![]() ![]() The reception on them is just phenomenal. Here I may meet with some disagreement, but in my opinion, the new version of goggles provided a hands-down great view. Now I can see where there are some weak points in the design, and I am not saying it’s indestructible by any right.Īlthough I wanted to fly it straight into a wall at full speed, it was not mine to do so with, and if you saw some of the looks I was getting, you wouldn’t have either. Even though it’s constructed of plastic, it’s some tough plastic, I can say. It held up surprisingly well I must say, with it never getting to the point where it needed any actual repair, although I did have to order him some new props.Īs far as any breakage goes, nope, nothing. With almost every other FPV quad being made from carbon fiber frames, it is a valid question to ask.ĭid I crash my friend’s Avata? Well sure I did. There were a lot of questions about the durability of the DJI Avata. Someone who hasn’t taken that plunge down the side of a skyscraper yet and was still on the fence about doing so, and they got me with this one. No, they were targeting people just like me. ![]() We can be honest here, though and that’s not who DJI was aiming for. So, I can see where seasoned FPV pilots may not be all that interested in the Avata. Here we’re talking about the Avata, but if you were to go with an iFlight Bumble Bee retailing for $379.99 or say an iFlight Green Hornet that retails for $259.99, once you add up everything, DJI’s offering is right in the thick of it number wise.īy going with the DJI Avata though we do lose some of the versatility that true FPV quads have to offer, such as ease of repair and most importantly the ability to DIY it. For example, the Radiomaster TX16S is currently running around $289.99. A pair of Fat Shark Dominator HD goggles will run around $450.Ī decent quality controller runs on average anywhere from $100 to $400, once again dependent on which you go with. On average, a decent set of goggles will run you right around $400 to $600, depending on which brand you choose. It may not seem like it, but the pricing by DJI for these packages isn’t really off by too much if you are just getting into this style of drone flight. CostĪs we can see, this system will take a bit of an investment on the buyer’s part. There are some things to talk about for sure. ![]() In case you may be wondering, I went with the third option, as I already have the V2 goggles and simply ordered the FPV 2 controller with the Avata. It has the Avata drone, a single battery, and a power adapter and is retailing for $629. Then there is a third option, and that is for just the DJI Avata itself. Not to say it’s perfect, but pretty well thought out for sure. DJI seems to have thought most of it out pretty well. The DJI Avata is a recently-released cine-whoop drone. So will there be one-shots in my future? Well sure. I would never take a flight that I didn’t feel I could perform a hundred percent and conduct safely. You will need to practice, practice, practice in order to get good at it. Like the old joke goes, “How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice! Practice! Practice!” Gaining the skills necessary for such an endeavor takes time and dedication. The one-shot fly-throughs are a game changer. Now, as someone who does quite a bit of realty projects, I saw the huge potential in FPV in the types of projects I do. ![]() What are the best goggles, what is the difference between freestyle quads and Cine whoops? Which do I want to fly? What about the batteries these systems take, and how to charge them?Īs a GPS pilot, I’m a bit spoiled, I suppose, where a lot of these questions don’t even need to be asked. When it comes to FPV, there is a lot of ground to cover, and it can be quite confusing. ![]()
