#DJI #AVATA #captaindrone
As a 737 pilot, it's good to hear the impression from a helicopter pilot! Hope Peter can introduce many helicopter maneuvers or flying characteristics in the future. Also your channel is really unique because I never see any channel with seniors flying the drones or RC planes out there.
Peter is certainly an excellent drone pilot. He comes to our field to join us 5 days a week.
Try xjet if you want to see old guys flying drones and planes. He’s a great guy as far as information goes, he’s actually a great font of knowledge on drones and planes and his friends are funny too. I think you’ll like what you see. He actually has 2 channels, but I can’t remember what his other one is.
@@davidreynolds8551 Thanks! I will take a look.
Damn said seniors.. ouch. Damn I thought he still seemed young 🤣
fully agree,so nice to see the older guys doing fpv flying and keeping mentally sharp . very impressive scene. salute.!!
Thanks for a great and most importantly a real review on the Avata.
Most TH-camrs are payd and just love DJI.and are not honest on their review
So tx Steve...
Well said mate 🤘🤝
That noise though 😱
Love your vids so much Steve ✊🤗
About the motion controller. I fly in FCC mode, which you will, and have had no issues what you describe with interference. CE is a different matter. The battery , just put an FPV battery strap around.The avata is a Great drone.
Thank you very much, Steven. You are the only one who offers multiple views from other flyers, very much appreciate it 🙂.
You’re most welcome
If you look at those pins very closely when the batteries disconnected on the drone there’s a cross in the center of the pins another words you could open it. it’s splayed. You could stick a very thin sharp screwdriver in there and open the prongs just a little bit so the plug will not fall out
You are one of the best reviewer,s on the tube we are lucky to have you.Im a newbie. You tell it like it is no bull just fact.thank you for being you.
Thank you
Why I really enjoyed this channel, is because the vlog or review are always social, happy interaction between flyers
Good afternoon I saw all 3 videos about the new avatar and I was surrendered, I will have to buy one, I have the DJI FPV fpv flight for some time with pure fpv drones and I really like to fly with both, I was surprised by this Mr. considerable age fly fpv, I loved it my dear Canadian, big hug 🤗
Oh my god the sound that thing makes 😱😱.
Just bought it and love it.I am a beginner so loving every minute .thank for info though.
Thanks for covering the glitch. I expect DJI to put out a firmware quickly. That's scary if you happen to be flying high.
So to recap regarding your concerns with the drone:
1. The fit and finish of the goggles can be fixed eventually with third party foam.
2. The battery popping out could be fixed with some form of velcro strap to the fram preventing the battery from moving but easy to detatch when swapping batteries.
3. Motion controller - Hope DJI releases a bundle w/ just the FPV controller but otherwise just buy the FPV controller separately.
4. Regarding the drone freaking out while flying, wait for a firmware/software update.
Luckily these all seem like things that can be fixed and not a physical issue that would need some form of recall to fix.
All DJI drones, since the dawn of DJI, have glitches in them, and it always takes a minimum of six months before all is corrected to the point where glitches are almost unnoticeable in daily use.
If I make it to 81, I would be happy if I looked as good as Peter , and out there flying like he is. I liked hearing how everyone felt about the Avata, and the goggles.
Many thanks Captain for posting; might hold off until a few of the "Bugs" are sorted with a Firmware update; good to see Mr Owley keeping a close eye on the Garden proceedings !!!!
Excellent idea, to include in the video the opinions from other experienced drone pilots,so to get a more close to reality review.👍👍👍
Been waiting for Dji store to ship my Avata so I've been watching alot of reviews. So far it's very minor negatives and all positives have been common needs for flyers. I'm really excited and anxious to finally get my Avata. Fixed my fpv after a hard crash. So I have the goggles and controllers so im ready!!!
Great chase sequence helped make an excellent video intro; kind of like a movie trailer. Well done on that intro!
Wonderful interview with Peter; wow I bet he has some stories to tell. Awesome to see him flying a Pedal Turn and to get his first impressions of the Avata drone and goggles 👍👍
Sold my Mavic Mini, moving onto the Avata. I am very excited. The mavic mini was too slow and boring for me and I ended up not really using it. I’m hoping this will bring back the joy that I had when I first started flying drones. My my FPV drone flew away on me forever when I first started, it made me give up. Ready to start back up again with Avata. I’m so happy I can afford it under 1,000.
Mini 2 can be fun in sport mode But yeah cinema drones are a different characteristic much safer
Nice to see a frank review of this thing that doesn't . before buying (if I buy...), i will simply see if some of these issues get resolved. The Battery connection, and loss of control seem like priority fixes to me.Personnaly; I may just wait to see how the HDZero ecosystem develops. ...anyway; this is a fantastic series of 3 videos. keep up the great work.!!
Thanks captain, you're the best!!
Captain Drone, I saw a youtuber use a battery strap horizontally on the frame to battery, which will help from battery popping out.
Hopefully by the time I’m able to afford it they’ll have fixed any problems with it. But otherwise I’d probably use it mainly as a cinematic video drone in mainly sport mode. Sure it’s not true fpv drone capable, but it’s a good attempt by dji and I like it. As far as the face fitment goes, I’m sure that if dji doesn’t come up with an extra foam piece goes, someone else will.
Excelent drone
Great videos as always ! Cheers - Love your channel ! 🇨🇦❤️👍
Thank you
I had the same issue with my Avata, switching from Manual to Normal mode by it self and quite random, yes and also loosing control, free falling and such. Funny enough I just needed to calibrate IMU, it seams just fine now :). Avata is grate little pusher.
i was going through all comments to see if anyone else had that issue. and am so glad the imu fixed it. hope it works for captain drone too. Thanks Dobrisa for sharing
IMU calibrate helps? Thanks god that i see this comment!
@@vrkttr Did the calibration work for you?
@@devinparker2130 Nope, not for me..
Wish I could say the same for the mini 2
great video, i'm not sure what it brings for me to like it but i like seeing the interaction with the other guys and listening to their opinions. Not that i was very keen but after those issues, i think it will most certainly be a pass, and if i were to buy an fpv from dji i'd go with the fpv
Very nice video Captain as always
My sense is goggles are like shoes and it's always helpful if you can try them on before buying!
Great video very informative and true facts review. I like it very much good job captain 👍🙂
Love your reviews. Drone’s okay but not the best.
I tryd the avata from a neighbour 3 times, In my sense (just have a dji pro and a mini2) this was very fast! Experiance is awesome! Now.. your experiance.. should I buy an dji avata or a dji FPV? I love the goggle experiance! much more than lookin on a screen from my iphone..
Excellent Review Video On The Avata. Thank You.
Thanks for checking it out
I have seen guys from Vietnam totally crushing arma.
That glitch kind of looks like a motor desync issue. On betalight quadcopters I think they call it the desync death roll or something similar.
Is this a software or a hardware issue?
@@JamesBond-qv2ht ESC timing configuration... so yes it's firmware... which means you have to wait for DJI if you don't want to crash.
I love my FPV. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I'm going to get the avata but not to replace my FPV just to have it as another drone.
It's not fast enough to do my plane chases. But I figure it is fast enough to do my chases on the ground. I recently did a chase video of UATV's in the desert. The avada would have been perfect for that particular mission. But DJI hasn't shipped mine yet.
Tnx...il wait on buying unthill they upgrade it some more...bigg like..keep on
I also had similar complaints about the V2 Goggles until I got the foam ones. I'm sure they will have new one for the Goggles 2 soon. But even with the issues on the Goggles 2, I unlike most people really like them. I forget about the blurry edges soon after I take off. Thanks for the video.
Do you have any problems with fogging? I live in steamy Florida and have concerns about this after watching some other videos.
@@kurtzFPV there is an internal fan. It removes any fog ups… so far.
@@kurtzFPV I am up in Washington state so I have not had the fogging issue. OriginaldoBo had a horrible day with fogging on one of his flights. He is also in Florida I think. Some complaints say there is no fan but like the Capt. said there is and I hear mine on hot days. The blurry edges are a bit frustrating when going through the settings but the clarity when you fly through trees is a definite improvement. Most likely with all the complaints I can see an update happening to fix the blurry issues. When I first got the V2s I was disappointed at first, but after adjustments, new foam and piecing a my own nose bridge together with foam scraps it is now perfect for me. The drone is loud but I absolutely love it. Handles soooo much better than the DJI FPV in tight places and quick turning. Both have their uses though. I have no regrets getting the Avata.
@@WindRiderPNW @𝒦ℯ𝓃 ℋ thank you for the feedback. I have The first FPV and will likely buy a nice used avata several months from now like I did withe it's big brother. And by then we should know if the goggles are backwards compatible or not. Despite what some say, I would be extremely surprised if they are not. My theory is that they didn't have enough to sell both in the kit and standalone yet, and will update them when or shortly after they release the new air units. The Avata looks like an awesome machine for certain purposes and it is great that you are enjoying yours.
Passing on this. Already have the fpv, which is much faster and fun to fly.
I can see why it would be better for beginners though.
Not cheaper though
I'm told it will ship! Haha I'm impatiently waiting for my Avata but with already owning the Fpv I have v2 Goggles. I gotta let your subscribers know about a great safety investment for their Dji Fpv. It is to install two after market items. I was in sport mode and as fast as it will go and flew directly into a cable across the road I was flying over. Now sport mode the Drone books along pretty fast. So if it didn't have The aluminum gimble guard and the cross braces that go from motor to motor, one on each side I guarantee my drone eould have basically exploded!! All that was hurt was the rear right arm broke motor gone and the gimbal shroud cracked. It's back in the air after buying 2 parts!!
So buy those 2 items. They reduce expensive replacement costs if your a fix things yourself kinda Hobbyist. Happy flying!!!
awsome steve
The only thing I like about the new goggles is the fact you can focus them, i agree with the other issues of the goggles 2, I now have both of them V2 and 2…🤔💰💰💰
Can they adjust enough to correct for astigmatism? Or will I need to order special lens?
There is a hd goggle war going on, most the other reviews i have seen seem like they are sponsored or over hyped, thank you for a more honest review
Thanks for checking it out
Peter is so cool !
This is a fact!
Andy RC was saying the same thing about the fit not being so good with the new goggles 2. I think I will stick with the V2 goggles.
That's cool...
Another good video Steve
Thank you
An interesting comparison would be how signal strength differs between using the remote vs the normal stick controller. From videos I have seen, I suspect that you need to stay closer to the remote and will get signal loss quicker than when using the stick controller. But no one compared it as of yet. Maybe that is something for you?
Captain drone , I have seen 2 video with the same problem, so you know what is happening?? I noticed that the problem happens when the AVATA does a fast turn…..I will really appreciate your feedback thanks
Great video Steve you show the reality of the goggles, do you know if I update firmware of V2 goggles wil I lost my FCC hack and the 1000 and 1200 mw options.
Yes, I believe every firmware update should remove the hack, but then you just put it back.
the part, around 12:00 till 16:00 , scares me a bit .... Thanks for showing part3 ¶ ; - )
Seen so many videos about it falling out the sky like yours did.
Mine still falls out of the sky if I turn quickly to the left while in Manual Mode
Can you use DJI Googles 2 with the Avata?
I will wait till they go on sale…thanks Captain drone🙈👍
Nice video your a good fpv drone pilot
Thank you
Where did you get the stabilizer winglets for the original DJI FPV??? Been meaning to ask, Thanx
It was a product from smallrig. There is an entire video about them on my channel.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanx for the info, will check it out
Interesting about the goggles. So far I've only heard problems about fogging.
Can you have your glasses below the goggles? I can with the V2s and like it a lot. I know that I can compensate from +2to -8 but 1. I'm not in that range and 2. What do I do with my glasses? So I'd like to leave my (smallish) glasses on.
Some glasses fit, big frames do not.
Another great review Steve. You already know that but still nice to hear I bet!!
I believe dji will give a firmware update to let the new googles work with our vista's and air units. BUTTTT how much better will the picture quality be. Yes you have an oled 1080p screen, butttt the vista's and cameras we are using now are older technology with 720p. Soooooo will dji do it?? And will it be worth the extra$$$$ to upgrade??? Any opinions on this. Thanks again for your videos and all the help you have given me when I first converted from camera drones to fpv a couple years ago. I was completely overwhelmed and lost. Buttt you graciously replied emails and comments. Thank you Steve,, by the way I am still rocking my captain drone tshirt down here in Clearwater water Florida. If you ever down this way. I would love to meet you and say hi!,,, happy flying!!!
Thanks for the comments and happy to hear how much you enjoy FPV. DJI will come out with compatibility firmware updates, but features only available on the new goggles may not exist with older gear.
Ye was on manual mode today and out of the blue it went to normal mode and braked, then once back in manual mode about a minute later it went out of control, spun sideways and flews far away, even putting the brake on, putting it into normal mode it wouldn't stop then crashed, had to climb a big wall to get it back and sprained me bloody ankle so that's fun... Anyone know of a fix for this issue please?
Nice flight party gathering.
I bought the older dji fpv with the mc about 3 weeks ago, and when I first used it I had the same thing come up on screen about interference. I was in the middle of nowhere. Went back and google about it and seen it was a problem with some people. The fix that was told to me and what I did that fixed it was a calibration. Went back to same spot and hasn’t come back on sense. The only problem with the calibration is when it’s shows the pictures of what to do that one of the pictures is wrong and everyone couldn’t get it calibrated. So I watch several more videos until I found the guy that shows the right way the Mc has to be held to calibrate . The first step you hold it out like a screwdriver and rotate it like turning a key in the door. Give that a try when you get time and I bet that will fix it hopefully. I fly mine around the same distance and the other controller now without any problems now.
Oh yeah also when I went to calibrate it that it showed error under calibration spot and that went away also after calibration.
That cool
This is a solid drone for a casual flyer like me. Also: I suspect some of these odd SW issues are getting firmware pushes sooner than later..
If I may add. I have the DJI fpv drone and my drone will randomly brake itself sometimes and hover while I’m in normal mode and from what I found looking into it on forums was that the sensors where catching a glare from the sun and sense they’re light based sensors it cause them to go haywire and the aircraft brakes. One day it was really bright without any clouds and I was about 300 feet up away from my house and the drone just wouldn’t let me take control of it as if I was trying to smash it into a wall😂😂little to say I was freaking out a bit. But after three seconds I remembered the return to home button which allowed the aircraft to go in the direction I was trying to without a problem. Could possibly be why your drone was freaking out too
The AVATA has no sensors in operation in manual mode, so it is a mystery.
A mature flyer here. Like your mature reviews.
Thank you
What’s up Captain drone like to know what you think about the second one for Fpv instead of The first one from Dji
Hey Steve, what's up with the fins on your DJI FPV? Do they improve flight? Super vids
Also, your music sounds like the Chonchords? Is it?
Fins were a product from smallrig for stability. Music is direct from TH-cam.
Great reviews. Only Subject missing is your comments on head tracking?
Head Tracking is all covered in PART 2.
Another great video by captain drone. I had that glitch kick in in manual mode (drone falling out of the sky for no reason) and it damaged the drone on 1st day... sent it back in. I m so upset. This thing is not capable of being flown in manual mode IMO. It falls out of the sky. This is starting to be seen all over TH-cam now but I don't think people have realized the seriousness of this issue...only captain drone highlighted the danger for people on top of risking to break the drone.... I m not even sure that a firmware upgrade could fix it.... it seems to have to do with the high center of gravity. Hopefully I m very wrong but I can't believe this is available for retail with such a major flaw. There is not a single avata owner I know who didn't experience the issue right away in manual mode.... some with more luck than others... not to mention the so obvious issue with the battery disconnecting so easily (tricks already found to secure it with rubber and so on).... also... the battery connector on the drone is placed on a very not solid part. Everything is great besides that..... fingers crossed for a firmware upgrade for falling out of the sky issue.... I agree with you on the goggle...as soon as the right foam is released...it will all be better but again.... everyone says it hurts the nose and it's a bit too close to the eyes... don't they test their hardware before releasing
What is your favorited fpv drone /?
the sound is just like any other cini with vortex tubes, but the goggle issue is very disappointing. Do you think a foam kit will solve the issue like the light leak in all the other ones?
Yes. I put a FATSHARK foam face insert in them and they are now perfect.
I see the MC interference when I am near lots of metal. Like a metal picnic table, railings or sitting in the back of my jeep.
For it to fall out of the sky like that, I would expect a product recall or cease use order until they have fixed it - That thing went berserk for long enough to do, well anything. I'd say it was dangerous without mincing any words, certainly that unit at the very least. Stick it in a box and return it as a public duty - They need to check that out quick
Try rebinding the fpv controller to the drone.
Hi capt I'd love to get into fpv would you advise I buy this with the v2 goggles so if I buy other fpv quads I can use them. ? Cheers
The old V2 Goggles are compatible with the New DJI FPV modules coming out at the end of NOVEMBER, so if you get the old V2 Goggles, you'll be fine.
I will wait and when you upload a new video showing if the problem all fix, I will buy it, i want a drone is first of all friendly user for newbie like me, and even later i will think about to have another fpv drone for more advance fly, for me this one is really friendly user, as i say i will way for those update to see if a most buy
I have many DJI drones and would like to try FPV this avata seems very expensive I was wondering if one of my older drones like the mini 1 would be good to try with somthing like the drone mask to see how I like it
Drone mask is a popular item with many.
nice info
Hey are you ging to Do a range comparison between the goggles v2 with patches and goggles 2 with the avata? Is there a difference between h.265 on the goggles 2 and h264 on goggles v2?
No range test as it is illegal in almost every country to wear goggles and fly beyond the view of a spotter that must be in communication with you.
As soon as I saw the Avata I imagined that that battery plug was going to be an issue. Even just being flexible like that, it will degrade over time.
I can’t understand why the connection isn’t at the other end and a fixed lock in style like on my mini. It’s even harder to clip into the charging hub than it is with batteries that just slide in 🤷🏼♂️😩
I've just ordered the goggles 2 kit never tried the V2 so I will never know, I guess if I really can't get on with them I could swap them out for the older ones. I also have a a triangular head and a big nose lol. I wear glasses and the goggles 2 seems to be more adjustable for eyesight? Thanks for your great review, hope they can sort out the firmware although I am that Mavic pilot who will probably stay in normal and sport for a while.
This Avata drone is also sold with the v2 goggles that have been around for a while. Have you tried using your older V2s with the Avata? If so are you planning on doing a video with those instead of the new Goggles 2?
I put foam, as mentioned in this vid around the cheek and nose area and now they are PERFECT for my head.
I have tried today with V2 mask and stock antennas. I don't know why but the transmission was very bad (low range) with same settings; and image was blurry even close to me.
I know you have a dedicated controller, but do you know if you are using a single controller and the old goggles for both, if you have to rebind every time you go back and forth? Haven't seen this answered in any videos so far.
I believe you would have to because DJI designed the controller and motion controller to be dedicated to one drone. I have two remotes and two motion controllers so have never tried it.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks. Appreciate the information.
Hey , if I buy this , can I buy a 2nd set of Googles that will connect as well for my Grandson to watch as I fly too ? If not, is there a way I can connect a monitor for him to hold and watch as well? Thanks for all your videos !
You can connect the one set of goggles to a PHONE or TABLET for external viewing while you fly (you use the DONGLE that comes with the goggles, and run it into your phone and then start up the DJI FLY APP). Or you can spend the cash for more DJI FPV goggles and then put one set in AUDIENCE mode.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks very much ! Now I understand … Keep up the great work ! I really enjoy your videos , clear concise , fun and informative.
Nice review.
I saw some reviews talking about the avata overheating. Do you think the fly more kit is worth it even though that overeating issues?
Thanks.
The overheating is only if you don't fly and leave it powered on, so fly and you'll have no overheating. The only major problem with the AVATA is the issue for pro FPV pilots in manual mode and that is that it falls out of the sky.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks for your reply.
Awesome videos!!! Can you tell me what backpack you are using for the Avata? I am looking to get something like that. Thanks for all the time and energy you put into your videos.
It is the DJI FPV backpack
I like the v2 over the newest googles
After some hits using the new drone has caused a wire to be loosened from the solder internally causing the haywire disconnect. How hard and how many times was it banged into things? Lol, just asking Cappy Steve.
I flew it today and no issues. I even crashed it at high speed and Turtle mode worked. I hate when issues are random.
Will the Avata work with the older FPV Goggles V2 that have the iFlight Crystal Patch Antenna and two iFlight Stubby Antennas installed? If so, will all the goggle menu and options work that are in the brand new Goggles 2 (that came with your package) be there in the older FPV Goggles V2 when flying the Avata. I have noticed that several of your guests in your Avata videos have commented that the older FPV Goggles V2 give a better field of view and immersive experience.
I have tried today with V2 stock antennas. I don't know why but the transmission was very bad (low range) with same settings; and image was blurry even close to me. The menu layout is different but you find the same options (except head tracking of course). I will try with the Crystal patch and stubbies that I own too.
Yes, the V2 goggles work, but obviously you don’t get the crystal clear display or head tracking.
Question: Is there any diagnostic event logging you could examine for the spurious behavior?
Normally one can see the error messages on the display, but none appeared. Flight log data may hold some answers. Flew it again today and no issues. I hate when problems occur and are not easily repeatable every time.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you. As a former tester I can relate. Look forward to more videos, I'm keen to get this. I returned the original one cause I hoped this would be better fit for my use case.
have you used the v2 goggles with the avata
Nope, I have not.
I bought TX16S radio awhile back to learn on a simulator. Is it possible to pair this to the Avata? Also, as a beginner trying to get into cinematic FPV, what's better to start with? The Avata, or some of the other Cinewhoop style drones?
DJI products like the Avata are 100% not compatible with anything. If you can afford the Avata, it is a good starter drone into the FPV hobby, but it is not compatible with anything.
I still fly my DJi FPv drone and love it. Sadly one of my batteries died and I am not about to pay $180 for one single damn battery. The prices are ridiculous
I have six batteries for the DJI FPV which were all purchased on launch day. A few of them just don’t hold a charge as well as they once did.
Hi Steve.... I'm more of a Pepsi guy. So the V2 goggles sounds better for me.
This is the best review video of Avata. I hope you found a fix for the issues. one have commented IMU calibration helped . did it work for you ? so worried that my unit also might have the same issue.
I flew it the next day in manual mode and no issues, even turtle mode worked after an impact. I hate issues that are intermittent.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Honestly, try the IMU calibration. It did wonders for mine. There's still occasional jerk, but it feels more like prop wash than anything.
Any more Avata videos on the way Captain ?
In the future yes, but not in the immediate future
Peter👊🏻!
Hi whats your quality settings for your FOV also do u use Normal or D-cinelog?
I use normal. D-Cinelog is a gimmick but can be of benefit if moving slow in lighting that is wrong. The camera is set to Ultra Wide.
Steve, I really appreciate your review of this drone and the goggles. As an fpv pilot with plenty of experience flying acro, what attracts me to the Avata is the range and video quality… what cinewhoop would you recommend instead of the Avata for someone with more flying experience that wants to go from analog to digital. Thanks
The AVATA is more for people not in the FPV hobby or those just starting. If you are a seasoned FPV pilot, then go for something under 250 grams (lots of awesome FPV pusher whoops on the market, many of which I have reviewed).
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you! I look forward to watching your cinewhoop review videos.
The Goggles 2 fit better than the v1 goggles for me. It’s your head shape.
You are in the minority and may have been the model used to create the mold for the goggles 2. I have fixed mine with a bit of foam from FATSHARK goggles.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Is it perfect now ?
@@SebDevulder56 Yes, with some foam it is perfect.
Hey Capt. Love that you guys are all close to my age and are out there flying. great content. Question. I’ve been trying manual in simulation for awhile now. I’m just not getting it. For me seems like the right stick. I just don’t understand it’s behavior It so different than like mavics and such. Any helpful nuggets would be appreciated.
In the future I’ll make a vid showing how a pilot of a GPS Camera drone can transition to FPV.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 awesome. That will be amazing. I actually went out today and made some progress.
