DJI AVATA // What the influencers did NOT tell you

Been testing the DJI Avata now for about a month and decided to put a video together on my thoughts about this Drone.

I've been flying the avata, mostly for freestyle, and I find it to be a lot of fun. It's easy to take everywhere and its just a new experience. There is something about throwing around the weight and ripping it that other smaller quads haven't been able to do. The prop guards also make it metal pole proof, which has given me more confidence than a carbon fiber frame. The one major issue with the quad is that the software prevents motor shutoffs in normal or sport mode. I have had many times where I crash and accidently put it into normal mode, causing it to drive itself into the ground until it turns off. I have been flying and building fpv drones before this, so this is not my first fpv drone.

what every video that has reviewed the avata has failed to say is that it is in fact excellent if used how it is intended i.e. slow and low not freestyle or carrying extra load.

I saw a reviewer ignore high wind velocity messages as he took off and proceeded to say it flys badly in windy conditions.


The problem with seasoned pilots is they expected the avata to be an all in one drone which doesn’t actually exist in the diy hobby and that’s why people have 2.5 inch cinewhoops to cinelifters to cover different aspects of their work but somehow expect the avata to freestyle as well as a 5 inch whilst being able to cinewhoop like a shendrone squirt

Nice honest review mate, the yaw tumble still exists with the drone so its still not 100% safe but can be avoided through how you fly the machine. Learning to fly FPV with this one has been an absolute blast the last year, ease of use and battery care were the big selling points for me also. Its nice if someones walking up you can just switch into normal mode, have a chat and give them a quick view inside the goggles before carrying on.

If you're new to FPV, and drones in general, the avata motion 2 is the best drone you can buy. If you're an experienced FPV pilot you probably wouldn't have much use for the avata unless you just like the video quality. It's nice because anyone can experience FPV flight at a manageable speed and relative ease. In sport mode, we actually use one to film ground RC videos and anyone can keep even a fast and darty rc in frame with it. But I also do see the points you make in your video. It really just depends on experience and intended use, like any RC or photography product. Personally I think it felt like flying a plane in FPV with the motion 2 controller.

bought mine 2 days ago. Still doing the virtual flight, crashed it so many times and the set up software is so insane to make it right.
I had to download 2 DJI software to activate the remote controller 2, even with goggles connected it doesn't detected at first time, its very unstable to start .
Ive been told that 20hrs practice in Virtual flight is really needed! I've never flighted an FPV.
Another thing is the goggles battery. I bought fly combo plus 2 batteries but the googles, needs an extra, cause I got only one witch is scarce for the task.

Thank you. Helpful video. Just bought this as a first time fpv drone. And wasn’t too sure with how it flew but you also made a lot of good points and I think it’s actually the perfect fpv for me to be learning on.

Great review mate! new subscriber here, with almost $400 off of black friday deal, now its the perfect time to finally buy the avata🙌🏽 mine will be here tomorrow im so excited! ive been flying the other dji drones on and off since 2014, never ever touch an fpv drone before, wish me luck😅

[jamesarthofer]

Just received my avata. I’m a beginner so I went with something that is supposed to be east setup right? Syncing the controller, drone and goggles seem to be a guessing game. Nothing written is very clear or systematic. Will try again tomorrow 🤨

[bennyjohn]

All those failsafes you talked about you can put on your home built drone pretty easy if you use inav

[Robbo]

Really solid review and super editing. What settings would you recommend for the Avata drone when going for a outside to inside office one-take?

[stpo]

Hey do you think drilling holes in the prop guards would help with that???

[PhillyDroneLife]

Left you a Hugh thumb up. Thx bud

Can you drop a link to the go pro mount you have on your avata in this video? I checked the description but didn't see it.

[Shahzad-Khan]

Excellent content brother! Your gonna pop off, keep it up!

[clicksbyklauss]

So did dji fix the bug where the drone nose dives randomly? I apologize if missed it being mentioned

[jandomingo]

It's loud bcuz there 5 blade propellers and short blades. There's probably better after market props for it. Wow 15mins... just wana use this around the house.

[anonymousrbz]

Do I buy avata? Or not? Help me please

[LingLongshot]

i own a mini 4 pro and a gopro 7 black and i have no idea, why i should put a huge and heavy 150grams gopro on a 400grams drone^^ i would also not put a 500kg roof box on a 1400kg porsche when i go on a racetrack^^

[bluefpv]

you need to be careful with charging the avata lipos still since you can damage the electronics in in if you crash
and they are really expensive

[choppergirl]

here, give me that thing, lets see what i can do with it
