You don’t have antenna on the remote because you already have antennas on the goggles. The connection this time is between the goggles and the drone, its the reason why the remote is lighter than the previous version. Its quite a big difference between the two Avatas regarding transmission
That's the answer 👍
Thanks for the insight that's super interesting
hi, so if I use the FPVrc2 + goggles 3 (with the newest update) will it still do the same? or do the old way?(where the rc connects to the drone directly)
You can't use the goggles 3 with the fpv2 radio at this moment. You can only use goggles 3 with fpv3 or goggles 2/integra with fpv2. You can't mix the different generations of hardware.

cool test. if you had flown slower and in sport mode, you would have made it even further. but it is already a crazy distance for a cinewhoop...
dislike for the clickbait in the beginning and trying to stage the crash. Nice test video though
The new longrange monster 😅
really amazing that the connection was so stable!
You can make custom fpv drone than can fly like 30-40km. 4.2km is still good tho
great, but avata wasnt made for long range flying. instead close range with many objects. what is the range in this case? Thats what interest us much more. Between trees, rocks, building, when no VLOS is possible. How far distance is safe in this case?? thx
Signal usually drops and recovers when there’s interference on the frequency that the drone is currently on, so it hunts for a new one with minimal interference. 🤟🏼
And yeah, as someone else mentioned, this controller communicates with the goggles only and they communicate with the drone. 🙂
Soooo.... Wow, why does DJI post this thing has an 8 MILE range (no wind at sea level and a few other specific settings), when it really comes nowhere close to that? Some serious false advertising.
Also, would you be able to dive down and buzz one of those houses or zip down the street at a low level that far out or would you lose connectivity with the altitude drop even though you have basically a clear line of site from up that high?
The RC link isn't between the Drone and the RC anymore like the RC 2. It's now between the RC > Headset > Drone.
it's normal that you have connection losses with the RC you must be in auto mode in terms of transmission so when it changes channel it changes connection so a loss is obvious ;)
Avata 2: "I can go far!"
Chimera: "You said what now?"
bro compared 7 inch with a cinny
On the way back on the second flight you were going at 25 m/s, much faster than going out so you probably wasted a lot of battery.
I really don't understand how you guys get so good signal with the Avata 2 :(. I am in Europe with the FCC hack, and I was barely able to reach 1900m with multiple near complete RC signal loss flying in a straight line at 120m in a place with no interference whatsoever and no trees. At the same exact spot, I was able to fly my mini 4 pro using the goggles and remote to the same 1900m distance without losing a single signal bar and only flying at 50m. In regular usage, signal strength is even way worse, and I can completely lose the avata 2 only a few hundred meters from me. Signal penetration is atrocious, and I'm always scared a single bush will completely disconnect my avata 2 😔
try doing it again with the latest update. Mine just got tremendous range improvement after the last update
@@judeabrigo278 will definitely try as soon as the weather allows it 👍
@@freyyru got any news on the range?
any news on the range?? did you find any solution?? thanksss
manual mode uses more power, if you used normal or sport youd probablygone further
Hello, I'm from Kazakhstan, very good educational videos, you have successful flights of high altitudes
is there a follow mode (vs fpv) in avata 2, so the video is stablized for long flight video?
My avata 2 only goes less than half mile 👎🏽👎🏽
Thanks for putting your drone on the line for this test so that we don’t have to 😂 Thanks mate!
I've been waffling on what my next drone is going to be and your videos have been a big help. Adding the Avata 2 to my kit in the next couple weeks, can't wait to get up some of the mountains out here with it. I wonder if the RC signal strength thing around 2500 meters is it switching from 5.8GHz to 2.4GHz?
Very good thought!
Can the software show miles/feet ?
Yes, it can. You just need to change it in the settings.
I appreciate the discussion was almost entirely in the proper units; I’ve always left my display in meters & m/s.
Why so slow
Why is the video blurry on the bottom ?
and shaky
@@martonprech7987 Looks to me like the bottom is a recording from the goggles, overlaid on top is from the drone.
Do I need to fly much higher? I didn’t even go 1/2 a mile and was already losing a lot of connection in my neighborhood. I was In between houses and trees though.
please do a video for best camera settings for avata 2
Danny, how about the max range for Motion Controller 3? I would think the transmission capability would be different between FPV Controller vs Motion Controller.
How can you get that added distance needed to get home safely? BY JUST GOING SLOWER, using less power. You lucked out getting back going fast. Great work on making this video.
Great Video, 2.6 miles in acro is awesome. I'm currently studying for my part 107, I already have 6 DJI drones, & a Autel Evo Lite + Premium Bundle, that I received june 18th, and haven't opened it yet. I just ordered the Avata 2 Fly More Combo yesterday. I have the Original DJI FPV Drone, & I still love my potatoe. Ive never flown in acro, but im going tostart practicing on a sim.
Hopefully I will like this Avata 2 as much, as my FPV Drone.
Interesting as not tried my Avata 2 yet as just rains every day, but with the first DJI FPV in manual mode although it was not really a range test as the max distance was around 1.4km but with a few loops rolls and dives at around 72mph I got about 6min out of it when it I decided to put in into RTH but when it was about 30m away from me I lost signal to googgles and no image at at all and I thought it may of just dropped, but it turned out that although I lost signal at 30m the SD card on the drone showed that it that did a slow powered soft landing and there were no light comming on the battery when pressed button on it. Was lucky that day it landed on land and not in cow dung and not 30m in other direction over the sea. I don't know if new Avata 2 will just autatically put a stop to manual manouvers and automatically go to RTH and actually get it home based on return distance and power required to get back. I assumed their first FPV would but was wrong.
I wonder why I could only see 400 meters in an open area. If it goes behind a rock then connection is getting lost. Do you use a different product or?
That’s awesome range on the avata 2. I want to do a long range test on my avata 2 here in Australia. There’s plenty of places just a few hours drive from where I live. I might bring my 7” LR fpv quad and use it as a comparison. I have the DJI electronics on it as well but with a larger battery. I managed 7 km range with my LR fpv quad. But I was being cautious and I’m sure it’ll go to around 10-12km.
Very Nice. Thx 👍. Do you know if the 10MHz channels have more transmit power than the 40MHz channels? Or do they all have the same transmit power?
The current record is 5150 meters, I'd be very impressed if you break that.
2.6 miles is nothing to complain about. I never fly my Avata 2 anywhere near that far. Looking for good penetration and having a good time is what it’s really all about.
I am loving the Avata 2! So much more fun than the Avata OG! ❤
The antennas are in the goggles, the controller only has a very mild RF signal that links to the goggles. You probably were getting interference from maybe either a wifi signal or mobile phone tower. I’ve had mine go to 3500 metres and it went into auto return to home mode, and I just let it do that. By the time it got back home it still had about 20% battery left. I’d only cycled it about 2 times before I flew it, so I know that after a few more cycles it should be able to go further before it goes into automatic return to home mode. I was using the motion controller 3 as I only had that at the time. For more distance you need to fly straight out and back, not going indirectly to your long range attempts.
hi, so if I use the FPVrc2 + goggles 3 (with the newest update) will it still do the same? or do the old way?(where the rc connects to the drone directly)
I’m not sure, because the rc 2 puts out the transmission with the AVATA and the goggles 3 puts out the transmission for the AVATA 2
wow super nice 👍👍👍
I live down in Florida so my long distance flights are usually over water! Not by choice of course lol I noticed in your video that your RC link dropped lower than your video link. I thought the video link is usually the first thing to go. Also, when I start getting around 20 GBPS I usually turn around. Someone told me that you get better range with the RC3 then the motion controller. Is that true? One last thing have you ever pushed the drone to the point where it fails saved and returned to home on its own. I would love to push it to its limits, I just want to be able to know if I can trust the return to home function. That is also one of the reasons why I bought this drone, because my regular FPV quads I just cannot trust as much as a DJI built drone. When everything works fine on my FPV drones it's a great world, but there are times when it fails safes and doesn't do what it's supposed to do so there is a lack of trust for sure! Just wondering what your thoughts are on this thank you excellent video buddy!
Make sure you increase the goggle FOV setting.
Also, that red flickering of the RC signal is the goggles changing to a cleaner band.
Itll let you know there are no more clear bands by coming home.
The RC sends the info to the goggles and they send it to the drone and the link is from the goggles to the drone. The RC does not need antennae as it only needs to worrk with the goggles. Which are generally close to you and turned on. The battery you need to be careful of is the goggles battery.
I thought that with the new goggles three and whichever controller you use that the controller communicates through the goggles and the antennas on the goggles communicate the RC and the video signal with the drone. That's why there's no antennas on the controllers. I believe I heard this on a mad tech video, But I still wonder why your RC link is failing before the video.
I love my MINI 3 with 38min flight time..:-)
plus I tested the range over the open ocean in Hawaii and did 5km out and still had FULL signal...then i turned and came back and still had around 30% battery...amazing drone that Mini 3, love it. All that for $330 drone from costco...:-) This Avata is way overprized for what it is!
That looks like the Springs. Any restrictions to be aware of in COS?
THanks for that!!!!
Avata 2 shouldn’t even have an RC link bar since the RC connects only to the goggles.
Amazing, I want my first drone, what model do you recommend?
Nice test.
Beautiful scenery 👍
do you need your phone to be connected to the goggles to get over 150ft? mine wouldn't go past that even with no limits selected in menu
Wow! What a beautiful place you have to fly at! There must not be much interference also
2nd flight you had 6:40 left @ 70%, 6:50 @ 60% and then only 2:44 @ 50%... Seems like crazy swings and info.. Less than 3 mins with 50% battery is spooky, even at 60MPH..
Think the flight time was about 9.5 minutes, a little less than the 23 minutes, but then again this is real world with some wind and at latitude not a sea level, I've got a custom build 3.5" cinewhoop that will do 13 minutes real world, looks like the battery would be the limiting factor on range with the Avata
When the battery gets low and the system goes into auto land mode, you can press the orange button in the motion controller to stop the auto land function.
why did it still fly forward when try to land on low battery? It'd be safer for it to hover and land vertically
As for takeoff, I always takeoff from the top of my car.
Where in Colorado? I live in the foothills and did not recognize.
Why does the Avata 2 execute a forced landing due low battery? Doesn’t it have a RTH feature?
Also, when you are trying to extend range, you should fly downwind. Aircraft terminology PNR (Point of No Return) refers to the point an aircraft needs to turn back to home with the fuel available, factoring in wind. PNR moves “into” wind. So basically if you fly into wind, the turnaround point is closer to you, but if you fly downwind, the turnaround point is further from you.
Is it because it doesn’t have environmental data? Because as per above, the environmentals change the PNR so it is no longer equal distant there and back.
Thank you for the video / documentary ! Amazing result for a drone with a tiny battery ! Having a mini 3 pro, seems to me it could go 5km (going & returning in straight line). I'm waiting to see the O4 system on a Chimera, or a Helion... I'd like your advice: is 1 LUT enough for the hole video, or depending of the sun, 2 LUT files (or more) should/could be used? Thank you again.
I usually just pick one to keep consistency throughout the whole video. But if one looks way better on another clip you can always use that one
Is that FCC mode? thats crazy
I’d like to know how to judge your height. You can have that center point to fly easier. But when flying through places or low flight how are you able to judge your height by looking through the goggles? Great videos I’ve like and subscribed. Keep them coming !
Thanks for the sub! Honestly you just get used to it when you fly a bunch
you fly too slow to go long range . fcc or CE?
Wonder if somebody far smarter than me, can invent a way to put a 2nd battery on the top of the Avata 2 to give it 2 times, flying time I’m SURE it could be done !
Never going to happen. The extra weight would just present ever diminishing returns.
More weight will mean less distance. Unfortunately it doesn't work like that or everyone would be doing it 🙁
So, you can hear Avata 2 from 300m distance 🙃
Really depends how you are flying, how the wind is, how much background noise there is. I can hover over my house at about 40 meters high and not hear it anymore at all.
Is it possible to deactivate the blurry effect in the bottom section of the picture? This would make me sick…
no blurry effect on the real video..he just overlayed the video from goggles to the video of avata 2..to show us the flight information
Nice video and great test results! Just wondering but do you have to have a spotter in the US when flying FPV like we do here in the UK?
Yes there’s a regulation for a spotter but many don’t worry, as I’m sure it’s the same elsewhere
@@rubengarciajr7560 Okay thanks.
I got 300m through obstacles in the forest. :D
same, 300m on urban area
damn i want one
i like to see information down .
Great video, thanks for the work!
Remember this: In case of RC going red, don't move the remote, adjust the goggles.. They transmit the signal from the remote to the Avata 2.
So weird the goggle strength stayed consistent
@Mcgeee true. I guess there might have been some auto channel switching like the other viewer was mentioning here.
Maybe only the rc signal was interfered by some strong signal coming from the houses nearby? Anti drone technique? 😅
It interesting that RC link strength seems to be weaker than video link.
Considering that FPC RC3 has no RF connection to Avata and only acts as a game controller connected to Goggles 3 it's a bit weird...
Yeah it's very interesting.
@@Mcgeee Do you have Goggles 2/Integra and FPV RC2 to repeat this test?
Which region are you?? EU or USA???
US
Enjoyed it. Great video!
lete me have it
