DJI Avata: From Simulator to Manual Mode Flight | FPV Beginner

The DJI Avata appears to be the perfect FPV drone a Beginner. This is my first flight in Manual Mode with the FPV controller. The Avata also has many safety features for newbies to help prevent a crash. We will review and test out other flying modes as well as take a look at the 4k footage.

Nicely done! Your picked the perfect open area for that 1st manual flight. Off to a great start! 👍👍

I'm going the same way. Training in Liftoff, right now some 7 hours of simulator training. First hours were pure WTF, around 5 hours I somehow got used to how the drone operates, it seemed to happen like a switch clicking, one moment to another the brain adapted to the flight mechanics. Now, after around 7 hours I changed the settings in the Avata to get Manual option. Liftoff is a great tool to learn acro.
You shouldn't give up at the beginning. For a long time it feels almost impossible to ever be able to control the drone like this. Just keep practicing. After a few hours it suddenly works. Then you can continue to sharpen your skills in the simulator, e.g. by following the racing cars and "filming" them while they are drifting.
Then things start getting interesting. 🙂

I consider the Avata as an entrance ticket into Acro FPV. Somehow the driving school. I consider upgrading to a race quad when I feel ready to do so.

Man you did awesome! I’m about to receive mine and probably won’t turn manual for a year lol
I saw the whole video, and I felt like it was me flying it.

Brilliant effort.. Well done... Personally i'm perfectly happy flying this in normal or Sport mode and just cruise around... I'm 74yrs old and don't feel the need to take this to the next step of manual mode and probably destroy it...
The only negative I've found with the Avata is the amount of noise it makes.. Apparently Avata 2 is quieter but not so strong.
Enjoyed your video.. Respect.

Hello, Thank you for good video, Just wonder which simulator you trained on and what controller u were using with simulator ? Thanks

[JeffWhiting]

I just got my Avata a few days ago and have had a blast with the Motion Controller. I have the FPV controller as well, and tried out the DJI simulator, and I had no idea what I was doing. This morning I looked at Liftoff, as I need some serious practice before I push the M button. Even with the Motion Controller, I found the DJI simulator to be sluggish compared to the real drone. Nice work!

I own mini 2, but planning for avata. I think u can use a turtle mode to flip it.

[hankwojo]

I thought you did great! I just bought one, I liked when the info was displayed. It gave me a chance to see what was going on and relate to the info on screen.

I just got my controller2 and may do my first manual flight this weekend. Your location is ideal. The one near me has no trees, just an empty half acre or so. Happy landings!

[wileas]

I just got an an avata and I’m looking at videos before flying it for the first time, this was really cool to see and now I know more abt manual mode!

[DharmaSquad]

That keyframing to zoom out of your own video was sweet!

[mattalford]

It's dives pretty good. It also does rolls ok. It's the yaw snap or other fast turns that cause the avata to wig out.

[fiberplz]

Nice work Chad! I finally ordered a FPV Controller 2 after watching your video. I'll start on the sim, and slowly put that darn motion controller down!

[johndownen]

Thank you for the video! I am a newbie myself and am going to start with Liftoff as well. Well done for your first time!

[NewHeightsAerials]

Awesome first manual-mode flight! After flying the Avata for a year, I am now considering the manual controller. Thanks for the insight!

[VRCommy]

Thanks for this video! This is exactly what I wanted to see - a first flight of someone new to FPV because that’s the position I’d be in if I got the Avata 👌🏼
And very impressive flying! Idk if I’d have the courage to go under the trees like that on a first flight, but it gives me hope that it’s possible! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[mikewazowski]

Ok, I’m now inspired to go on Manual Mode too. Gotta have faith on those safety features on the DJI Avata. They’re very reliable!

[orionmec]

You did awesome for your first flight. I had all kinds of terror reflexes hitting gaps and under trees.

[FlightPattern]

You had me as a subscriber the moment you said, “pray or me.” You got this brother! Now to watch the rest of the video lol.

[twiume]

I think you are doing better than many first time FPV drone pilot, well done 👍✅.
