Is The DJI Avata 2 REALLY Worth It...?

I almost didn't buy the DJI Avata 2 because of the new goggles v3 and motion controller v3, but after owning it for a few weeks, this is my honest and full review of the Avata 2. Is it worth it?

Having a blast with mine. This is my first experience flying FPV. It's a heck of a lot of fun and will give me even more options when doing cinematics.

Just bought the controller 3 after a week of owning it and it is actually fun to used in manual mode compared to normal and sports mode. Im loving it.

I have the original DJI FPV and bought the Avata 1 because I could use my existing controllers and goggles V2.
I was hoping I could just buy the Avata 2 and do the same, but no.
I’m still looking to buy the Avata 2, I’ll just have to sell my old one.
Oh well. 🤷🏼‍♂️
That’s for posting this.

Why does it say at the store that it compatible with dji control 2 and old goggle

[gottarex]

I have both and find the Avata 2 more composed and easier to fly than the original one. How are you setting up your gain and expo rates?

What filters are you using ? Thanks mate

I fly fpv for several years. I now have the av2. It’s great at what it does. For a grand it’s pretty damn awesome. What has brought the most joy is that anyone can fly this drone. Therefore, it’s allowed my family and friends to give it a try over all my home built racers etc. I think DJI along with this drone has opened the door to the fpv sport now.

Tbh this drone is perfect for what it is. It's a perfect travel fpv drone that is very capable of getting nice and easy fpv footage. Super easy to get in the air nice and quick and has a panic button for peace of mind. Mix this with the mini 4 and the pocket 3 and you have a powerhouse content creation kit with a super small footprint. Cheers.

Worth it if you have lots of extra cash. Not the most practical drone though.

I'm hopeful that this lack of backwards compatibility is just a temporary marketing stunt. Many websites are listing drone only purchases as being available May 1st.

I'm hopeful this hints at some sort of firmware unlock to expand compatibility. But DJI has a famous level of contempt for the hardcore FPV community and their suggestions. So we shall see.

Hey, I fly the Mini 3 & 4 Pro, and ordered an A-2 that should be here next week. Since they made the goggles compatible with the Mini 4 Pro, I wanted the FPV experience but since it all works in CI mode, will try both of them tomorrow what she goes off to work afain.

Hi there, and thank you for the video! To everyone else in this comments section, I think that I may be a bit crazy.

I went from not flying any drones (aside of a few times in the past) to buying all new gear associated with the Mini 4 Pro and the Avata 2!

On first flight with the Mini 4 Pro, I loved it. I recorded beautiful video of the six flights that I took and only used ONE battery (with probably 40% left at the end). Yes the flights were short, but I wanted experience with take off and landing as a focus of my first flights.

Next up, the Avata 2 has arrived with the Goggles 3 and the new Motion Controller. I will need to do my own learning around the drone, and will need to take the FAA test (I’m in the US). But otherwise I’m ready to go. I’m curious about the Goggles 3 and the Motion Controller, neither of which I have used so far, but from all of the videos that I’ve been seeing, they are apparently well liked by all. We will see how it all goes.

Brought, first flight was manual. 😂 7 years of fpv freestyle experience

[jopnow]

is it good doing cinematics or should I get mini 4 pro instead??? thx

[lettochfilms]

Never really wanted an FPV drone as I always figured you could never fly it alone (legally) and therefore flying opportunities would be few and far between. I see you always have Sam with you in your Avata vids. Now waiting for the Mini 5 Pro to come out I think. That's probably going to be my next drone. The sub 250g wait is just too useful not to have it and the camera is getting so good (the Mini 3 Pro is almost good enough). Enjoyed watching the vid though. Thanks.

The zoomed in field of view on the passthrough is done on purpose. DJI does not want people walking around with the goggles and be liable for accidents. For me it allows me to adjust stuff on the drone after putting the goggles on.

[cgbyrobert]

If you speed up the gain on the little thumb joystick you can slide and orbit. That's a lot more useful than the other prefab flips.

[cameraanddroneadventures]

256gb isn't that much of an have a 1tb in my mini 4 pro 😂😂😂

[frankkirk]

You think because of high price it have better programs built in I have what you call turtle 🐢 switch if drops up side down flip switch uprights it's self can carry on but with this one you got long walk

[honda]

I bought one, I don’t have any regrets
