r/DJIAvata2

Got the thing one week and I think the typical “I got this” overconfidence kicked in today.

1. ⁠Fly under a water bridge
2. ⁠Go stunt mode (because you know: “I’ve seen this on youtube”). Full crash.
3. ⁠Avoid trauma of crashing an expensive toy and get in the air again to catch a nice sunset shot.

Happy flying this weekend everyone ☀️! This FPV thing is addictive

After changing rates feel more confident now. Still need to practice for low altitude.

Aloha, I scored the Fly More Combo with 3 batteries and the goggles and joystick 3 for $700. I was honestly expecting to pay a little more when I was looking into buying a drone, so I have some money to spend on "accessories". I live in Hawaii so I'm going to get some ND / PL filters and probably 1 or 2 more batteries. Other than that is there really anything the Avata 2 could benefit from? Or even anything the Goggles 3 or Joystick 3 could benefit from?

Aloha and Mahalos 🤙🏽

Hi all,

This is one of my first flights with the Avata 2, Goggles 3, and RC Motion 3.

I was having a great time cruising along a path a few meters from where I was standing with steady 60 Mbps connection (Auto channels) and all of a sudden the drone fell out of the sky like a rock.

I lost connection completely after I saw "Motors stopped" and this is the footage I recovered from the Goggles.

Luckily I found the drone and it was only scratched up.

Has this happened to anyone else? Should I contact DJI?

I'm worried this might happen again when I'm higher up or somewhere I can't retrieve it easily.

The drone is less than a year old so maybe there is some warranty?

Would love some advice on the matter 🙏

Just showing my windy flight

Nowadays I'm either grabbing my analog Air65 whoop, or my 5 inch iFlight Nazgul Evoque. But every now and then I'll take my Avata 2 off in acro and go for a cruise.

Hello everyone, I recently crashed my drone and noticed that one of the gimbal legs is broken. Do you think it’s worth sending it in through DJI Care Refresh? And if not, do you think it’s a good idea to glue it, and if I do glue it, will DJI Care Refresh still cover it?

Got my first drone couple of days a go, I fly motion controller. The drone is fine, I’m really surprised how beginner friendly this drone is.

I’m currently inspecting a used DJI Avata 2 before buying it.

While reviewing the footage on the SD card, I discovered it had:

• a full pool submersion (completely underwater)

Neither of these were disclosed by the seller.

The drone still powers on and flies, but during test flights I noticed:

• slight wobbling even just around ~3 stories high outdoor
• occasional jerky movement in 4K 60fps footage
• slight instability even with RockSteady enabled
• tried to fix it with warp stabilizer on premiere pro but it needs above 20-25% of stabilization

As context: I’m a newb to FPV, so I’m trying to figure out whether this is:

1. normal Avata 2 / FPV movement
2. beginner misinterpretation
3. possible mechanical damage (motor/prop/frame/sensor issue) from water + impact

I forgot if I was on sport mode or normal both but I tried both of them and it's kinda similar.

The camera still works and the gimbal is still “stabilized” but we can’t pan tilt anymore. Please help

Hi.

Sorry to bother. I hope it is the right place.

I hit a tree and my drone fell hard.

Do I just buy the upper and lower part ? Thank you

My current lineup. I hope you like it!
