  • After wrecking the ‪@DJI‬ #avata2 for a 2nd time and a good time I will say that this is its major flaw! Not only is it not serviceable by us as consumers but it will void warranties if it is not repaired by DJI. While sipping on some ‪@DutchBrosTV‬

    Agreed. If they want to go with the integrated design idea, at least use more durable plastic. But really, it's a bad choice. Things break in this hobby/profession - that's Rule Number One. Design to repair - that's Rule Two. I think DJI will have replaceable hoops for the Avata 3. They tried an idea, it's not looking like a good one for many users. They'll catch on.

    • @erikduijsens
      @erikduijsens  3 месяца назад

      This. Even if you use bumper guards flying into something at 20-3mph will cause the plastic to dent deeming the aircraft not able to fly. Let’s hope they make a change in the next series.

    Crashed mine the other day and I did the same thing. With the help of 80 grit sandpaper, elbow grease, and a dream, she's back in the air... for now 😅
    Totally agree though. Way too flimsy.

      Yeah the unfortunate truth, it’s tooo flimsy. But some of the damages are fairly fixable with some elbow grease lol 😝

    @harley7804 3 месяца назад +1

    Same though here. Prop guard is the most likely part to damage. Bumper guards help nothing and even make it fly worse in some cases so I took mine off.
    DJI should make it prop guard replaceable.

    • @erikduijsens

      Bumper guards make the flight a lot less stable. I agree with the addition of prop guard replacement on the next series should be better.

      @harley7804 exactly. If I would have known there was no way to repair it I would have just bought an RTF drone from another company. Which I’d probably what I’ll end up doing anyways.

      I figured the bumper guards wouldn’t work well for crashes, not to mention aerodynamics.

    • @erikduijsens
      @erikduijsens  3 месяца назад +1

      With the added weight you can tell they are on. They are good for low speed impacts but outdoors I don’t think they would be super durable

  • @brandon9689
    @brandon9689 3 месяца назад +1

    The vast majority of Avata 2 claims are people filing a $50 claim to replace $15 worth of cracked plastic. Its quite a racket.
    I've had really bad luck with micros though since I got into the hobby. Everything I buy has no electronics in stock when it breaks. So I bought an Avata 2, to have at least 1 drone that doesn't have this issue.

    • @erikduijsens
      @erikduijsens  3 месяца назад

      It’s a little absurd I agree. From my understanding the avata 2 is an entry drone that is feature packed. If I wanted a drone that was possible to repair myself I should go a different route. This however is my first FPV so I haven’t gone the route of building my own. But I totally get where you’re coming from!

      It truly is, we spend upwards of 1200 on a drone and a slight impact bends the props. My mavic pro 2 has had worse crashes and still can fly. It’s a bummer.

      This video was made before carbon guards were available. I still don’t believe that they would protect against an impact but I’m sure they would look nice.
