    Potatoe jet does a fantastic job at filling his videos full of information in a very understable way. And make his videos interesting at every point to keep you watching. I'm used to to skipping straight to the action, but watching his videos are actually very interesting and educational if your into these kinds of tech

    2 pointers... 1- swap the props for 3 bladed ones... throttle sits a little higher and is more comfortable. 2- stay away from flying near yourself with this! I'm talking from experience lol... its difficult to disarm in an emergency... it got stuck to my face and made a mess of me

      On the Avata, how do you do that? Thats been my biggest complaint so far also, but i didnt know this.. I do like having that gimbal switch when i use it in Normal and Sport mode, does it only apply to M mode or for all the modes?

    I have 2 Avata’s, one with just the stock body and axis flying motor upgrade and the 2nd one with the full 3.5 axis motor conversion and both fly crazy nice. Be honest they both feel like completely different cine whoops and I can’t even consider them Avata’s anymore. But the 3.5 conversion is much more quiet then the stock even with the motor upgrade but battery drains faster while the other is very nimble but mad fast aswell. 3.5 conversion can pull out of dives with ease. Overall both upgrades are very much better

    I converted mine as soon as the kit came out and haven't regretted it for one second. That's the way DJI should have shipped the Avata in my opinion. I wouldn't be surprised if the "Avata 2" turns out to be very similar to the Axis Flying kit.

Hands down one of my personal favorite videos you've made out of all the years I've been subscribed to you. Heck, I never comment on videos but this one I HAD to give you your flowers for all this effort! I just had 1 question - How does it fly with the motion controller indoors after the upgrade?!? Really curious as I use my Avata for real estate work!

    I have an Avata and I have broken the prop guards once, and broken the downward sensor once.. So I've had to take it apart a few times and it wasn't bad to work on. I think I will probably try converting mine with this kit as well next time I break something on it.
    And yes, I think you should shave haha. I don't think it fits you.

    I have been working with drones for years but I have only recently entered the FPV world. - I have an avata and a Nazgul Evoque 5". I would like to buy a cinelog 25 and a cinelog 35. I like this idea of modifying the avata because it would allow me to mount my gp12 or my OneRS on top of the drone... also eliminating the problem of the lack of power and stability it has. Considering that I want to invest in a new RC radio and increasingly enter the serious FPV world (studying betaflight etc...) I'm not sure However, I'm sure if it makes sense for me to spend money and time to make the Avata a perhaps 'unsuccessful' 3.5"... no longer even salable rather than buying a designed and tested drone like a geprc or betafpv...thanks for the video!!

  • @mxracingunlimitedltd7784
    @mxracingunlimitedltd7784 Місяць тому

    Awesome video! What are the advantages of filming in 24Fps vs 30fps/60fps? Im just curious im new to video editing thats why i asked. I noticed that when i had the camera drones before the fov drones a few years back, they all had a 24fps mode and 30fps mode that was labeled HQ i think. So i used that, but i figured for faster drone shots of mountain diving or say freestyle flying. That you would want the extra fps of using 120fps/100fps? lol idk sometimes it doesnt make sense to me. On a game or sports you want your tv to have a better refresh rate for motion blur, it doesnt work the same when actually filming it? What resolution do you record at on the DJI Avata where im assuming youre not using an additional camera like a GoPro or something?

    I am not a flyer yet, nor had too much of experience with them flying buggers, purchased Avata a few days ago and still waiting for its arrival. I have a question though, could prop guard from stock drone be removed and bigger props then installed? :P
    Edit: ok so I see now where the problem may be, it will need to have different frame ( wider/longer ) to accomodate bigger proprs, that's a bummer :P
    I was also thinking of custom made antenna Yagi Uda style, I have knowledge and means to make them, and isntead of ripping off existing ones from Integra it would be enough to drill two or one hole to let coax pass trough. What would you think?
    5 element yagi would or could have Gain od 8dBd (approx.)

    • @PotatoJet
      @PotatoJet  5 місяців тому +9

      I definitely like the switch more than the double tap but when I tested it, it only disarmed in manual mode. Problem is I often hit the position hold right before crashing to see if it can save my fall, but that also pulls me out of manual mode and my disarms stop working while it flops around everywhere. I think that switch would be incredible if it worked regardless of the mode.

So is Likd $15/month billed monthly after the trial or are they going to automatically for a year after the trial. The literally say nowhere and I read their entire terms page and ran it through chatgpt. If it's annual, it's way devious in the wording and the fact "annual" is listed nowhere. Also, there are dozens if not hundreds of reviews saying the music is not cleared automatically and that it has to be manually submitted and cleared... also that it's not always successful. So??

    3.5 Inch props are more efficient as long as you do not change the rpms like a freestyle acro pilot. Because it is more demanding to ramp that heavier props up.
