Quick heads up - the specs for the cameras that I put on the screen at 9:12 are flip flopped! Sorry about that, but the labels for all of the footage is correct.
Plus: The DJI FPV doesn't have HorizonSteady - only Rocksteady mode!
@@Porschession copy and paste error lol
Just was about to mention. Great catch as well.
@@drewpearson7911 Congratulations 🎊 👏 🎊 You won a Drone. I hope you like your prize and thank You for commenting
Good luck 👊Quick inbox 📥 for it 👍👆👆🏅🏅.........
The FPV camera isn’t as bad as everyone claims. Shooting in d-cinelike allows for color grading and pulling detail from the shadows in post while also using nd filters allows for reducing overexposure and getting motion blur if so desired. The lower resolution is unnoticeable on a cell phone screen which is where 99% of viewers will watch the footage. This is my humble opinion…
But when put side by side with Avata…. Huge difference in clarity
Yeah I agree. Watch Nathan McBride he's got some insane stuff shot on that camera.
@@billykyle on the computer monitor yes, but on a mobile device…it’s not noticeable. Many are just too harsh on the FPV’s camera I feel…That’s the only point I was offering.
I agree with you on this. Overall I feel the camera is great for high-speed video capture. I also got a Mini 2 for when I want higher detail/slower cinematic scenes.
Almost like the age old saying, there is a tool for every job. That being said, of course the Avata camera is better and wish it was used on the FPV drone too haha.
I think the problem is people don't know how to colour grade. D-cini is perfectly fine. Don't bother with a GoPro just take a few hours to learn how to colour grade the footage
Great review. As an owner of the FPV and the soon to be delivered Avata, what you didn't really push is the portability for videography. Throwing this in a backpack for hiking, biking, skiing, etc. is a major selling feature for me.
There is just no carting that thing around in a practical way. I've been getting around much more on an ebike and I'm confident I can bring the Avata even out and about on that
I completely agree ! The original FPV was such a hassle taking it places! It just required so much space
@@Tensentities It's more that when I go out with my gear, I'm also taking my mirrorless body/some lenses etc. I can comfortably easily get around with a bag with a few lenses, a tripod and mini 3 pro but with FPV I could only really take it and forgo everything else
Where do you even ski that allows drones? Seems like everywhere i go to hike, bike, or ski, no drones allowed.
@@johnhinkleman9757 Typo, should have been snowshoeing, on trails that are not part of a ski resort up here in Vancouver.
Great video and review. I had been about to pull the trigger on the FPV when the Avata hit the market so I have been doing a TON of research and watching videos like yours. You nailed it and broke things down really concisely.
The person behind Telegram Billy is scam, he wants you to send shipping fee with Gift card e-code , he has sent out free package and DJI 3 messages for many people
Avata for me:
- Googles 2 (diopter!, smaller, lighter..)
- better camera + rocksteady 2.0/horizonsteady
- prop guards
- motion controller
- 50% smaller/lighter
- cinematic capability
Speed is not that important for me...which I see as the only benefit of owning a FPV drone. Besides it is just too intimidating.
Really too bad that Avata is not a sub 250g...but one can dream though:)
With Avata, DJI literally brought two worlds together (FPV and cinematic world) which was unheard of till now.
The fun factor of Avata is insane..I am not a professional but I have owned Spark, Mavic Air (1st gen), Mavic 2 Zoom and now I'm wanting Avata to squeeze the fun factor out of my flying which is the main reason why I love drones so much...
Fantastic comparison, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Thank you Billy for the video. I was waiting for this.
Good comparison video, Billy.
Always thorough, and to the point.
That clears it up, I need both! Thanks Billy!
I've got both, the FPV does not allow any mistakes in manual mode after a year of experience on it, all it takes is a split second to destroy it and everything on its way. The avata in acro mode gave mixed results (I know it's a cinewhoop) with propellers turning into dust instantly. On the other hand the thing can handle a 250m high dead drop from the sky without much damage. If you never flew fpv start with the Avata and many, many many hours in a simulator software. DJi FPV's are selling for $390 on eBay those days without googles or controller.
Outstanding video. Extremely helpful; It answered all my questions and I'm definitely getting an Avata.
Buddy it's amazing how you manage to give so many information in this timeframe!!!
I agree with your assessment between the Avata and DJI FPV 100%. The Avata is the most fun I have had with a drone in a long time. I am flying with my FPV goggles V2 and controller 2. I have had many bumps and small crashes with the Avata and it is surprisingly durable, most of the time it bounces off drunkenly and then just keeps flying without having gone down. I feel far more confident flying the Avata fast and close in to the scenery. I also think the Avata in normal or spot mode is far easier to fly than a traditional cinawoop, It is definitely a great drone for beginners or experienced FPV flyers.
You made a good point about the two being built for different flying styles and purpose. Both are high quality commercial fpvs.
Great Comparison Video and Review. Thank You Billy.
thanks for the video. answered all my questions
Great comparison review, Billy. Thanks!
Avata is sweet but I still like the fpv more ..love the speed
As always great information Mr. Kyle. thanks for your opinion on the Avata.
We know what the dialogues are but the scenes are fresh and new ❤️💙
The specs you listed are backwards, I wish the fpv had 48 mp lol…… I may try when the camera only setup is out soon.
Exactly the comparison I was looking for..
Very good information as always Billy. I'm waiting now on my Avata. I really like how you can fly it, where you can fly it, with now worries, for the up most.
Congratulations 🎊 👏 🎊 You won a Drone. I hope you like your prize and thank You for commenting
Good luck 👊Quick inbox 📥 for it 👍👆👆🏅🏅.........
Awesome review! Does your spec listing of the camera need flipped?
I want to also address something else that I have seen no one else address. The cost. The Avata in all FPV combos costs more than the FPV. The FPV BNF kit costs $1000 new, while the cheapest BNF kit for the Avata costs over $1100, and you don't even get the regular RC at the top end kit. It's also worth noting that the Goggles 2 are currently not compatible with existing DJI air units for other FPV drones. This means if you buy an Avata, you must make the choice to either forego the head tracking feature or forego the compatibility with existing Air Units. In my opinion, if you are just getting into FPV, go with the FPV, don't spring for the Avata. It's cheaper, you get a closer to standard RC, and you can jump to other digital drones. If you are either already flying an FPV or you are looking to use a drone for filming purposes, buy the Avata, but even then the FPV will suffice. 99% of people are not filming movies, instead producing simple content. High end phones have only just gotten to 12 MP cameras, and everyone agrees they look great. Most people also consume media on their phones. They will not be able to tell the difference between 48 MP and 12 MP. The Avata's main one up is it's small size that allow it to fly indoors and around people easily.
Billy Kyle always making sense. Great video as usual.
Hi Billy - just a note that the specs you showed during the camera comparison were reversed. I had to do a double take and then check on the website.
Very nice video and review! Thanks 👍🏻
thanks bill. i already heve the fpv, i agree with your feeling of having to be very careful with the fpv. i guess you will have to bind to the avata with the fpv goggles and controller. how do you do that.?
They lost me not selling it in a combo with a real stick style controller.
I just wanted to thank you for making short, concise, to the point videos. Too many other sites blabber on about stuff that is irrelevant. I don't have time for that so I appreciate you getting the information out as efficiently as possible.
Can you provide the link for that Avata teardown video please? Thank you.
I'm happy you enjoy the videos! unfortunately - no video of the tear down. Just photos.
great video! just what i needed to know for both of them.
Amazing video. Quick question, when you buy avata do you only get motion sensor controller or both them
Hey Billy, what rates do you suggest for the FPV(1).? Been flying mine for a little while now….not really feeling my rates lately. I love your vids thou, so smooth 🔥
Thank you for this video. Been trying to get a honest comparisons on both FPV's. I've been flying DJI products for years and want to start getting into FPV. Was debating on these and it's going to be the Avata. Thanks.
Look at the fpv closely man cause I have way more fun with my fpv then avata…… its a more capable drone PERIOD
Awesome review. Thx bud!!
Great review Billy! I already had the DJI FPV, but I ordered the Avata mainly for travel considerations (same reason I have a Mavic2 Pro & Zoom, along with a Mini for travel). I can now take both the Mini & Avata (with the smaller goggles 2) and easily fit into my overhead backpack for airline flights! Thanks!
Hola Billy! Not sure how to reply to your comment? Thanks!
@@mmcneilsat Don't fall for the scam!
Do we know if the new goggles will work with the old fpv yet??
@@kentao4 They dont/wont
Sucks i took a trip to Florida and brought my avata, forgot the googles lol .
That was the most helpfull video out there yet. Everybody else always says how good the avata is but not really the 'problems'. Was so confussed which one i should get.
Only thing that i would love to get answered is the wind problem. I would love to fly in New Zealand on very high mountains. So there is wind all the time. My question is, would the avata be fine with it or would it be impossible to fly it there? I know the fpv would be totally fine with it, just want to know how much of a problem is it with the avata?
Great POSITIVE review. 🤙🏾
I've played flying games all my life, and the motion of the controller has come very easy to me for both regular drone flying and FPV. I can rip pretty hard on FPV sims and generally have no real issues but I get in my head way too hard with ta fragile $1400 ($AUD) FPV drone. I never want to take any risks with it and fly very conservatively which doesn't result in the killer shots. It's such a fragile design and unlike the DIY FPV systems it's usually a headache to fix anything more than a prop breaking & due to this I find myself barely using it & certainly not to it's real potential. Ordered the Avata knowing a cinewhoop (that doesn't require a gopro strapped to it for anything decent) is actually what I wanted from the DJI FPV
Great review. One question are there nd filters available for the Avata?
This video is very helpful. I been looking at purchasing one or the other of these to drones. This has helped me out a lot with the decision making process. I am still on the fence, but I am leaning more to the Avata. I have never owned a drone before, but I am excited to own one or the other of these of these two. I am leaning towards the Avata.
The FPV is way more fun, I own both and the fpv is faster and doing 100 a thousand feet up is FUN!
I've been waiting for an FPV drone like the Avada so I'm definitely going to get one.
Great review!
Thank you. Will definitely add the avata to go with my mavic 2 pro.
Congratulations 🎊 👏 🎊 You won a Drone. I hope you like your prize and thank You for commenting

Thanks. DJI Avata has a Pano Shooting Mode, can choose from Sphere for size panorama 360°x180° or only manually shot?
Good comparison video Billy
Thank you for this great Comperson from Germany!!!
Perfect vid for helping me make a decision. I fly the mavic 2 Pro for work and have a first gen Mavic and am looking to get into FPV. I want a prebuilt as my first FPV drone maybe build one once I get familiar with the different flight system and controls.
Your flight footage quality is the best I’ve seen yet and I’ve watched every Avata video possible since the release, so I don’t know what your doing differently over there but you may just need to make a video on that alone. 👍
Super helpful. Thanks Billy!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you
Amazing video. Thank you so much, I will go with Avata!
hank you for watching video and comments,

Does anyone know if you can show the MPH on number on the display when using the DJI FPV Goggles v2 using the Avata? I saw that you can see it in the DJI Goggles 2 but not the v2 goggles.
Excellent comparison.
Great comparison vid Billy. I am days away from getting my Avata.. so much to explore.! Can't wait
✌🏼peace..
Thanks man!
Great comparison Billy
Thank you Billy, Can we use DJI Goggles V2 with Avata without updating Goggles firmware to latest version (could be used also with older firmwares)?
Good Breakdown!
Great video !
Awesome video as always dude! I think you mixed up the models on the split screen comparison at 9:12 tho 😉 🤙
Hi there , to anyone who own Avata , I would like to ask does it come with “FOLLOW ME” mode ? I currently have mini 2 and I can have my drone to follow me when I’m running .
Since Avata is FPV require goggle to control Everytime. Are there any way to turn on Follow Me mode ?
Thx for all helping ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks man, now I know what to buy!
Happy to help!
If I have the “older” FPV V2 goggles, can I utilize those to stream Avata flights for another person to watch?
Great review 👍
Thanks Billy for your comprehensive analysis of the differences between these two products. I own the FPV and love flying it. My skills aren't to the level to gamble it's life buzzing garages or parking structures but that's not how I use it. It's just a blast to haul ass past trees, along rivers or lakes, dive bomb interesting places, and rip around other Open Area obstacles. However, the Avata does have it's advantages. Since the V2 FPV goggles will work with the Avata (thanks for that tidbit), and I already use the Motion Controller, It's now on my radar to own one. Thanks again!
Yep grap a drone only its much cheaper
The big deal of Goggles 2 is the diopter going to +8 for people with glasses like me. That opens it up to another whole audience which includes many of us older guys who fly drones. (You'll find out when you hit 40 Billy =p)
I have no drone experience at all, but would love to learn to fly. Would one of these drones be a good fit for a beginner?
How sharp are the goggles to look thru?
Can you focus each eye independently?
Billy,
Looking for extra batteries for the avata drone and I can't find any?
Even dji
I want to purchase the Avata but it has an option to either include the FPV controller or not. Do you like the FPV controller or does the avata controller do everything and you haven’t touched the FPV controller since the upgrade?
Thanks very helpfull
I have the Avada coming. I agree that I am much more careful with the FPV. I look forward to being a bit less nervous when flying the Avada. I have flown lots of FPV drones made of carbon fiber. While neither of these will take the beating of a vortex 150. The flight experience with a high resolution FPV goggles and the video output potential makes the DJI solutions the first choice on most travel outings.
Thanks Billy, I was worried that my fpv drone was going to be in par in comparison of P3 to P4P.
Does the Goggle V2 with the Avata has better Range then with the Goggle 2? V2 has 2 Antennas and could result in less failsave. Also EU Range for the Avata is down to only 2km and oftes lose Signal after 300m. Has the FPV a better Range?
I didn't realize that it will activate RTH if the video feed gets too bad. Cool!

Good luck 👊Quick inbox 📥 for it 👍👆👆🏅🏅.........
thanks for your video, how about goggles? for me , I think only good screen is better than old one. how about fogging in the lens?
How well did the Avata handle wind?
Gonna wait for the 3D version, my credit card is ready
I think it's important to mention that the Avata cannot fly in manual mode out of the box since DJI doesn't offer a combo that comes with the controller. The motion controller is all you can get. The regular controller is sold separately and out of stock more often than not. So, for $1400, sport mode is the best you can get.
@@poultrypants Where? Not from DJI.
@@poultrypants I just checked. No one offers that combo.
@@mckrackin5324 Oh yea sry, you're right. IDK why I thought that. I deleted the original comment.
Thanks man.
Great video 😊
Thanks man appreciate the advice
Welcome!
I own both and love both
Does anyone know if it is easy to switch the controller and goggles back and forth between the FPV and the Avata?
very helpful im going to go for the avatar
Good video... See you on the next one...
Hey billy, do do fly in manual?
The avata falls every time you make a harsh turn does the fpv do the same?
hey off-topic but where'd you get at gopro mount for the dji fpv
Did you fly the Avata into the clip where it flew inside the house?
Great video
I already have the FPV, so once I pair the goggles and remote with the Avata, do I then have to re-pair with the FPV in order to fly the FPV?
I just purchased the Avata - If i want to purchase the FPV (just the drone) can I use the "Goggles 2" Headset, or will I need to buy the Goggles V2?
Thanks for the video Billy. Just like the FPV I almost impulse bought it until I watched your video. Now I know better thanks a lot! Saved me again From buying some thing I don’t need from DJI.
hank you for watching video and comments,

Will the fpv controller work for the ava
How are you able to record the goggles with the HUD info displayed?
Can you use the mini 2 remote with the Avata?
Looking at those on the table makes you realize the obvious next step would be for DJI to release a larger cine- style drone to fill the gap between the three but for now looking very much forward to flying the Avata.
I don't think so. It'll be un upgrade of the DJI fpv. A bigger drone for cine is a niche and few people wil buy it.
A prop guarded drone was niche until someone adopted it and stuck a camera on top of it that was the beginnings of where we currently are. It was smaller and flew for a much shorter time and then they became larger and flew longer.
where did you buy the simgle drone?
