Hey Dustin, I just checked out your initial Avata 2 video- did you ever figure out the recording issues and did you ever hear from DJI ? Excellent job as usual, thx!

@DustinDunnill

You need to have easy acro on before recording. Even with an update, recording live view (view through goggle front cameras is hit and miss when you switch. Updates will solve the issues according to DJI but not sure when 🍻

For a safe way of finding your avata 2 if you don’t make it home, just hook up your phone with the dji fly app, to your goggles. It will give you the gps position of where your drone has landed to a very close proximity.

Just got my first drone at 61 years old and it’s a blast!

@@JoshuaHarrell-bk8dz 51 here and out of fear, i had my avata in the box for 15 mths! Just got it out yesterday and its fun! Almost lost it though, as it ran out of batteries. So definately a learning process! This test shows how the avata 2 only has 25% more battery power, from my equations. It says it could last 13km if using the low camera 1080 resolution. As you said you used 4k. So it only did 7km imo, but has the potential to do 13km which is crazy

Dustin is the best ever at testing the capabilities of DJI drones

Dustin, never a dull moment with your range tests, you have.taught the lesson of drone retrieval abundantly clear

love your range test videos you make the most real and honest range test videos on drones you the one i only trust!!!!!

Well done, Dustin. Your long range tests are the best on the internet.

Plowed mine perfectly into a tree right on the camera… Cracked the one camera mount off… They’re like the size of a paper clip. Sent it in to DJI, and had a whole new drone stat! As soon as mine was in the mail, they had mine shipped… Great customer care!

Nice range test playa, great way to push it to the limit as always! Really enjoy your vids they're entertaining and informative, keep them coming!

Great range test Dustin! I'm glad you were able to find it the first time, and the sport mode test was great!

Finally!!! Long awaited video of the year😊😊😊👍👍💪

Just got the Avata 2 and its amazing!! Nice video thank you!!

Love your range test 😊 Thank you!!!!!!Very helpful!

This is a fascinating video. I for one appreciate you making it. I just purchased an Avata 2 fly more kit yesterday. Arriving in 1-2 weeks. I'm devoring all KZread content I can find and your video is a standout. Thanks again. It's a sub from me.

Excellent test... From a guy who's presentations are second to none... Brilliant... Thank you

Thanks for all you do, now I just have to get one!

What an amazing flight test. Besides that wind, it did very well in Normal & Sport mode. I also entered the contest for the Avata 2 package. Excellent flight tests Dustin & looking forward to the next video!! 😊

Fun video! Great demo flights Dustin !! 😎

Just got mine 2 days ago and my controller 3 comes in on the 30th! It’s amazing 😎

Great video and tutorial Dustin. 😊

That tracker sounds like a great option! Thank you Dustin!

Nice video and we get some real world testing knowledge from you. Thank you for sharing!

This is it Dustin the range test im waiting for with Normal and Sport mode. Really love it.

Love your content bro, you give me anxiety with these tests but its a rush!

I love these range test. Great. 😊

good tips - kudos for you testing this stuff with your own drones to share with others - cheers

Wow, this was an intense range test! It was a close call at the end, but you managed to fly the Avata 2 way further than I expected. Those pebblebee trackers are a great idea for long range flights. I learned a lot from your mistakes, especially about using sports mode for the return flight. Thanks for sharing bro

been waiting for this

awesome video bro, I can't wait to buy this one... saving money for it.

I've been flying stuff for about a decade, never usually a fan of FPV. Always preferred line of sight. However, I recently started putting together a couple of planes with Ardupilot. I like being able to set a waypoint mission, then just observe it via the video. It was actually thanks to my DJI Mini SE that tickled the interest in FPV more.

The best at long range testing!

Big love from the UK another great vid

Awesome Flight 🫡

Love ur videos dude

Great video Dustin! Curious..what state are you in? It looks so dry...

Great video. Thank you! After watching lots of videos, yours made me finally decide on the Avata 2. Also, great idea on the tracker. I'll for sure get one. Just one suggestion. When you are on low battery, try to decrease playing with the camera angle. All that camera operation and stabilization takes energy and decreases the aerodynamic profile of the drone.

Dude, a MILE! I love mine so far, just got it yesterday. First drone and I can't express enough how easy it is to control for a first timer. I don't know what to compare it to but I am extremely impressed with all of the options and tech with this drone. Its great. Yesterday, I went out back about a quarter mile. Easy, no issue. Tonight I did the same, saw some deer feeding and it lost signal suddenly. Not sure why, could have been a random connection thing. But other than that, its been beyond great.

Definitely the most exciting drone video that I’ve seen yet. I bought my Avata 2 with goggles and controller etc…about two weeks ago. Just before that I bought the Mini 4 Pro with the RC2. I’ve flown the Mini and LOVED it. Lately I’ve been learning about the Avata 2 and the goggles, watching videos and lining up my settings. By the way, watch out for updates. They can change settings back to defaults. In a recent video as of 5/8/24, one flyer described how an update resetted the default recording setting to Goggles only (why would a developer do this?). So after you experience an update, make sure the camera recording setting is set to “both” so that the goggles are recording AND the drone is also recording. You want that 4k footage! Happy droning, and thanks for this video. Seeing your drone losing power while forty feet up next to the top of the pine tree was nerve wracking to watch, let alone experience it as the owner of the drone. Last note: I will definitely be buying that little tracker that you suggested…make that two of them!

That was awesome 👍❤️

Man, I got SO nervous on the return seeing that battery level drop every few seconds lol. Thanks for a great video!

Another great video Dustin. The one thing DJI needs to fix is the constant beeping when RTH is active. I'm flying the dang thing I know its RTH I don't need the beeping. 🤣

Great range test! Thank you! Any idea what the max wind speed was during your flights that day?

@DustinDunnill

Ай бұрын

Seemed to gust up to 15mph at maximum. Quite variable though 🍻

I can't wait to get one! I am waiting for the raffle first! God Bless!

Hi Cris, thank you so much for this test, while I'm waiting for my Avata 2! I have the following question: Could you please tell us the settings you would recommend for this type of indoor flight, especially for beginners? Many thanks! Kind regards Cristián ... also "with no h" ;-)

The rocking motion you see during the RTH is not due to winds... It's the inherent funny nature of the algorithms in the drone. DJI is working on it to get a fix.

have you seen the aftermarket aluminum bumpers you can bolt onto the front? I snagged a pair online, hoping they will protect damage to the camera if something bad happens

Your house is amazing. What do you do for a living. Im really thinking of picking one of these up. I used to race fpv and freestyle back a few years ago but I don't have the time anymore. This seems like a perfect low maintenance alternative.

impressive

Great range tests. I was surprised how well the battery held up in the Sport Mode run. I agree max efficiency for the Avata 2 is around 26 mph. DJI seems to have already established the most efficient speed for each model & sets it as the RTH speed. When you did the recovery on the Normal Mode test I was hoping you would spot the missing Mini 4 Pro. :)

Thanks for the video . I’m 60 and my first drone was the Avata in November. I just crashed and broke it. Just shipped it back under warranty. Hopefully I get it back. Do you think the Avata 2 is a lot better than the Avata?

You know, when you started the landing 2 miles out, it out got your heart going! 😂

Thanks for range test and link to the self powered beeper. Home flight area is hilly and heavily forested. Real variable signal strength due to the obstructions. Still impressed with the Avata 2 ability to penetrate through the obstructions relative to my older analog hardware. So far, the MC3 has made flying relaxing. Only one crash and one broken propeller after 20 flights. Fraction of the "usual" number of crashes and broken propellers. Have a bunch of M76 2mm T mount propellers that look identical to the stock DJI Avata 2 propellers. Only issue are the spacing of the 2mm mounting holes. Fraction of a mm wider than std MT76 propellers. DJI props and the first bunch of non-OME that hit the market are a bit on the relatively pricey side. The plus is not breaking, chipping, dinging propellers as frequent.

Ayayayayay Dustin ... Tus pruebas me ponen nervioso XD😮😮

question: if you are in the US, has the FAA contacted you about the beyond visual line of sight thing? Love the videos, but how have you not got a letter?

Hello my friend. Toujours aussi cool, et videos que j'attends avec une grande impatience et se que j'aime aussi c'est que j'ai aussi peur que toi, comme si j'y étais. Comme on a l'écran des lunettes donc les mesures, ça, sa fait plus réaliste pour nous. 👍❤❤❤

I gotta try an FPV.... thank u sir.

Love it

Man! Just don’t know if I could EVER do that! I stress enough when it’s out of line of sight! Whoa! Just seeing the visuals these drones give us when flying, you near literally ARE THERE when you lose your buddy! Glad you found it. Wheewww..close compared to what I saw in your Mini 4 loss!

That Owl with solar is amazing. Where can i get one of these?

I'm impressed with the 04 signal strength and the features especially the feature where it flew itself out of the tree. Not going to ever fly that far, but the signal would be strong enough to go around objects. I glad I didn't buy the Avata1. Good video!

Great test! I remember when you lost the Mini 4, maybe you could use the Avata 2 to look for it. Its a lot more nimble than the Mavic 3 and with head tracking might give you better search capabilities. Its been out there for a while so who knows, might be in bad shape at this point. Anyway, good idea on the tracker, considering getting one of these.

Seeing how far they go is wat i like lol👍....

I love the range test videos you make , especially the ones that you flying towards the sea . The landscape is magnificent!

its crazy how you got further in sport mode while having the rth to takeover and still left with 16 % battery to do 4 power loops in the yard xD Not bad at all. 4km range is good.

Better cancel rth, and bring back home with sport mode? Btw nice videos , thats awesome beeper you have😁🙏👏

Everything I need to know about avatar2 is here, thank you. Can you give me more information about the removable GPS mounted on avatar2?

It's a Bluetooth tracker. Linked in description. Seems to work perfectly within about 100ft 🍻

While flying my remote apparently lost signal causing the drone to fail and clip a tree. Thankfully I was able to retrieve it. Afterward I noticed that one of the antennas on the goggles was not up. Could that have caused the remote to lose signal do you think? Thanks in advance for your help.

Nice!

I am so happy for you that you installed the beeper drone finder thingy. That is some growth!

Very interesting that you were able to reach about the same flight distance both in Sport and Normal mode. You could of tried out the Real View PIP feature to look for the RTH button. Always enjoy your range tests. Those BT trackers look like a great idea. Thank you !
