You can enable headtracking when you use the motion controller. Uses the drone's physical yaw axis and the camera tilt to achieve that. You can get some interesting shots using that feature.
Ken I had the same issue with the goggle sensor menu dohicky thingy with 2 fingers, SD card slot and getting the battery out but I really really like it.
DJI Avata is a very tough FPV drone, I have an Avata and it fell into a pool more than 1.5 meters deep for more than 1 minute, and it wasn't damaged or short-circuited... After it sank, everything went normally until now, I have a video of the sinking..
Have the original mini, but probably enjoy flying in sports mode for the love of flying more than the cinematic ( have clocked it doing 45 kph ( 28 mph), in a nor west tail wind!). So, been thinking of FPV since, but have a 'wife error' message popup everytime I try to buy. The Avata is close to what I don't know what I want, but haven't found quite what I need it to be, to want enough and to override the ' wife error ' logic error... Still waiting, still wanting...
Can the motion controller "strafe" fly sideways or can it only go forward in the direction its camera is pointing? Yes I know about tank turret mode where it uses the goggles to "look". But can the motion controller fly sideways?
Nice to see Barkley on the video. Nice flight at the Parthenon again. Will buy soon not sure about manual. Tried it Simulator and couldn’t get it down.
First Thanks to Barkley for letting us play with his Avata, your awesome man. Ken turned out great buddy, my Avata is ordered and at some point DJI may even let me know when it's coming. Can't wait what a capable little flyer. Such fun!
im using a sandisk extreme plus 128g sd card in drone it records for 3.32s then restarts a new file so i get 3 files per flight. am i not using the right sd card?
Hey, just curious about your ghost hunting videos. Some of the links in the descriptions to your night vision camera arnt working. Just curious what camera you would use!
Great video, I have been flying my Mavic zoom around with Dji RE goggles for a couple of years loving the immersion experience of fpv. I am not a tinkerer and builder so was put off the regular fpv drones & the full acro/manual seemed difficult. So my gateway drug is on order soon, I will be one of the cool kids with my lanyard flying in the wind.
You know you can use the FPV Goggles V2 instead of the new Goggles 2, and fly without wearing them. Old goggles also give better range and penetration. And who doesn't like better penetration. But the Goggles 2 have head tracking. You need to try that. Turn your head you get yaw; and it will fight with the motion controller for yaw control, so don't tilt the controller while turning your head. Tilt head up and down just makes the gimbal go up and down. I was pleasantly surprised that I received my AVANTA package in Lebanon TN just 3 days after I ordered it.
I’m sure the new goggles 2 look phenomenal, but it’s too bad you can’t use glasses. For those of us with astigmatism, we will never be able to see the screen clearly. 😢
They old goggles absolutely have worse penatration even with upgraded antennas. Nurk and others have tested this. New goggles are definitely better for penatration on the avata or even old air units and vistas.
Does DJI or 3rd party make a larger , softer face mask to fit these new Goggles? Is there a custom button that will make putting it in manual mode easier ??
I had a nerve severed in my right arm and have limited used of my hand. Ive got this on order im so excited to start doing this. It sucks it takes a month to get it from DJI.
hi Ken. bought DJI Avata this weekend. I haven't been able to fly yet, it's really bad weather. but luckily dji has a simulator. take advantage of that to gain some experience. do fly the Mavic 3 and mini 3 pro. definitely don't use that Motion controller. just the FPV controller. they have all been sold out in the Netherlands. have a 2nd Hand that works fine. understand all too well that fristyle users absolutely do not want these. it is perfect for the inexperienced FPV pilot like me
So.. i took your recommendation seriously, and gave it a try. In my second try i was chasing mountain bikers, suddenly lost my signal on the goggles and i could just see pixels. So i crashed😂 Where can i send you the footage for your next compilation? Lmao Ps. The drone is just fine - nothing happend Oh and because my english isnt that great i need to say my first line was sarcasm… lol
For those of us who already have the DJI FPV, our DJI FPV Remote Controller 2 works with both. I also think, at some point, DJI will open up the DJI Goggles 2 to work with other drones.
Hi Ken. I looked on eBay and currently some scalper is trying to get $380 bucks for the controller 2 and Amazon a scalper has risen the price up to $250 bucks, not necessarily new from reviews. I’ll just wait till DJI gets some in. 😅
Hey Johhny, yes the controller 2 prices have changed quite a bit. DJI doesn't have any at the moment, but they have it at 179. Just insane what a few days did with those prices. I should have odered mine last week.
@@KenHeron I think I’ll be ordering one that evening 🤣🤣🤞🏻🤞🏻. Got a few doubts about the motion controller, but we’ll see how tomorrow goes! Thanks for the reply 👍🏻
The most fun review! I’m excited to see all the montage created by DJI Avata. Seems to capture unique angles and more thrilling shots. Plus the fpv experience would be really fun!!!
Indeed the best TH-camr on this planet with a lovely heart it's ken heron love the comedy makes us happy love and most respect for you from adil you lovely subscriber from Pakistan 😍🇵🇰♥️
just got mine yesterday. i got to say i do love the goggles after i put on all my upgrades they will be soso amazing. i do like the motion controller for flying this drone with head tracking on. if they make this backwards compatible with the old vista and air units this will be 100% a beautiful upgrade. cant wait for the 03 air unit to put on a real drone lol
I am so butt hurt I might need butt surgery to save my butt. 😅 1st time I get no manual controller and no storage bag 💼 and only 1 battery 🪫 with the purchase. Not enough cables to charge my butt I mean the controller, goggles, and the drone battery at the same time, butt I really love this drone and have to wait a month for a good butt controller 2. It butt’r be worth it. Love your channel Ken. Question: how does anyone know how to pull the video off the 20 gig storage unit on the drone itself and how to access it? I feel a little dumb on this because on my Air 2s and Mini 2 I never had this much trouble. Thanks again, Ken. 🎉
Fast forward and Ken has no friends to lend him a drone or any one to take kens suggestions 😂 But lots of past fun videos that he can honestly say he stress tested 😉
Catching up on fpv laws etc and curious if you had a recommendation for best site to easily read what fpv has to follow? Does it completely follow all part 107 or does fpv have exceptions of any sort?
Of all the drone influencers, DJI really should support you. You've shown a lot of their products over the years. I do enjoy your content. Thanks for putting it out there.
After ALL that, the most amazing thing was Barkley packin...... WOW.... (still note to self, DO NOT LET KEN DROP, FLIP, BOUNCE, SPIN OR TOUCH YOUR DRONE)
If you lost the transmission going around that pillared building, your Loss of Signal RTH would have kicked in and the drone would have slammed into the roof and crashed.
Hey Ken it's philip jenkins happy labor day so I got in touch with dollywood and they told me no drones r allowed in the park just letting you know sorry bro I tried
Your friend has the patience of a saint to let you throw around his brand new drone like that XD
Barkley is one of a kind. 👍
$199.00 from dji

1 thing i learn about this video is dont let a bunch of old guys hang around with duck tape. they will get some crazy ideas.
You're right. You can update at home. No update needed, but almost always it's neeeded out in the field.
i wonder if theres a way to use eye tracking and head tracking to increase accessibility for the handicapped.
you should try the headtracking using the motion controller its use for flying sideways or starfing left and right using the motion controller
I was absolutely waiting for you to review this!!! I wouldn't even think of getting it until Ken reviewed it
Can the motion controller "strafe" fly sideways or can it only go forward in the direction its camera is pointing? Yes I know about tank turret mode where it uses the goggles to "look". But can the motion controller fly sideways?
The SOB at 4:33 is amazing. Am I allowed to sample that clip Ken?
Have at it! 🤣
Nice to see Barkley on the video. Nice flight at the Parthenon again. Will buy soon not sure about manual. Tried it Simulator and couldn’t get it down.

Ive been looking forward to your review on this Ken! Im also super stoked to buy this new DJI avata so lets see what ya gotta say!

I have never seen you not smile, I love your vibes!

They old goggles absolutely have worse penatration even with upgraded antennas. Nurk and others have tested this. New goggles are definitely better for penatration on the avata or even old air units and vistas.
You can do video in and out through the USB c you can even stream video and audio to it because it’s got a speaker
Will it fly backwards?
Does DJI or 3rd party make a larger , softer face mask to fit these new Goggles? Is there a custom button that will make putting it in manual mode easier ??
Yes.
No.
Ive been waiting for you to review this - I know you were negative on the original DJI FPV so wanted to know how the Avata stacked up
Im loving the collab in this one Ken.
Hey is that Home Depot crate you back pack 😳
I had a nerve severed in my right arm and have limited used of my hand. Ive got this on order im so excited to start doing this. It sucks it takes a month to get it from DJI.

Congrats!
Yes, the motion controller is BS.
How does the camera perform in low light conditions? Would it be a good SWAT drone for indoor tactical use in the dark?
Do you think its possible with the motion controller to follow a downhill biker through a trail?
Yes, with practice.
@@KenHeron ok. Thank you very much for youre response.
So.. i took your recommendation seriously, and gave it a try.

🤦🤣😂🤣. Poor Barkley! To funny, you guys are such clowns, love it!! Looks like a blast, can't wait to pick mine up tomorrow 😉😁
littlee upset theres no High Media Definition Interface 😞
Didn't set the gain and expo tab.
Great comparison honestly. I have been looking at cinewhoops. Have you tried the Avata indoors?
It's great indoors. Noisy as hell, but a good flier.
Loved the video. 😎👍That controller is currently over $250 on eBay for a new one. 🤣 Fortunately I had a spare.
Hey Johhny, yes the controller 2 prices have changed quite a bit. DJI doesn't have any at the moment, but they have it at 179. Just insane what a few days did with those prices. I should have odered mine last week.
I’m trying someone’s Avata tomorrow. Excited 👏👏👏
You'll love it
@@KenHeron I think I’ll be ordering one that evening 🤣🤣🤞🏻🤞🏻. Got a few doubts about the motion controller, but we’ll see how tomorrow goes! Thanks for the reply 👍🏻
What causes this drone to be so loud ????
The small, fast motors.
notification gang🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Excellent Video On The Avata, and The New Goggles. Thank You Ken, Barkley, and Other Friend.
The funniest! Greatly enjoyed watching this video. I’m always skeptic to fly an fpv drone but DJI Avata seems to make it possible for me.
Just got my mini 3 pro shooting off the coast of palos verdes cali. Youre hillarious man
Thanks Omar
I would get one but having a spotter is a pain for me. No one says anything about that.
You can lock the touchpad sir
The most fun review! I’m excited to see all the montage created by DJI Avata. Seems to capture unique angles and more thrilling shots. Plus the fpv experience would be really fun!!!
Wow awesome video good stuff Ken I like that new drone of yours
Don’t really need to fly on manual mode just yet so the Motion Controller plus the DJI Avata would be an awesome duo for now!
Damn...I watched just one video
...I LOVE this channel.
Yes...I subscribed.
Thank you!
How come no one ever does a “real” penetration test? Where you fly the drone directly at an object or building to see how well it penetrates?
Nurk has done a penatration test. Goggles 2 are better then the old v2 goggles on avata.
Indeed the best TH-camr on this planet with a lovely heart it's ken heron love the comedy makes us happy love and most respect for you from adil you lovely subscriber from Pakistan 😍🇵🇰♥️
🇵🇰👍
That was a great video. I’m really thinking about getting the Avata. Thanks for sharing this with us.
You betcha.
Wait.. you are in Nashville? me too!
🤓👍
Good video Ken and and for giving us a lot of fun.
You can fly it without the googles, as long as you have the goggles connected to a secondary monitor like a phone or tablet,
Ken you’re a great pilot! I’m impressed! I gotta have an Avata!
🤓👍
Does DJI avata work without goggles?
Yes.
just got mine yesterday. i got to say i do love the goggles after i put on all my upgrades they will be soso amazing. i do like the motion controller for flying this drone with head tracking on. if they make this backwards compatible with the old vista and air units this will be 100% a beautiful upgrade. cant wait for the 03 air unit to put on a real drone lol
Great video, I can not believe you blew up Russ like that.
🤣🤣
Wow, Ken liked it, he really liked it!
It has its appeal for the goto and go. Great content and sarcasm 👏 👌 💯
My mini 2 has fallen a lot further than a foot off the table and been fine
Tough Drone
Nurk fpv just announced that the new goggles are gonna be backwards compatible with other systems
Great!
Come to knoxville ken let's make a video of Keruig Dr. Pepper's plant
I'll do it!

Use a cable into your computer
@@KenHeron Okay. I been trying to run it to my phone. I will totally try that. Thank you so much, Ken!
Ken ypu and your friends are a ton of laughs! Cheers guys!
Did I just really see a guy holding a FPV drone so that he can use it as his video camera to video the Avata landing
It's easier than removing the GoPro.
Oh
That SD placement.. WTH DJI???
Right!
Great review, but perhaps a biiiit much arsing about
for trying a new drone in such a public space.
Barkley looks enthusiastic!! 🤣🤣
🤣
Great honest review.
Fast forward and Ken has no friends to lend him a drone or any one to take kens suggestions 😂
But lots of past fun videos that he can honestly say he stress tested 😉
The DJI avoidance system works amazing!!! It makes me avoid every DJI product there is!
🤣🤣🤣
was that a SIG ??? your friend has the patience but AVATA is gonna be all right !!!
i love these kids
"In-A-Gadda-D-AVATA baby"
DJI AVATA ... COOLLLL
This dads grup crack me up ... i bet they are friend from childhood like stranger things. 0
Your awsome, great videos.
Glad you like them!
DJI doesn't sell you the controller on any package just the motion controller, so yea I'm gonna pass this one and get the mini 3 perhaps
The best review ever 😂😂
Put me on the list...future owner 🤷🏻♂️
You can yaw with your head
The Goggles 2 seem pretty good. Too bad about no HDMI.
Your visual observer sounds like buzz killington hahaha
Catching up on fpv laws etc and curious if you had a recommendation for best site to easily read what fpv has to follow? Does it completely follow all part 107 or does fpv have exceptions of any sort?
The FAA doesn't make a distinction or have any exceptions for FPV drones, but it should.
really nice but the price is just ridiculous
Super cool 😎🤝

Glad I watched.
I like my speedy Bee 🐝 Bluetooth USB adapter and I am interested in their products so thank you Ken.
I appreciate it.
Great video 📹
If you lost the transmission going around that pillared building, your Loss of Signal RTH would have kicked in and the drone would have slammed into the roof and crashed.
Cool!
I liked and comment just for the tittle :D
Interesting video tho
Aqui no Brasil e muito caro😢😭 e um sonho!!! parabéns pelo vídeo!😊👍
Can’t believe it doesn’t come with a controller. Deal breaker for me.
Yeah.
Hey Ken it's philip jenkins happy labor day so I got in touch with dollywood and they told me no drones r allowed in the park just letting you know sorry bro I tried
Well dang.
