    Thanks for pushing it to the limit in a real world test, barely any reviewers have done this. You are the second. I just saw a vid of some indonesian guy make it 5 km out and back but he was flying towards a mountain and over there a lot less radio noise. He said get guards are bad for long range because the wind hit it so much.

    Btw, I’m from the same island :). I’ve Always supported local families, even when they move to the mainland. Unfortunately I lost all of my drones, and some items that you’ve reviewed back in 2021. Our house was the one that had an electrical fire in the rain, 1hour into the new year. Unfortunately I’ve haven’t been able to afford another drone, and build a custom drone to help with SAR. My custom drone could mount LiDAR and IR/FLIR attachments. Since I’m a 100% disabled Veteran, I used to be a dog handler with Maui dog tags and helped with assisting in with the two missing women Moira/Scott. But a year later I moved to Vegas to become a weapons instructor at NAFB. I got to train teams on VIP/HVT extraction and protection escorting, but my injuries from deployments finally got the VA to rate me from a 0% and 7 years of fighting for my issues being all service related. 03-13 I served in the army and straight to OIF outta high school and OEF up until 2012. 7 deployments and the VA denied everything that I claimed when I got out. Thanks to many of the people who played the system and because of stolen valor. That’s what made it really difficult in hawaii to claim for anything service related. Plus the VA in hawaii in general treat you as a someone trying to cheat the system, or a drug addict trying to get pills. Nevada, Texas, and Washington were the only states that helped my claims, and all of the staff actually cared. Unfortunately in hawaii, most of the staff are disgruntled veterans or civilians that just are there to collect their pay, and like to set off new veterans who come in for help, just so they can utilize their power by having the armed guard remove you from the building. Anyways, I hope in the future I’ll be able to pick up an electric bike and a drone. Keep up with the content, you’ve always done great reviews with items that I’ve been interested in, but it’s hard to tell if those content creators are being unbiased during reviews, because of the sponsorship with certain brands. So that’s why I’m glad to have found your channel when you started out! Mahalo & Aloha.🎃

    You are insane!! I can’t believe you’d go out that far to 50% without giving yourself some headroom to return. Also can’t believe that you didn’t just land before it got to 0%. It really is good to see what happens when it does get to 0% so glad that you dived in first.

    Last night I ordered the DJI Avata Explorer Combo including a hard case, Fly more kit, RC controller and hard case. Just under $2k. Supposed to arrive tomorrow before 10PM. I've had the Mini 3 Pro and was really impressed with it's cinematic features. But it was time to start getting into FPV. The Avata seems to be both a cinematic and FPV so I think it's a great transition into FPV before I go full balls to the wall FPV!

Bought the DJI FPV drone package a month later, with the Fly More Combo, Hard Case, & Motion controller. I really like the motion controller, it's loads of fun, & I hardly use the regular controller now. I'm considering getting the Avata, but I'm just not sure about it.

    It will be interesting to see if Dji make a battery for these that has a higher amp hour rating in the future, I know that this has been done successfully with power tool batteries whilst keeping the actual battery case size the same. This drone is currently number 1 at the top of my list, the shrouded prop blades being of importance with my intended use surveying land. Thanks for a great review and hi from Australia.

    Compared to your Avata 1 range test video from the same location. Things to note: Sport mode can achieve same range as Normal mode, Avata 2 seems to have similar transmission range as Avata 1 but can go slightly farther due to longer battery life, Avata 2 battery life seems to match max transmission distance well in average green environment

    The second half of the battery is never going to have the performance of the first, so turning at 50% in calm conditions pretty much guarantees you won't make it back. If you fly out with a tailwind then you are double stuffed.

    At 10:20 , the birds you see are thermaling, so they are in uplift, the AVATA drift naturally into the lift, like we do in paragliding, it explains why the drone needs to correct to the right... Edit: you can also see battery estimation time goes up, another sign drone is in the lift...

  • @JohnDeere_Simulations
    @JohnDeere_Simulations Год назад +2

    FYI, drones with lithium-ion batteries you can extend the battery by not charging the battery to 100% or going down to 0% going down to maybe 25 or 30% no lower than that and charging up to 80% and doing that overtime. Well add extra cycles to the battery That will extend it overtime. The health of it.

    the reason why it's eating a lot of battery on the way back is because it's battling against the wind coming from the right. That would definitely add up to the power consumption so it's always safe to return at around 60%, even better at 65%

    I’ve made it to 5 kilometres with my dji mini 2 and almost lost it. I went from glass house lookout to mount Tibrogargan on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia. I’d hovered over the mountain for about 3-5 minutes just looking around. I put it into automatic return to home from there, and at about 1700 metres out I noticed on the screen that it had stopped coming back home and was going into automatic landing. I pushed it all the way in normal mode and it started to sink again, so I had to keep giving it some up on the stick. At about 200 metres or so from home the battery was down to zero percent but I still got it back and didn’t have to go for a walk through the bush. I think that dji is conservative on the power left in the battery because they don’t want people complaining about losing their products lol. I was a bit worried for you for a while there, but was glad that you got it back.

    Even though Normal mode is the most efficient it is a bit of a trap.
    The max speed at N mode is not so much depended by the wind conditions and you cannot realize how strong is the wind. To test the wind I switch it to sport mode from time to time to see how much the absolute max speed is been affected so I can estimate my range with safety

    great test this drone was not made for long range its a cinewhoop, 95% of the time you should be flying low to the ground and objects range like this is better suited to a Air2s, I would give the example that this test was similar to 0-60 speed testing a Prius that car isnt made for speed and this drone isnt made to fly at these altitudes and distances. The tiling is caused by strong wind current catching the frame prop guards. This common for any cinewhoop flying at higher altitudes. In very strong wind it will even flip the drone over.

      I just got one too. It's really fun. Only issue is the battery life and charging. You need to get the fly more kit + a 100w charger to get the most out of the charging rate (faster charge). The regular rate is low on the single charger.

    You are nuts dude. That thing isn't made to take high winds. You are lucky you didn't lose it. Electric chopper is cool. Please post a link

    In the u.s you need an armature radio liscense and you're legally aloud to unlock the goggles without fear of getting locked by the fcc. Once this is done, you can double the range of the avata dji doesn't have an fcc license, but you're NOT allowed to make money with any footage you gain if the goggles are hacked for the extra distance and in the uk I'm pretty sure ham Is banned
