DJI Avata, First-Person View Drone with 4K Stabilized Video, Super-Wide 155° FOV, Built-in Propeller Guard, HD Low-Latency Transmission, Black, FAA Remote ID Compliant

Apparently somebody decided to buy a new one and return the old on in its box and get their money back. The Avata I received wasn't wrapped, the safety seal was broken and it showed signs of being flown into things and the entire thing was dusty like it had been sitting on a shelf. All of the packaging on the charger and replacement props were ripped open and the USB cord was missing entirely. Not sure how this got through the return department and sent back out as a new item. When I went to send it back for a replacement the only option it gave me was a full refund. I talked to a customer service representative through the chat and they told me they'd sent out my replacement and sent me the return shipping label to my e-mail. After waiting an hour and still not receiving the e-mail or seeing the replacement order in my orders I contacted support again to discover the first agent never actually put in for my replacement. Luckily the second agent was much more helpful. They had to get it approved by their supervisor but was able to process my replacement and I received a new wrapped Avata the next day. The drone itself is awesome. I bought some bumper guards to go over the plastic and an aluminum gimbal protector to go on the front. I've been flying it around the house zipping around corners. Already hit a few things and crashed a few times but the drone hasn't taken any damage with the add-ons I put on it. Great indoor drone. Much more fun to fly indoors than my DJI FPV. You can be more bold with it knowing that the propellers won't end up hitting the walls and send the drone crashing. If you bump something hard enough it will still probably crash though. This will my go-to drone for indoor filming and filming in wooded areas with lots of trees.

DJI Avata, Goggles 2, RC Motion 2 Cons: - Distance is limited to about 1.5-2 miles line of sight, much less if there are houses or hills between view. - Supposed to be able to fly without cell phone but I haven't figured that out, when I disconnect or don't connect the drone loses connection. - Battery can fall out with collision Pros: - RC Motion 2 is super easy to fly with, I've seen the negative comments, if you're drone racing it may not give you quite the control needed, but for recreational flying it is fun and easy. Caveat, I haven't tried in Manual Mode yet, that may increase functionality to be on par with regular controller - Goggles 2 are very comfortable, outstanding granularity on view, small enough that you quickly don't notice, eyes are very adjustable both in pupil distance and focus. They also come with inserts for prescription if needed - Flight time is good, I get about 15 min per battery in Sport Mode and rarely hovering - Speed is maxed at about 30mph, not sure if that is setting, I'm still learning to customize

I like my Avata a lot as an intro to FPV flying. One of the most annoying issues is that DJI cuts the top speed by HALF if you use the motion controller instead of the stick/normal controller. That means it's limited to 30mph instead of the 60mph the drone is capable of. I know the Avata is marketed as a beginner friendly drone but having perused the forum on DJI's website, many people have requested that the top speed be unlocked, or at least increased, while using the motion controller but the official response is always along the lines of "Thanks for the suggestion. If more people request it we might look into it". It's a $1000+ drone kit, not a "toy" - don't force customers to pay for more equipment to unlock capabilities the drone already has. The video is really good though. I've flown it about 2 miles out with a clear line of sight without much signal degradation in the goggles. Once any trees or buildings get in the way, that distance drops by 25-80%. One note if you buy the fly more kit - the 4-port charger doesn't charge all the batteries concurrently - it charges them one at a time. It's annoying if you have a power source to charge 2-3 at full speed (~60w).

Fairly easy to set up. You need to download an app to your phone and you need to have your phone plugged into the goggles to activate the gps feature (cables included) other than that it’s pretty much plug and play straight out the box. The goggles are absolutely fantastic and give you an amazing flying experience. The hand controller is very intuitive and not only super simple to use, but once you get used to it you’ll really love it. I would definitely recommend buying the extra battery pack as the drone battery lasts about 8 minutes of flying. Everything about this drone is great, apart from the range. The box says it has a range of 10km, but it’s nowhere near that far. I’ve got a 4 acre property and if I’m sat in the middle it starts flashing a range warning when I fly off my property. But there’s lots of buildings and trees on my property. I watched a YouTube test that was done over unobstructed flat farmland and they recorded the range at about 2km

Really you will see the world from a new perspective.

Ich habe diese Drohne für mich selber als Weihnachtsgeschenk gekauft. Wie bei DJI bekannt kommt das Produkt sehr hochwertig verpackt. Es macht wie immer sehr viel Spaß das Produkt auszupacken. Die Drohne macht einen sehr hochqualitativen Eindruck, sogar so ein hohen Eindruck, dass ich denke, bei einem Crash geht sie nicht direkt kaputt. Der motion Controller ist sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig, wenn man vorher mit einer herkömmlichen Drohne geflogen ist. Ich habe diese jedoch gekauft, da ich mal FPV ausprobieren wollte. Für Menschen, die jedoch noch keine Drohne geflogen sind, ist der motion Controller RC 2 sehr Anfänger freundlich. Man steuert die Drohne praktisch wie ein Flugzeug. Man kann mit dem Motion Controller jedoch keine Loopings machen oder andere spezielle Flugmanöver. Die angegebenen Flugzeit konnte ich leider nicht erreichen, aber es kommt sicher auch darauf an, wie man fliegt. Den so genannten Acro Modus kann man mit einem anderen Controller von DJI aktivieren. Dazu ist aber Übung nötig. Für mich irrelevant, waren die mitgelieferten Sehstärken. Diese sind gerade bei Brillenträger sehr hilfreich, denn mit Brille kann man die FPV Brille nicht aufsetzen. Die Aufnahmequalität der Drohne ist sehr hoch und für das Geld kann man damit wirklich zufrieden sein. Wichtig für alle, die in der EU leben: Diese Drohne hat noch keine C-Klassifizierung, da diese Drohne jedoch ein Startgewicht von 410 g hat, sollte man einen Drohnen Führerschein dazu machen . außerdem sollte man diese Drohne mit der Versicherungsnummer beim LBA melden und seine Kontaktdaten auf der Drohne hinterlassen. außerdem sollte man unbedingt einen Spotter mit dabei haben. (eine zweite Personen, welcher nach der Drohne schaut und wo sie ist) informiert euch dort am besten selber noch mal, denn es gibt doch viele rechtliche Aspekte. Wir befinden uns ja immer noch in der EU und hier ist es natürlich nicht so einfach mit einer Drohne am Himmel herum zu schwirren Ich werde an meine Bewertung Videos und Fotos anhängen, sobald ich ein paar geile Aufnahmen gemacht habe.

love it, flying Avata 2 is just amazing, especially in manual mode and not so noisy and more stable then first Avata

Punti di forza ✅ Esperienza FPV immersiva L’Avata è progettato per essere utilizzato con i visori DJI Goggles 2 o Integra, che offrono una visuale nitida e coinvolgente. Il controllo tramite il motion controller (opzionale) rende il volo intuitivo, anche per chi non ha esperienza con i droni FPV tradizionali. ✅ Qualità video eccellente Dotato di una fotocamera con sensore CMOS da 1/1,7”, registra in 4K a 60fps con stabilizzazione RockSteady e HorizonSteady, offrendo immagini fluide e dettagliate. Rispetto ai droni FPV artigianali, la qualità video è nettamente superiore. ✅ Design robusto e compatto Il telaio con eliche protette da un duct integrato lo rende più resistente agli urti rispetto ad altri droni FPV. Questo lo rende adatto anche a voli indoor o in spazi ristretti. ✅ Autonomia superiore alla media Con circa 18 minuti di volo, il DJI Avata ha un’autonomia maggiore rispetto alla media dei droni FPV tradizionali, che spesso non superano i 5-7 minuti. ✅ Sicurezza avanzata Dispone di funzioni di sicurezza come il Return to Home (RTH) automatico, il pulsante di emergenza per fermare il drone istantaneamente e un sensore per il volo a bassa quota, caratteristiche rare in un FPV. Punti deboli ❌ Non è un vero FPV per piloti esperti Sebbene offra la modalità manuale con un radiocomando separato, il DJI Avata non ha la stessa agilità e reattività di un drone FPV custom. Per chi è abituato al volo freestyle o racing, il peso e la stabilizzazione elettronica possono risultare limitanti. ❌ Motion Controller poco preciso Il controller di movimento semplifica il volo, ma non offre la stessa precisione di un normale radiocomando con stick. Questo può essere frustrante per chi desidera un controllo più diretto. ❌ Memoria interna limitata Senza una microSD inserita, la memoria interna è di soli 20GB, insufficiente per registrazioni lunghe in 4K. ❌ Prezzo elevato Il DJI Avata non è economico: il kit base con visore e controller può superare i 1.000€, un investimento significativo per chi si avvicina al mondo FPV.

Menos loco que DJI fpv lógicamente pues es un cinewhoop y no un dron de "carreras" pero aún así super divertido, la cámara de DJI fpv era buena pero en el avata la han mejorado drásticamente añadiendo soporte color 10bit y estabilización rocksteady 2.0 y horizontsteady, en resumen una pasada de dron dudo que alguien se arrepienta de esta compra. Único inconveniente que le veo es la baja tolerancia al viento (por parte es lógico) y la ranura para la SD o puerto USB C difícil acceso, por lo demás le doy un 10
