Agree on the bummed about the controller. My friend just lent me his FPV Controller to practice until mine comes in next month. I literally tossed my motion controller in the closet and it’ll probably stay there forever hahahaha
As someone that has been flying and building FPV drones for bit now I liked the avata for what it is, a cinewhoop. The range and reliability was always good from DJI. Unfortunately I can’t say the same about the first version the FPV drone with the bad camera built in. Pete yes the new avata definitely is better build but still not fully user replaceable, it doesn’t Matt how hard or build or your drone FPV always comes with crashes and we should be able to repair or replace the parts by ourselves and that’s not quite possible being this my negative point about the avata
Been obsessed with fpv for years but the avata is my first step into the space. Been in the simulator for a couple days now and it’s so encouraging to see I’m not the only one going “woahhhh woap yep other way…” 🤣🤣🤣
I got the Avata and did some test flying in the city (not open space), flying it in tight places and I have to say the DJI Avata was unable to stand wind conditions from 10-15mph to make it through spaces where I needed it. However, it was great to fly it indoors. DJI FPV is still my go to drone to fly it in the city!
instead of only using your thumbs to control the fpv, try pinching: using your index finger and thumb, for me it meant a big improvement in flying the dji fpv drone!
Learning and getting entertained at the same time! Thank you for sharing your experience. Thrilled for my own DJI Avata maiden flight! Let’s do this!!!
My Avata explorer combo, 3 extra batteries, hard shell case just came in 10 minutes ago. I’ve been watching zillions of videos on FPV, and yours here has motivated me to buy the remote controller for super manual flight. I also will obtain liftoff and practice as you did. This video has got me more excited to go into manual without the motion controller more than any others! Thanks for the push I needed!
Hello Mate cool video and I am on the same situation as you were. Can you please answer my question…How did you ended up having liftoff or any other Sim. from windows/ Microsoft installed in your Mackbook pro!?? I have only training DJI simulator, but I would love to download that Sim to my mackbook pro, so I could try a better and different simulators thanks.
Is noone gonna mention the epic thumbnail for this video? That right side shot looks like it could be a movie poster image for a Bollywood movie called «The Aviator» about a cyborg drone operator fighting evil covert spies within a governemt secret lab.
Bro great video as always, i am doing the same hours and hours in the simulator with the Avata i feel inspired to be a good FPV pilot. Best regards drom Mexico.
Did you pick up the whole Avata bundle or did you just order the fpv controller? Im considering just buying the fpv controller now, practicing on the simulator then ordering the Avata later.
I'm so proud of you! Welcome to the FPV family, Peter! 35 hours in simulator is the minimum before real manual flight. Wanna try with real drone now? :) I mean not DJI, but real FPV drone like Cinelog25/35 or Nazgul Evoque or Diatone Roma F5 v2 or smth like that.
@@PeterLindgren1 its too late you've already had a taste, the addiction just hasn't kicked in yet. With a larger controller and at least one of the two Cinelogs25/35 as was mention I feel almost certain you'd fly them better than even the Avata. I do love my Avata for what it is though.
WOOW Man - that was really good to watch!!! :) Love how you show us your progress and really looking forward to see the continuing. I have 55 hours in the simulator, and today - half an hour ago I had the chance to try FPV for the first time - it really was almost the same - just much most scary since it was for real and a friends drone :) But I loved it!!!! Thanks for the inspiration - as always!!
the Avata is definitly not a bad drone, DJI knows how to do this thing.... Thanks for being honest about the time you invested, that you had to take it seriously and everything. Lots of influencers like you just skip this part and make people believe they'll fly great with no effort. That last flight was nice... You can do some good basic proximity flying now, but at that speed, one crash and your shiny Avata is going back to "who knows where" to get "fixed" . That kind of flight with a 5 inch freestyle fpv drone : you can crash all day at that speed. And that's where the progression curve starts to change : DJI RTF pilots will reach the plateau where everytime they want to push, they'll break, while "hobby fpv" pilots will be able to push every time they go fly for fun.
That was awesome. I started trying to learn on a BetaFPV Cetus Pro and wasn't really a fan. Plus, the goggles stopped working. I need to do some simulator training, and I want to get back to learning.
I would love to see you build your own drone, it's a lot simpler than you think, and now that you have dji goggles, you would just need to pick a frame, motors, a flight controller/esc stack and a vista unit. (Still waiting to hear if the v2 goggles will be backwards compatible)
To be honest, as a sponsored pilot who has built many over the years... It's not for everyone. And though I don't know if I can turn back permanently, I will likely pick this up too, as my life is much busier than when I first started in FPV.
And learn to solder. And learn how lipos work. And learn how chargers work. And learn how beta flight works. And how to program a controller. And an Fc. And how to tune. And what props to use. And how to sync goggles......
After completing every course in liftoff on the hardest setting I then went on to real drones. A great way to learn. Wish I’d had the avata 2 years ago
@@PeterLindgren1 sweet! I’m only half way through the video. Keep at it! The best advice I got was when flying through gates don’t look at them, look at the path and the next gate, like a slalom skier! You got this.
I don't know about flying manual. I got my Avata a couple of months ago and have been using the motion controller. First time flying I was flying around and through trees and obstacles. I really like it and the video is next to none. I just ordered two more batteries so I can fly longer. All my other drones are up for sale.
@@PeterLindgren1 I can see that its different, but the footage looks sooo cool! Crashing a drone into the water isnt the smartest thing ever, but shit happends🙈👍
Looks pretty good. The Avata is a little loose feeling to me and I fly FPV allot, so you're doing well. I wish you could add a little more tension to the flight sticks (throttle side), but we got what we have. I think you will be even more pleased with your video if you use Gyroflow and some lens filters. Gyroflow is a free download, you will have to change a couple of setting in the goggles (not hard) the app will let you know which ones. It works really fast. It will smooth out your footage for a more cinematic feel. Look forward to seeing your progression.
@@elvismaldonado2631 maybe it’s a matter of preference but I personally prefer Gyroflow over RockSteady. I think Gyroflow for more cinematic feel and maybe Rocksteady for more of a stabilized freestyle feel.
Just starting this video. As an FPV enthusiast, can't wait to see how this goes. I can tell you I'm bummed it doesn't come with a regular controller.
Agree on the bummed about the controller. My friend just lent me his FPV Controller to practice until mine comes in next month. I literally tossed my motion controller in the closet and it’ll probably stay there forever hahahaha
Still waiting the controller is in Germany available again. The motion controller sucks after a few time.
@@anthonyarango8838 Agreed. I cant figure out how to launch it with the FPV Controller. Whats the take off procedure?
thank you for taking us along - very inspirational... You put in the time & it paid off last flight was epic...
The Haapoja brothers must be proud of You. You did good and You are lucky DJI loves You.

I love when you unfold the chair, that one got me 😂
Hahaha its sooo good to have a chair like that in the trunk 😂

Hi Jordan. I'm having a hard time getting connected to simulator or this game using the avatar remote. Is there a trick? Any advise appreciated!!
This was great, Peter!
That last run! Epic!!
So much practice to be done still!
Imponerande! Well done! 👍
Thanks buddy!
You are starting to get the hang of it 🎉🤩 looks good 👍
Thanks buddy! Practice practice practice 😬
Awesome flying Peter, looked amazing! 🤩 Really entertaining video to watch as well, makes wanna try an FPV drone so bad! 😄

I did towards the end 😊
Now that's som fast learning skills!😅 Good job man👏🏼
I just got that insane feeling of watching Iron Man when you took it for the first Manual flight! 🫣😎👍
Hahahaha I love this! Thank you!
Bro you just motivated a drone freak outta me.. that was sick 🫡
The drone sequences from now on in the videos 😮💨 👌🏻

This makes me so hyped to pick one up. Great video!
So much fun!
Wow, what a great studio! Haven't watched you for a long time and only know your old one. Amazing interior and style. Cheers buddy
It’s definitely developed since the last place!
Grymt inspirerande..! Nu fick jag lust att damma av min drönare igen.👍😊
Wow you are such a good pilot now! Good job Peter! Now show us some good Sony FX30 goodness!

That looks so cool I don’t think I could be able to do that because I would always be worried that someone would come up behind me
Bro, your face at 5:17 had me dying. 🤣. I know the feeling.
Great content as always. thanks!
Thumbnailen 12/10 😆 man blir bra fundersam över hur annorlunda det måste vara o flyga FPV än "vanligt"! Riktigt bra rulle, keep it up ännaaa
i need friends like peter, or peter could just be my friend that be cool to
Thank you for checking out Liftoff and congratulations on the fantastic flight results! :)
Thanks for a great simulator 🙌🏼
Beautiful Video!

Is this the best thumbnail on your channel? Hands down. I lold
Haha I had a lot of fun with this! Took me like 4 hours to make lol
Cool! Nice way to show a property! Cheers. 😀
that is actually a very nice progress!
Great Job Sir 🤟
I been waiting for this video since the release of Avata. I can’t wait to hear your personal opinion about the product.
That was awesome. I started trying to learn on a BetaFPV Cetus Pro and wasn't really a fan. Plus, the goggles stopped working. I need to do some simulator training, and I want to get back to learning.
That indoor montage might not be cinematic but I love it. It’s really a durable drone. Awesome to see you getting the hang of flying DJI Avata.
Hahaha it’s horrible 😂. It’s such a fun drone!
Very cool. Welcome to FPV. I wonder what angles you'll be able to pull from having full control of the craft.
Oh it’s gonna be FUUUUN
No one gets as much use out of a single song or t-shirt as Peter 🖤
iceland! one fine day. nice shots m8!
You learn a lot on a month! good job! Did you have to change something on the dji? like propellers or something?
Thanks! Nope, it’s all stock!
@@PeterLindgren1 Damn! thats great! maybe I should get into fpv then! 😅
You killed it, man! Practice makes perfect!
Niiicceee !!!!!!!!!
You don't know how much this inspires me
I would love to see you build your own drone, it's a lot simpler than you think, and now that you have dji goggles, you would just need to pick a frame, motors, a flight controller/esc stack and a vista unit. (Still waiting to hear if the v2 goggles will be backwards compatible)
Not really. Those goggles are locked from other custom drones at this time. DJI 👎🏻👎🏻😔
Sounds dope, don’t wanna do it though. It’s too much work for so little reward. I’m more of a fan when things just work!
To be honest, as a sponsored pilot who has built many over the years... It's not for everyone. And though I don't know if I can turn back permanently, I will likely pick this up too, as my life is much busier than when I first started in FPV.

wow! your whole uper level is like one giant man cave!
Imagine how well and wow will be the next Avata or fpv
Nice start. You will get there.
i think we can use gopro bone 10 + reelsteady go + DJI . supper smooth!
epic video...
Great video.
Thanks!
Just started my venture into FPV with DJI and this was a great video and encouraging to just keep going :D
After completing every course in liftoff on the hardest setting I then went on to real drones. A great way to learn. Wish I’d had the avata 2 years ago
Hard as fuck haha. I could never do that
@@PeterLindgren1 Im sure you could 💪ha ha
great video!
but why you didn't put the shot of the crash ???
please show it
Nice video! Really Inspiring! I am entering FVP world now!!🥰
Sorry DJI, I love my Mavic 2Pro/Crystalsky, but hell I want that autofocus tee shirt as a cotton polo shirt!
Peter said he was gonna fly the drone inside and I immediately started worrying about his computer monitor
Only the OG subs know this feeling 😂
😵🤢🤬😭🤦🏻♂️
Great job, man!!!
Hell yeah! Lär mig just nu faktiskt! Köpte en FPV cinewhoop för ngn vecka sen 😁
Snyggt! Så jävla roligt med FPV!
dang, your shop is dope!!!
Your simulator experience looks just like mine!
Loved this video man
Did you at least replace the propeller before flying outside? 😅
Super useful video Peter I really want to get into fpv but it’s either expensive or hard
Nice!
This was so entertaining to watch.
Thanks buddy!
Awesome progress
Excellent Peter. Very interesting house.
Great footage Legend. Fpv is so addictive.
LOL, was that also the field the Matti went to fly the Avata with Tyler? Haha
Hahaha no, half way around the world lol!
@@PeterLindgren1 Oh I see, it's just the lane of trees are quite similar, tricked me
Very impressed!!
Avata 2 now is out, and this is time for me to learn :D
Brilliant video!! Very entertaining 😁😁.
Tips: se på PiD tuning i avata og spillet. Sett til samme som du har i avata eller spillet
great rippin ya manual mode takes lotta practice LIFTOFF sim work for me am still not great but can fly manual nice footage
Fantastic video! Great flying at the end!! 👍🏻
Was loosing confidence in my progress on liftoff sim. This has encouraged me a bit
Did you unscrew the tension spring on the left (throttle stick) that will help with throttle control. Great work!!
Yup!
