This is the kind of review anyone really needs. No (edit: not only ;) ) fancy scenery Shots and blabla, just well executed testing and reviewing from such an experienced guy! I really appreciate this kind of hard work behind the video! Thank you so much, best regars from Germany! - you deserve more views on this!
@@NURKFPV I think you get what I wanna say... :D :D - So let me correct this: you did not travel to wuhulataysia and tried to let only those pretty shots carry your whole review like other channels are doing - you sir, delivered quality and valid information. Or like we Germans say: efficiency :)

😍Wow, I have finally found the video that I was looking for! Unlike other videos that have unwanted content, this one provides an in-depth review of the new Avata 2 and includes all the necessary comparisons. I am extremely grateful to the creator of this video for making it so informative and helpful. Thank you so much for your time and effort!👏✌
Been following you since the early days and gotta say this is one of your best vids to date. It's obvious your passionate about your work and it shows in your vid's, thanks for making this content for all of us.
Have looked into almost everything on the big web about the avata 2, and no one made a video like this. It had everything i was missing. Nice to see a experienced pilot pushing the drone. Thank you
I don't know if my input is worth anything but this review coming from a professional kwad pilot and videographer means a lot because we expect good honest reviews by people like you whether it's a good or bad review depends on it's success and this review sold it for me, thanks for being a trusty form of advice.
@@TheOriginalTXTikifirstly, since ur new to FPV, don’t fly near moving trains, especially these days. Just don’t. Nurk has the preeminent train video which stirred up some controversy back in the day. 😂
So glad to see you looking healthy, I was worried about you a while back.... not that you know me or care what I think, but good to see you looking well!
Amazing that you tested Gyroflow. I know you followed the project from the beginning and it was such a good surprise to see it. Thank you for doing this video! Waiting for the O4 Air unit.
I love your Drone support van. My buddies are currently customizing a Drone Support Van. complete with my Sound System. no computers on board yet, but I may bring it to the table !!! Thanks for your great review !
I just got this drone after getting the DJI Mini 2 SE as a gift. This thing is next level! Thank you so much for posting this. No buyer's remorse here.
I just ordered one, should be here in a week. Have ONLY flown my 2 Mini 3s, and Mini 4 Pro, so this certainly be a FIRST FPV step out on faith! Gonna find some simulation first if I can. Many are surprised that I’m into all this at 68 years old , but what, shall I watch the grass grow or somethin’!? I think not. Thanks for the post, the guys helped my confidence! Thanks!
I throughly enjoyed this video, I think I was having as much fun as you dudes. Really appreciate you putting it all together, definitely the best vid thus far on UA-cam for the Avata 2. You’re a quality content creator, good onya. Absolute pleasure to watch!!!!!!! Thanks 🙏
I know ya guys aren't fans of the motion control. Flying with it and head tracking is just wild. The hand controls is intuitive from too many hours of flying aircraft sims except the drone is so much more capable than a fixed wing It is a great immersive flight experience. It's what I imagined flying was like as a little kid. Just fun.
Damn nurk i really miss your weekly videos! You helped me get into FPV and gave me the know how to do this hobby I've grown to never give up on. Keep flying just stay away from trains
I really appreciate this video, also your personality makes the content really entertaining and fun. I'm feeling inspired to get an avata 2 after watching this. So much to learn and unpack here, really looking forward to Avata 3 video (if it ever comes out!)
Great to see different kind of footage, but some details are missing. Would've loved to see DVR, penetration test (2.4Ghz!), and that GoPro comparison was not flat was it?
Awesome review Nurk, i really enjoyed the mountain diving, great shots and great flying. I'm more of a walksnail Avatar guy but this Avata is really tempting me. Thank you for sharing.
currently working in Virtual Production, but have been looking into getting into drone work for filming, and the Avata 2 was at the top of my list, this video just sealed the deal haha
The video looks smooth and brilliant, can’t fault that video, this is now my new obsession. Darn it I now have to sell my original avata, just so I can afford this one.
I just got one. Still waiting for controller 3 which is a shame annoying comparability issues but it’s just such a good drone. Especially since it comes ready to fly out the box I’m very impressed
One of if not the best reviews on the Avata 2 I've seen yet! We'll done brother, the avata 1 was a pig, going from my 5 inch to that thing was bad. I hope the 2 feels more similar if that's possible. Il find out Thursday 🤘 btw so ur the train guy! 😮 that was badass tho lol.
Welcome to the DJI world Nurk. I bought a Mavic Air for photography in 2019 and I was super happy with it. Decided to build an equivalent and after 3 years of experiments I admitted I couldn't make something a fraction as good. Just wish the Avata 2 was around then. Cheers mate, I like your work. 🦘
@@NURKFPV Yea, I know you’re track record well! I’ve been flying the FPV for years and just recently got a “DJI FPV” for the family to play with, but honestly I love it! A lot of people just miss the point of these drones…
The avata was how it all started for me, unfortunately I have graduated to 5" quads so there is no going back for me. But Im excited to think how many ppl will take the same journey I did with FPV.
That's pretty funny. I started with 5-in quads and I just got one of these for cruising and convenience. I'm kind of done with freestyle. Going to break down my 5-inch quads and build some 8-inch long-rangers.
Pretty dope see tha homie Nurk rockin tha CFmoto gear i used to test units for them best job ever but one of the COs Jason is a good friend of mine ... Small world Vraaappp
I wanna see someone test 3 things about it to know how good it flies 1) juicy flick as smooth as possible 2) yaw spin with snappy rolls 3) how smooth and flowy it can go into and recover from an inverted yaw spin (Old avata seemed to suffer when doing tricks involving precise and simultaneous yaw and roll while trying to stay upside down by only giving short kicks of throttle only when rightside up, so i wanna see how well they improved onto that) I am kinda new to fpv, I can fly but I don't have many quads just tinyhawk freestyle and some toy quads and I used to fly micro helicopters and stuff in the past before quads were cool. I am tryna decide if i should go straight to a 5 inch or will that give me some room to freestyle and have fun while having robust dji features. Quite expensive too and I already got a elrs radio for future quads so it's gotta fly at least %80 as good as tinyhawk 2 freestyle for me to consider it
@NURKFPV Awesome, Nurk!! Looks like you and the crew had lots of fun!! Cool following of the plane too!! Funny how the plane crashed but the Avata 2 kept going LOL Great review, thanks for sharing
We tested the battery 15 min tops. No obstigal avoidance. They still not make them water proof. Hit the water & there fried. Thought they are the new drones and upgraded. Think there gone backwards but good video
Great video, im a DJI Drone addict, I currently have 6 DJI drone’s & just ordered my 7th. The Avata 2 Fly More Combo. I also have a Autel Evo Lite +Premium Bundle, that I got on the 18th & I haven't opened yet. I have the Original DJI FPV Drone & its still a blast. I skipped the Avata 1. I've never flown in acro, but im going to star practicing on a sim. It seems like im missing out. I also have a Eachine Novice 4 RTF FPV Combo, that I've owned since 2022, & still haven't flown.
I thought I was seeing things but near the beginning it looked like you were flying at Falls Park just so strange to see a video on youtube near where I live
Great video! Thanks for making it. I'm looking for a long range fpv platform that creates a great flying immersion and makes you feel like you're flying. What's the fov in the goggles like? Would you say the avata 2 is the best rtf quad that can immerse you into a sense of flying? Or does it feel like you're watching a TV from a distance displaying the fpv feed of a quad you are controlling? The joy stick controller with the head tracking on seems like it may be what those seeking immersion want as it seems to make the view look more like you're flying a plane than a quad, where you look in the direction of flight where with drones and fixed cameras this is not always the case. I hope that made sense and appreciate any feedback and help. Thank you 🙏
I just want you to know I watched the transition effect at 24:14 like five times. lol Thanks for this awesome review. Answered everything I wanted to know. I'm getting all my Avata stuff together for a photoshoot to list it and offset buying the 2.
Two people I always trust to give honest reviews are you and Bardwell. Watched both of your reviews on this product and just ordered my Avata 2 flymore. Thank you for this awesome in-depth review loved it.
Thanks, best review yet. In fact only one where you look in-depth at image quality, so thumbs up. Sadly it all looks like you uploaded it in 10mbit quality :/
Loved this video!!! I am already really into photography and am looking into getting into ariel photography, thinking the Avata 2 might be a good first option...
Thanks for the great video! Any comments or preferences for the DJI FPV Remote Controller 3 vs the DJI RC Motion 3? Also, no mention of obstacle avoidance; is there any?
Are you sure that the goggles 3 work with the air unit 03? I called dji support and they said it doesn’t work. I just got the avata 2 package but I wanted to see if I can get some freestyle drones and use these goggles. Great video by the way, and thanks for the help!
I know there was an issues with the Avata 1 where the drone would divebomb out of nowhere - any reports or personal instances of that happening with the 2? Thanks for the review!
Yeah those battery stats are way off the advertised ones. Still would be good to see a long range test with rth. What are the specs on the goggles screens can we expect 1080p live steam max again when we get our O4 air units?
@@intenzlife ah crap my editor changed my wording. Was supposed to be "will be" according to all the docs I got. When the goggles 2 came out it was within a couple months that the new firmware dropped
Great video, just purchased. Another review said the Googles 3 weren't backwards compatible with O3 air units, hoping they are as the Googles 2 tend to fog up a lot.

Probably the best overview of the Avata 2 I’ve seen. Really awesome to hear an actual FPV pilot’s thoughts on it. Great video man thank you.
was watching an avata video now im here as well xD
The train comment at the beginning got me 🤣

Can't deny that DJI makes some seriously thought out stuff. If I only could use my own controller with the Avata 2, I would buy it in a second.
Best review this far !
Cheers!
are the goggles 3 compatible with o3 , your the first to say that ??
not compatible, hopefully soon dji release firmware to comply with o3

awesome video, really enjoyed the winston and eddie part
I miss the FPV start up also. My daughter loved it!!!
10 bit color was a bonus. I saw Best Buy had them in stock :) snagged on and its charging.
Love your video format brotha keep on doing an amazing work ❤
Everything but dvr from the new goggles or talk more about pass-through. Do the goggles have a GPS so your location is sent off?
Epic review! Oh, look, a train 🥰
what you think about the funky faceplate seal? its not foam . what is it like thin rubber? i feel like it would make me sweat even more
We tested the battery 15 min tops. No obstigal avoidance. They still not make them water proof. Hit the water & there fried. Thought they are the new drones and upgraded. Think there gone backwards but good video
I’m pretty excited to take mine for a spin.
Dude that van is a sweet set up
Looks like a worthy successor to the original Avata, I think DJI missed the boat by not making it sub 250g though!😊
Hi, at 20:46, was the Gopro 12 in "flat"? It looks saturated and different than the flat on my Gopro 11 for example. Thanks!
Glad you made this video.
What a fun video. I think you sold me Nurk. Gonna get the fly more package.
