrity.. You wouldn't want to fly in a plane or ride a submarine made of plastic now would you? and if so, you can expect a ton of maintenance. So Odd considering how intricate carbon fiber is to other drone companies. DJi really is about low cost vs high profits. They've got the "look" down though! Very stylish for what it is.
For sure!
god can do anything, even fix chinese electronics.
