In EU, the Avata 2 is C1 class marked, so no problems (if anybody has problems to do A1/A3 test, ne may be better stick to fishing or other hobby). Biggest issue worh any FPV is to keep VLOS, so, in order to fly in OPEN Cat, an Observer shoul be nearby, and no differences if it would be sub-250g.
That's correct, however throughout the EU these EASA regulations and rules isn't easily enforceable, unless u're operating in close proximity to airports, NFZ TFR zones, security sensitive objects or military compounds. Noone is gonna approach you with fine graded scales, handheld RID scanners asking for proof of registration, paperwork and flight logs. Fly in peace and confidence and use good judgment at large. Voilà ❤️
Yeh that's true
Yeh that's always been my thought but in the back of my mind I'm more thinking if there was police nearby and they wanted to check in on what I was flying and they were not too sure about the regulations which most of them are not, then they would not worry too much about a sub 250 whoop that looks like a toy compared to a DJI professional looking drone like the avata or avata 2
I got the A2, and I'm enjoying it. Sub 250g would be a really nice feature, but RID isn't that big of a deal in the US. I think you glossed over the biggest advantage of the A2, which is battery life. Having 20 minutes to explore shots and do multiple takes and angles is amazing. Having only a 6 minute flight time feels like you would need to land as soon as you just got going. 20 minutes in the air feels like freedom to explore what you want and become fully immersed. The A2 may not be the most acrobatic, or the lightest, or even the best cinewoop, but it definitely checks a lot of boxes. I'm happy with my choice, but I am looking forward to the standalone O4 unit! :)
Yeh I am liking the look of the avata 2 but I was just personally hoping for a Mavic mini mixed with avata 1 so basically a sub 250 avata with good battery life and image quality but maybe that's something for the future who knows
Excellent review, Pav. I'm subbing. Greetings from Montreal, Canada.
Amazing thanks so much! More content on the way!!
(Disclaimer: Speaking only for EUrope, so excluding huge chunks of the world.)
TBH not that much paperwork required in the EU especially if you have a C0/C1 drone. You need an insurance which covers drone damage, you need an e-id for your drone (no matter if =250g since lets be honest all have cameras on them) and you need a pilots license (for >=250g) which requires a rather short online test (which cost some few Euros, if I remember correctly 20 or 25) where you proof you understand the regulations. That's it, you are good to go.
What hurts is the speed/power limitation (19m/s max) but they effect all C0/C1 drones, also certified
Yeh I was mainly talking about worldwide but yeh you're spot on about European regulations are not as intense yet. Thanks for the comment
Even if this one is made out of a lot of carbon fiber would you say that the original avata is more durable?
Yeh original avata is Def more durable but heavier than 250g because of it.
They screwed themselves out of a lot of sales by not making the prop guards removable ... I'm pretty sure that could have allowed for a sub-250 AND a 250-plus configuration.
Just print 2 weights on each battery type ... a lower weight under an image of an unguarded drone... and the higher weight under a guarded drone.
Would have done wonders for EU/UK sales, for sure.
Maybe they'll eventually bring out an EU-friendly Avata 3.
Yeh that would have been a cool feature as well, removable prop guards so we can have 1 multi purpose drone that can do everything. Definitely one for the future I think
I would do a A2 c of c if you haven't already and the permission you get a pretty good. Still gonna have to have an observer what ever the case. I also have a GVC, both were pretty easy to complete.
Yeh exactly I've benefited a lot from having the A2cofC
A2 cofc for 80£ and still useless because you need a qualified spotter. As for me and many others , I don’t see any member of my familly, or friends which are simply not interested in this hobby to come with me and get bored to death of watching me fly the damn thing. So I fly how , where and when I can my Avata 2, alone, with a lot of anxiety.Complete ignorance from CAA , disregarding our skills and the smart features of these modern drones. Such a shame, there is NOTHING pretty good in the “extra” permissions you got unless you have a friend with same hobby. Even with the extra permission I don’t fly over/near any person, not because I’m allowed or not, but because you never know when you meet a Karen to ruin your day, and there are plenty out there. VLOS legislation is killing it. My suggestion would be a proper drone pilot licence, even if it means the tests will be difficult to get. At least that will trully lift the VLOS restrictions.
I had one of these and returned it. I don't like that you have no option to get it with a traditional controller. The motion controller is ok, but why try and force everyone into using it or spending another $200 on a controller when you have already forked out $1000 - $1200 on the drone.
This is something that really annoys me too! That motion controller stick is so annoying and something that people tolerate I feel rather than really enjoy using. Just give 2 options one combo with motion controller and one with normal controller! So frustrating dji
Great video mate always a pleasure to check out what you are up to!💪 totally agree they should have made sub 250 fpc cinewhoop instead 🤷♂️
Thanks a lot bro! Yeh would have been great to see. Excited for you to get back flying as well man 😃😃
Im sure DJI will eventually release a Cine-Mini soon enough. Especially if the avata series sells well.
i think they will try to join the fpv hobby market..
Yeh that could be a decent little drone
Hmmm could be interesting
Huge problem with FPV drone because of the VLOS laws and needing a qualified spotter. What about people who have nobody? Also on normal cinematic drones, flying in vlos makes the telemetry irrelevant. Using your screen to fly its illegal , you look at the screen to check the battery , wind etc , you look back at the drone, drone its gone😂 specially a Dji Mini. It just shows how much CAA and FAA couldn’t care less about our hobby, even considering the technology put inside the modern drones, they completely ignore it!
Yeh fpv really needs to be put into its own category with different rules because it's completely different flying to Mavic drones. Even having a spotter for fpv is pointless because we often fly in places where it's just not possible to see the drone. Definitely needs an update for fpv
Costing as much as a motorcycle in my country, i can onoy watch and dream with all of those
Damn that's crazy! Where are you from bro?
@@pavguliani Brazil. DJI Avata complete set costs around 14k. The minimum wage is about 1450/month. The average house rental is 700 to 1000 month
wtf dude I dont understand where this video is about djis mistake in avata 2???!! they can make avata mini if they want thats not mistake they chose to make avata successor and they did so i find this somehow clickbait
How's it clickbait though? I said DJ made a big mistake making the avata 2 rather than a mini avata as their next drone and that's what I wrote on the title "DJI's big mistake".
This video is a bait and switch for anybody looking to Talk about DJ I avata.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed! 😁
If our government has our way it will not matter if it is less than 250g or not, if it's DJI, it will be banned.
Yeh I know it's looking that way. DJI in general is getting a bad rap no matter what kind of drone it is
Doode, the production value and general content is way too high for a 7.5k sub account. I know sod all about fpv unless it’s on Pornhub but you’ve just made me want a new toy.
Hahahaha this is brilliant thanks so much bro! Made me lol. Get yourself some fpv toys mate!
As the owner of the original DJI FPV im no longer buying anything DJI, there is no compatibility with anything.
I know it's super annoying you always need to upgrade goggles at controller with the new drones but apparently can be a firmware update soon for backwards compatibility with goggles 2 and controller 2
So … DJI AVATA 2 is for amateurs beginners in FPV world. No more, no less 🤷🏻♂️
If you have a traditional controller and switch to manual mode it'll rip like any other drone
@@joshuaburgess4730 This can never compare to a 5 inch. Don't get me wrong it's really cool for it's intended purpose, can do light freestyle, and reasonable speed, great flight time.
I plan to get one, but I could take that same money and go in on a 5" freestyle kit you'll get something way faster and more agile. That's a fact. But personally I really want to know what I'm doing before I do a 5". The Avata 2 is excellent for working up to the next level
@@joshuaburgess4730 Yeah definitely looks like it
Yeh it's true the speed out of my current avata now with a high camera angle is good 👍
Yeh I love 5 inch drones but I always have a soft spot for cinewhoops as I feel they can't be used more in general
The drone community sounds alot like the cell phone community. Stop wining about every little niggling new shiny upgrade and enjoy what ya got🙄
Yeh it's true we do like to complain a lot 😂
