Your channel is responsible for my temporary poverty (in a good way, but not if you ask my wife). I got the Neo fly more, then the Neo Motion kit (addicted to this little drone) and now you have convinced me I need an Avata and most of the little FPV cine drones.........(puts on lottery and crosses fingers)
I'll have mine, the full 3-battery kit, in a week or two. Can't wait! You probably could have mentioned DJI's "Care Express" insurance options, I always get the 2-year, 4-replacement coverage (my Avata 1 has that still). This particular product, like its predecessor, is among the LEAST expensive DJI drones to replace if you happen to damage it, or camera system, or battery (compared to the Air series ... very inexpensive!) ... anyhow, thank you for your insightful Avata 2 features presentation here Steve.... happy flying!
10:55 quick tip, you can actually make the drone look side to side with the motion controller by pressing lightly on the throttle, just enough that the circle shows up on the goggle. There is actually two steps when pressing down on the throttle, 1st is to let the pilot view 360 degrees, and the 2nd one when you actually press the throttle down to the max then the drone will fly to the indicated direction. I'm glad i found your video, I just bought my avata 2 a week ago... still learning 😊
Another great video Steve! I'm enjoying the Avata 2! It definitely has capabilities that regular FPV drones can't do. Ok , not impossible but very difficult to do. A simple example is if you need it to hover and video something. Kinda like your mini 4 pro was orbiting you during your video. That is another great drone! DJI is really pushing out great products! Thanks Steve ! Looking forward to your next videos on the Avata 2!
Great video thank you! I LOVE my Avata 2! I normally fly with the RC3 in manual mode but actually I always take out my motion controller when I go out as sometimes its just nice to have a chilled flight!
Best beginners guide I've seen. Answered all the questions I still had after watching many other 'beginners guides'. Well done and keep up the good work.
One of the best videos for beginners i have seen of all of them , explained very very well... I'm just about to purchase one of these and I'm so pleased I watched yours , I have sent you a separate question.. thank you so much ... 👍👍👍❤
Most advanced simple to fly ever made .. i recall the video earlier when you mentioned that this one going to be your choice to buy .. Super fun, that’s why 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for another video that is spot with all the info you need and none of the unnecessary fluff. I am a cameraman and 107 pilot that is looking to try fpv. I have stayed away from DJI for many years because of the painful process of unlocking the geofencing in order to fly. Since the Avata 2 is mainly for fpv, does it have the same unlocking issues? Has DJI streamlined the unlocking process? This may be something you could include if you do an Avata 2 follow up video. Thanks again for the great content.
You think of everything Captain Drone. I was literally just typing out a question which you anwered at 27:00. If your stick is loose, do N/S modes work like angle mode on a regular quad? You have full throttle management and it will bounce off the ground if you don't manage it? Or does it just raise and lower like a normal gimbal drone?
Also I read the Goggles 3 manual and found it supports 2D and 3D movies with USB-C for audio. They are fantastic. 65W USB-C or above works great for charging.
Thank you so much for sharing and explaining all the features of Avata 2. I just got my Avata 2 last week but unfortunately have not flown it much because of the weather conditions in where I live. But after watching your video, I'm gonna practice indoors for now. Thanks to you! 🙂
Thanks for the video. I’ve been watching videos for two or three days since I bought mine. It’s the first drone I have ever owned. I really like it a lot, but this is the only video that went through everything and answered every question that I had I appreciate it and I hope you make more videos about it. I’ll be looking forward to it. Thanks.
Great video, very informative. I just got the fly more combo and just ordered the controller 3. I'm use to shooting tight gaps with my Meteor75 so flying this will be interesting
Cleaning the lens.... How delicate/tough is the camera structure? Like what kind of pressure/movement would break it? Like can I pinch it strongly with left fingers and wipe it with right hand? Heard stories of how people broke it doing such? Appreciate any advice!
I just got mine a few days ago. I'm curious about the "beginner mode" rates compared to the rates you set in the video for flying indoors. There does not seem to be a way to check them without taking it out of beginner mode, which I'm not ready to do. But whatever they are, it is very easy to fly around my very small home-office without getting into trouble. I've been flying a Cetus Pro (only in Normal mode) for about six weeks so maybe that helped, otherwise I'm very much a beginner. great video btw.
Purchased my Avata 2 10AM the day it came out and have 30 flights on it already (over 4 hours) and I love the updates. Great addition to my fleet: Mavic 3, Air 2S, Mini 3 Pro, 2 Avatas and now the 2). Love the Motion 3 but will get the Sticks eventually! Thanks for sharing. Like #1K
If doing a real estate video, also make sure no light objects or papers etc on tables, also do a nice clean/tidy up first as dust/fur will fly everywhere, so maybe do a few test runs before the real deal!
Nice video. I bought an Air 3 and it also does not come with a charger. And I also discovered it slowly charges when using inexpensive chargers. It took over 12 hours to charge three batteries. It was something that other demo channels did not point out. Overall, it is not big deal, mostly annoying to find out after the fact.
Man oh man! What a lot of information! I just got Avata 2 this week, haven’t unboxed yet until I can sit and watch more to help me get started. Flying my Mini 3 and Mini 4 Pro have been a lot, and looking forward to trying the goggles/motion controller with it first before the Avata 2 around the house. (Been too windy out anyway) Spoiled with the obstacles avoidance of the 4 Pro I guess. Thanks for the posts!🇺🇸
Thanks Steve. I feel its an upgrade from the A1. Hopefully, they make backwards compatibility with the Integra and the other FPV remote. If not I will most likely sell the Avata and get it anyway.
I have a quick question... Does your Avata 2 video split into another clip after 3:30 mark or so? I shoot in 4K 60 and was told that it may be why this happens. Your thoughts?
All DJI Drones create multiple clips if you exceed 3 to 5 min of video. It has been that way since 2013. The reason is because if you crash and the video is corrupted, you only lose the last 3 to 5 min of your flight video.
Wow! What a great full coverage video! Qn: if I have everything powered on and I want to switch to RC3, can I just turn off motion, then power up RC3? Or do I need to power cycle everything?
Is there no crash / obstacle avoidance on the Avata 2 at all? I am looking at this for a 1st drone bc it looks simple but assume without obstacle avoidance I'd crash and render it useless in no time as a newbie. How durable is this thing to handle crashes without repair?
It is an FPV drone designed for beginners. All DJI drones are designed for beginners but their FPV class of beginner drones are built to handle newbies crashing them into the ground at all speeds, so you’ll be fine.
The AVATA2 comes with the MOTION3 so that is what beginners will use. If a person was previously flying a DJI MINI or DJI MAVIC then they would prefer the REMOTE 3.
Will it go into auto RTH when whipping around in manual, I tend to lose track of time and forget to monitor the battery at times, mostly I only got 5 to 6 min max on their FPV model and was lucky once when it came back overland as opposed the water when it suddenly did a forced landing on me, so just wondering if this one calculates it a bit better for auto RTH from manual to actually complete the RTH when your battery gets low. Anyway this bundle seemed good to me for the price especially as goggles are much smaller, not tried it yet but your video was a lot of help at least I found out how to start it if I use that motion stick thing , before I thought twisting it was for pan/rudder maybe and tilting it would be like ailerons and to do spins, although I think I will use the regular stick remote when it comes never used that motion stick thing even on their first FPV.
Yes, RTH still works in MANUAL MODE because DJI designed this drone for beginners and will not allow you to turn off the GPS. So this is a good thing if you stop paying attention to the remaining battery voltage.
Yo Captain Drone! You can use the dot with the motion controller to access and manipulate menu controls. That little bit of play in the trigger before you feel tension is how you select. Then just aim the dot off the menu and select again and the menu disappears… so like when you were selecting head tracking, you do it with the motion controller so you don’t have the aircraft spinning around
Awesome tutorial.. Steve!! Hopefully DJI will include Head Tracking with the remote 3.. that would be an Awesome way to do indoor real estate touring.. 👍
if it's upside down try turtle mode in the menu. If it's sitting up try restart on the motors. If none of that works then you have to do what is known as "The walk of shame!" and go get it. lol
Steve, great and informative info especially for beginners .. However, you did emphasize the ease for beginners and how quickly they could be doing real estate ... You probably know what i am going to say.. They can not do real estate until they are FAA 107 certified.. I hope you point this out in a future video... Otherwise a lot of people might think they can start a side business and they cannot... I am not a negative person but you did repeat the real estate angle many times and for the safety of those involved I wanted to drop you a note.. If I could have done so in private, i would have... Keep up the good work... Joe
Hi there new drone guy here, I recently bought both a Cletus X and avata 2, I thought that I would learn proper fpv and also have the avata so I enjoy flying while I learn proper fpv. Wonder if you suggest me to learn fpv on the Cletus or should I try sticking with the avata and return the Cletus? I want to get the physical reflexes and not sure if the avata is going to spoil me, WDYT?
The Avata 2 has both NORMAL and SPORT Modes which are BEGINNER Flight modes. Those modes do not exist in the real FPV hobby. Nor does that silly motion controller. Depending on which CETUS you purchased, you may be stuck with BEGINNER Flight modes as well.
DJI is just giving more options for more pep to come get there stuff. If they can get everyone to try it the more sells they make. When I go to flying events it's the motion controller I teach to non drone flyers. They all love it. I teach the reg controller to anyone looking harder. I've only taught my Grand daughter the reg controller.
@CAPTAINDRONE798 I feel like dji is trying push their motion remote. You now don't get a choice. Your dji will come with the motion remote and if you want a "normal" remote you are stuck paying extra for one. Thanks for all your reviews as always!
Hi I have been following you since the dj Spark days. I really enjoy your content. I actually have a spark and and a dji mini 3. I also have my basic licence. i notice you fly in the Ottawa area ( millenial park). Can you recommend other places to fly with a basic licence in the Ottawa area? Thanks
You can fly any under 250 gram where you wish as long as you don’t annoy people, planes and moving cars. You’ll notice that if I fly a drone, there are rarely people around unless they are people I know.
Just got the Remote Controller 3, haven’t tried it yet, not in a rush cuz having plenty of fun with motion controller for now. Great tips though! Wow! Still would like to screen capture like I can on the Mini 4 Pro. Any ideas? Post?
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks for the info. I am sure the old DJI spark did, saying that it might have been my first drone the husban . Thanks for you videos love them.
Hi I use the dji fpv for fast Landscape videos and wanted the avata 2 for some fast cruising in woods and were there obstacles but I would hate to go hiking and carrying the v2 googles and remote controller 2 do you think the googles 3 and remote controller 3 will ever be backwards compatible with the dji fpv???
I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max but the avata 2 cable dosnt fit. I had to plug into my iPad Pro to do the updates and setup. Is there an adapter for my phone cable to work on my iPhone and is this a problem when I go out flying?
People with the old APPLE phones that use the lighting connector (I was one of them), would simply use the cable that came with the phone or any cheap lighting cable they bought off AMAZON.
Hey, great video thank you one question I had because I did speak to DJI about this as well in the new goggles. Are you also seeing it as a rectangular square? I’m guessing there is no way to put this in fullscreen or at least get to edge. I thought this was gonna be more immersive, but all I’m seeing in the goggles is a small rectangular image I guess, probably to avoid lag issues. I did set the field to 100% just wondering if there is any option for more of a full screen
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I actually mean the feed from the drone inside the goggles I was expecting at least something close to full screen, but I’m getting about 80% of my fov. It’s still good, but it would be great to have a larger fov but I’m pretty sure they kept it like this just to reduce any lag
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 so what do you see in the goggles? Do you see a rectangular image of the view? Do you see black on top and bottom left and right? I did send it to 16 x 9 but I still see that. It’s a rectangular square surrounded by black.
@@GEOFFYCOLLECTIONMy entire rectangular image fills the screen. It sounds like you have just adjusted your viewing settings all wrong. Or… did you mistakenly put the prescription minus lenses on?
When flying indoor can't you just enable the beginner mode? The mode thats enabled out of the box for first flight. That way you dont need to do any changes in normal mode meny?
Hey love the vid, i wanna get a fpv drone but im tied between the avata 2 and the dji fpv. I really like all the freestyle i see with 5 inch quads but thats too much work for me currently id rather have a dji because of all the features and like safetys and stuff. I wanna be able to do acro like the true fpv drones which do you think is better for like just stuaghr acro ajd freestyle and flips iver stuff and things like that
you mentioned you have to activate it with the USB to USB cable and mobile , but my iphone is Lightning cable . does it come with a USB to lightning ??? or can I activate it through Wi-Fi . thanks 🙏
Lots of people are in your situation and they all figured it out. Use your own cable. You will figure it out quickly. DJI does not include the lighting cable.
Love your work. Thinking about this. FLYDrone Drone Airdrop System for DJI Avata 2, Drop Release for DJI Avata 2, Transport Release Accessories, Do you have any comments. TIA
hi, i see you wear glasses, i have quite a high prescription so i probably would have to wear my glasses throughout flight, what are the goggles like whilst wearing glasses, thanks for a really informative video
Question is one battery enough? For a 13 yr old spending a 1000 dollars on a drone already a lot i was just wondering if i could save a couple bucks there
Hey, I really want the DJI Avata 2 but the only problem is that I don’t have the budget to buy the combo with 3 batteries and the controller 3. Do you think that it’s a good idea to buy the combo with 1 battery and slowly buying batteries and the DJI controller 3 ? Thank you for your reviews ❤
Not really. RC planes can be flown with only the right joystick and very little skill. Flying a drone in ACRO mode means you need two hands and synchronize coordination.
Thank you ……. I have many years flying R/C planes and Mavic drones. I bought the Avata 2 along with the remote controller 3. This will be my first FPV done… do you recommend starting with the R/C motion controller or the remote controller 3 ? I’ll be flying in normal and sports mode until I get comfortable before switching to manual mode.
what's the optimal charging voltage/amperage, i have a 65w charger from my phone that does 5-11v at 7.3A, or should i get something that uses the PD standard?
CAPTAIN DRONE, i beg you review the budget rc airplane Wltoys f949! My son's birthday is in 2 months, and i'm interested in buying this. Lots of respect for your videos!😁
Does anyone have the settings for indoor flying with the stick controller? I seen how the motion controller got dialed in but I am wanting to slow the stick controller. Ty
Lol... My question was going to be "Do you have any videos showing the stick moves for the flips and drifts?" BUT I guess that's coming! Cool! I have the Avata 2 and tried it out the Remote 3 today, I need to find an open and empty space to get use to the Motion Controller though.
A dumb question but anybody can answer it. Do you have to connect your cell phone to it every time because my cell phone charging port is screwed up and I can only charge it wirelessly but I do have other devices. I can hook up to it if it’s just needing to add firmware or whatever.
It depends on where you live in the world. I believe for people in the USA you have to connect your phone for remote I’d purposes (I’m not sure if for such a purpose you can connect via Bluetooth vice using the port). I live in Canada and we currently have no remote ID requirements.
I need help on the ole lenses and which ones I require for my eyes. My prescription is SPH -0.5 CYL -1.5 axis 100 for both eyes any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Do the ones that come with my fly more kit meet my requirements or will I need prescription lenses?
Sorry, I’m not knowledgeable on eye sight prescriptions. All I can say is the goggles would probably be fine as additional minus prescription adapters are included.
I can't wait to get this drone. I've been practicing hard on my Analog Tinyhawk freestyle. Around 6-12 packs a day. Unless I'm trying something crazy, I usually don't crash anymore. If I'm gonna burn one of my DJI care refreshes, I want it to be for something good 😂
I’ve watched like 100 Avata 2 videos on TH-cam. Yours is the most informative and detailed I’ve seen. Thanks
Wow, thanks!
Your channel is responsible for my temporary poverty (in a good way, but not if you ask my wife).

Thank you. Was getting frustrated with the slow charging as I want to fly all day. I'm out in the country and this Avata 2 is Heaven. Thank you again.
What USB charger did you get to speed up charging. I don't see a link to the USB charger Steve was using...

How do you adjust the gimbal angle with the Motion 3 so there more gorund in the view and less sky? Thanks for the vids.
The dial on the motion controller adjusts the gimbal

Steve, would the head tracking feature be more useful as a directional input Vs just looking around and going straight where you aren't looking????
Unfortunately no. The drone does not fly where you look.

Beginner mode settings are a bit different
Very good video, very useful. Can you use the RC2 with the Avata2 or do you have to buy the controller 3?
DJI wants you to buy the Remote Controller 3, so they made certain to not make the Remote Controller 3 compatible…. At this time.
Awesome tutorial.. Steve!! Hopefully DJI will include Head Tracking with the remote 3.. that would be an Awesome way to do indoor real estate touring.. 👍
hello Mr. Captain Drone.
thanx 4 the great review of avata 2. really useful. just want to ask, what is it there to recover u avata 2 from a fall.

Hi there new drone guy here, I recently bought both a Cletus X and avata 2, I thought that I would learn proper fpv and also have the avata so I enjoy flying while I learn proper fpv.
Wonder if you suggest me to learn fpv on the Cletus or should I try sticking with the avata and return the Cletus? I want to get the physical reflexes and not sure if the avata is going to spoil me, WDYT?
The Avata 2 has both NORMAL and SPORT Modes which are BEGINNER Flight modes. Those modes do not exist in the real FPV hobby. Nor does that silly motion controller. Depending on which CETUS you purchased, you may be stuck with BEGINNER Flight modes as well.
Great tutorial! Thank you!!
Great video as always. Not a fan of the motion controller. Why are we trying to pull away from a normal transmitter??
Please explain your question as I do not understand what you are asking.
DJI is just giving more options for more pep to come get there stuff. If they can get everyone to try it the more sells they make. When I go to flying events it's the motion controller I teach to non drone flyers. They all love it. I teach the reg controller to anyone looking harder. I've only taught my Grand daughter the reg controller.
@CAPTAINDRONE798 I feel like dji is trying push their motion remote. You now don't get a choice. Your dji will come with the motion remote and if you want a "normal" remote you are stuck paying extra for one. Thanks for all your reviews as always!
Hi I have been following you since the dj Spark days. I really enjoy your content. I actually have a spark and and a dji mini 3. I also have my basic licence. i notice you fly in the Ottawa area ( millenial park). Can you recommend other places to fly with a basic licence in the Ottawa area? Thanks
You can fly any under 250 gram where you wish as long as you don’t annoy people, planes and moving cars. You’ll notice that if I fly a drone, there are rarely people around unless they are people I know.
Can you charge the goggles while flying or use an external power bank? 3 hours isn’t always enough
You can plug in external power to the USB C
I have a mavic 3 and also the dji FPV game style controller. Is either of these compatible with the avatar 2?
Avata 2 only works with the DJI FPV REMOTE 2/3 and the Motion Controller 3.
Just got the Remote Controller 3, haven’t tried it yet, not in a rush cuz having plenty of fun with motion controller for now. Great tips though! Wow! Still would like to screen capture like I can on the Mini 4 Pro. Any ideas? Post?
SCREEN CAPTURE is a PHONE thing, so you would do it on your phone connected to your goggles (all phones have screen capture).
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Okay great! Was wondering which app to try tot that other than DJI Fly…Will give it a try. Thanks!
is it possible to set the "head tracking" to move the gimbal camera up & down movement only and not affects any other movements of the drone..: thanks
As far as I can see head tracking is either ON or OFF (no additional options)
ok thanks , that's probably why I can't find it in the settings. But I thought I would just ask the question anyway 👍👍👍
Thanks for yet another great video.
Quick question does the controller record sound or is it the drone. Personally prefer when the drone does?
Drones don't record sound because guess what you would hear.... BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. The controller does not record sound either.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks for the info. I am sure the old DJI spark did, saying that it might have been my first drone the husban . Thanks for you videos love them.
Hi I use the dji fpv for fast Landscape videos and wanted the avata 2 for some fast cruising in woods and were there obstacles but I would hate to go hiking and carrying the v2 googles and remote controller 2 do you think the googles 3 and remote controller 3 will ever be backwards compatible with the dji fpv???
Probably. It may take a year though for DJI to put out such a firmware update.
Hi Cap. just saying thx to you and Nikki for the stickers I just received them today thx again I LOVE them
Wow! You just received the stickers we sent out last December? What country do you live in?
Amazing tutorial for beginner 🙂 Thanks again!
I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max but the avata 2 cable dosnt fit. I had to plug into my iPad Pro to do the updates and setup. Is there an adapter for my phone cable to work on my iPhone and is this a problem when I go out flying?
People with the old APPLE phones that use the lighting connector (I was one of them), would simply use the cable that came with the phone or any cheap lighting cable they bought off AMAZON.
Question. How long would you recommend flying in beginner mode?
There is no set time period because everyone has different skill levels. Plenty of DJI owners never get beyond Normal and Sport mode.
Hey, great video thank you one question I had because I did speak to DJI about this as well in the new goggles. Are you also seeing it as a rectangular square? I’m guessing there is no way to put this in fullscreen or at least get to edge. I thought this was gonna be more immersive, but all I’m seeing in the goggles is a small rectangular image I guess, probably to avoid lag issues.
I did set the field to 100% just wondering if there is any option for more of a full screen
What are you referring to? Are you talking about the Picture in Picture? It is just a square as shown in this video.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I actually mean the feed from the drone inside the goggles I was expecting at least something close to full screen, but I’m getting about 80% of my fov. It’s still good, but it would be great to have a larger fov but
I’m pretty sure they kept it like this just to reduce any lag
@@GEOFFYCOLLECTIONSounds like you are not in 16:9
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 so what do you see in the goggles? Do you see a rectangular image of the view? Do you see black on top and bottom left and right? I did send it to 16 x 9 but I still see that. It’s a rectangular square surrounded by black.
@@GEOFFYCOLLECTIONMy entire rectangular image fills the screen. It sounds like you have just adjusted your viewing settings all wrong. Or… did you mistakenly put the prescription minus lenses on?
When flying indoor can't you just enable the beginner mode? The mode thats enabled out of the box for first flight. That way you dont need to do any changes in normal mode meny?
Beginner mode would work for some. For others they will need to modify the gains to achieve the desired effect
Hey love the vid, i wanna get a fpv drone but im tied between the avata 2 and the dji fpv. I really like all the freestyle i see with 5 inch quads but thats too much work for me currently id rather have a dji because of all the features and like safetys and stuff. I wanna be able to do acro like the true fpv drones which do you think is better for like just stuaghr acro ajd freestyle and flips iver stuff and things like that
Avata 2 is more designed for newbies
you mentioned you have to activate it with the USB to USB cable and mobile , but my iphone is Lightning cable . does it come with a USB to lightning ??? or can I activate it through Wi-Fi . thanks 🙏
Lots of people are in your situation and they all figured it out. Use your own cable. You will figure it out quickly. DJI does not include the lighting cable.
Love your work. Thinking about this. FLYDrone Drone Airdrop System for DJI Avata 2, Drop Release for DJI Avata 2, Transport Release Accessories, Do you have any comments. TIA
Sorry, I have no knowledge of those items.
Would you guys say that the avata 2 would have been better as the pusher config?
Great video . What happened to object avoidance. You didn’t mention anything about it.
I did mention twice during the video that there is no object avoidance.
Very nice flying. I fly a lot fpv with race drones and bought this one for filming. I cant handle the motion controller at all haha en put it away
hi, i see you wear glasses, i have quite a high prescription so i probably would have to wear my glasses throughout flight, what are the goggles like whilst wearing glasses, thanks for a really informative video
I remove my glasses to wear the goggles
Question is one battery enough? For a 13 yr old spending a 1000 dollars on a drone already a lot i was just wondering if i could save a couple bucks there
Definitely not
Hey, I really want the DJI Avata 2 but the only problem is that I don’t have the budget to buy the combo with 3 batteries and the controller 3. Do you think that it’s a good idea to buy the combo with 1 battery and slowly buying batteries and the DJI controller 3 ? Thank you for your reviews ❤
Well I think after you do your first flight you’re gonna want more batteries and if you buy them individually it’s more expensive
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Oh ok, thank you and about the DJI controller 3, do you think it's a good idea to buy it later ?
@@fynnjanson3989yes, but later when you get tired of the motion 3
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 ok thank you very much ! Continue your wonderful reviews
Can you shoot raw on mini 4 pro if you fly with a motion controller? I see that goggles do not give such an option and even jpeg are very small
This is not a drone for photo taking, so shooting DNG photos would be something few would use.
Line of Sight. Great video tute, thanks.
Do you find flying in manual mode with the controller 3 is like flying an R/C plane.
Not really. RC planes can be flown with only the right joystick and very little skill. Flying a drone in ACRO mode means you need two hands and synchronize coordination.
Thank you ……. I have many years flying R/C planes and Mavic drones. I bought the Avata 2 along with the remote controller 3. This will be my first FPV done… do you recommend starting with the R/C motion controller or the remote controller 3 ? I’ll be flying in normal and sports mode until I get comfortable before switching to manual mode.
what's the optimal charging voltage/amperage, i have a 65w charger from my phone that does 5-11v at 7.3A, or should i get something that uses the PD standard?
That charger may work
that charger will work fine. The charging hub pulls about 55 to 59.
I'm planning to buy an Avata 2 it will be my first drone. Do you recommend this drone for beginners like me?
You are exactly the person the AVATA 2 was made for... people with zero skills.
CAPTAIN DRONE, i beg you review the budget rc airplane Wltoys f949! My son's birthday is in 2 months, and i'm interested in buying this. Lots of respect for your videos!😁
Does anyone have the settings for indoor flying with the stick controller? I seen how the motion controller got dialed in but I am wanting to slow the stick controller. Ty
Question: if the motors are on, but you have not yet taken off, how do you turn the motors off without taking off?
You just initiate the same start motors process and they will shutdown.
So tempted in buying, thanks for this fab video Steve
Thanks for checking it out. The AVATA 2 is certainly a type of drone that gets people into FPV.
I wear progressive spec or multifocal spec. Can it fit inside the goggle
Not really. The goggles are not designed for glasses.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 i like to buy this drone but the goggle diopter is out of my spec range.
Lol... My question was going to be "Do you have any videos showing the stick moves for the flips and drifts?" BUT I guess that's coming! Cool! I have the Avata 2 and tried it out the Remote 3 today, I need to find an open and empty space to get use to the Motion Controller though.
Stick moves are simply the one joystick on the motion controller. Just move it in the direction of your desired drift or flip
Uhh sorry, I meant stick moves with the RC 3.
@@frankc.9853Oh, you have to know how to fly in manual mode to do that. To flip forward, push the right joystick forward, etc.
A dumb question but anybody can answer it. Do you have to connect your cell phone to it every time because my cell phone charging port is screwed up and I can only charge it wirelessly but I do have other devices. I can hook up to it if it’s just needing to add firmware or whatever.
It depends on where you live in the world. I believe for people in the USA you have to connect your phone for remote I’d purposes (I’m not sure if for such a purpose you can connect via Bluetooth vice using the port). I live in Canada and we currently have no remote ID requirements.
Wait - I'm confused. Can I fly the A2 w/ the RC Motion Controller WITHOUT turning on the Goggles 3?
In your videos when you use the google, you are sitting. Do you get nausea standing?
Nope, not at all. Sitting is so much more comfortable when flying.
I put it in beginners mode to do indoor and slow flight with obstacles. That way you don’t need to mess with the tune.
I need help on the ole lenses and which ones I require for my eyes. My prescription is SPH -0.5 CYL -1.5 axis 100 for both eyes any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Do the ones that come with my fly more kit meet my requirements or will I need prescription lenses?
Sorry, I’m not knowledgeable on eye sight prescriptions. All I can say is the goggles would probably be fine as additional minus prescription adapters are included.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 no worries thanks for the quick response. I will fire a message to live chat and see what they say.
Really enjoyed your video. New subscriber now, very nicely done!
Welcome aboard!
Congrats for the fantastic tutorial!
Glad it was helpful!
I can't wait to get this drone. I've been practicing hard on my Analog Tinyhawk freestyle. Around 6-12 packs a day.
Unless I'm trying something crazy, I usually don't crash anymore. If I'm gonna burn one of my DJI care refreshes, I want it to be for something good 😂
If you can fly the Tinyhawk then this drone is even easier to fly.
Best tutorial for avata 2 a big hug my friend 👍👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Good solid guide! Thank you
Glad you found it helpful!
How to disable battery low hover or rth to not interrupt my footage!? Thanks
