one could posit that one could achieve better cinematic fpv shots with motion controller and head tracking on avata vs manual sticks, at least faster learning curve. great vid just what i was looking for!
Thanks for posting this! Easy queazy lemon squeezy, but I gotta tell ya, it takes some getting used to. The "queazy" was real for me at first. It only happened when the head tracking was on, and that was because it took a while to distinguish my head movements from my motion controller movements vis a vis what I was seeing in the goggles. I had to get to a point where my mind automatically - and correctly - predicted what I should see with each movement, and that just takes a little time.
me and my bud was out flying the avata today and chasing some of our drone cars and he said do I use head tracking I said no bc I dont use it on my phantom 4 v2 pro and he said you need to and I said next time well next time I will thanks to your video. Thanks again bud its awesome!!
Thank you for sharing. I have been trying to "rap my head" around this since I got the drone. now I think I get it. I liked and subscribed to your channel.
You're a gifted man. How is it that you're able to use both you hand and your head, while standing and talking is beyond the comprehension of my vestibular system. For me, that would quickly end up with a bad-bad nausea 🤢
Nice guide, it's a pity there is no translation into Polish, my English is poor and I don't understand much, but the movie is ok. Interesting channel 👍
This may sound really weird (and very stupid), but to get my head around flying with head tracking, I would hold the arm without the controller the way my head was pointing. My two arms would make an angle so I could better understand what was going where. Also helped me figure out that doing the "crucifixion pose" was how to go backwards. A skill that will be worthless in a few days when my RC2 finally shows up. Also, no gloves?! It's cold, you madman!
Oh?! Maybe THAT'S why my Avata got stuck going backward! It freaked me out - I squeezed the trigger to go forward but the craft went backward, and I couldn't get it to change back to normal. I had to do a RTH and restart everything. But it all started after a move where I looked one way and turned the other way. Mystery solved?
Wow, a RUclipsr that actually replies.😂 I think the hardest part about all of this is getting everything linked up, and synced up. I spent 1/2 a day till I found out I had to download some new stuff to my Com 2 so that it would link. But I know it will be worth it. Again enjoyed this one and now waiting for the rain to stop and go out and try the motion control and what you showed. Thanks
@@nustartwellness4454 I have a feeling we both started about the same time. I also struggled getting it all connected, firmware updated, and synced, but now I'm flying all over the place, including inside my home. As a real estate photographer, I plan to created "fly-through" videos of homes. I do my first one this afternoon. Unfortunately it's not furnished, but will be good practice. I'm using the free GyroFlow software. That really makes it look great!
Im wondering are the goggles and controller in sync with each other no matter which way you're facing like, Your 12 o' clock is the always the same even if your body decides to turn a 180 yet your goggles and controller are still relative to each other?
The camera is linked to the head tracking so where you look is where the camera points. The motion controller controls the flight so it does effect the camera as well but it is more exaggerated with the head tracking on.
Not totally...it allows you to look in different directions even if the drone is flying in a different direction. So let's say you are flying straight and want to see down and to the left. Instead of turning the drone that direction you can keep flying straight but still look down and to the left by just moving your head in that direction.
@@BobsWorld_375so if im flying in a straight direction and I do not move the controller at all, but I look left, it will continue to fly in the original straight line? Kinda like driving down a straight road and looking out they side window? I'm still driving straight, but I'm looking at what im passing? Anyway, that was a long question. I think i'll just go try this now and find out, 😂

The Avata was the answer to my cinematic flying dreams . Great tutorial thanks . You have a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year .
You too!

Same here….but when it clicks it’s worth it!
This is awesome! I was always curious how the two would work together. I'll deff be re-watching this once I get one
Thank you!
HAPPY FLYING ITS ALWAYS GOOD WHEN I GET THAT NOTIFICATION GREAT VIDEO
Thank you!

Awesome man I hope it helped! Sounds like a lot of fun I need a drone buddy! :)
@@BobsWorld_375 you have one here bud!

lol not sure about all of that but definitely have had my moments where I have gotten super dizzy.
Thanks Bob… I now have some homework to do…
Great tutorial. Many thanks 😇
Glad to hear it's helpful...thank you!

I tried this. The park ranger said there’s a good chance it’ll come back down when all the leaves are off and we get some heavy winds.
😂. . . did he also write you a ticket for flying in a park?
Great vid buddy

@@mediamannaman happened to me to freaked me out …just turn head tracking off then back on
@@BobsWorld_375 Thanks!
Excellent
Genius !!!!!
Great Video.
hope avata 2 less noisy
Very helpful. Question? Which controller would you use for indoor flying?The controller 2 or the motion?
Thank you! Actually I only use the MC for all my flying. I would say it’s whatever your the most comfortable with.

Head tracking is just to "see" where you are?

Instead of turning the drone that direction you can keep flying straight but still look down and to the left by just moving your head in that direction.
Does the head tracking "fly" the drone too? Or just the controller does that?
Just the controller movements

lol yep! You will fly in the direction of where your controller is pointing not your head. ;) @@TheInvisibleRedneck
its not even perfect orbit..
