3:55 Internal memory is a life changer. I had many situations with corrupted memory card on my Avata drone and internal memory saved the day. It was paid project.

Reviewers like yourself deserve so much more praise and respect. I’m not much more than just a beginner, had a dji phantom 3 and loved it. That doesn’t mean I have any idea or true appreciation for these machines abilities. It’s been a few years and I was eager to get back into flying for personal pleasure as well as for work (in a farm field/tree farm every day, and having eyes ahead can help determine safe and unsafe areas). The company has a DJI AGRAS T50 for fertilizer spreading, and it made me want to get back into it, buuuut idk what’s good and what’s not for my level. Your review has brought comfort to the purchase as I’d be classified as a newbie with a fresh start. I always appreciate when creators aren’t afraid to be vocal about what can be changed for the better, and frankly DJI should thank you for the brute honesty. A lot of tool/welding companies actually supply their product for a raw review, and it makes the customers that much more appreciative of the company/creator/customer relationship. Cheers mate, got a follow from this guy! 🤙🏼

I bought the Avata 2 Fly More combo (3 battery) last week… but I’ve never owned a drone of any kind before, so I really am kind of the ideal buyer… and you’re correct. The Motion Controller 3 is so wildly instinctive and easy to use that I was honestly shocked. This thing is a truckload of fun to fly around my neighborhood.

[Alex-ibom]

Thank you for the review. This will be my first drone, I'm an old guy who wants to explore without having to leave my seat. Your video added additional confidence to my purchase.
Much appreciation and kindest regards.

[SkyofDread]

Appreciate the review. I’ve been looking to get into FPV and it seems like a great time to get into it.

[Phrancis]

As an old-school budget analog FPV guy that wanted to eventually get into digital fpv cinewhoops (but never had free time to build em) this improved Avata seems like the perfect choice. I think the lower overall cost, lots of improvements, and what seems like a far quieter flight makes me ready to pull the trigger. I might even like that weird motion controller...

When i first saw your channel i thought: "This guy must have 1-2 mil subs" beacuase of the video quality, and then i look, and see that you have 8 k. Your videos are way better than most people that have 100 - 500 K subs. The internet just have to discover your channel. Keep up the good work!
Btw: What would you prefer: The Aquila 16 or the Whooperfly 16 RTF?

By the way, now you can use new goggles with o3. As well as newer rc with older goggles and vice versa

[hummerzdca]

I just got it, and mainly because it’s compatible with my Mini 4 Pro. Now, since I’ve never flown FPV can use the 4 Pro’s obstacle avoidance whilst I learn the new controls, and get used to goggles! Kind of best of both worlds, and beats risking crashing my new Av-2! Great post!

[StevenDavisPhoto]

I've never flown an FPV drone, only the non-FPV drones. FPV just looks SO fun. I just bought the fly more combo for the Avata 2 just now. So excited :)

[Yoj]

👍 massive PSA to people new to this to fly with a visual observer for safety, and enhanced peripheral awareness. It’s wonderful technology, please keep the community and wildlife safe so we can continue having the liberty we have now!

[itowmyhome]

I truly appreciate the fact that you’re spending your own money just like I have to spend my own money when I purchase these drones, anytime, “they” don’t say up front that they purchased it themselves or the other story of how they were sent this to tested, but it doesn’t influence their review that’s BS and I immediately click away from those clowns, I automatically tag them as a shill for the manufacture, or they are auditioning to be a shill
If corporations cared about their products, you wouldn’t get so many bad reviews that’s why they target these YouTube influencers that will only talk nice about their product. You have earned a subscription from me. I just opened up the box on my Avata 2

[johnlord]

Being in the UK, I normally wait until we see reviews from European based flyers as they will have to fly in CE mode, which significantly limits the range in comparison with FCC mode. Whilst for conventional drones like the Mavic 3 and Mini series this is not an issue, for FPV drones having an adequate signal is key when flying around old buildings and wooded areas due to the potential signal loss. It would be useful when doing reviews to state where the aircraft is being flown and/or the mode it is being flown in.

[bobdude]

I definitely don't like flying the Avata 1 around people because of the sound. Can't wait to hear the 2

[jfwahl]

Hello Brodie. Something you might want to experiment with. Have you heard of the Goggles locking and dropping the signal to the Avata 2. It happened to me and I almost lost it when the drone was only 16m high and 165m away. Some others out there have reported the same experience.

[wearetrackclub]

Nice review, Brodie! Really like how you put this together. Great info 👏

[jamescloud]

After a firmware release today. As we speak actually. It's backwards compatible with the RC2, goggles to, and old FPV controllers. Oh yeah and also the Integra

[tellyourstorymusicbyikson]

Great review & appreciate the neutral/non-sponsored aspect! Having bought the setup myself - I fully agree, the compability factor is surprising and pretty greedy. Rather surprising too considering they have more or less taken everything else they do in regards to marketing and not the least packaging, from Apple -> that do a lot to make sure everything in their eco-system is extremely compatible and intuitive...

[Iamsamuel_.]

I just bought my first drone today. It’s the Avada 2 around the house, crashed it shredded some paperwork with the propellers I like it, but I wish they had a screen with a regular remote control
