DJI Avata Pro-View Combo (DJI Goggles 2) - First-Person View Drone UAV Quadcopter with 4K Stabilized Video, Super-Wide 155° FOV, Built-in Propeller Guard, HD Low-Latency Transmission

The Avata should appeal to pilots of all experience levels who want to capture high-quality, dynamic, cinematic drone footage. It's fun to fly, captures great video, and is a stepping stone for anyone who wants to dabble in the world of FPV. Forget about the people complaining about DJI's decision not to sell a package with the FPV controller. I believe this was done in order to prevent inexperienced but overconfident pilots from crashing their drones and causing a bunch of supply chain headaches by demanding replacements through the Care Refresh program. I'm sure DJI will offer a package with the FPV controller in the not-too-distant future, if you don't want to have to purchase the controller separately. First, the Avata is a BLAST to fly (even with the motion controller). It's designed for flying in close proximity with other objects. Indoors, through trees, under and through obstacles - this thing really performs. It's been a while since I've had this much fun with a drone. I'm also blown away by the quality of the footage that comes out of it. The colors are great, right out of the box, and the stabilization is fantastic. The Motion Controller is NO GIMICK. It's a really amazing piece of technology that allows inexperienced pilots to get their feet wet with FPV without months of practice and expensive drone repairs. It's intuitive, responsive, and accurate (check out the attached video to see what you can do with the motion controller). It does have limitations - for example, you can't fly backwards with the motion controller, nor can you do a proper orbit without engaging the head tracking feature in the goggles - but the pros outweigh the cons. Once you're ready to up your game, you'll be able to buy the FPV controller and continue your drone journey. The goggles are simply amazing. The image quality is spectacular, and the transmission distance is just as impressive. Transmission distance decreases sharply when there are a lot of trees or other objects between the drone and the controller, but it's still very impressive. I will add that the goggles can be a bit uncomfortable when worn for an extended period of time, but taking a little break between batteries should help with that issue. Battery life is also very impressive. From what I understand, the typical cinewhoop battery will provide 3 to 7 minutes of flight. I've been able to get 14 minutes with the Avata with brand new batteries, and expect that they'll provide a little more after they've gone through a few charge/discharge cycles. All in all, the Avata is a fantastic product that I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone in the market for a new drone.

I'll start this off by saying I have owned the DJI Phantom 2, Phantom 3 Pro, Spark, Mini 2, and now the Avata. I realize some of those serve a different purpose but so far the Avata paired with the Motion Controller has by far been the easiest to use and gotten me the best footage. I think the negative reviews regarding the choice to bundle the motion controller vs the FPV Remote Controller 2 fail to realize this is designed to be in a different class from the DJI FPV. These reviews seem to mirror comments made by 'pro' YouTube reviewers that want to immediately fly this like a racing drone and not a fun, easy to use cinematic drone as it's obvious this was intended. For a more casual user, like myself, the fact that the Avata is slower, weighs less, and is easier to control in tight situations with the motion controller are what made me pull the trigger while I was hesitant about the DJI FPV. I think the majority of people that want the FPV experience tailored to ease of use and cinematics with the option to later learn how to control manually are exactly why I give this bundle 5 stars. The other worry I had before ordering the Avata was based off reviews that said there were issues with blurriness and field of view with the Googles 2. Being an avid Oculus user I can immediately say these negative reviews are just plain wrong. The clarity and resolution of the Googles 2 is astounding and I can't wait for VR headsets to start coming out that look as nice. In my initial setup of the Googles 2 I had really bad blurriness on the lower-left side of the screen but I realized it was because I was improperly setting the focus knob for my left eye. Once I took a little more time and really dialed that in, it's been perfectly focused and a dream to wear/use. I'll end this by saying this is the most confident I've felt flying a DJI drone. In each of my flights so far I've set up, done my checklists, and immediately just flown without the typical slight drone anxiety I have had with past drones. The amazing first-person clarity, complete intuitiveness of the motion controller right out of the box, and small size of the Avata have made this a dream to fly. For responsible fliers with the means to buy this drone I can't recommend it highly enough!

This is a great drone from one end to the other. You can start with the virtual simulator provided with the software and then move onto actually flying the drone with confidence of your hand controller. As a civilian pilot, I find the hand controller similar to an airplane stick. I am sure that RC operators will prefer the standard control box. I have found battery life to be approximately 12 minutes, which gives you plenty of time to scare yourself. Switching from normal to sports mode provided me some of the most dramatic footage I was able to take. by way of video, the output from the drone is spectacular. Extremely clean and clear images easily imported into Gyro flow free software, to smooth out the jitters in your hand. And then combined the stabilizer views into adobe premiere for final video output. By the strong you will have loads of fun and find it to be very reliable.

The is perfect if you’ve never flown a drone. It’s pretty much dummy proof. You can upgrade controls as you learn it and get more comfortable with it. My only complaint is the battery. It takes FOREVER to charge with the provided cords and a typical phone charger plug. They do not provide a better plug. And at this price, that’s pretty sad. So expect about 4 to 5 hours to charge. And then you’ll get at max, 10 minutes of flight time. You’ll get about an hour on the goggles and about 2 hours out of the controller. So get extra batteries. And get a better charging port. Then you’ll be happy.

I've used it for 3 years and it's never given me any problems, excellent materials, and very good presentation.

Great drone, reasonably easy to set up and operate ….you need to connect it to your phone for the GPS feature to work, and you’ll need to buy and install memory cards to store more than 20 minutes of video, and it most definitely does NOT have a 5 mile range….I would say, on an open landscape you can maybe get a mile at a push…… My experience was somewhat ruined by Amazon. They shipped me a used one, in an open box, that had clearly been removed from its packaging and even had a coffee stain on the box….I had to send it back and get a replacement, but they made me wait for a whole month before they gave me a refund….

I was really looking forward to this. I bought this with over $400 worth of batteries and accessories. It would not pair with the headset right out of the box. I did the firmware updates and it paired BUT gave me an RFID error which keeps the drone from operating. You are supposed to hook up your cell phone to the headset so it can get position info and generate a radio frequency id so the FAA can track you. LOOK ON THE INTERNET for all the problems associated with this. The phone charges off the headset battery so the headset dies very quickly. Your phone needs an app to use the drone but your display needs to be on all the time or the drone won't communicate with the phone. This kills the cell battery so the phone stills power from the headset. I tried multiple phones, still couldn't get the RFID error to clear. The DJI website is totally useless for getting help. I live in the Utah mountains and don't get cell service so the drone is useless. If you live in an area with no cell service your drone is just an EXPENSIVE paper weight. You CAN'T get away from the RFID requirement as the FAA is mandating ALL drones need to be equipped with RFID info as of Sept 2023. The return is also problematic as it takes about 30 days to get your refund. That is over $1500 tied up in the mail instead of being in your pocket. Read about the cell phone and RFID problems before you buy or you may be very disappointed.

I’m a long time licensed drone pilot. My biggest concern when I ordered the AVATA was that I would get motion sickness. I’m happy to report that it hasn’t been an issue and this little drone is a blast to fly! The hand held remote is very intuitive and extremely easy to fly. Perfect for beginners, especially for FPV. The battery is short lived. This drone is meant to be flown fast without stopping which depleted battery in about 10 minutes. I’ve ordered more batteries to solve that. Highly recommend this drone for beginners or veterans like myself.
