Hey brother, I wrote you on a couple of your axis videos talking about the motor overloads and reached out to axis and walked thru it and beleive it or not no more motor overload after I turned the 4 bladed props the right way up. I had the hq prop logo facing down to ground and once flipped I flew it for 9 min with no warnings not one. Very happy camper now.
@@FPV-TV419 im really enjoying the hell out of it, tried some gemfan 3 bladed props and they feel great for my type of flying. hope all is well in your fpv world. fly safe.
@@richiefrankproductions Thanks for sharing Richie! I've been going mad with warnings and errors from the same issue.. Motor Voltage too low, Motor overloaded, Battery Overheating, Battery Voltage Low when it was fully charged, flipped them right side up going to try them out tomorrow. Just glad I found your comment :) can't believe you even talked to them haha! Have you ever received any Motor Voltage too low?
@@CreatorDrews hey brother, i havnt been on computerin a bit so dont want you thinkin i ghosted you. ihope ya got it all straightened out. answer your questionis yes idid get voltage to low and what i did to fixit was to solder a ticker guage wire to the positive side of the battery plug. the one they give you is similar to original except longer which i beleive caused the voltage to drop because after i soldered new wire i have flown at least once a day without issue. no messages, no anything but awesome.
@@FPV-TV419 Let's see if you can explain to me why I broke the lens but when I replace the camera it tells me a calibration error and I was not able to calibrate the camera. You tell me that if you change the module of a DJI03 unit with the lens included the calibration error will be removed.
Nice speed test. I was getting about the same MPH 66 to 67mph depending on wind conditions. . I noticed on a Full 100% charge it will get to 67mph really fast. Then after it gets to 85 percent it starts to stay around 55mph
Thanks dude. Yea I noticed the same. I mean its kind of a pointless test even though I did it 😆. Cos there's no time you could use the drone for filming anything and actually fly that fast. Cruises more like 40mph really..... but never the less interesting to see how fast it can go 😄
I had lots of stress cracks around where the bolts are mounted to the 3.5 frame and prop guards on the guard hole areas after a crash. I would inspect.
great video thanks. But for a quick info ; I do not know how is it with those Axis motors but I am able to fly the stock Avata till %5-10 with no problem especially if you are gonna just do cruising speeds. They even have some reserve juice even after hitting 0% as I have seen in one of the videos on youtube... I know that FPV drones might be different and you might get sudden power cuts and loose the drone in the middle of the sky but that never happened to me with any of my DJI drones before even if I push the battery till 0% ...
Thanks man. No the esc didn't cut off... but it must of had the overload warning for long enough for it to throw it into rth mode to save the esc... I've never had it do this under normal flying though, even very hard flying. Realistically no ones going to hold it flat out for more than a few seconds
Hey mate. Any way you can show us how you replaced the lens with the o3 air unit lens? I have a few scratches on my lens and it is pretty visible now in videos. I'm trying to see how this avata camera system is taken apart. Any help is appreciated.
Hi mate. I probably wont be able to help much as I dont want to take the camera apart again unless I have to.... But... it is fairly self explanatory when you start to look at stripping it down. There are 2 small Allen bolts on the bottom of the gimbal, undo these and the camera will come off of the gimbal mount. Then you'll notice there are 2 clips on the back on the camera that hold the ends of the camera onto the gimbal, these are fidely and you do need to take care prising them open. You need to basically carefully pull one side of the gimbal apart, you'll then see either 1x very small Philips screw or they may be one each side I cant remember. (You'll not be able to pull the sides off completely as the gimbal wires are inside. You just need to pull them far enough to access the screws) Once the screw or screws are removed from the sides of the camera, you can remove the back plate, then pull the mipi connector off. The camera is now free of the drone. Then there are 2x small screws that hold the camera module into the camera housing. Remove these, then pop the camera module out and replace with a brand new 03 camera (they are identical). Then re assemble in reverse order. You'll then need to connect to dji fly app (most recent version) and you'll get a camera calibration error, click the error on the app and it will calibrate the camera. There's not a lot to it, it is easy, but just be careful with the clips on the back when prising them open.
@Fpv-tv wow thank you very much for explaining this in such detail. I really appreciate this. I now have a better understanding of what I need to do. God bless you
Hiya mate. Axis supply the kit with 4 blade props. But i was using 3 blade props. The 4 blades give just too much thrust in my opinion, making the throttle hover position very very low. Almost awkwardly low. Whereas the 3 blades give a slightly higher throttle hover position on the radio
I crashed my Avata into the ground and had a similar lens scuff on it. Tried to buff it out, but only made it worse. Then Sent to DJI and they did a free replacement on the lens cover. I was never able to find where they sell the spare lens covers, but thought I would share.
I was able to find someone online that sells the full camera model but its about half the cost of the drone. Might just be better to get another drone and have it for parts if dji wont repaid it for you.
@BethePandaGames yea dji just want to control all repairs. I saw that gimbal too for half the cost of the avata... ridiculous money! I probably should update the description.... since filming this and editing, I have repaired it! 😁. I used the camera module out of the dji 03 system. Took the avata camera apart and the camera inside is identical to the 03. Then calibrate camera in the fly app and its all 100% perfect again. Cost £90 for a dji 03 camera. Dji wouldn't repair mine if i sent it to them I'm sure, as I have modified it with the axis kit.
@BethePandaGames yea ... its like ford selling you a car and saying we will only sell you tyres and windscreen wipers... anything else and you have to bring it back to us to repair. Tbh, once the axis frame is built, the fc and esc stack are very well protected. The only things your likely to break that dji won't sell you is the camera and gps module. Apart from those... you can pretty much repair the rest of it anyway. If you want to turn your avata into a serious cinematic tool, then this kit is perfect ! Carried my full weight hero 8 with no issues at all, couldn't even tell it was on there. I love this, as now it flies amazingly, but I still have the features of the avata that no other cinewhoop has.
@Fpv-tv hey can you do a video of how you did the camera replacement of the avata camera with the O3 Air Unit camera? I have a few scuffs on my lens and would like to replace it.
Hi bud, have you noticed any shaking when you didn't he mod? My 3.5 kit is on back order and the more research indo the more reports of shaking and motor overload I find. Great video.
Hi mate. No ... its been absolutely 100% perfect. I've seen many conversions that are also flying perfectly, so I can only assume that anyone who has issues is most likely an error on their part. It does occasionally come up with a motor warning, but it doesn't impact the quad at all. (I only had one time during this video that it really didnt like it, but that was beacuse i held full throttle for about 5 seconds and the battery wont like that either, and u wouldnt normally hold it full throttle during normal flight ) The only thing to watch is how hard you fly it... as the battery does get warm now. It's not a 5 inch ,6s freestyle quad....and it can't take that sort of abuse. But... what is it after this conversion is an amazingly stable , powerful 4s cinewhoop, with the best features that dji has to offer.
@Craig Davidson soldered directly to the board... was easier in my opinion. The factory solder is very soft. To make it easier though... id cut the motor wires longer (10mm ish) then just twist them (after soldering) before bolting the motor down. That way you have got to spend ages trying to get the motor wires the exact length. The most difficult bit to do was the power/ signal wires... not soldering them ... but trying to get them the right length, it's a tight fit where they go. Also the signal pin was loose in my og dji battery connector, so I just held the soldering iron on the back of the pin and it melted it into place so was then secure in the plastic connector. Any one that can solder can do it... just take ur time , the worst part is the soldering as its time consuming measuring everything.
Unfortunately because the battery ejected on impact it didn't save the video file... pretty gutted about that lol. Although it was in a field there were still lots of small stones as it was a recently seeded field. So I managed to hit a small stone with the lens. It didn't crack the lens, just chipped it. But I did hit the ground very hard 😆
Hey, at the time, only one shop in Europe sold them.. and they were ridiculous money! So I bought a dji 03 fpv camera (which uses the exact same lens and pcb) and just replaced it myself. Which was about 70% cheaper than buying the whole gimbal assembly 🤘
@@FPV-TV419 Also want to ask one thing. Do you think that you can add that avata gimbal to o3 unit? Did try to google that, but did not find any information.

@Fpv-tv did you get a motor overload error when going going top speed? I was getting that but I think that is normal for these new motors
I’ve been wondering how those prop guards will hold up in a crash. Rad video.
Thanks dude. Yea the ducts are far stronger than I thought they would be!
@@FPV-TV419 mine cracked pretty easy ruclips.net/video/zZ_97twNYeQ/видео.html it was a wall after a weird bounce on a good landing.
The avata is pretty tough, mine crashed out of a second story window onto concrete and survived with no problems!!
Yea the avata is like a tank! Very well built!
I had lots of stress cracks around where the bolts are mounted to the 3.5 frame and prop guards on the guard hole areas after a crash. I would inspect.
I've just checked and mine is perfect... and I've crashed it so hard so many times. Did you maybe over tighten the bolts ??
@@FPV-TV419 that could be it, when my new one arrives I’ll use lock right and just snug instead of using to much torque

I love your videos great comparison I have all the 3ins and pavo25 I'm making a video comparing all of them hope u see it! New subscriber!
Thanks dude! ☺️. I'll be sure to have a look at your channel!
DJI should make some shield for this huge lens. It suffers first when crashing.
They're called ND and UV filters. Also gimbal bumpers would help too.
Great video mate, why not try polish that camera lens with some fine cutting compound or brasso.?Sure you could sort it.. good luck
I actually replaced it with a brand new 03 camera and calibrated it in the dji fly app. Worked perfectly ... rescued it 😂
awesome speed test bro,when the motor overload warning you still go full stick ,the ESC cut off ?
