I'm a 61 year old man that has worked involving imaging in one form or another all of my working life. I started with an Autel XSP and then a Mavic Air 2 a couple years ago and this new Avata (plus your videos) has gotten me to want to try FPV, especially with the new technology coming out. I always thought, "I'm too old for this stuff, it's a young guy's game" but I also tell myself that age is just a number and you're never too old to learn. I've binge watched both your channels in the last couple months and you are by far my favorite TH-camr. Keep up the excellent work Gene!!!
ngl I know 90% of filmmaker TH-camrs would've cut out that interaction with those people who you were schooling on FPV drones, but I found that bit entertaining af and their vibe was awesome! " I seen the back of Potatos head, I said : ' I know this guy ' " hahahahaha
You are a reliable creator for entertaining and informative content for smart folks that dig tech. I am a two decade drone nerd and I appreciate your insight and access. Cheers, my nerdy brother from another mother! 😎 Nice work!
This man is 100% the best reviewer. I bought the same backpack as him, due to his review on it. I love the thing! As someone whos never done fpv flying, this drone looks so dope as well!
I really enjoyed this review. The best was seeing your mates first impressions of the Avata with the drone and goggles. I particularly enjoyed the veteran FPV fanatics and their raw emotion and excitement of this new FPV drone. I could have watched them a lot more flying and chatting about the benefits compared with their pains of building and bashing FPV drones. Really entertaining. Cheers.
another great one - love the cast of "strangers", the attention to detail of the cuts/edit, you can tell a lot of work was put into this. Good job....Dylan!
I love these videos where you are just talking with a bunch of friends who like to do the same stuff. Normally, I like the scripted, detailed, educational type videos. But it's nice to just see a bunch of people having fun with something.
Been flying FPV for 10 years and never imagined DJI making a consumer friendly FPV drone like this. The biggest issue that they overcame was durability which has been addressed here by advanced autopilot tech, low weight and incredible advances in low latency video transmission / display. Only DJI could do this at scale. Years later, nobody comes close to nailing the consumer market.
Not only do I always look forward to your videos, regardless of subject matter, but yours are the ONLY baked-in ads I don't immediately skip. Never thought I'd say anyone's ads are worth watching, but yours are!
so far this is one of the best technical Dji Avata review so far! i've never ever flown a drone before but im really looking forward to purchase this one.
Excellent video! I love that you mention the packages only come with the motion controller. All the other channels seem to ignore that fact! Especially when they only use it with the standard controller!
So glad they've made their drones more durable. That was the number 1 thing that stopped me from getting the original DJI DPV drone. Also looks like third party manufacturers might be able to make carbon fibre accessories to make this even more durable as well.
The accelerated advancements in drone technology, over the past few years, has got me super excited for what’s in store for the future. It pushes the boundaries for cinematic and casual applications where essentially anyone can afford to buy one. Super cool stuff! 👌🏻
Hey Buddy! I just wanted to pop in and say I hope you guys are doing well! Keep up the great videos! When I grow up I wanna be just like you. But better ask skateboarding.
I love videos like this one. You guys are fun to listen to and everything seems so authentic. I like your take on things and your videos are a joy to watch.
DJI if you make these goggles contactable with the old air units and vistas, it will allow us to upgrade our drones over time. We don’t want to own two goggles and we don’t want to throw away all of our old air units and vistas. 100% you will sell more goggles if you make these comparable!
DJI doesn't make anything compatible, not batteries, controllers, goggles, charge cases etc. They are very orientated around a business model that sacrifices convenience for the sake of more profit. They are the Apple of the drone world.
Holy crap man, Been watching your videos for a long time, and you never cease to amaze me with your energy which is why I keep coming back (on top of the fountain of knowledge). This might be my next bigger purchase. Been dying to get into FPV for a while and the safety aspects on this are extremely tempting
Love seeing the head-tracking feature incorporated into the goggles/drone. Wish they include the HT in the Air Unit so I can use it on an RC jet - fingers croseed!
I heard the original DJI FPV would get blocked in no fly zones. Where as a mavic it would warn you but you could still fly. Does the avata have this problem too? Or can I fly it no matter where I am?
Mmm I think it was showing GeoLocked on screen on 51Drones review…I had the same thoughts as my home is within 2km of Tokoroa airfield but have trees n fences to fly shielded per NZ Part 101….Laurie NZ
I love how you incorporate the community into your video instead of brushing them off. Map props. You're a down to earth guy. Earned a sub for sure and I don't even have any drones.
Now it might have been staged with the guys walking into the park with drones, but it absolutely made this video a 10/10. I've never flown FPV but it has me thinking. its nice having a beautiful cinematic advertisement, but this video has had more of an impact on me wanting to buy....Thank You PJ...thank you DJI for letting PJ have freedom to produce such an awesome video.
That's the crazy thing and the best part of the video that it's 300% not staged at all. We were minding our own business filming our own project and was leaving the park but I noticed that it was Potato and legit interrupted the filming and next thing we know we ended up at the park another 2 hours learning about drones ahaha. Such an amazing encounter ahaha
No more worries of crashing that fpv I feel dji is on a goal to give filmmakers equipment that enables them feel value for their money but also enable them be comfortable with small machines that finish the job while traveling. Thank you for this video great information
All that was going through my head when listening to the background music was "spot light uh, moonlight uh, shawty why you trippin get your mood right uh. Spot liiiight, mooonliiiiight!"
Can we all agree that if we see Gene in the wild we leave him be?! Lmao the boy needs to stay focused or it’s off the rails. 💯 loiter, wait to snag that introduction and grab that selfy ONCE the man’s done doing what the man needs to do! -Of course great vid as always!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@ddegn I agree! It reminds me of when he was visiting Isaiah Mustafa’s home and whipped out the mini 3, then included that footage with his ‘New Product Launch’ vid for the mini 3. My comment was mainly in jest, playing on his ADHD and all of us scoping him in the wild, and him being so approachable. I really enjoyed the vid as well!
@@joemamamia1751 Good to hear you enjoyed the "extras" too. Can you tell me some search terms which would help me find the video with *Isaiah Mustafa’s home?* I haven't watched all of PJ's videos and that sounds fun.
I’m interested to hear your thoughts about first steps into FpV for newbies. Getting something like the BETAfpv Cetus to learn to fly, and then stepping up when you feel confident to other drones (like the Avata) still seems like such a good way to learn to fly. I wonder how many people would feel confident to learn to fly transitioning from ‘normal’ to ‘manual’ modes on the Avata, or if the price might limit this?
Gene, you've got to have these guys on every video. I haven't stopped laughing. Hey, BTW, you ever gonna make an honest woman out of Carrie? (Oh the heartache I just caused you)
Wow that was fast, they just dropped the FPV this is bad ass!!! YOU QUICK WIT IT!! Great to know they decided to make the fpv smaller for cooler shots!!
You guys are having way too much fun! But most important, your overall enthusiasm, backed by your overall experience in video really sells this product.
Yes this is the review that I am waiting for. I have commented on DJI avata video last time. Thanks Mr Potato let’s do this people he’s going 1M next month. September baby.
Thanks for having us be apart of the video! Was super fun and now I’m high key getting this drone 🤣.
Eh you guys made this video feel so chill

Don't let yourself down just because your little older then others! Go for it!
I fly FPV with a 70-yr-old retired electrical engineer and he's a badass pilot. There's no maximum age limit for flying FPV. Do it!
Do it!! Now is the best time!
What we old guys might lack in reaction time we makeup for in accumulated knowledge and experience. We live in an ageist society...rebel!
Do it, I got my father started fpv in his late 60's!

it seriously was an amazing way to end the day. I was not planning on this happening AT ALL! ahahah
Agreed! That was entertaining and they were all really fun people.
They were my favorite part of the video!
That was great. Cool to see others' reaction and not just one dude talking at me.
Yeah, it all happens organically, too.😂🤡

Such a pleasure to watch you explaining things brother
Thank you for being you ❤❤🙏

Don't be fooled, the casual chat is most definitely scripted
I think the main DJI product on this video is the DJI Mic. It saved the whole conversation haha luv it
i have to agree. I just got those too.

That’s the best description I’ve heard. It’s like a rewind button in video game.
This man took a couple minutes longer than the others to give us that **accurate** pronunciation of the drone name 😄
Not only do I always look forward to your videos, regardless of subject matter, but yours are the ONLY baked-in ads I don't immediately skip. Never thought I'd say anyone's ads are worth watching, but yours are!
potato jet would be the perfect best buy sales man....he could sell drones all day
Dude the guy wearing the Vance shirt is the BEST. He's killing me.
New technology which makes FPV more accessible and 'safe' is always great... I think I will try and get my hands on the Avata soon!
so far this is one of the best technical Dji Avata review so far!
i've never ever flown a drone before but im really looking forward to purchase this one.

For only 1300 bucks
I like how passionately you explained everything to them around 13:00. I know you were having fun.
makes me glad I never got into FPV before now :D
Right, some of the OG FPV guys aren't happy about this 🤣
14:52 did it for me. I friggin love it. Dude was going full 3rd person video game on that one. haha
Excellent video! I love that you mention the packages only come with the motion controller. All the other channels seem to ignore that fact! Especially when they only use it with the standard controller!
You gotta have these guys on EVERY SINGLE VIDEO! They’re freaking awesome…it made the video, Potato!
The video was 100 times better with Dustin, Maronzio and Matthew. Awesome reaction!

Yes to the built-in propeller guards! I might have found a new drone to make crazy adventures with!

Thank you for yet again another great informative and entertaining video. I truly appreciate the hard work you put into all that you do.
This is one of his best videos when he is educating people on the drone.Great video.
Love seeing the head-tracking feature incorporated into the goggles/drone. Wish they include the HT in the Air Unit so I can use it on an RC jet - fingers croseed!
Of all the videos I've seen about this drone, yours is hands down the best! Thanks Potato Jet!
"Did this drone leak or something?" hahaha - awesome video. Love it!
I was really on the fence about buying one of these and watched everything I could this morning. Your review was 100% the best.
Those two black dudes are funny as hell, especially the dude in the grey shirt, he needs to get into comedy. 😂
Just youtube his name Maronzio Vance lol he's a standup comedian :) and thank you
The guests in the park are the best!
I heard the original DJI FPV would get blocked in no fly zones. Where as a mavic it would warn you but you could still fly. Does the avata have this problem too? Or can I fly it no matter where I am?

I’m sure it will have the same thing.
I really like having all those diverse impressions in this video. Thanks for this Gene.
The bros are too funny. I continued watching because of their antics and forgot it was a DJI Avata review HAHAHAHA
This whole video was amazing. All of these people are gems and such fun genuine interactions haha
I'd be sold today if it bundled with the regular controller instead of motion controller.
Same here I think I will just end up going with the mini 3 pro and when the Avata 2 comes out and they iron out things people don’t like I will buy
yeah not including a basic controller is weird.

One of the most entertaining vids I think I've seen from you. Keep it up 👍
Honestly I couldn’t tell much of a difference between the two fpv drones due to TH-cam compression. Avata seems awesome!
Yeah, unfortunately TH-cam compression makes all action camera footage look bad.
