O4+ is absolutely insane!

Ok so if what the Avata 360 can do is demonstrating range- and penetration-wise what we can expect from an O4+ Air-Unit for Custom Drones in the future as well, then this might be the moment even Analog-Enthusiasts have to consider switching.

Literally the only thing keeping me from flying it in an 5-10km Radius around my position with several trees in the way and a clear image, is it's low top-speed and battery life. This thing eats forests and concrete for freaking breakfast.

In spaces where I'm down in single digits on my O4 Pro the Avata 360 doesn't even shrug. Yesterday I literally flew through a small valley surrounded by nothing but trees and a massive concrete bridge with a tiny metal tunnel and this thing went through like it was nothing and went on, like there wasn't the concrete equivalent of a 3-5 houses between us. Check it out yourself:

I'm still salty DJI just removed the freaking Manual Mode on the Avata360 cause damn would this baby soar with over 90 km/h and this signal-penetration, but still, if this is what the future looks like while still staying completely compatible with the current O4-Goggles like here, then it's a bright one.

It's so insane to me. I can fly my small little Neo2 in M-Mode no problem and not only did they not add M-Mode for the 360-Version which would've been easily possible, they now REMOVED the Single Lens M-Mode completly!

Whats the sense behind this design, if you can't even fly it in manual? Could've gone for foldable props then just as well. The Avata 360 is an absolute unit and me flying with almost 70 km/h and then stopping in an instant within a few meters shows me it could easily be used to Dive as long as you don't go completely bonkers with it and know how to handle it.

I'm so pissed right now. Of course this 360 footage is nice and i like all those stabilizers for certain tasks but only beeing able to have a stuttering slow decline from big heights everytime is absolutley BS and really ruins any nice footage you could do alongside tall towers, waterfalls and mountain-ranges. You can't even really follow a car that goes downhill. It should be an absolute no-brainer after the Neo2 had such an great success BECAUSE of it's versatility.

They could've made this the 360 Avata 2 easily. It has power for days and only thing needed would've been that DJI gets their Software-shit together. But what do they do instead? They remove a feature, that was already added and reviewed. Thinking very hard of sending mine back to be honest.

And before anyone answers "Yeah just build a 5 Inch bro", stop to think before you talk please. Cause you either have a way to automatically crop that whole freaking 5-Inch out of your footage, or your argument is about as nonsensical as DJIs whole Action here. Just a complete lack of vision for some reason.

Truly amazing, that you can really upload the full 8k footage to youtube and let people look around while you fly. Hope more people use this in the future especially for long range-flights I think they really open up a whole new way to watch someone lines.

It's a little wonky on the phone (your really have to hold it very still and more or less turn your entire body), but then it looks like you can move around a flying portal or something. On PC it's a little more "tame" and in VR it's the full immersion. Absolutely crazy feature.

Here is one I did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpiCtx63EUg

Maybe people can share their favorite ones they found so far :-)

Tiny Planets are a fun gimmick, obviously not gonna hold a whole video on their own, but if it comes to them, I would argue, there isn't another Device out there currently that can produce them on the Level as the Avata 360 does.

There are some caveats to this drone for sure (where is my Manual-Mode update for heavens sake?), but it has Power, it can stand in even strong winds like a Tower and it has amazing Image Quality, on par with the best Standalone 360-Cams out there.

You have to take the time to cut your footage and I'm definitely in the process of truly getting used to it but it feels like the possibilities are really endless.

Here some footage of me playing around with it:
