Impressed with how DJI addressed most of the shortcomings of the first Avata in their very next increment. Apple on the other hand takes ages and is notorious for minor incremental releases. So glad I held back on the Avata - 1.
I got my Avata 2 dropping Monday. If it handles better then Avata 1 and the quick moves can be done in a realistically easy way in acro then I’m definitely going to be happy. Great video Russ
That’s great. I love your excitement ! I have a Phantom 4 Obsidian model. I think this NEW model makes it time to upgrade to a whole new world from what I have !!
Gotta say I just watched a guy walk around obstacles and pick up objects with pass through mode on in his yard , he made it look easy . I just ordered the fly more combo kit an hour ago . Can’t wait
Just got the Avata 2 yesterday! Been a sUAS pilot for about 4 years, P4P, Mavic, Air 2, but never flown an FPV. Super excited to get into this Cinewoop Avata 2. Gonna plan on learning to pilot indoors confidently so I can use my Part 107 and make video tours for realtors etc.
Russ. Thanks man! I always appreciate your thoughts. I passed on the original DJI FPV thinking it was too heavy and cumbersome. I also passed on the original DJI Avata. This time, the Avata 2 seems much more refined, so I think it's time to enjoy the thrill of FPV. Looking forward to it. Thanks again Russ.
Agreed. Get the 3 battery fly more bundle. I'm returning my single battery. Just not enough to enjoy it. Specially if you drive to remote locations just to fly for 15 minutes. Make is worthwhile and have the freedom of 45 minutes fly time.
Russ, I have watched almost all of your videos over the last few years and they are always so well done, informative and helpful. Thanks for making this one on the Avata 2.
Very nice my friend. Thank you for the informative review. Very helpful.... As well here's a little info many don't know regarding drones. Drones fly level & straight-out, they stay at height regardless of distance flown. There's no angle changes had. There's no rise, no dip, drop or anything else. Drones fly & stay at starting height regardless distance flown. If you force the drone to adjust & correct for claimed globe curvature, it crashes. Enjoy this information. God Bless & Be Well my friend & friends.
Fantastic Review!! I have been thinking about getting the Avata and now that the Avata 2 is out, your review just made me want to get one. Keep up the great work!
I wish the other price was still for today. I just paid just over $1,600.00 last Friday. September 6th 2024. Still have a blast flying this drone! Very easy to fly!
I am probably going to go FPV again with this drone. I used to build my own racers years ago but that become a lot of work (due to multiple impacts with stationary objects). Thanks for all the info you provide, your mini4 pro vids convinced me to buy it and I've enjoyed every flight. Since these goggles work with mini 4 pro it's like getting 2 for one.
It looks like a fun drone!!!! I also like how it can transfer battery life from one battery to another in the charging bank!!!! Thank you for the review!!!
tht look awsome and like so much fun. i was about to buy the first avata and i go t notified that they were making a second. i am so happy you made this video. it hs really nice features. thankyou for making this video cant wait for more in depth vids
Great video. Really looking forward to the Avata 2 as my entry into FPV. I made a deal with my friend today that I'll pick one up in September after most of my busy season is winding down and he said he will take that deal and get one then as well.
Haha, noise and lousy battery life stopped me from buying the first iteration. Quote of 23 min would be fine IF you can get it, but you won't specially if you go above normal speed (17.9 mph). As for as terrible noise and level... guess we will need to see what the meter says, you measured right?
Thanks for the great review and giving us the pricing right up front. The first question in buying is, "Can I afford this?" As for the Avata 2, I don't see it as adding enough of the right features for me to move up from my Avata 1 (which I use for documentary footage, not for fun). Maybe I missed it but am wondering if the camera will aim straight down without seeing itself. Thanks again, Russ!
Thank you Russ for your in depth analysis. I've been watching your videos for years now and they are always informative and enjoyable. I've got a Mavic 1 which I fly as often as I can and also the first Gen DJI FPV. Both are terrific but the FPV is so much fun using the Motion Controller. I just wish the MC was just a bit smaller to grip. It's not hard to hold but doesn't quite feel perfect in my clutch. Anyway, keep up the great work and I look forward to more content from you.
Great review. I am super excited about this release. I kept waiting to pull the trigger to get an Avata, and now I am glad that I did. I would love to get one of these. Thanks for all the great content!
Coming from FPV and "tiny woop" drones hobbit, I kind of left all that because it was too much money to spend on the remote + batteries + goggles + props...etc But this new version of FPV drone from DJI, with that attracting price and HQ video streaming in the goggles as well, is indeed very tempting. Thanks for the review video !
Absolutley love this dude, would not buy one if it wasnt for this honest review, If I got lucky for the link, will make sure to snag mine from the affiliate link - much love for the transparent review
Awesome review - I think the Avata 2 will be my first FPV drone. Just getting into the drone scene after spending most of my life involved in aviation (Private Pilot SEL, Professional A&P Aircraft Maintenance Technician). Having gotten a Mini3 fly more package as a birthday gift I’ve gotten totally hooked and considering a Part 107. Very impressed with the Mini3; my only concern is the fact that I only used the drone three or four times and the controller already died and had to be sent in for repair which takes 4+ weeks here in Germany. This doesn’t inspire much confidence in DJI products and I’m hoping it was just a very unlucky fluke. Stuck watching videos instead of making my own, I’ve watched dozens of FPV drone videos and I’m convinced the Avata2 will be an excellent choice for a first FPV drone.
Good evening Russ …. Great job on this video. I purchased this on opening day and feel this will be a useful tool for me in law enforcement. I will need to watch your video a few more times so I can get better at moving around in the menu. Thanks again and probably could use the added insurance lol
Great overview. Some reviewers missed the usb charging on the Arvada 2. One even said it wasn’t possible. Hoping to win the DJI care refresh plan too! Thanks.
I'm not a FPV kind of a guy. But it looks kind of fun doing tricks. But, I could use a "Care Refresh Plan" for the Mini 4 I hope to get soon. Thanks Russ !
I have the original and am going to get the new one. I love the Avata. I personally don’t know if I could last more than 20 minutes without becoming fatigued wearing the goggles that long. This is a great review Russ. I still remember your video where you were trying to fly in manual mode. If my memory serves me, there were a couple bleeps. 😂

I’m glade I waited. Can’t wait to purchase the Avata 2
I have to get one! Love your videos!
Ordered mine this morning, first drone I have ever bought on launch day. Was thinking about picking up the Avata 1, glad I waited.
Russ can’t thank you enough for all you do. We can always count on you to present information like you’re
having a conversation with good friends.
Impressed with how DJI addressed most of the shortcomings of the first Avata in their very next increment. Apple on the other hand takes ages and is notorious for minor incremental releases. So glad I held back on the Avata - 1.
Thanks, you are always "spot on, honest, self reflective, and believable" which is soo refreshing...
I got my Avata 2 dropping Monday. If it handles better then Avata 1 and the quick moves can be done in a realistically easy way in acro then I’m definitely going to be happy. Great video Russ
The Avata 2 is amazing. I think this will be my first FPV drone.
Currently waiting for it to be delivered today, I felt that!
Thank you for being an advocate for safe flying and for always staying engaged with new products and innovations coming from DJI
Succumbed to the hype. Just ordered one. My very first FPV drone.
That’s great. I love your excitement ! I have a Phantom 4 Obsidian model. I think this NEW model makes it time to upgrade to a whole new world from what I have !!
I really appreciate your real world reviews!
Thanks Russ, you've helped me to decide to buy my first Avata after 4 years of owning only an MA2. Always appreciate your great videos 👍
Gotta say I just watched a guy walk around obstacles and pick up objects with pass through mode on in his yard , he made it look easy . I just ordered the fly more combo kit an hour ago . Can’t wait
Heading out to buy it later today. Thanks for the review!
Thank you for the amazing tutorial! I just bought an Air 3 but I will be looking to add this to my collection. Have a great day!
i did as well.. especially since the goggles will work with the Air 3
I held off buying the OG Avata because I knew the 2nd generation would be that much better. And now it's here and worth the wait!
My eyes have bugged out in VR goggles, but the smoother cinematic feel of this.. I am really ready to take the jump to FPV with this v2
Just got the Avata 2 yesterday! Been a sUAS pilot for about 4 years, P4P, Mavic, Air 2, but never flown an FPV. Super excited to get into this Cinewoop Avata 2. Gonna plan on learning to pilot indoors confidently so I can use my Part 107 and make video tours for realtors etc.

After flying DJI drones since the Phantom, the Avata 2 will be my first FPV. Thanks for the good review.

Thank you for your honest reviews. I am buying this drone as a beginner fpv drone and can not wait to start flying it
Got my Avata 2 in a couple of days ago and already love it.
Russ, I have watched almost all of your videos over the last few years and they are always so well done, informative and helpful. Thanks for making this one on the Avata 2.

Thanks for the video. I'm still happy with my Avata 1.
There were other reviews, but right from the start I looked forward to yours and I'm glad I did.
The Avata 2 seems like a great update to the first version, especially the camera. Great review, and thanks for sharing.
14:51 similarly to AppleCare generally wish I had gotten it🥺
Every time I see your videos. Those lights in the background remind me of stock candles. lol. Glad the last one is a green candle
Great review, Russ. I picked up my flymore combo this at Best Buy. Just finished charging all batteries. Testing flying this evening.
Said i wasn't gonna upgrade, then i upgraded. Im ready for the fun!
Just got mine out for the first time, Great Drone!
Thanks for the review! A lot of insights. I just got mine yesterday. You helped answer some of the questions I had being a first FPV drone.
Russ I just got my Avata 2 as my first drone, you inspired me to try out FPV. Consider me for the refresh plan lol
Very nice video! I absolutely love the Avata. Looking forward to purchase Avata 2
Great summary, can’t wait to get my hands on one.
Just purchased my first drone the Avata 2 from Amazon. I receive it tomorrow.
I've been waiting for this one. 😁👍🏾
They seem to be on path for another dynamic year, really neat to see the much larger onboard memory!
Thank you for all the amazing content! Can't wait to get an Avata 2 👍😎
Russ, as usual the most informative and complete assessment. Thanks Blue skies...
It looks like a fun drone!!!! I also like how it can transfer battery life from one battery to another in the charging bank!!!! Thank you for the review!!!
Great video! Getting mine in 2 days. Can't wait!
I have the first Avata and have had a lot of fun with it. I'll likely upgrade to the Avata 2 if I can sell my old one.
Great video! Look forward to see more of your videos on the Avata 2.
Again what a great video! Can't wait to see what you have up next!
after flying my mini 3 pro for a few years ive always been interested in trying FPV and this looks like it might be the time
Good review as usual 👍
Seems like good starter to get into FPV
tht look awsome and like so much fun. i was about to buy the first avata and i go t notified that they were making a second. i am so happy you made this video. it hs really nice features. thankyou for making this video cant wait for more in depth vids

Hey Russ, hope all is well. I hope all is well with the family. Your wife has been in our prayers. Have a great weekend, sir.
Damn I was hoping it would be louder than the original Avata
😂
😮
Haha, noise and lousy battery life stopped me from buying the first iteration.
Quote of 23 min would be fine IF you can get it, but you won't specially if you go above normal speed (17.9 mph).

You need a jet my man 🤣
Fantastic video as always! Ordered mine, will have tomorrow and can't wait to test out.
Well explained! Thanks for sharing your view on Avata 2.

Great video as usual, this will be my 4th DJI drone but my first FPV. Thanks for convincing me to buy one 👍

It looks like a very nice fpv drone for beginners, nice video by the way
Awesome video I’ve been waiting for this one to come out, thanks put me in for the drawing 😊.
You’re right about kicking yourself if you don’t get the flymore combo. I did that with the spark and immediately regretted it.
I can’t wait until I can purchase this setup man that looks so fun
Great points on the Avata 2 Russ
I think it’s time for me to grab one of these! Great review!
Great video, Just ordered the FMC!! Love my Avata but Avata 2 has everything that I wanted!
Absolutley love this dude, would not buy one if it wasnt for this honest review, If I got lucky for the link, will make sure to snag mine from the affiliate link - much love for the transparent review
Great video. I can't wait for the review of these goggles with the Air 3.
You really gave some great information on the Avata 2. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Russ!!! Oh and a big thank you for giving the price up front 👍 not a bad price
DJI Avata 2 seems to be a perfect drone for starting FPV ! I'm very impressed. Thanks a lot 51 Drones ! Phoumma
Thanks Russ, really enjoy your content.
Thank you for the information, it was helpful as I am looking to purchase my first drone.

Once again a very informational video. I really use your reviews and a few others to make high dollar item purchases. Thank you
Great video, once I get more experience flying my Mini SE2, this might be the next drone I purchase
Great review thanks! YES , I will need the care refresh! Thanks for entering me!
I love DJI refresh plans, I have them on all my DJI devices! Luckily I haven’t had to use it yet! Give me a try!😂

Looks amazing. Considering it to be my first FPV drone
Very nice review Russ 👌 I think I'm going to get one
Awesome! Can’t wait to fly it.
