    This was fun to follow along with you Marcus. I’ve never flow an FPV gal. Need to try one day.

      DJI has really improved their camera quality on their FPV drones Ted. You would do wonderful things with the Avata!

      Thank you! It's fun to fly FPV once in a while. 😀

    I was thinking that you were going to try a water landing Marcus. This makes me remember that I haven't had my Avata out for awhile. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Marcus. Nice to see you flying the Avata again! You did great with the motion controller. I think you would do really well using the standard FPV remote and also transition into full acro mode. I transitioned from camera drones to FPV a few years ago and love it.
    I'm envious of the amazing places you have to fly so close to where you live. It's kind of boring here in Virginia. I'd love to fly my Chimera 7 at the Snake River Canyon.

    • @IdahoQuadcopter

    Hi Marcus, just wanted to say great video, I really enjoy watching all your flights.
    I was also experiencing motion dizziness with my Avata until I started using headtracking. It forced me to keep my head level which I guess is why it helped me. And now I really like how easy it is to look down whilst flying and landing.

    • @IdahoQuadcopter
      @IdahoQuadcopter  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I really need to give head tracking a shot. Thank you!

    Having never flown FPV I look forward to someday getting my feet wet. Putting the Ari 2S in FPV mode is cool but definitely not the same as flying an Avata or the DJI potato. Thanks for sharing. Loved the flights.

    @BlairAir 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I was wondering if you had given up on it. You're lots of things, but apparently "quitter" isn't one of them! 😂 Getting back into it, it's just like riding a bike. Virtually, with a blindfold and a sickening feeling of motion! Big Fun!!! Good flight Marcus! 😊

    • @IdahoQuadcopter
      @IdahoQuadcopter  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you John! While I'm really more of a traditional camera drone guy at heart, the Avata is just a barrel of laughs. Much fun here!

  • @Greg_Pittman
    @Greg_Pittman 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Another Great video. I am on the fence with this drone, part of me wants to go for it but the other part is saying I don't need it. Anyway thanks for sharing.

    • @IdahoQuadcopter
      @IdahoQuadcopter  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I hear you Greg! It is a lot of money if it turns out to be something that you don't like.

    Hello Marcus, this is a drone with the sound of a hornet. I think the flight characteristics are good and so is the camera. Thanks for the nice flight show. All the best and many kind regards from Germany 🇩🇪 👌👍🍻

    Hello Marcus,I just ordered the avatar with the regular controller and flymore package.i am so excited.for $1,500 it is not bad.😊

    • @IdahoQuadcopter
      @IdahoQuadcopter  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Enjoy it! The Avata is a ton of fun!

  • @Cozydrone

    Marcus,I think the regular controller would work better than the motion controller .I am old school and gonna fly that way.😊

    • @IdahoQuadcopter
      @IdahoQuadcopter  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I know a lot of people that prefer the stick controller.

  • @WestVirginiasBigred271
    @WestVirginiasBigred271 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Hey Marcus It’s a little hard to get used to the motion controller especially when you’re used to the regular controller. When I ordered my Avata I also ordered the fpv controller as well. I always wanted to fly my regular DJI drones using goggles but DJI only gave us the option of using the motion controllers with the goggles. Not sure why but to me it’s not the same. But when I bought the Avata and ordered the fpv controller I found that when locking the video in horizon mode and using the fpv controller it’s pretty much like what I wanted to do with the mini 3 pro or another camera drone. To me it’s a lot more fun to just fly slower and go between objects that you normally wouldn’t try taking the other drones. And with horizontal lock it almost like having the gimbal. If you don’t have the fpv controller you should definitely get it and try it out for your self.

    • @IdahoQuadcopter
      @IdahoQuadcopter  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you! I need to try horizon lock one of these days too.

  • @RonaldBrown59
    @RonaldBrown59 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Wow, you fly it even less than I do. I flew it last week, and I think only two months had passed since the the last flight. I've never done a intended RTH, it seemed to work well. I never really fly it that far away that I need RTH mode. How did you make it go straight up, and down? Great video, and I can't wait to see you fly it at the canyon, just be careful of the winds out there. Thanks for sharing.

    • @IdahoQuadcopter
      @IdahoQuadcopter  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you Ron! I adjusted the rates on the thumb stick so I could go straght up with it.

    Curious why you don't switch to Imperial measurement on your drones?

    • @IdahoQuadcopter

      Metric is so much easier to use and understand. 👍

    Time for sticks and manual mode like Johnnie now =p. Haven't actually flown my Avata in a couple of months to be honest. I fly my other FPV drones. Great flight considering how much the goggles give you troubles with your eyes.
