I knew you’d have fun with it! Great tool for sure
You are awesome my friend!
This is my first year flying a drone. I've put 724kms on my Mini2 and am so glad every day that I made the purchase. This is so rare with any "toy". I wish I knew if I'd be as happy months after purchasing one of these as well. It's tough finding toys that are as fun six months after buying them (maybe even more fun than day 1) compared to the initial excitement.
Nothing but outstanding fpv system on the DJI Avata! Digging the new goggles too. Kudos to DJI!
Well done Ken, Yep this is the fpv drone for me.
The Avata is indeed an awesome drone...in the right hands, however, I've never seen someone fly a drone like Ken! Ken, you are indeed AWESOME flying that Avata. Thank you!
Hey thanks Carlos! ☺️
Love it. Great piloting skillz Ken. This is my first foray into FPV and gotta say its a lotta fun.
My Avata is on it’s way. Going to be delivered today. I showed my wife a couple videos on it and she said get it, so I did. Thanks for your videos on the Avata.😊
Awesome!
Thanks for using my affiliate link!
Excellent Video Ken and Keith. Thank You.
My love is back ❤
Your a drone hero love you content from South Africa
Awesome video as always Ken
My Avata will be arriving Monday. It will be the first time I’ve ever flown FPV. I’ve only been flying a drone for about 5 weeks now. I want to try flying like this on day 1…🤣🤣.
Good video and flying Ken
Cinematic and adrenaline rush in one. Gotta love DJI Avata!
That is some Vulcan good flying
Nice! Can't wait to buy that little whoop!
we love your videos man, please do not stop doing them!
Thank you Gustavo!
Pretty amazing Ken!
Hey that’s me!!!
Ken you can!
Ken I have an old question for you but I cannot find an answer to it. I need to know if the width on the landing gear between a phantom three and a phantom 4 is the same. I need to buy a camera attachment for my phantom 3 but I can only find them for the phantom 4
I can assure you that they are not the same. I fix drones and there are not interchangeable.
@@radamesortiz4499 ok thanks, you by chance have a camera attachment for a P3 you want to sell? I can't find one online.
Yeah, the compasses are different too
@@KenHeron sad face
I feel your pain, I need a camera for an original Evo, seems they don’t exists pretty much, I hope you find the phantom parts you need.
Sweet flight. Thinking of integrating this Avada into my real estate bag of tools. Wonder if the Avada can handle a insta360 x2? With 360 vision coming into more and more projects it would be sweet if I could mount the x2.
What a surprise for a Monday morning! 🎉
nice flying
I haven’t watch your channel in awhile. That new drone is amazing. Still flying my mavic pro
Thats a cool place to fly.
So when used as a cinewoop it performs quite well, no signal loss inside the steel cone.
There have been several reports of banking/ turning left in manual then the avata loses control and plummets.
Still not getting one until they fix my sat maps on the rm-330 controller though.
Good clean fun as usual.
I am a big cinematic flyer I love going out into the trees and flying through them and this is the perfect tool for the job for me I am absolutely impressed with the video quality range and stability of this drone
Does need a lot of post-processing/stabilizing by the looks of it tho.
@@stevenvandestaak7132 Yes, they all use Gyroflow or something similar...
@@retromodernart4426 It has 2 versions Built-in rock steady and horizon lock so all you have to do is just pull the SD card out of the drone and your footage is good to go
@@Xplicit_fpv Thanks for the info.
I really thought you would have lost signal in the cone. Very impressive!!
Wow awesome flying Ken but have you flown at a drive in theater like I have?
That was some pretty small areas that you went through. That looks like a lot of fun. Maybe someday I will get one.
Love my avata.
Super digging the Avata, still doing the motion controller, one day that backordered FPV controller 2 will arrive, just don't know what day it may be. Glad Ken held back the climbing of the firetruck!
You made sure you switched to Barkley's Avata before Ken flew the little circle. Lol 🤣
You had me at 'Game Changer'! :) Great review Ken!
I thought the novelty would wear off after a few weeks but it's getting more addictive, the better I get!
This might interest you - this strange thing happened after I lost the Avata signal behind some extremely thick trees? When I looked at the footage that night I noticed that It paused, turned 180° and flew back out along the same curved path I flew in on, till it regained the signal and stopped. Another guy in the Avata FB group had the same experience so this is really a thing :)
Wow!!
you have some serious piloting skills Ken. I can only assume its more fun to fly someone else's drone through a steel gauntlet. Congrats David Keener!
What can I say!! Oh Yeah!!! Excellent!!!
Hi Great Video One Love
wholly f?!. ... (no words) nice flying Ken
the Bryant Lake Bowl (the bowling alley One Shot typically referenced) is just a few miles from my house.
Ken add a beacon to help you find the avata. Maybe?
This may well be the drone to get me into FPV
Ken Heron: I am so glad to see you enjoying the Avata so much more! I know I cannot be the only one waiting for you to get your own one day! Love your videos good sir! Keep up the awesome work! "Manual Mode!"
Any thoughts of the issue of it dropping out of the sky when in manual mode and doing an agressive left yaw move? Has happened to several people already. And others tested and proven this flaw.
It is user error, any ducted quad will do the same, if you induce maximum prop wash. It would be like buying a gimbal for your camera, whipping it around violently, and being upset that the footage isnt smooth. It is not operating within its normal parameters. Check out original dobos video on it. He shows that an experienced pilot, can easily fly around and and wont crash. If you are worried about it? Just fly normally, as its not a freestyle quad.
Take the props gards off like Drone Camps do 😍😍🤘🏻🤘🏻👍
Cool video, Ken. I asked Santa 🎅 for the Avata.
Not sure if anyone else mentioned this, but I see a few people saying this drone is very prone to what they call ‘tumbling’ where it goes out of balance, tumbles over, and falls to the ground. Have you experienced this yet, with this or any other FPV drones?
Hey ken, great video, Set up the c2 switch for turtle mode and you can just double click c2 when on its back and flips right back over. Save having to send a minion to flip it back for you. Lol hope this helps
Fun was had by all...., well except Barkley.... 😆
Ha ha i was wondering if the ladder was still stuck up in the air since Mindfield when i first started watching this video :P Nice flight!
Congrats to David Keener!
Big NO for me, the wanting to land and no arm disarm switch was really dumb on dji part, oh and a turtle mode
Try out the splash drone 4!!
This was a giant scam!!!!!
I’ve had my Avata for about a week but have yet to “Risk it for the biscuit.” Guess I just don’t want to “Crash it for the cash hit” yet.
OMG you bough a fire truck, SO COOL!!!!. I'll bet not you, not anyone can go full acro and power loop that heart. I'll put $1000 on that bet. Take my my money Ken, take my bet
Can the avata be purchased alone and used with my v1 goggles and v1 dji controller?
Did you make it so that the throttle stick didn't auto center? I noticed you flew in Normal mode, so I wasn't sure if you were recommending having the stick auto center, or not not auto center like you would if you were flying manual mode. Also, curious why you chose to fly Normal mode versus Manual mode for this"
awesome skills. I have great plans for a drone. can't afford one. every time I get close to purchasing one my money gets spent on life's more important things.
On my crashes the bumpers do a fine job. The real problem I have with crashes is the landing gear. When you hit the ground moving forward the front and side bottoms of the frame (landing gear) is what really takes the damage and spreads through out different connections to the drone itself. I hope there is something coming out soon to help round off the bottom of the landing gear so it gives it something smoother and helps reduce the damage the Avata takes on a crash. Now I am up for more props and prop guards for my Avata.
Thanks to my high quality in Noob skill Manual Mode abilities when I crash I didn't short cut motor off feature and have ruined 2 of my props both with the orange dot in the middle.
for about the same price what would you recommend ? avata , mini 3 pro , mavic air 2s , or fpv combo
Depends what you want to do. If you want to do this kind of flying FPV. This is the best for beginners.
hi can you share video settings?
Hey Ken, at 0:56 you mentioned on screen that the Avata has a 2 axis gimbal. I'm aware of the "pitch" axis, but wanted to ask what the second axis is.
Btw, all the different camera shots make a great viewing experience. Your editing is inspiring. 👌👍
I need a Xanax now
Great video Ken..but just one thing Ken the DJI FPV Drone would have never overheated & just shutdown like that..?? The Avata is the real POS.
🕹🚁👍
Feel like having the 360 camera on the avata is unnecessary especially since avata have a decent camera already and the drone it self is smaller
OK, even though I've been in the FPV hobby for 7 years now, this surprised me... The purpose of this comment is to show some FPV'ers that there is another way to get this Avata type of performance, with even more maneuverability, and I'd guess, more speed too! And, for one hella lot less ca$h! 😜
I was wondering which DJI digital Cinewhoop was both reasonable enough in price with really stable flying. I researched the heck out of everything, and was ready to buy the GepRC Cinelog25, except for it's price of around $350! Then, I stumbled onto a deal on my second choice the BetaFPV 95x V3...actually it's the V4 if BetaFPV got their head outta their AS$ and called the 1404 motors version a different model than the same exact quad with the 1106 motors that heated up so hot you could fry an egg on them! lol Does BetaFPV Fuc% up more products than any other quad manufacturer in the FPV hobby? I think so. 😳🤷♂
So, I found the 95x "V3" with the 1404 motors on clearance for a mere $175 shipped! And that's for the DJI version with the Caddx Vista! That deal is long gone, but I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't for good ole' Chris Rosser! Right while I was trying to decide, he came out with a complete video on how to tune that 95x V3 with 1404's! GREAT! And, the video showed him flying it very stable and smooth. I don't give a damn about HD footage, because it just sits on my hard drive and collects virtual dust! I never watch it, and don't care of it's posted on TH-cam. I don't want to edit things, that's another waste of time for me! lol I just wanted something to fly up in the canopy of trees! ...Going in one tiny little gap, weaving through all of the scraggle and ghost branches and out through another tiny gap on the other side. Then back into the next tree to do it all over again! We can see all of those tiny branches with the crystal clear image quality of DJI digital. It's just like what Ken did in this video, but in nature with trees with leaves and grass on the ground, instead of welded steel. Fun as hell cuz it's like flying through a near endless labyrinth to a tiny little 8" x 8" hole to escape. you can go a different way every time through. Something we could never do with analog or HDZero.
I am a firm believer in maximum power to weight ratio. Some like these 800+g 5" quads that weight so damn much - I'm just the opposite! I like things light and powerful to give me the most power to weight ratio. Something I learned from KababFPV (Bob).
I think some don't even get that concept one bit! I took off the HD camera mount and kept the Vista with heat sinks because the 95X V3 has it mounted right by the back props and it gets tons of grass sprayed on it. Even then, it weighs a mere 122 grams! I use a tiny 450mah 4S lipo that weighs in at 62 grams or a 450mah 3S, that seems to work just as well, that weighs only 49g. Often I am flying it at a total of only 171g - far below the 250g limit. If I want long flight times I use an 850mah 4s, but I also have 1100, 1500, and 2200mah 4S lipos, if I want to fly a long damn time. Honestly, those would just ruin the power to weight ratio!
It's fast as can be with those kinda big 1404 motors and the 450mah 4s, for a 2.5" pusher quad, but also light and nimble, unlike the DJI Avata with it's massive 410g take off weight. I wish a person could buy a small lightweight battery for the Avata to get that power to weight ratio up. It's not even in the ballpark of my 95x V3, as it is way, Way less than HALF it's weight.
Lots of people make a big huge deal about flight time. That's not what THEY SHOULD be making a big deal about - it should be power to weight ratio! With ultra lightweight quads and lipos, the quad flies nimble, corners on a dime, has tons of power, and is soooo hella fun to fly. I suggest others try this super light concept. 🤔👍 I've got a total of $180 into my 95x V3 with lipo, vs. $629 for the DJI Avata. My extra lipos cost me a mere FIVE DOLLARS, on sale. Aren't Avata batteries over $100?
Mine flies just as good, if not BETTER than the Avata. Seriously, it's smooth as hell flying through those tiny gaps, just like Ken showed us. Could have something to do with it weighing way less than HALF the Avata! Haahaa! I get great flight times on my tiny lipos too, and I have over 10 to fly! Another huge benefit of small and light - CHEAP!
Thanks for the comment
Does it have no fly zones?
Thanks, Ken. I wasn't going to get the Avata but now I am. Too bad DJI won't give you a sales commission.
Use my Amazon link!
@@KenHeron Will do! (This coming spring or summer). By the way. You're very good at what you do.
Oh, Amazon? No. They ripped me off for nearly $500. on returns money I had coming to me when they closed my account abruptly. I'm done with Amazon. Is there another way? Take your time. It won't be for another 5-7 months.
Yeah I would love to fly a Avata, I just don't know if I will want to own one. I like it better than the P.O.S Drone and I really like the new googles. But I can't spend $300 for a camera and new air-units. I fly micros, I have a couple 5in and a 7in but I prefer the little ones. I don't ever have a run in with Karen's, and I have never had a complaint. But I'm sure you fly a Avata at the parks they would show up in rows. I just don't need the hassle. Thanks again for the video.
Did you see the reports that if you turn it too fast itll fall out of the sky? it probably has incorrect pids.
Thanks for this fun video! I'm enjoying flying my Avata. I bought a DJI Osmo Action 3 with the magnetic mount system. If I wanted to attach the Action 3 to my Avata, would the magnet mess with the drone's GPS or signal to the controller? I can't find a good answer to this anywhere online.
It would mess with the compass probably. I would keep any and all magnets away from it.
@@KenHeron Ok, thanks :)
My DJI Avata Gimbal pointed straight up while I was flying. It would only point up or straight down after that. I've never crashed it and fortunately, I was able to land it safely, but now when I repeatedly try gimbal calibration, it's stuck on 0% for a long time. It's on a level surface, the props aren't moving, I've shut the goggles, drone and controller off and on several times. I'm not getting a reply from DJI. Can anyone advise a fix? I've seen the issue addressed one in a TH-cam video, but can't find it. Thanks in advance.
⬆️ Thanks for the feedback, send a message to the above 👆 l got something essential to share.
How do you still feel about the phantom 3?
Love it!
I was wondering if you can fly this thing with one eye unfortunately I had an accident and lost one of my eyes .
Yes you can.
Question: because of my physical disability, I don’t think I’d be able to reach any buttons that might be on the goggles. Are the buttons on the goggles required or can the avata be controlled completely via the controller?
Maybe you give the motion controller a go, you only need one hand to controll the drone and it's working surprisingly well. For flying you don't need to access the menus in the drone I think, starting motors, lift off, start-/stoping the video (you have an automatic option as well, as soon as the motors turn the video is recorded), gimbal controll and landing can all be done with one hand, at least with the motion controller (I don't have a "normal" one yet).
Is it just me or did I hear you say Ken DoNo, twice or was that intentional?
Dono is his last name
That’s the slowest fpv I’ve ever watched. Slow mo fpv lol.
you jamtart, your speed was fine, should have kept going and raised up a foot! :D
Do you have an ambulance too?

It’s also $1400, plastic, and can only be serviced by an authorized retailer. Pointless device.
I dont have hundreds of dollas To spend To a dorne
Won what?
Sniff 😢
Wow shill central Ken, yaw problem found, Ken look over here video released
Jesus this is biblical sending a camel through the eye of a needle 😇🐫🙏
It’s Dobo not Dono Silly Wabbit. Lmao
Dono is Ken's last name, you waskal.
wish it was faster. 30mph isnt that impressive
Try manual mode.
@@KenHeron Think it will break 50mpg full tilt? The dji fpv does 90...
Entry level drone?! At €1189?! Are you guys nuts?! It almost cost as much as my car when i bought it. No joke. Then people need to get everything els into a locked ecosystem?! And people still don't get why some of us hates DJI.
Sorry. Im not sold. No hate on you guys. But keep it a bit realistic. Plz.
Um DJI sells drones for $100 as well. A really decent drone for $300... regardless, even if all their drones were over $10,000, that's no reason to "hate" them... weird. Oh and they release SDKs for all their drones so you can download 3rd party programs... As far as the Avata goes, to buy a decent pre built cinewhoop, controller, digital goggles and GoPro is gonna cost as much or more.
Dji the communist drone company that is what DOD just blacklisted them for chinese military ties.
it's kind of a piece of shit tbh.
Keep practicing.
MurdersFPV Has just upgraded his motors to AXIS. Go see his video for it 👍💯😁
Will do, thanks
so sick of /AVARTA reviews. done There will be a recall
Just get one. Stop hating.
Great flying Ken, your a very skilled pilot. And the new Avata drone seems to be a very good FPV drone. Great video and thanks for sharing.
DJI Avata’s game changer indeed! We are lucky to have this ready-to-fly fpv drone giving us remarkable fpv flight experience while capturing some amazing footage at the same time.
That is one awesome Launchpad ya got there!
Nice video🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!
