    This video is actually super relevant for real estate photographers. Real estate photography is a huge industry and the majority of real estate photographers are taking stills and Video on a daily basis. I was considering purchasing this drone so I can have some more dynamic videos, but because they do not offer raw images, I probably won’t now. So thanks for making the video!

      Thanks. Personally I think realtors should stick to selling homes and hiring professionals to do photo and video than do it themselves. They tend to not bother with licensing and think it’s as simple as pressing the shutter button and their image quality is not what it’s supposed to be compared to an actual photographer. Otherwise the photographer would just sell houses and not need a realtor. That’s just my 2 cents.

    The Avata 2 is a great explorer in tight spaces. I recently took some pictures closeup from a damaged roof for a friend.
    Any buildings or structures can be captured for maintenance with it!
    With a portable little printer in my car this is a great service feature!

      Ooooo great idea. Yes this is a good explorer and JPEGS would be sufficient for this too.

      Is that avata 2 better than the mini 4 pro for exploring or tight spaces though?

      @@Dmm1004 Ab-so-lutely! No doubt it's much better for that.
      But I'm talking from an experienced fpv pilot's point of view. The position holding might be better on the mini 4 pro, not sure about it tbh. The avata2 is much more sturdy, can take sidebumps like nothing with the stable ducts/propguards. And it was made for flying it with the goggles 3, on the mini4 pro it seems more like a "gadget" flying it with the goggles.

    This video is especially relevant to me because my Mavic 3 Pro was stolen, and I urgently need a temporary drone to continue taking photos and earning money to eventually replace it.

      Sorry to hear your drone was stolen. Look into the Air 3S as a replacement. Made some videos on it and more to come.

    It took me a while to buy DJI products due to the hate in the FPV freestyle, Racing community, Etc. But when I decided to turn Drones into a business DJI made since. The Avata 2 scares me when I try to freestyle it like my Crux35 3.5 inch. During hard turns with alot of yaw the drone snaps down vertical and almost losses control. I keep hearing everyone saying it can freestyle but It cant do anything aggressive which is Freestyle IMO(Just baby freestyle). With that said the Avata 2 is amazing for cinematic flying (without sharp turns) It is my favorite drone for indoor drone tours now. It holds altitude better than any of my other cinewhoops in Angle mode(I dont like angle mode but it delivers a better product for drone tours IMO). The other area the Avata 2 shines is close proximity flying through trees etc. Plus the camera is so good no need for added action camera weight. I also own the Air 3 and I love it. The DJI drones I have used are amazing when they are used as they are intended to be used. Does anybody else change the controller spring when going from Normal mode and Manuel mode?

      How about avata 2 vs mini 4 pro
      I want to do indoor video with wide angle shot. But also i want a good photohtaphy and cinematic like show movement.

    Been wanting Avata 2 for a bit now, cause I don't use my non-FPV drone that much. It's no fun.
    But the lackluster photo abilities turned me off as I am making a partial living from photography.
    So, your mention of the Air 3, made me look a little into things and settled for a Mini 4 Pro as
    it's much more capable in the photo department, and it can use Goggles 3 and RC 3 for some
    immersive flying too.
    Then I'll get what I want for both professional and leisure usage.
    Thanks. :)

    Useful video. I was looking for a drone for two things - flying with googles and photography. Photography is a bigger priority, so probably gonna go with Air3. Avata2 looking cool tho, and a lovely size

    • @DimmyV

    Photo mode still matters a lot because if you are taking a drone on vacation something like an avata is great but wouldn't make sense if you couldn't even take a decent picture

    • @DimmyV
      @DimmyV  10 часов назад

      Yes very true, JPEGs would be fine in this instance, I've tried shooting JPEGs using creative styles on my camera rather than always editing

  • @charlottephoto

    For commercial work, it's nice to have photos and video in the same drone. But they should have made it RAW.
    One day I hope the sensors will be round to match the lens on all drones and the cropping can be done in post.

    • @DimmyV
      @DimmyV  3 месяца назад

      It’s the same sensor as the Air 3. I mean a. firmware update can make it possible but DJI want to keep its Mavic drones separate.

    Enjoying your videos. Only found them today.
    I have the mavic 2 zoom and recently purchased the avata 2.
    Have you notice if you have crashed whether the recording stops or not?

    • @DimmyV
      @DimmyV  4 месяца назад +1

      Appreciate it 🍻 by default the recording stops when you crash. It should stay connected if not that bad of a crash and whether you have a twig stuck in the props may prevent you from taking off again.

      People have added an action camera but it ruins the flight characteristics. Fly sluggish. Might as well get a bigger drone if you want to do that imo.
