Bonjour, Très jolie vidéo 😂, très belle ligne, beau soleil couchant, parfait. Merci de France
7:00 you just captured someone down there walking, great! Thanks for sharing.
So epic brother, such a great way to show how freaking crazy this drone is. The fact it’s a cinewhoop is insanity 😅
Love Your videos
Thanks dude seriously! And all the GPS features make it was less sketch to send out that far lol
@@Mcgeee As mentioned above - resetting homepoint will give you 500m ALT limit from wherever you reset it - HOWEVER, your RTH will no longer work to bring the drone TO YOU - It will instead bring it to the point where you reset it - Sorry, that was probably obvious. Just keep your bearings.
Thanks for sharing your video of the Superstition Mountains - what a beautiful place. I've been out at the base of the mountains, but your aerial footage is amazing.
I think if u lost connection you *would* loose your drone here because the RTH would go to its altitude then try and come home. Up the mountain the RTH altitude of even 150m could be DOWN resulting in a crash. Must set a very high RTH altitude if u plan to fly UP in mountains like this... Or am I wrong??.

Danny, thanks so much for shooting and posting this incredible footage. You have seriously opened my eyes as to what the Avata 2 can do. A couple of days ago, I just bought the Mini 4 Pro and the Avata 2 with all the trimmings for both drones. It will be fun experimenting with both to figure out what my use cases will be for each of them. In fact I’m going to watch a video or two comparing them against each other.
I noticed that there seemed to be a street with houses very close to the mountains. If you parked there, you wouldn’t have needed to use so much of your battery power for the flight in towards, and back from the mountain…you would have a seriously longer amount of time to fly around them. I think that location is also at a higher elevation, so you would probably be able to fly above the mountains…another compelling reason to go back. I also saw a few caves which looked like they would be fun to stop at and look inside, through the entrances. Don’t forget to search for the mine entrance if you go back!
Speaking of which, I really would enjoy seeing you actually perform and post the longer video that I suggested above. The footage would be epic.
please do a video for best avata 2 settings. Very nice videos!
Great video!!! Beautiful landscape!!!
Thank you very much!
Incredible flight time for a range
Beautiful AZ! I'm a couple hours away from there. I love the avata 2.
Essas montanhas são lindas, voo super divertido, show 🤩
Was that a stick up there in that cave? 🤯 How the hell would that get there 🤯😉🤣 beautiful footage and thanks for sharing 😁 my avata 2 is on the way 😁
Would you say the Avata 2 does better with keeping connections while going behind hills and such? I feel like the Avata one lost connection easily anytime I dipped behind any piece of earth haha
that last line with the sunlight on the side of the rock formation is friggin epic dude, thx - PS did they remove the 500 meter limit?
Make a video settings video! Love your stuff man 🙌
So flying beyond visual line of sight works?
Do you need a spotter to fly out that far and how does the spotter see the drone so far away
Would nice be to put the OSD data as well to see like the distance you wentm the battery % and stuff:)
Another great video with beautiful scenery & wonderful flying & yes please release a video about the best camera settings for this drone. Thank you!
I had seen another video where the pilot had requested to fly higher in the DJI Fly app. He had flown up to 800m in his video. He said it is a quick turn around to get the release to fly higher.
What camera do you use for this shoot. I like the focus and blur fire
Thanks for the video! I have a question though...why couldn't you go above the mountains? The height limit is above ground, isn't it? An the Superstition Mts are not really high...
Hi, can you pls make a tutorial video on how to setup out position while shooting on a complex landscape for some range?
If you grab it and flip it to shut it off, is that activating a safety, or is it made to do that?
Sweet video. Your link to motion array was useful to me! Gonna sign up. Keep up the great content!
I just bought avata 2 and planning to do a job for indoor house tour. I found its so hard to fly with low light and also the normal mode with fpv rc 3 is way to fast
Please make an update for avata 2 for gain and expo for normal or enable beginenr mode for smoother and slower indoor drone control
Could that be possible whit the motion controller? that dive you did?
Sitting there with that thing on you’re head lol you gonna get jacked bro 🤣🤣
I am definitely interested in settings. I found I needed to crank framerate a bit to prevent headaches in the goggles. Also is it always better to take it off the drone vs the goggles? I do like the overlay at atimes
Just curious is it 500m above launch point or 500m sea level? Not much use if it’s 500m above sea level
Above launch point
❤❤❤❤❤ i want to try
Do you have a video on how to use Gyroflow?
Can you reset home point to get over the mountain
I've spent so much time hiking the superstition mountains as they are near my house. Danny this was just amazing to watch with this new drone. The footage was breathtaking! I"m very impressed with this drone from others flying it. My question if you see this or anyone else is what you flew and how you flew does that take a ton of skill? What about the hand held controller could you fly some of those sequences?
Please make a vide for the Avata 2 settings that you mention. Thank you. Awesome footage :)
Great informative video, Danny. Keep the great content coming!
When you were on your way to the mountains did you go close to the top speed or were you just cruising on a lower speed? It felt like it wasn't as fast as my avata, could have to do with the difference between CE and FCC, but I thought you were from America so therefore FCC?
Awesome footage and skills, looking forward to take my avata 2 out soon. Btw. I read the other day that the convenient rotating of the drone to stop rotors is not that good for the motors, is that true? Guess many people just copy others doing it. 😂
1400 line was sick for sure
Amazing footage man! 🔥
If you started at a higher altitude would it allow you to go 500 from where you started ?
Yes altitude readings are all above starting point I think.
What happens if you land the drone at a higher altitude then take off again? Does the altimeter reset? There was a guy in Shanghai a few years ago that did that on a tall building and "beat" the height limitation.
what is your choice for software for video editing?
at 4:04 you can see the mountain wobble around. is this normal for this drone and still shots?
I think it's windy and the drone is trying to auto correct its position
thats what happens when you buy the wrong mushrooms at the grocery store
Dude please request geo location unlock and do this over the mountain shot just to see it shining in full brightness :)
Great fun to watch and very informative. I noticed at 4:00 there's this mild 'wobbling' effect on the mountains. What causes that, or is it a RUclips artifact? (Sorry, novice when it comes to video creation & drones).
cool stuff ! i want this drone in the future!😍
At 3.55 to 4.43 the rocks look like they are moving or as if you are looking at them through water... why???
beautiful shots
Wide mode looks so much better to my eyes will being using that mode for sure 4k 30 FPS 4:3 13:40 Dive looks sweet ! pretty much why I got this drone for that view
Hi!How to disable battery low hover or rth to not interrupt my footage!?
Frame skip, thats a pretty serious flaw. you said you was on a pre release assume thats the firmware you talking about, has this frame skipping when file splitting been fixed ?
Thanks for sharing ! Does DJI Goggles 3 support screen recording (Goggles) ? It would be awesome if you can add screen recording (with flight distance, flight speed, altitude, gps signal, home point ... ) on your video for the range flight.
Did you change the rates?
Is the Avata camera the DJI O3 system that comes on other FPV drones?
The avata 2 now has basically an O4
@mcgeee i can't find the link for Motion array
Really enjoyed watching this, thanks man.
Just a question, I live in South Africa. A flight like this almost always attracts birds of prey, crows etc who like to take an interest in the drone, so Im petrified they will take it out mid-air. Do you worry about this, or have such issues?
You might consider resetting your homepoint mid-flight. This is how I cheat the ALT limit on my DJI mini 3 PRO. It is also 500 m.
I’ve done this before too when flying at altitude. It works pretty well if you fly, change, then rock and roll.
just hack to fcc mode.. unlocking fcc mode doesnt void the warranty
Thanks a good idea I’ll definitely give that a try
but dont forget to fly responsibly
Wouldn't resetting home point put it in the same spot though?
Very nice video, loved the location and the return home. Amazing
So What if you started closer to the base of that Mountain ridge? Would your limit then start from that point thereby pushing that 500m beyond that mountain top?
In otherwords, where and when does that 500m begin? From the Home point or is it actually calculating 500m above sea-level?
Cool video! Ive been flying FPV about 5 years. I am really enjoying the Avata 2 for things that are just too difficult with a traditional FPV drone! I'm in Florida so I'm getting the urge to fly over water more ! With a percentage rating, how would you rate your trust in the rth function if you loose the signal! I live in a heavily populated area so there isna ton of interference. My signal strength never seems to hold up like the videos like yours that are out in unpopulated areas. Do you see a big difference with that also?? Lastly when I fly with one or 2 other people, the signal strength struggles at times. We are all fighting for the bandwidth. Lol thanks Danny
The greenish blue colors were amazing
Why did you switch to manual mode and not GPS all the time ?
Hey Danny, my name is Chris and I live in Mesa. Nice job on this video! I'll definitely be watching your channel in the future.
Why did it look so slow going up the mountain in the first video? Was that intentional?
Could you have flown this with the hand joystick?
Awesome place you can fly😊 thank you for sharing. Didn't know that the limit is only 500m. Do you think that would change?
Can you use the orginal FPV controller with the Avata 2?
Fantastic - thanks for sharing :) I would love to see a settings video and also how you stabilise your footage in reelsteady :) Thanks and safe flying :)
Nice video. The frame skip problem can be solved easily by merging the two video files in Gyroflow before stabilizing. To do this, simply drag the two video files simultaneously into Gyroflow and it will ask you if you want to merge. Confirm and once it´s done, you can stabilize the footage without any issues. I also noticed the wobbling in some parts of the video. Can you comment on this? Thanks!!!
Gimball degrees?
Probably a dumb question, but I'll ask anyway. How do you know when you're too close to obstacles? I have a mini 2 and a pro 2. No fpv experience, but always afraid of getting too close to obstacles, whether it's tree tops or mountain sides. I'm a novice flier, even though I've had both drones for a couple of years. I just don't fly enough, mainly due to being a long haul trucker and only home a few days a week. I have taken the mini with me a few times, but don't have time in my schedule to stop and fly. Anyway, thinking of getting the Avata 2 and trying to bring it on the road. Maybe try to fly on the days I shutdown early in more remote areas.
At around 4:30 the static shot of the mountain looks wavy. Is that normal?
Not sure if it works but you can also land, maybe even do it by air, and update your home point at a higher altitude.
Magnificent views bro
Could you do this again with the OSD google view?
Those colors and lines were great. I can't wait to test my Avata 2 on some mountain ridges.
Have fun!
Do you know if the 500M vertical limit applies to the downside as well? Thx
Hermoso video, sería maravilloso que pudiera subir a 800 metros
If you're doing a long range test, you should really display the metrics as seen through the googles. Just sayin'
good point
Does that DJI 3 glasses only support for Avata 2 or we can connect it with fpv freestyle like run cam wasp. I am beginners so please help me to choose between goggle 2 or google 3. I want google 3 but not sure if it will work with run cam wasp or not. Thank you.
Great video friend 👌👍
Nice flight! I'm still flying v1. What's the best reason to upgrade? The camera?
Is that 500m above ground (agl)or msl? Mean sea level? It must be agl right ?
It’s would be 500m above from we’re you launch it’s the same with other DJI drones
I was wondering the same thing. If it was above sea level I can think of plenty of places in inland Australia that it wouldn't be able to fly and not very far inland either.
Yeah, above the point where you arm the drone…
How far did it go? DJI says it has an 8 mile range?! Most vids I have seen so far make it about 2 max.
Were your props bent or damaged on these flights? It seems to have a lot of jello. (1:00, 3:50 and 4:44)
Man I’m going to be there in 2 weeks. Lol. I need to find these spots to fly!
Is that the normal Range of the Avata 2?
Please do a video on best settings! That would be perfecto :)
Excellent flight, Danny. I'm subbing. Greetings from Montreal, Canada.
Thanks for the sub!
What are your thoughts about using the goggles with the mini 4 ? Is it worth the price ? Would you prefer the Avata2 over the Mini 4?
When these are used im gonna strip one down and put it on a 4” lr frame.
On the first flight the mountains are all wobbly when you reach the height limit. It looks really dodgy, I suppose it might be RockSteady not being very good. Any thoughts?
Nice video thanks. I have the same drone, with latest updates, I can only fly away maybe maximum 400-500 meters. I do not know why, I am at CE area (Turkiye), is it the reason? Does anyone know the reason why my avata distance is very low?
good video 👍
Would you know if you can dive like you do on this video with the motion controller? If so, I assume it’s not as easy.
You can’t really dive like that, BUT you can do footage that looks like you are diving like that using the head tracking mode. There is a Joshua Bardwell video about the avata2 where he explains it
Maybe they changed this, but in my experience, if you can safely land at a higher elevation at range, and then remotely start the drone again it resets the height limitation, so you will get 500m from your new elevation. Just need to make sure you're landing somewhere you can safely start up again.
can i use avata 2 as substitute to my regular drone like Mavic 2 pro?
So what's up with the wavy video in some of the shots like its wiggling back and fourth
Bad ass I flew that same spot a few months ago!
some sick terraim to rip out on fpv kwad
