No disrespect but it sounds like you're happier flying "true" FPV, and if that's the case that's fine. Personally, I have no desire to learn every single component of an FPV drone or how to wire it or program things to make it work. So, for myself and probably some others too, I'm fine with these, let's call them "wanna be" FPV DJI drones. I bought the DJI FPV when it came down in price, mostly for the motion controller, I love it. I'm ok flying my Mavics with the sticks, but I'm definitely NOT good enough to do FPV with them ! And granted, I can't fly true FPV with the motion controller, but to me that's ok. I just recently picked up Avata 1 and actually wish I would have waited for the 2. I think DJI had the "wanna be" FPV pilot, like myself, in mind when they came out with the FPV line of drones. That's my 2 cents anyway. Thanks for posting.

you are soo wrong! the motion controller rocks! i love it. precise control and the battery in the controller lasts for hours n hours.

[TroyCityMedia]

I agree with making it compatible with the rc2 and also the different modes like tracking

[SofiaisSunshine]

Waiting for them to make it compatible with my rc 2, then I will buy the kit…

[jimthorleydronefootage]

Agree 100 per cent to make it compatible with my original avata equipment dont need or want another complete set up

[LenMiDrones_photography]

I agree.. I would have been bought the new avata 2 if it comes with the standard remote or even with the DJI-RC2, or RC-2

[RenderEditing]

The top light on the drone is flashing red. I couldn't get it to fly. It gives a battery cell error, I wonder why.

[weirdmark]

OcuSync4, which you will rave about in your next video, is obviously why it’s not compatible with the previous gear.
It’s a FPV cinewhoop drone. Why would you want to fly it with the RC2. It is designed to be flown with goggles.
As far as flight modes, it is a FPV drone. Fly it in manual mode.
FPV goggles don’t hinge.
I do agree that it would be nice to use the app to control functions and the head tracking.
I do like your videos but I think you are stretching on this one.
That’s what I think…respectfully.

Its totalln NON DIY. I crashed mine and the airframe got bent, i thought about replacing it or at least take the propeller guards appart and fix them but its totally non replacable. Unlike on the Avata 1. 😔

Avata 3 will have a gimbal camera for now I will wait for it

[tonywilliams]

I think next to the flymore kit, there should have been an avata 2 ‘advanced’ kit for those of us who aren’t new to fpv. Maybe minus the motion controller and add the standard remote for $50-$100 more? I think adding the motion controller appeals to the masses who don’t fly fpv. The advanced kit, which could be sold in lower numbers, would cater to the fpv enthusiast who wants to unlock manual mode.

Hi Jack, It's great seeing you reviewing the Avata 2, and agree with all the reported problems. If I understand well, the RC FPV 3 works only at 2.4 GHz, not 5.8 GHz, unlike the previous generation. Is this a limitation?

[thedoitalldad]

I want the Avata 2 and I am waiting to see if DJI comes out with a rc remote package vs motion controller package. I hate the idea of spending another $200 for the remote I want.

[sunnyb]

Why not give the option to charge three batteries at the same time !? Instead of one battery at a time

[snackie]

Well said! I agree with your comments. It’s all about profit.

[Djwhynotlove]

I just had my first day with the Avata 2. It was crap trying to fly with the motion controller.

[theaustraliantrotter]

Hello everyone!
Great goggles 3 🔥
Unless there is a problem...
Avata 2 pack purchased in April, 3/4 uses, the goggles no longer charge "headphone battery overheating"
If anyone has ever had this problem...🙄

[brandon]

No amount of traditional camera drone flying could have prepared me for how difficult the first 2 weeks of learning Acro flight actually ended up being.

I think DJI is scared to make an FPV controller package. It would attract droves of buyers who think they are good at flying drones but really have no idea what they're signing up for with manual/acro.

[judeabrigo]

I agree with the smart flight feature, but if they made that available that's going to make their camera drone less appealing. Except for someone who's considering their budget. But yes I hope they make that available in the future it will make the avata a one stop tool

[elvisbest]

Since everyone has an issue with the prop guard then someone should make some type of add on prop guard like a 3-D snap on guard to go over the previous on for more protection
