Which drone is it please tell me the name
I found a perfect use case for the head tracking today. I was filming some surfers at the beach. The head tracking makes it easy to keep the camera on the surfer when they are up and riding the wave. I'll have that video posted tonight.
Does head tracking only work when using the motion controller or can we use the dji controller also
@@DotAndDab Only normal and sports mode. Controller doesn't matter.
@@hotrodindaytona5658 when i selected head tracking nothing happened.. what should it be doing?
@@DotAndDab I’m not 100% sure but I’m pretty sure the head tracking feature only works with the MC2.
@@nustartwellness4454 Every video I have seen of the head tracking they are holding the MC2
Dude, I started doubting the flight controller for getting super cinematic shots like you can get in manual mode, but you showed me that it's possible. Keep making more of these
Hey Stewart, I want to thank you for the great reviews on the Avata, using the Motion Controller, I fear that most of the reviewers are in such a hurry to show us how great they are in Manual that they have failed the vast majority of the buyers of this drone, to get going in this new aspect for us. Most of us will never get that good but sure as Hell can enjoy this drone using the Motion Controller and you are showing us how. I was doing some of those dives the other day and my flying buddy just loved them and with what you have showed me today about the Head Tracking feature they will get better. So a big thanks to you personally and a big Boo to the rest of those guys. Keep your RC Controller, I will probably get one but not soon.
Faxx. Everyone showing off the drone. Even showing how the Battery pops out during the smallest crashes, but nobody gave a method to keep it from happening.
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you're enjoying your purchase!
LOVED the raw emotion of the joy of flying this drone. It is on my list. Thx for the tips.
I been not only playing around with that with my motion controller, but if you use the new goggles 2 you can look all around or focus on something while flying the drone in a slightly different direction. I don’t want to say in any direction, but you really get to take more advantage of that wide gimbal and see pretty well below you, while rising or looking to the left or right and above you pretty well while your Avata continues to fly in the direction set. Didn’t take me very long at all to adjust to the change. The circle is the direction your drone is heading and the + is where your gimbal is facing. Takes some getting use to, but I love it. It is going to be a while till me and many others get the Controller 2, so this is all we have till that fine day. Gotta love it!
I'm thinking that little drone likes you, Stewart... Like REALY likes you.
Its affection toward you and need to be close to you is just adorable. 😉
I watch these videos for the Contant, and to learn techniques and tips. But I greatly enjoy the commentary and the humourous aspect as well. I generally don’t watch as many long videos, but I find these very enjoyable from start to finish. I learn a bit, laugh a bit, and find it is always time well spent. Thank you!
So good to hear! Thank you!
That is a stunning place to fly! Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant video! Loved that. Great just seeing the flying around as well as getting the information.
Also, I've been flying with the Motion Controller only. Speaking of diving, I found that if you do a spiral dive down with head tracking you get some beautiful video from that. The motion from the spiral sort of makes you forget you aren't going straight down like a normal FPV drone.
Great tip thanks! Building a repertoire of cinematic shots so this will come in handy!
I watch all your videos and love your personality and way of explaining things… And watching this video hearing your laughter and roar with excitement as you flew the Avata made me giggle! 👍🏻
This is brilliant! Thank you for sharing your expertise. Something worth trying on DJI Avata.
Thanks for the great video. This helps me a lot in my decision on buying an avata
Got one on order, can't wait to have some fun.
Wow, what a beautiful place to fly. Great video, always enjoy watching your videos!!
Great video! I just watched it for the third time. I just got my Avata this weekend, because of this video. Thanks. It is so much fun.
I really appreciate this video. Keep up the good work and I’m gonna try a lot of the stuff you were doing on manual mode.
Your enthusiasm in this was brilliant to watch 😁 Great video, really enjoyed 👌
Thanks for another great demo, allways entertaining and educational :)
Thanks Mark!
After watching this i think i will get one with the new goggles. Looks like fun. I fave fun with the regular FPV drone but this looks more fun and the video looks amazing. Thanks for the review.
Awesome location & video you i enjoy flying the Avata a lots even its slower than the FPV it allows to go place without the fear of destroying the drone. Keep up the good work!
_it's really fun playing fpv drones, I can try hopefully I can, thank you for sharing, it's amazing_
Thats was awesome fun! Tks.
Thanks Stewart. Your demonstration of 'Head Following' was great. The DJI videos were not that clear. I was really amused watching you get so excited. Mine is on order. I'll pick it up next month when I'm in the States.
Great video Stuart
TNice tutorials was really helpful for soone coming from Ableton Live and having used Fruity Loops waaaay back in the past
wow .. cool flight
Excellent video!
Loved all of it.
Much appreciated Jeff!
Looking so fun to fly even on normal mode.
That excited me and I'm not ashamed - brilliant 😂😂
Lol!
Excellent video❤
Wonderful!
Perfect ... Thank you
I love your videos brother. I dream of going to these places and fly my Avata someday. Again awesome video!
Thank you Jason!
Wow! I remember watching your videos on the Mini 2 and I was sold. I’ve got the same feeling after seeing this video. One of your best! might be worth a doing some wind farm runs when you finally decide to go manual (god speed).
Thanks Kevin! Great to still have you with us!
Excellent video. It looks like you are on the moon. 😀
Fun !😁👍 it’s a good content
Answering your question. Yeah it's a good content. Got very happy to know that i'll be able to fly it as a fpv out of the box. As far as a have no experience on the fpv world though.
Thanx for sharing
Great to hear!
woww DJI FPV Avata 👍👍👍
I love to see you enjoying that much hahaha I see myself reflected I also can’t believe what this drone is capable of when I am flying it
Great stuff!
great vid, was waiting for a detailed version of this, look forward to more when you build up skill level how bad is that signal tho
Nice video Stuart had 2 flights with mine first time doing fpv. what a blast this thing is heading up the faroe islands in 2 weeks hopefully my flymore kit arrives in time hopefully get some nice shots when I am up there
Wow, Faroe Islands! At the very least, a fast-charging power bank will get your battery boosted while you are on the go.
@@DroneFilmGuide yeah got 1 Stuart. The mini 3 will be my main weapon of choice weather permitted but hopefully be having fun with the avata on the cliffs
Thanks!
Wow, thanks for that Donovan!
Great video my friend
I need to know I don’t have a computer all I have is an iPhone. Does this thing need to be hooked up to a computer to get going because I only have an iPhone so I like to know if I have all I need here at home. Thank you.
I'm glad someone has created a dive with the motion controller, I've search through a few video's yours is the best, but from what I've seen it doesn't really dive at a drop only at a like 25 degree tilt, would you agree, so flying down a straight shaft isn't really possible is it? Thanks for the video .
Hi
Great video , thanks .
A question if I may , would it be legal to perform flights like that in the uk ?
Nice 😎
You're very evidently enjoying the avata 😁
Sure am!
@@DroneFilmGuide 50p or 25p?
may I ask what settings you got drone setting on ? its so crisp... my footage comes out very over sharpened most of the time
Sweet
while diving or doing any steep descent, does the camera (because it's tilted down so much) capture the frame of the drone in the shot? It looks like it does while looking through the goggles but not sure if the actual video captures that. If so, is there a setting to limit the gimbals downward travel to avoid capturing the drone's body in the shot
No turning back from the dark side now. You might as well start setting up a soldering station, watching JB videos and looking at carbon frames now. You are so fortunate living in such a beautiful place to fly.
Ha! Well I'd better learn to fly better in manual mode first! For sure, the locations are stunning. Just a cheeky little 4-7 hour drive from our house mind you!
@@DroneFilmGuide I always assumed that you just strolled out and were there. That is quite a trip but well worth it.
I am just curious, Can you fly your drone relative to the controller while moving your head around? Like can you look right via headtracking while the drone continues cruising forwards? Can head tracking work like a gimbal thats independent of the drone?
Hi. Got my avata and I fly it around the neighbourhood and get a pretty decent range almost same as my mini 4 pro. When you were flying around the rocks you only got 130 meters before signal get bad. Im in FCC canada and I wonder if you are in CE europe country
Is there a way to delete the camera and gps subtitles? When I uploaded the footage it has a lot of those and I just wanted just the video so I can post it and stuff
I love this thing. I wont be getting the controller as I just need it for the filming my garden
Appreciate these fantastic videos of the Avata, thank you 👍 can I ask where in Scotland you filmed this? I'm in Stirling and hoping a wee visit could be in order lol!
Here's the road that gives access to the first location (58.465292649712694, -4.896524296634577) and here's the second location (57.92591594129654, -5.222301449807742). As you can see, I took the idea of flying in isolated spots quite seriously!
@@DroneFilmGuide thank you very much, I'll have a look on Google maps 👍👍
How are you using the motion controller in manual mode? From what I’ve read you need the controller for that?!
The rocks blocking the signal, granite? Just wondered as rocks have different densities etc depending on type. Thanks Laurie. NZ.
I don't know but I'd be surprised if it matters. With CE video transmission here in Europe a paper bag would obstruct the signal TBH. Unsurprisingly, a hack has already been found to switch the transmission to FCC.
Is the head tracking only available in goggles 2? Or does it apply to goggles v2 too ?
6:15 For those interested, this track is called Open Road by Chester Malone.
Great video, Stewart.
Is that motion controller easy to get to grips with?
For sure. First flight you'll be able to do this.
@@DroneFilmGuide Good to hear, thanks.
So no flips pr barrell rolls with the motion controller?
Stewart, Did you feel the air time was enough?
Lastly, when you use head tracking can you accidentally or risk flying into the ground?!
Sure thing. 10-12 minutes of Sports mode. Because the flying tends to be a bit closer and lower it feels like plenty.
at the 7:07 mark, your screen shows an upward pointing arrow that looks as if you could select it. what is that for?
Nice! But wtf is it with those dark shadows. Same for the action 2. Hope that the action 3 wil fix this.
Looks like a lot of fun but the lack of range in the CE version is a little concerning⚠️
I'm out....😁😲
I suspect that those cliffs are laden with iron, which is probably why you were losing signal strength, iron is going to block the signals strength and interfere with the transmission.
Great Video - Is ist FCC Mode ??
Afraid not...CE...
The rock is moving hehehe
Come hai fatto a fare i tuffi senza che le eliche si vedessero nel video? A me si vedono sempre le eliche nei miei video !
Please stop posting more and more videos of Avata I’m saying that not the bad way is just the more I’m watching your videos the more I want Avata ;)
how many battery use for shot this video?
those connection issues are a real dealbreaker,
people are saying even with the FCC mod they are still losing connection the moment they fly near an obstacle.
thanks for the honest and thorough review!
Which drone is it please tell me the name
How responsive is the motion controller? Do you prefer the motion controller over a regular RC controller?
For this type of cinematic flying, in my opinion the motion controller is the preferred option. Flight is smoother probably because it is less responsive than the regular controller. Unless I've missed something, with the regular RC you can only tinker with the rates for manual mode, i.e. the responsiveness of normal and sports mode is set. If the goal is sharp turns and especially flips and dives then of course you need the regular RC but for smooth flight (albeit limited to 30mph), in my opinion, motion controller is the way to go.
@@DroneFilmGuide I am not interested performing flips and sharp turns. My interest is in a smooth cinematic look. Thanks for your quick reply. My Avata will be at my door by Sept 25th. Can't wait. Keep up the great content.
Love it! I suppose you could add a wee bit of speed ramping in post to really sell the "dives", but they look pretty spectacular just as presented here.
Have you tried the FCC mode hack ? it is very simple
Tell us more, how? Does that also work with the motion controller?
I wonder how many people buy these things then experience motion sickness or dizziness when flying?
The motion controller does with 1 hand, what the regular controller does with 2, and a lot of practice.
what is true airtime? :D
For beginner ok use motion controller..but full potential including smooth cordinated turn ..split s dive or manuever you need acro
👍👌👌👌
One question, is it normal for the batteries to take hours and hours to charge?
No. But you need to use the mains powered 'fast' charger. With an old-fashioned USB charger it will take ages.
@@DroneFilmGuide thanks a lot. You’re the best 🙌🏻
Use the charger from the Fly more Kit with a 65w charger (I got an ONN from Walmart here in the US). With that setup it will charge in about 30 minutes or less.
@@hotrodindaytona5658 It's perfect, Thanks! I have seen that the macbook pro is 61W.
Hey Stewart great videos 🤜🏼🤛🏼 have you got any further with the signal problem ? Iv had mine out in Mugdock park (you maybe know it) the last 3 mornings and I’ve Literally got 150m away go behind a tree and it’s gone . Actually scared to fly the thing haha . And that’s me tried 2 of the hacks . Still crap signal 😓
Hey! Haven't tried the hacks. But indeed, as you can see in the 2nd half of the video, the video transmission is certainly a limiting factor in CE regions.
How is the cable zip tie working out for keeping the drone battery secure during crashes? Does it still try to pop out?
Haven't put it to the test thankfully! Advice from the community would be a velcro strap instead of a cable tie.
It's not the drone that has the behind-the-rock connection problem, it is the motion controller. From what I've seen, the two-stick controller 2 has a stronger signal.
Hey Steven. At 8:55 and 10:58 you can see in the telemetry it's the image transmission that's the issue with the goggles-t0-drone connection. RC signal is a full 5 bars. It's because the European drones are hobbled by the CE standard that caps the signal strength for video transmission.
Be careful too. I had my Avada to sliced the shit out of my leg open from getting too close and creating a vacuum. Not fun.
You should be happy that rock-troll didn't eat you.
How you put telemetry on your video????🤔🙄
It's the recording from the goggles overlaid on the drone footage.
I wish i could afford 1 of these😢
Does it make me old that all I can think about is mowing that grass would be hell?
but where is the dive?
Once these are not 1300$, i'll buy one.
Doesn;t make sense to me that the mini pro 3 is faster out of the box then the Avata out of the box with motion controller. Locking up half the speed behind a 200 dollar accessory and not telling us before we buy it left a bad taste in my mouth. I love the drone, just think it should be faster with the motion controller.
No you can‘t. motion controller is NOTHING compared to manual mode, believe me!! I needed 30 hours to learn to fly manuel, but man is it worth it!! use dji flight simulator!!
WTF is wrong with signal????
69th 👍
Nice
No u can’t
