DJI Avata 2: Park flying freestyle
Took the Avata 2 to a large park to test the range. I am very amazed at the video transmission range of this thing. It gives you the freedom to sit back and focus on flying without video drop outs.

    hi bro how did you do the power loop so smoothly??

    • @RichardDosSantosDrones
      @RichardDosSantosDrones 7 днів тому

      There’s a couple things to keep in mind while doing loops with the Avata 2. The Avata 2 is a bit under powered, and it suffers from prop wash. So, when coming out of a loop, when you start to see the ground, this is when you want to start applying throttle and pulling back on your elevator stick at the same time. If you don’t, what ends up happening is that the Avata 2 will flatten out (become leveled with the horizon) while descending out of the loop, which will cause it to be affected by prop washing, causing it to violently wobble and shake. Think of the Avata 2 as a drone that you want to throttle, cut the throttle to throw the drone in the direction you want to go, then slowly throttle up to do a controlled fall.

      I would love to see video of it doing that so I can get a better understanding of what’s happening. Just keep in mind that the Avata suffers from prop wash when coming out of loops or split-s. When you say dead roll, do you mean prop wash?

    • @RichardDosSantosDrones
      @RichardDosSantosDrones 23 дні тому

      @@miseryofficial5643 the way to prevent that is to slowly give the Avata throttle as you’re coming out of a dive. If you allow the Avata to float out of the loop with no throttle and then punch the throttle at the bottom of the loop, there will be too much air being pushed into the ducts from the bottom. And since the Avata is already under powered, the Avata won’t be able to recover in time even with full throttle. It’s all dirty air, which causes the prop wash. You just have to remember keep the propellers spinning fast enough as it’s coming out of the loop to keep the air flowing from top to bottom. If you don’t, dirty air happens when too much air is flowing through the propellers from bottom to top.

      Hi, I’m using the built-in video stabilizer found in your drone camera settings, it’s call Rocksteady. I know everyone swears by the Gyroflow video stabilizer program, but it produces some weird warping of the videos. I find that Rocksteady works flawlessly. I do also practice a lot at making my stick movements as fluid as possible.

      @RichardDosSantosDrones Місяць тому

      Hey, thanks Brandon. I started out doing the same thing. I made a list of freestyle moves, practice them on my simulator, then spent several days practicing with my drone. The most important tip I can give anyone with an Avata 2, is that it’s a bit under powered, so you’ll need to feather the throttle when coming out of a dive or loop. This is the reality of a FPV/cinematic drone.

  • @Yobro04

    Looking great! trynna decide whether to get the fpv or the avata 2! Looks like the avata 2 is better for tighter stuff so I'm leaning more towards that but still want abit of long range freestyle etc.

    • @RichardDosSantosDrones
      @RichardDosSantosDrones Місяць тому

      I might be wrong, but I think the Avata 2 has a longer range and more flight time than the DJI FPV. Also the Avata 2 can crash and keep on going. I’ve crashed the Avata 2 more times than I can count. The whole frame of my Avata 2 is cracked and warped and it still flies amazingly.

      Hey Ghost! I’m using Rocksteady. I’ve tried Gyroflow on all my other videos, but it warps and crops the videos too much. I find that Rocksteady smoothens out everything without any noticeable warping or cropping of the video. I actually this video was only intended to test some video settings, but I suddenly got into the mood to push the Avata 2 to its limits to see if the ISO would keep up with the lighting changes. I had set the ISO to automatic in this video, that’s why the video quality is so poor. Next time I’m going a set a manual ISO.

At this point my Avata 2 frame is cracked and warped from all the crashes and it still flies perfect. I’ve been stuck flying from my front porch because I’m waiting for DJI to deliver the batteries I ordered so I can drive out to a new location. Feel free to try out my rates I posted in the description, it allows the Avata 2 to shoot some cinematic videos and do some acrobatic flights. For cinematic videos, just bring the camera angle down to 15, and for flights like this video, set the angle to 25.
