DJI Avata Explorer Combo, FPV Drone with Camera 4K, Super-Wide 155° FOV, Includes New RC Motion 2 and Goggles Integra 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

You don't know until you buy this that your FAA ID has to be verified prior to EACH liftoff. This means that you have to have your phone connected to the goggles, WITH A NETWORK CONNECTION, before you can fly the drone. If you're in your front yard, now you need your phone WIRED to the goggles to fly. BTW, this also drains the goggles' battery, because it's charging your phone now. If you're in nature, without a network connection, you're hosed. No fly. None. No drone flight. Period. If you can't wire your phone to the goggles AND get a network connection to your phone (you know, like everywhere worth photographing) then you're not allowed to take off. This is NOT acceptable. I'll be returning mine, which is too bad, because it's a nice unit that flies well.

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

Though you can’t go 60 with the motion controller, it is significantly more intuitive (like a Wii remote) to fly with, and you can still go very fast, fast enough to learn to fly with before getting a controller in the future. Everything works very smoothly, the drone itself is durable and battery life is very good for an fpv drone, though I would recommend getting a couple extra for that extended use. It takes beautiful cinematic video that is so much more “personalized” because it really feels like you’re there, taking the video/photo yourself

Really you will see the world from a new perspective.

As entry into the stunning world of FPV this little drone has what it takes. Love the avata and looking forward to enjoying it a great deal this summer :) It is so easy to fly right out of the box for a complete new entry to flying with goggles 2 and motion controller 2 that I was hooked instantly. The sensation of flying is uncanny and can even make my knees go on me! Truly a fun experience. The footage is fantastic in 4k. Really crisp. Camera stills arent fantastic but i come from fuji cameras and lenses so i am spoiled with quality. To be fair they will be good for most situations. This drone is well over 249 grams so be sure to write your basic RPAS test and get certified to enjoy this lovely drone hassle free. Register the drone as well. Total cost to do this about 1 hour of time and $15. Beats the 1k fine you can get for not doing it. Lets keep the drone hobby fun in Canada by flying safe and respectfully!

Estupendo pack, muy buena calidad y funcionamiento

The camera quality is stunning, with crisp and vibrant images that exceed my expectations. My first experience with goggles was just mind boggling. Gyroscopes in RC offer such precise and minute movements in an extremely intuitive way.

13 yıl önce bu işin üstatları olan arkadaşlarım kendi yaptıkları ekipmanlarla FPV drone yapardı ve ben de onları imrenerek izlerdim. Çünkü DJI kontrolcüleri (Naza vb) yeni çıkmıştı ve ben ancak F450 toplayıp kaba uçuşlar yapabiliyordum. Ayrıca onlar kontrolcüsüz manuel olarak uçuyordu. Daha sonra çok DJI dronu kullandım ama onlarla da yapabilecekleriniz sınırlıydı. DJI Avata ilk çıktığında "İşte aradığım Drone!" dedim kendi kendime... Güvenlik sistemleri, görüntü aktarım kalitesi, ekipmanların pratik ve birbirleriyle olan uyumu ve sağlam tasarımı beni açıkçası cezbetti. Ancak bu sefer de fiyatı çok yüksek geldi ve bu ekonomik krizde almayı düşüneceğim en son ürünlerden biri oldu. Bu nedenle yazı bekliyordum, ta ki Amazon'daki Kasım indirimini görene kadar... Geçen hafta dronu aldım ve hemen hemen her gün evde kullanarak alıştırma yapıyorum. Havalar bu ara kötü olduğu için açık hava testini 1 kez yapabildim ve çok keyifliydi. Cihazın adı Avatar'dan esinlenmiş çünkü adeta siz uçuyorsunuz ve yaşıyorsunuz bunu. Diğer telefondan yönettiğim dronlarda bu duyguyu hiçbir zaman alamamıştım ancak gözlük size bu hissi veriyor. Ayrıca hızlı bir uçuş deneyimiyle çarpsanız da çok etkilenmeyen bir dronunuz oluyor. Evde dar alanlardan geçerken birkaç defa sert çarptığım oldu ancak cihaz gerçekten çok sağlam. Bu FPV dronu olduğu için manzara çekimi yapmak isteyenler için çok ideal olmayabilir çünkü gimbali 2 eksenli. Bu cihazla amaç hızlı uçuş ve aksiyon. Kesinlikle çok farklı bir deneyim elde edeceksiniz...
