IS THE DJI AVATA 2 SPEED LIMITED?

- I've been seeing some comments lately that indicate the top speed of the DJI Avata 2 might be limited. The speculation is the top speed of the CE version of the drone is lower than the FCC version.

That dip out when dropping into your own propwash is called washout and can be tuned out via PID tuning, if possible on that unit :)
Thanks, yes unfortunately you cant PID tune the Avata, it's a bit of a shame. The best way I think to mitigate is to fly smoother and bear this in mind when flying this aircraft.😁
Nice flying man! Bloody love this drone. Done a couple of videos myself. Had to get the RC3 straight away, couldn’t wait 😅
Funktioniert es auch mit einem RC2?

Nice first manual flight, I got out today as well for the first time in ages with my Avata 1 it was great fun.
All interesting will you keep the avata 1?
Wow I’m absolutely amazed by your great FPV flying ability in this video! Wow! I just bought the DJI FPV controller 3 which I’ll only start flying slowly with after developing proper skills by practicing a lot with flight simulators before hand! I purchased the Avata 2 fly combo which is arriving in a few days! ❤️❤️ I live north of Montreal Quebec Canada where we have FCC so i know in manual mode I’ll be able to fly it super fast! I have the Mini 3 Pro and Mavic 3 for almost 2 years so I’m good in camera drone flying but I know that FPV flying skills is on a much more higher challenging level! I’ll do all the proper steps to help build up my FPV skills! This will be my first FPV flying so I’m aware of the risks and the proper educational process to be able to do it!
*andy thank you for this wonderfully sublime video - really great flying. i'm wondering where that is in UK . . . the fields/scenery are outstanding. thx again for sharing your flying vid with us!*
Nice flying, Andy! Looks great 👌
Im looking at buying one you explained about things i would have never known about cheers mate very good information 👍 👌
Great info Andy - thank you! As others have said, a video on FCC unlock (which file you're using etc) and HAM licencing would be really helpful. I've started doing some research and it appears that I'd need a Full UK Amateur Radio License to legitimately use the FCC unlock file. Is that your understanding of the law?
I am finding when I give the drone full throttle it just rises up fast ? Do I need it in manual mode to be able to tilt the fpc direction up or down ?
Hi, is there a acro mode height limit like the original dji fpv did? or can you go up to 120 m in acro? cheers
That was so cool! How it has a letter "H" as a overlay on the video showing the home location. It's small litle features like that that make certain brands a step above...
lol this has been a thing for many years
if you know proficient drone pilots, it would be nice to see what your avata 2 is capable of in their hands in fpv mode
douche
If you do update the drone using the ham file hack can you revert it back after or are you stuck with it now always being at the higher speed?
Also are there any tutorials anywhere for how to do the hack? Thanks.
A review just the way I like it! How is the bitrate of the camera? Seems like it has some bad moments during flight
Awesome video! I was wondering about this exact thing and nobody has yet done a video showcasing the actual max speed in manual. Please do a video on how to setup the FCC unlock and in general about the ham licensing. Such a video would be a miracle for all the CE Avata 2 users.
In Europe the speed limit in manual mode is 19 m/s
@@HenkHeeftEenTank is it not limited in us?
@@loganwolverine8105 in USa ou in Us
@@loganwolverine8105 FCC (in US) is 27 m/s (60mph)
@@HenkHeeftEenTank this limit has to do with the C1 label the drone has in the EU.
Start stop button does not work, right?
doesn't seem to wooble crash like 1 but still gives hints on them 180's
I had trouble turning on the drone / goggles for a while because I was double pressing too quickly. Press once, let the lights turn on, then press and hold. Definitely feels like they changed that up
The 4k of the Avata 2 looks very nice!
That close call at 13:07 was awesome! I flinched when I saw tree come into perspective. :)
how far can you fly it manually before it cuts off from the controller? whats the distance roughly? 2km?
The lack of a manual mode is one thing that kept me from pursuing DJI. I have never flown FPV except in a simulator like Liftoff. Although I did buy a beta FPV but never used the goggles because I could not use glasses. It was basically indoor line of sight and not really FBV without the goggles. I always wanted to start with something like DJI that has all the babysitters. But wanted to progress to manual. Then maybe build my own,
How does it work with line if sight , if your wearing goggles flying low fast
I'm wondering if the speed restriction thing has to do with the U.S. version of the drone vs. the UK version...
Hi Andy. Great video!
Can you tell me which level of ham radio licence is required to use FCC legally in the U.K. please ?
None.
i got the mini 2 se. i live in north east USA and i dont know any good large fields to play in, that would be like the farms. i would like to try one of these out. on the part 107 test it says on FPVs not allowed to go more than 100mph.
u do great job! keep on testing..
Can you use head tracking in manual mode?
guys what is CE and FCC?
Can somebody tell me. I am kind of new you know.
Great video and tune! 🎉 also insane Geoengineering of the UK continues.
Great video! I'm waiting for my controller 3. I'm in FCC mode in the US and did the hamm file! It doesn't seem like drone is going anywhere near 60mph with the motion controller. What are the opinions on this!??
It doesn't do 60mph with the motion controller, only in manual with the FPV controller 3
@@andykirby controller 3 is being delivered Wednesday! But have to be careful with this drone. If you break that frame it's all over. This is probably a drone to have the insurance for
@@andykirbythank you! I was wondering why it didn’t feel anywhere close to 60 😂 I got mine last week (I’m in Canada) and have been enjoying the joy toy controller (this is my first drone and I’ve only ever done a simulator with my radio master boxer) so I’m a bit nervous to use the fpv controller 😅 I’ll give it a shot next weekend tho! See if it does 100kmh in manual mode 😉
I*ncredible video quality! And it sure is snappy- if it is speed restricted.....would love seeing how it rips without the governor/ minus the restrictions...
Is yours missing the foam insert for the googles?
Hope they get the DJI RC2 (w screen) in the future to work with the avata2. They both use O4 as a link. Goggles work just one more to add.
Has it got good collision avoidance?
I've read that the speed limit is 19m/sec in the EU (68.4 km/h), and it's independent of CE/FCC mode. Is that true? So in manual mode the max speed is limited from 97km/h to 68.4 km/h?
in FRANCE low power not only the speed limit , low power for acceleration etc alway in max on the stick .... 😞 hack dont unlock the speed/power limit
@@did3d523so should i buy the avata 2 in eu or not?
@@SwonTwon it seems that hack "ham" work finaly need to try
The speed is limited to 19m/s to comply with C1 aircraft restrictions. If you modify the software, you are likely flying illegally.
Did you update the drone firmware before putting the ham file in? I've got mine not updated, I'm scared to update it incase the ham doesn't work anymore 😊
Yeah I did all the updates. It should be fine :-)
So they've finally made something that can keep up with the Phantom2 ?
Great video Ty Andy 👊🏻 never had a drone but might get this 😏😏😏 14:01
11:53 Nice flying, even nice music. Where can I listen to it other than this video?
That was yaw wash out. DJI still don't really know how to pid tune yaw for more authority.
Looks like. The DJI Avata 2 seems not to be build for manual acro either. Sadly DJI pit tune cannot be improved manually and DJI failed to fix it on the Avata 1.
yes, thats absolutely yaw washout, its why it freaks out on a hard yaw maneuver, but its not really able to be tuned out with a drone has such a poor power to weight ratio... dji has always used garbage cheap motors, but at least it doesn't just drop out of the sky like the first one originally did, i think thats about as good as these will get for the most part, i'm sure there will be some fine tuning updates, but will still do it in unskilled hands, just something to learn how to minimize with stick input, at least until they go for a less consumer styling and go to more hobby style, but i figure those will be very expensive pro cinawhoop lifters for pros instead of pro-sumer type made for just anybody to fly
Could you show us some DIVING VIDEOs as thats what I really want to do a lot with this drone.
Does the FCC hack work?
Ive done it today with ham file but be ware do not update your dji googles 3 keep it on old firmware. You can update the controller 3 and Avata 2 but leave googles and Ham file will work with 3 channels instead of 1 😊
Andy What Is Your Star Sign ? Great Chanel 😊
Mine doesn’t fly this fast at all wth lol I have the fpv 3 controller what am I missing. I cap out at about 35 mph
What are your sunglasses called. I really like them
I talked to DJI and ask how that Speed Limitation works. It’s controlled by GPS. If the drone recognises that it’s in the EU it’s switched automatically to the slow setting and outside to the fast setting.
Wow! Cars don't even do that!.... yet!
Yes that's correct. It's an EU EASA regulations and rules only thing even noticed in the most underrated publication of all times my little mother says 😂❤🎉
@@andykirbyit's about being EU EASA regulations and rules compliant on C1 class UAVs my little mother says 😂❤️😱
Crazy times!
hack dont work for speed in France 😞
Goggles 3 can broadcast over wifi? I see the Avata 2 in the networks list with the goggles 2, but it needs a password I don't have. I tried 12341234 and that did not work. But the Goggles 3 does not show up in the wifi networks list even with broadcast on. Would love to see a demonstration of the Goggles 3 broadcast ability. Maybe I should be asking DJI. That controller is the exact same thing as my DJI FPV 2 controller minus the antenna. They better make the FPV Controller 2 compatible with the Avata 2 with a firmware update as I've heard they might. I'm already annoyed I have to bring 2 pairs of Goggle on my next trip.
Looks awesome! That power loop was close 😆
It was a bit 🤣
So even though in Manual mode the angle of roll and yaw can still be limited and not go full full acro mode ? Thanks mate
you can limit it or just turn it off for full acro.
Can you invert the pitch? I have a mini 3 pro and it boils my brain that I can't invert pitch to match pilot joystick controls
Hi, all drones will nose up when you pull back on the pitch control. They fly a bit like helicopters. The problem is most drones lock the horizon by using the camera gimble to conteract the pitch giving the impression that the drone stays level when you pitch forward to move forward. Also the flight controller maintains altitude for you again counteracting the forward pitch when looking through the camera.
The Avata 2 is an FPV drone so horizon lock is turned off and it's possible to pitch and roll 360 degrees.
You can actually put the mini 3 pro in FPV mode (in the camera settings) it'll turn horizon lock off and it'll feel like you are flying an FPV drone (with limitations)
Hope this helps.
Am I reading this right? So, at full throttle and 60% charge left, the estimated run time is 2 and a half minutes? That means if you're full throttling this thing non stop, the run time is just over 5 minutes???
I don't know what you know about FPV drone but 5 minutes at full throttle is extremely long! In a lot of handmade kwad you can only count that in seconds 😅
what about testing the ce version? so we see if its limited?
I'm starting to think it is actually in CE mode or at least the standard version for UK.., I did the mod and breifly saw the channels change but others are reporting it does nothing... more testing needed.
Are you saying you can't fly manual mode with the joystick they sell it with?
Yep
Awesome drown. love the video off the drown. very nice 4K . 73's
are you sure about being in FCC? Can you manually select frequency/channels?
Not allowed in the UK, even with a ham license.
"get your stick to basically go up and down without springing back into the centre"
What a great location.
It seems that they didn't fix the tumble issue 08:26 that's really sucks
what sim are you using on the SteamDeck?
Uncrashed 👍🏻
1:20 does the antenna symbol on the front of the controller not telll tell signs of internal antennas?
Yes, point is there's no "external antenna"
Thanks for videos, quite useful.
Is it worth skipping Avatar 0.1 for first timer before plunging into full acro fpv/cinewhoop?
Want to see what happens when you go to normal mode whilst upside down… does it recover or crash
Yeah will likely just right itself.
Great video..... but the sky!!!!
Sadly im in EU and this speed limit is a dealbreaker for me. I was almost driving to dji store to buy avata 2 but just before that i found out that in eu its almost as slow as my old mini 2. 19m/s vs 27m/s for the same price is a joke. If you modded yours to fcc mode, your warrenty+dji care are gone?
It turns out the FCC mod doesn't actually work, i thought it did because the range of this drone is very very good but maybe UK has a different version as we are not in EU. As you see mine does 60mph, I feel sorry for the EU users if that's the case. I'm sure someone will figure out a hack soon, it's crazy...
@@andykirbyyeah you guys had Brexit so you are clear from the EU Regulation Nonsense
Thank God we left the EU and don't have Drone Speed limits lol
Avata 1 is so more fun in manual, Avata 2 sucks in EU, don't buy when you want fly manual for now !!!!
@@danielkuca3201 drone tweak works
That camera quality is immense mate. Waiting for some backwards compatibility for my other gear before i pick one up, but its great seeing a lot of people having fun with the Avata2 👍
Top speed limiter is for EASA countries only, which is EU and a few more, like Norway, Switzerland etc
yes limited here in France the hack change nothing for the speed limit 😒
Exactly
@@did3d523 Did you actually try it? I am reading from a few sources about UK drone laws and all of them seem to state that the top speed there of a C1 drone, which the Avata 2 is labeled as, is 19m/s (just like in EU). Im only not certain if DJI enforces it in the UK as it does in EU, but I would think so. If so - the proper hack shown in the video should lift the speed restriction in EU countries as well. I havent found it myself yet so cant validate.
@@Joro379 I waiting my order I will receve it tomorow ... but I read some people in France who said that not unlock the low power mode CE only the range is unlock
@@did3d523 From what I read about other drone hacks - it makes the drone think its in USA so should also lift the speed limit. I am trying to get my hands on the hack and we will see.
You live in uk so no speed limit...
Andy just out of interest is there anything you don't flog maybe you could put together a video that combines keyboards, e-bikes, radios, drones and anything i may have missed out.
It's nice that you can use FCC mode with just a text file. Because of this I might buy this drone
Doesnt help, speed is gps limited. It is slow as mini 2 in EU.
@lauril9043 yeah I heard from another reviewer :( I'll skip this one
@@jeroenvdw Seems to be fixed now, its possible to remove speed limit in EU.
Ham file doesn't work on the UK Avata 2 / Goggles 3 (CE) so you're still testing in CE mode Andy. Unless you've used the Drone Tweaks paid app.
8:25 & 13:40 Thank you, earned a new sub
I hope DJI releases the 04 air unit soon. I need it in my gprc mark 5 now😮
I know right?!
11:49 I love this track andy what’s it’s called ❤I would like to buy it
When you're showing video of the HUD on screen...is that exactly the video quality you are seeing through the goggles?
I’m pretty sure it is. I have the DJI FPV and my goggles show 1080p live im pressure sure
@@RealNaisuCinema Confirmed. I purchased one and it's just like that.
03:13 no you cannot ,the protocol should be open. Occusync is not an open protocol is a proprietary to DJI(i am a licensed amateur radio operator as well).
Where do i get the fcc mod in th uk
Search for goggles 2 FCC ham mod and follow the same instructions.
@@andykirby
👍👍
whno kmh?
Sweet!
The controller does not use goggles to fly. Antenna is now the large grey block.
Looking at the teardowns the general consensus is that the remote controller has a low power bluetooth connection to the goggles and the goggles provides the RC control link alongside the video link.
🙌🙌
nice vid!
Max Horizontal Speed
(near sea level, no wind)
8 m/s (Normal mode)
16 m/s (Sport mode)
27 m/s (Manual mode)*
* No faster than 19 m/s with the Manual mode in the EU regions. This is from the official DJI website.
and because of the speed limitation in EU i will NOT buy the avata 2. sucks so bad, drone is fire but EU sucks
@@kabutze3312 Same, i was almost driving to store to buy one but glad i checked reddit before. Speed is GPS limited in EU.
@@kabutze3312100%
I just got one and im going to do whatever you did to goto 50mph/60mph
You are correct that the remote connects to the goggles.
HOW MUCH!!!!!???
strange thing is called prop wash
Thank you for showing the beans to this! Way too many reviewers only show basic flights... Keep these videos coming! I would love to learn power loops etc...
MY DREAM BRO 😔😔
Compare it with the Mavrik mini.
What's the max distance???
They report over 10 kilometres (6 miles) but that’s no obstruction. I’ve had mine on the far side of a forest about 2km away with decent video quality!
Why are you saying FCC Hack ?
Moves for what it is 👍
So the fcc hack works with avata 2????????
in EU works only for signal, not speed limit :(
63mph?
can it change to mode 1 ?
one more question: when flying can you change gimbal angle? thanks.
Yes and yes👍🏻
If you take into account what the flight time of that thing is, 60mph is not bad.
Yes exactly!
No way a Dji is faster than mine fpv drone😂
That looks fun..imagine what Militarys have
😮
where are you from? UK? then it's not EU any more...
