@@kenheron I'm so happy about the power loop, it was such a nice feeling especially the second time which was cleaner. Thank you much for your kind words, your video is amazing and so much fun to watch!

Ken, you did an amazing job on our JW Marriott building shoot in Nashville those few years back. The client LOVED your footage. Always enjoy your content here! -Ben
Had to subscribe for such great mix of great sense of humour and great demo + info, brilliant keep going! Great to show the bloopers! =) Just re penetration (distance) test, did you use Focus Mode in case that helps and ideally have antennas probably positioned more consistently pointing in same direction always during entire test without car blocking. it looks like googles were sitting on the box behind windshield. Also night camera test ideally have a test with exact same settings for comparison + one with auto to show the difference/advantage in both manual vs auto conditions for consistency. Otherwise awesome (cool car btw. :D ). Btw. isn't it perhaps better for connectivity to look with googles more in the direction/level where you're flying? (I only started this week with Avata 2 and noticed it's tempting to look downwards into the ground but probably not ideal and perhaps can make a difference towards end of bandwidth connectivity.
I'm impressed. The camera to me looks more vivid on A2 than A1 steak sauce 😋 I'll hold onto my Avata1 with 5 batteries for awhile longer. Great comparison Ken and that deep penetration is a game changer. ❤
Thank you, Ken for another great video! Your video's are the bestest! I am loving the new Avata 2 so much more than the OG Avata! I a glad I am not the only one getting those new damn Avata 1 battery updates again! Run them down to 10% they say!
Y’all play too much! 😂 I watched this at breakfast with my son. Good thing he’s only 18 months. Wife however was wonder what I was watching. 🤔🤪 I told her drone stuff. I don’t think she believed me. 😅
Love this video lmbo! You guys made me laugh all the way through the video! Penetration!! Thank you for the video I learned a lot and I'm definitely getting the avata 2
I love my Avata 2, it's definitely an upgrade. My only negative about the avata 2 is that it doesn't seem as durable as the first one and you cant self repair it. The Avata 1 you could replace prop guard and frame but the Avata 2 it doesn't seem possible. I had to purchase care refresh for Avata 2 so I can feel more comfortable when flying it. Other then that everything about the avata 2 is awesome. Love your videos ken keep it up
I removed a few screws with no success. They have a couple screws that are rounded off underneath the aircraft to help prevent us from opening it up. 😢
Yeah i havent even tried to mess with it. After i purchased it i watched Mads Tech video on dismantling it later on that day. i wasnt happy to find out what he showed on his video. Its like DJI said nope were making it hard to self repair so they can sell more care refresh packages and further their repair services. But i still love it and in many ways a definite upgrade. @@BlueDroneBlues
Crashed mine on third flight when RtH took it into a tree and it dropped straight down and broke prop and bent shroud. Best Buy said it was irreparable, so my repair plan turned into a replace plan. Was back in the air 6 hours after crash.
Why GyroFlow (or other post-processing) will always be better than any in-flight stabilization: because it sees the whole video including the FUTURE parts, while the in-flight stabilization only has the past part of the video.
I am loving my new Avata 2. Just received the new Controller 3 and it is defiantly an upgrade in flying than the OG Avata! Flying in Manual Mode Fun in the wind is best with the Avata 2. The Motion Lotion Controller just doesn't do as well. I really hope DJI offers a better option soon regarding that rubber floppy seal around your face which to me is very infuriating to say the least. I can only imagine in the summertime with that glued to your face and feeling the molded plastic right behind it. I need some cushion DJI or some friendly 3rd party person to make the Goggles 3 more comfy. Wish the strap was a little bigger for my "Big Head", but it is what it is. I have 2 sets of Ken Dobo's "Ribbed for Your Pleasure" guards on the way. Ken is the only one that has any guards for the new Avata 2! Thank You, Sir!
Maybe my next purchase. I have a Mini 2 and a Mavic 3 Classic but no FPV drone yet. I wasn't sure with the Avata yet but when I see the capability of the Avata 2 I might be persuaded to buy this fpv drone as well 🤩
Hey Ken I’m 14 years old been doing droning for 4 years now and been upgrading for a few years now now have the air 2s and now want to start making some money with it by doing roofing inspections progression jobs and inspections but I know I need a part 107 and need to be 16 to get it is it legal if my mom gets the license and everything that involves getting money with the drone is ran by her even if she knows nothing about the drone I’ve been getting work done with the drone for people but now realizing that my name is getting out there alittle bit and now seeing that I should really consider this license so the faa dosnt start to come over here and start fine me or should I just wait until I’m 16 to get it up and running
First off good for him!!! Exciting to see young kids making money early!! Hey bud! In order to earn money yourself, you need to be 16. The one exception would be to can work under someone (like mom) with a part 107 and you can serve as the Remote Pilot in Command. The money would have to flow through your mom or whomever has the 107. Good luck!
No matter what iso in low light i get crazy noisy unsharp footage 400-800 iso also. What am i doing wrong? Usually film 4k30 1/60 shutter and maximum iso of 800 depending on how dark it is. Tried higher and lower but always get grainy unsharp footage.. any tips? Anybody
I think y theres such a big difference between the 2 is because 1's a pusher. Pushers are great for slow speed stabilization....but the avata 2 is much more quite and the flight characteristics are much better especially at a higher speed or acro
3:11 why finally this is only the 2nd avata they listen to customers that’s why I usually never get the new stuff I’m satisfied with an air 3 and planing on getting the avata 2 by the time the o4 air unit comes out I should be an fpv pro
We test it 15 min tops. And what happened to the obstigal avoidance. & still not water proof u hit the water & there fried. I thought it is a new upgrade. Gone backwards. But good video
Ken, I have to ask, do you personally find the avatar 2 a lot better than avatar 1, and are the goggle 3 slot better than goggles 2. Are they worth it and Should I spend the money, your thoughts ?
I'm getting the Avata 2 next week and have watched countless TH-cam videos on it from many, many content creators. The unanimous opinion is that the Avata 2 is a big improvement over the first one. It has better range, it's quieter, it handles better, it has a longer flight time per battery and the goggles are also a big improvement as well with a better transmission system. But you don't have to take me word for it, there are just an infinite amount of videos talking about the Avata 2 that you can watch yourself.
Are you going to fly Avatar 2 with goggles and the controller you got with the first Avata or you think its worth buying the whole package with the avatar 2, I want the avatar 2, but many has questioned how tough the frame is, and not sure if I should buy the complete package or just fly the avatar 2 with the goggle and controller I have from the first Avata? Your thoughts??
@@kenheron remote controller but I think I figured out why. Both my downward sensors had dirt on them 😅😅😅 cleaned and flew at night yesterday perfectly fine
Thanks for the nice video! Please help with some advise how can I have such good quality videos from Avata, uploaded in TH-cam? I use 1920x1080 60fps settings, then use GyroFlow, but when I upload to TH-cam the quality is discouraging. I see you have Avata videos stabilized with GyroFlow and they look epic. Please help!
Ken , once again they force the hand controller on you and you have to buy everything over again, goggles, drone battery, and controller.. I have 5 DJI drone, but going to check out on this one..
@@kenheron yeah, but the output power of the VTX is in low power mode when the motors are off. So this test doesnt make sense under this circumstances. You can test this yourself when put the Goggles on and watch the bitrate when starting the motors.
haha best intro ever!

Nice power loop at the bando. You never gave up and finally did it. Great feeling, isn't it? 🤘

My daddy works for Microsoft too 😅
the only downside is that the camera can't rotate in portrait/vertical mode as in Mini 3 Pro

Thank you for including me in your project. 😊
Part 107 ? Ken nobody is talking about this, we need a video explaining for Avata 2. Thanks Dmont
What is the question? You need a part 107 if you are flying commercially. Doesn’t matter what the drone is.
Correct

You're tempting me to go get an Avata 2. Question for you. Can it live stream?
It can, yes.

It's in Nashville Tennessee
perfect hack!
Yepgoing to use my goggle 2 for true fpv 03. 5”
For the algorithms 👍🏼
The algorithms thank you 👍
Why is the speed restricted with the motion controller?
The DJI FPV does 60. I never understood why the A2 doesn’t offer this option with the infamous Dildo Controller?
I put a piece of velcro on the top of mine and a strobe for night shots
I refer to them as Avata un and avata y dos 😊
I wish they were mainstream legal in Australia :(

Avata2 and avata1 increase their transmission output when in flight. The penetration test is a bit inaccurate. But great video tho 👍🏼

love the penetration test 🤣but I think height is a also a factor
Very true
I wonder what percentage of those using this drone experience motion sickness?
Interesting question.
This Penetration test doesnt make sense because when the motors off they are both in low Power mode 🤷
They're both on equal footing, so...
@@kenheron yeah, but the output power of the VTX is in low power mode when the motors are off. So this test doesnt make sense under this circumstances. You can test this yourself when put the Goggles on and watch the bitrate when starting the motors.

im sorry but your penitration test looks not right. you need to arm the drone to get maximum power. when on idle the power is limited.
nice I thought if that too, but with that limited power it still manage to penetrate that building
They would've overheated too soon.
