DJIAvata 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 media could not be loaded. 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!

A bit expensive, yes. One says, these toys are the best for keeping off drogues: there is just no money left ... I love to use it to photograph. It gives me a kick to fly. It is different than in a video game where less is at stake. If you are not too wealthy, you really do not want to crash this thing or lose it. So, there is a bit of an adrenaline kick like with real flying. Despite the fact that it is quite easy to fly, one has to practice. One has to have an eye on battery life. If the juice is out, it just lands and if you would be over water, this would be the end.

Pros:1.The protective blades is a great idea. They should do this more.2. Very durable design.3. Super easy and fun to fly4. Flying with goggles is a blast5. Motion controller is amazing to fly with6. Video resolution is nice and crips though it can get betterCons:1. All of the pros killed by the battery life which is around 10 min max then it returns to base. That is just not enough time to enjoy flying when you only have 10 min of juice, nope. 30 min should be standard.2. Very noisy. Just too noisy.3. Goggles sweat up/heat up a lot. The screen gets hot, the fans are blowing and the gasket is too sweaty, its a hot sweaty mess. Needs improvement here big time but nothing compared to the sad battery life it has.
