I've had to shake so many drones out of trees and I can catch a ball OK but for some reason I'm drone-catch-challenged, soo unco. As it slams in to the ground missing my hands by 6 inches I just look and shake my head in disbelief. Your catch was masterful. Mark me jealous.
Day one... Crashed the Avata into some twigs at full speed (normal mode), it smacked on the ground, battery flying ... I put it back togheter and just flew off as if nothing happened. It's a pretty though one
You are the best...I've been fighting with my avata for 3 days...your videos made me understand how to start it...thanks a lot
12:17 man that was slick. every time i ever got a drone stuck in a tree it has been an ORDEAL.
I feel like the second gen of their products are always a big improvement and from there it’s more incremental so I will be waiting for the second gen of this to be my first FPV drone!
Where’s the mini 3 pro flight test? 😢
Also thinking the same thing
Agree, much more interested in that than fpv drone stuff..
We need it asap plz
Wow you all are impatient. Go easy on the Man
frr
I wanted to get into FPV flying but the short flight times and the long learning curve didn't appeal to me. And then along came the Avata. For anyone in a hurry to experience FPV, this looks like the way to go. Mine doesn't ship until the 30th of this month. Your video and experience gave me a lot more confidence. I've flown R/C for many years, fixed wing and a few drones, but this looks totally awesome! Thanks again Dustin, happy flying!
The motion controller really takes care of any problems where beginners might be hesitant about getting into it. It just makes it so incredibly easy to fly 🍻
Avata on order, waiting for your range test, always a favourite of mine. Keep up the good work Dustin.
Rcvd mine yesterday. I’ve been watching your videos and I feel I’m ready to go. Very very helpful. Cool, calm, you’re a good flight instructor.
Thanks and congrats on your drone...have fun!
When you look either all the way up or down, there are arrows which you hit to either have it fly straight up or down 👀
Always a good weekend when I get a notification for a new Mr. Dunnill video! Great review so far!. Watched the first half, and will catch the second half later on!
Another downside could also be price tag. $1K for a tiny whoop? Lol
Great video Dustin, I just purchased the avata. My 3rd drone now. So glad I watched your videos before attempting my first flight. I think I’m ready to go now. Wish me luck and I’ll remember to watch the drone and not the satellite receiver. Thank you for time on teaching us with our adult toys.
Have watched a number of reviews on this drone...in a couple of them the pilot all of a sudden loses control and crashes after a left turn in each video..in one instance the pilot was near the water/lava line and was unrecoverable...would suggest keeping it in an area where recoverable at least until recognized by DJI that this may be a problem and not pilot error and can be fixed....also has been found that the home point changes unexpectedly on its own...congrats on your new place!
Great test flight with the new Avata FPV drone. I'm glad it survived the crash. And congrats on your new home in the Southwest, it's beautiful. I'm sure you will enjoy it. Thanks for sharing Dustin.
Absolutely incredible I've got to get one now, I've been researching these this was very helpful
That was the MOST enjoyable 29 minutes of my day! I LOVE my Avata and the motion controller allows you to really fly intuitively. thanks for the beautiful views!
A nice catch and a very good demonstration,( although unintended I’m sure) of the durability of the Avata!
Love how agile and responsive the Avata is. Also nice catch!
Great review Dustin! Congratulations the newest edition and the new home. Aloha.
Thanks Dustin. Looking forward to the range test and congratulations on the new home. Looks like you have quite drive to the nearest beach 😁
Awesome, so glad you're back.
fr
Good test, but I just can't get on the fpv, bandwagon, it like riding a Rollercoaster with loops,they make me sick lol. To each his own, I just don't like getting dizzy.
I got dizzy and felt sick for about the firs 5 or ao flights when beginning FPV years ago. Most people adapt and it goes away but some don't 🍻
Great video of the avata exploring…and great catch from the tree🙌😄
Love the new environment! Great flight and review. When you went looking for your Avata, I said please don't be wearing slippers when I saw the cactus on the ground! Take care, Aloha! 🤙🏾
😂 gotta get one injury or snow it seems before I can let my slippahs go lol 🍻🤙
Dustin your reviews are always kick ass keep the good work
Awesome proximity flying around your new property. Looks amazing!
Excellent flight test Dustin!! Glad everything is going well for you & the family. Looking forward to the range test 😊
The man the myth the long range tester is back baby!
Nice place you have there. I like the privacy you have. Flying my DJI fpv last weekend in my Neighborhood got the cops called on me.
Dang! Public & drones don't mix unfortunately 🤦♂️🍻😂
@@DustinDunnill yeah you’re right about that. I just hate packing everything up to drive to the park to fly my drone for 5 or 10 minutes. Also taking the chances that there isn’t to many people at the park. The cop was cool and said I didn’t do anything wrong and could still fly but I’m not doing it to piss people off. I’m just in joying the hobby. I told the cops I wouldn’t fly there anymore anyway. Like I said I don’t want to piss of neighbors, and I don’t want people to get anymore of a bad taste in their mouth then already for are hobby. Just means I get to fly that much less unfortunately.
Loved this! Really great narration and I loved flying through the “gaps!”
Thanks for the video Dustin, and very looking forward to your famous range and battery life test. I would probably just get the drone and use my V2 goggles and radio from my FPV drone
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have not yet decided whether to buy this drone, and I am little confused why every other youtuber who reviewed the Avata did so with the FPV controller. You are the only one who tried it and used it and flew it as it comes out of the box with the motion controller. Yes, I know it is limiting, but it is how it is sold and from what I have seen, the FPV control is scarce at the moment. Great review, this puts me closer to getting one soon.
I feel like waiting for another fpv to get the best of previous releases in perfected form
Awesome video brother, that avata looks really fun. I'm wanting to get into fpv. Really nice scenery around that area, looks like an amazing place to fly. We'll stay safe brother, I can't wait till the next vid
Gray video Dustin, I think this little guy is a great contender for my next drone! Couldn't help admire this beautiful place and the surroundings, where is this at? Cheers! 👍🏻🍺
Nice review, I just filmed a video chasing down a mountain bike with my new Avata and had a couple crashes as well! 😂
Welcome to the Southwest, from a Tucson viewer. Nice place and nice area.
Appreciate the long-form vid here, nice content 👍👍
Love the new house bud, it looks so much bigger than your last place.
As always, I love your reviews and tests and your family way of presenting information. Interesting to compare Southwest to Hawaii in flights.
Congratulations on the new baby and the new house. I’m sure you are going to do a flight in manual mode (acro) with the controller. It is supposed to go much faster and more agile in manual. 🤙
Another great video Dustin
You can try turtle mode and that should flip it back over. You access turtle mode through the goggles. You can also program the C1 button to turtle mode if you have the FPV controller v2.
Thanks. I did try to activate turtle mode in goggles but drone overheated and shut down just as I accessed it through the goggle menu 🍻
Great review as always. Love the new house!
The intro got me lol. Right into the tree
Great video as always Dustin! Very enjoyable.
I enjoyed your tests flight, Dustin; looking forward to your range test
Man that things sounds like just a very loud tiny whoop. The avata is awesome
The video shure made me see a bigger picture of the little beast. I think I will buy it soon. Just a few videos closer... Thank you.
i always choose my drones when i look at your reviews, looking forward to your opinions about the mini 3
Great fun Dustin. Excellent test buddy. :)
🎶 Guess who's back..... back again..... Dunhills back.....tell your friends..... Dunhills back ..Dunhills back Dunhills back Dunhills back.... let's goo baby
Few points. Gps is only accurate to within metres so the return to home won't be perfect. Becareful pointing the drone down when doing down hill. It seems to be a bug and as you found, it suddenly dives for the ground after you push it for a while. Happens when ground is falling away under the drone and you want to keep down low.
I just got the mini 2 a month ago. Now I'm going to get this soon
That starlink dish is square, mine is round. Is the square an improvement I wonder..? Love the Avata review!
It's the 2nd gen dish. Supposed to be less power consumption and easier/cheaper to manufacture.
Hi Dustin,
Thank you, haven't watched your post's for awhile, what happened to Hawaii????
Strange looking at an entirely different landscape.
Still have my DJI combo mini original, and having hours of fun.
The Avatar maybe my first FPV the first model had me concerned about damaging props and arms from crashing, but this model alleviates these concerns.
Enjoyed your first review excellent.
Perth WA
I love your content!!!!😊
Always controller first like you said its all digital what if the bird took off. Always controller first.
great review Dustin, really enjoyed it!
Good catch! Moral of the story, only crash into trees you can shake. LOL
Waiting for the range test of this little guy.
The tree felt lonely and wanted a hug! 😂
Nice flying and scenery - looks like the Payson area!
Oh man this looks so much fun even in normal mode & great for fpv newbies like me who struggle with massive learning curve of normal fpv quads.
Unfortunately winter is coming & it's eat or heat .
PS it does have turtle mode .
By the time I accessed turtle mode in the goggle menu the drone overheated and shut off in the tree 🤦♂️😂🍻
Dustin,top job. see u raound!
Nice place you have Dustin. Looks like you will have to adjust to some winter like weather if your there from November on. Thanks for the review, I have had mine a week (both controllers) and I'm really liking this drone. I didn't have the cajones to try flying into a tree, lol, but it is a durable drone as we have seen from other reviews. All the best, and enjoy the new digs..Cheers from SE Utah. BTW Dustin, with the fpv controller 2 in manual mode you will get about 60 mhp....
It'll be great to experience the seasons here (Im hoping). Glad you're enjoying your Avata 🙂🍻
Great Review cheers Dustin...
Man its been a long time since we met back in 2015 but you sure helped me with my F550 . Well 9 drones later I just 3 weeks ago got the DJI Avata with Motion Controller and Goggles 2 , this is the drone I have been looking for since my first drone . Somehow the bell got turned off and I have missed no telling how many of your videos , but that's fixed now so hope to be talking with ya again . Great video on the Avata . I don't post as ofthe as you but I put up a new one 2 or 3 times a month check em out when you have time , Oh yeah hit the bell also lol .
Just a FYI, but those silica packs are not doing anything. They were likely already dead before you even got the package. Once exposed to air, they absorb moisture til full and then die. They need to be recharged by drying out in an oven or thrown in the trash. Just thought I’d mention that. Silica packs have a very short life unless put in a sealed container like an ammo can or something…. that doesn’t get opened.
An easy bit of moisture insurance that takes up minimal space regardless 🍻
@@DustinDunnill What I'm saying is that it's not insurance.... because it already filled itself with moisture long before your package arrived. It's not doing anything anymore. If
you recharged it by drying in an oven, or put a new one in the bag..... it would work again..... for about a week until it's full of moisture again.
Good demonstration. Looks like my ranch land over in the NM mtns.
You can hit max speed when you are in manual mode. But it will be in true FPV mode with less "hand holding" safety margin. You'll need to use the FPV controller to use it in manual mode top speed and not available with motion controller far as I can tell.
I'll have to bind it to my FPV 2 controller. I feel a bit safer flying this one manual than the first honkin big DJI FPV drone 🍻
As nice as the forest is....I miss your Maui drone footage. More to see. Lol.
Nice recovery! I'd love one of these but the wife would kill me. Maybe I could sell my M2P. Thanks for the practical review.
What neighbors????LOL. Really helpful video. Thank you.
Lovely house, drone has nice crisp video but it's noisy, I like quiet drones.
When I grow up, I want to be just like you!
Great video Dustin
Also using viasat internet but was knocked offline for several months due to a cyber attack on its infastructure but have been back online with a sketchy connection but am also looking into the starlink as a back up internet connection. Oh almost forgot, guess whos drone crash i would like to use in my long awaited compilation ? 🙂
Glad you're back online mate. You can use my crash no prob 🍻🍻
I'm wondering, since you have more shaded areas, if you have D-Cinelike turned on, would you have better view discerning through the forest?
Good idea. I'll give it a go 👍
Hey Dustin, along with my camera drones, I fly fpv also. Not sure if I would like the motion controller . I do like that it shows you the homepoint. Nice looking house , and the landscape looks awesome..
Home point is shown with the other FPV controller you can bind up also 🍻
It will go much faster in manual mode with a radio.
👍
love watching your videos . please tell me that is not red dye in your hummer feeder? if so just use sugar and water ..the food coloring hurts the birds..if its red glass please disregard
We bought the red concentrate from home Depot. I'll mix our own natural solution from now on. Thank you for the info! 🍻
@@DustinDunnill yeah a lot of places sell it but it's harmful to the birds 🐦 thanks for your response and the great videos you put out.
Long time Dustin, I see you moved and of course you'd be the reviewer I'd find with the drone I'm looking at for indoor security use lol. Nice to see you're still at it 🙂
thanks for sharing! great review
Yeah it’s 18 mph in normal and 30 in sport, but if you have the ordinary controller and go in to manual it will do 60
👍
I like that ' shack mode'!! 🇧🇿🇧🇿
_it's really fun flying with Dji Avata, an extraordinary experience and we can't find it in Aerial drones, thanks for sharing my friend_ 👌
Nice catch !
Would be cool if you could try out the regular DJI controller with the Avata. :)
I will shortly 🍻
Great catch man.
From my experience when you’re flying the drone, you should always fly away from trees in the field not near the powerlines or whatever but if you get your drone stuck in the tree one thing you should not do is turn on your motor to try to get out trust me I’ve done that before and that will burn out the motor Real quick.
Where is the Mini 3 pro?
Where is this at in the world?
might be cool to attach the motion control to a flight stick base. i would imagine people have done that for vr flight sims on quest 2.
Aloha dustin! 🤙
nice review and fly. I am very interested and one day I want to own a dji avatar, the price is too expensive for me in Malaysia. need to save monthly salary for a period of months to have it. but I will try to have it.
Beautiful review!! This proves that if flown correctly,, there's not wrong with this Drone... Bravo!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
??? What did I win??? Or was that not you???
Nope. Scammer. Be careful and report them 🍻
@@DustinDunnill Report them??? Says its you,,, do I Report you??? 🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅 I already knew it wasn't you,,, you would think this has gotten so old they would be bored with it by now...
If you click on the fake avatar either in email or their comment it will take you to their bogus channel with no videos where you know it's not me. Then you can click on "About" tab, then flag 🍻
Aloha, brah. I just got my Avata a few days ago. Have not opened it yet. I did watch many videos about the Avata before buying one. However, there is one major issue (unexpected crash doing a turn and bank), which I hope DJI will fix soon in the next update. BTW, welcome to the mainland.
Haven't experienced that but thanks for the heads up 🤙🍻
nice video. thank you for sharing.
you can upgrade the motors and yes it will go faster not sure of the top speed after update.
Hi Dustin congratulations on your new home bro it sure looks awesome. If I thought there where rattle snakes knocking around I sure wouldn't be wearing slippers and shorts lol. You did a good job getting the drone back after crashing into the tree bro. Your a brave man flying through small gaps like that. I wonder if you can help me bro when I bought my drone (mavic Air) I got the fly more version with 3 batteries the other day I wanted to have a few hours in the local fields so decided to charge and update everything. I put all three batteries into the multi charger and only two charged when I checked the third wont even light up on charge is there anything I can do to rescue this battery bro? I hope you don't mind me asking you? Thanks again bro for another great video please keep them coming Regards from the UK.
Battery sounds defective. Did you try it on a different port or maybe try charging it in the drone
