My First Time Flying FPV Manual Mode! DJI Avata Crashed & Burned?

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Nicely done. That was a nice open area to fly. I think the DJI Avata is a great drone. It grew on me.

[@Matthew_Sherwood]

Thanks !! I love the Avata !

I like this video,it’s give me courage to try manual mode,and I can’t wait to try it.

[@Matthew_Sherwood]

You can do it. Don’t be scared. :)

Welcome to FPV dude - Your pocket will love you, next step, get a custom build 5 inch :) Quick question, that orange foam on your goggle, that an aftermarket product?

Hi, just found this after buying Avata 2, that filming was horizon steady not rocksteady i assume considering the rolls stayed flat on the main video?
I haven't tried manual yet, almost there!
Good job.

How many hours did you put into the simulator? Everyone will have a different experience but just curious on yours.

[@Matthew_Sherwood]

15 hours.

Awesome video! Can’t wait to get my first FPV drone. Side note why doesn’t anyone have Solar? No trees anywhere.

[@Matthew_Sherwood]

Good question.

[@WildKillerFox]

Nothing like that first week, you'll only get better from here!

[@Matthew_Sherwood]

Thanks! The worst part was the fear of flying for the first time.

[@Matthew_Sherwood]

Now I can’t wait to fly again!

[@WildKillerFox]

@@Matthew_Sherwood it goes away for sure! Just don't abandon the sim, it's perfect for trying new things before irl

[@Brock_Rogers]

How many simulator hours did you put in before you switched to the real deal? About at 12 now looking to try it soon!

[@Matthew_Sherwood]

You are ready! I did about 15! To be completely honest flying for real is easier than the simulator. Let me know how it gos.
