This is a thorough testing of the DJI Avata 2, crash included in the video.

Great review and some nice flying too.

Nice review.

This guy does lots of comprehensive reviews on each new DJI product.

Yeah, too bad there are so many of them.

So many of what? What do you mean?

Any one aware that the avata 2 vision sensor calibration is missing in the dji assistance? So you cant calibrate it any more after a bad crash?

USER001 Posted at 4-17 01:01

Reviewers of the exact same product at the 'almost exact' same time.

No. Can you leave a link?

It's because they don't buy the product with their own money. DJI gives it to them and DJI gives them some money in they portray the product in a positive way.

Yeah indeed.

Montfrooij Posted at 4-18 01:48
Yeah indeed.

That's why I mostly look at the real official DJI Specs, and not the review because there is a high chance that the reviewer is paid to make the product seem good.

Yeah, I usually wait for the 'real' users.
(if they can make good footage with it, that is usually a better indication)

Mostly, the ones with <1K subscribers are unpaid, but the problem with them is that their reviews aren't good enough.

I guess you can't have your cake and eat it too.

I have mixed experiences. Some are quite good, but for me it's more about the 1:1 conversation when I see the user making footage with a product I like.

What do you mean? Like an argument or a discussion?

I mean like when I'm interested in a camera and I see a 'real' user make a video WITH it. Then I start asking questions about how he likes it. Usually I feel I get more honest answers than when somebody is making a review.
I mean, they are nice to see what the product can do, but by asking users the things I'm curious about, I feel I get to know the product a lot better.

If you want to know more about the Avata 2, talk to me or DA. We both have it.

Yes, some of the new products do the calibration automatically now.

Cool review

Hi there. The  DJI Assistant 2 does not support Vision Calibration for Avata 2. f you experience a bad crash, it is suggested to send the aircraft back to DJI for diagnosis. Have a nice day.

How do you like it?

Montfrooij Posted at 4-30 23:49

I really like it. I like the Ultra-Wide FOV but it can sometimes cause distortion, but mostly it's very good.

Good to hear.

I'm sure there is a tool to correct the distorted photos.

Can't you set the field of view in the Avata like with the Action X?

Montfrooij Posted at 5-2 00:02
Can't you set the field of view in the Avata like with the Action X?

Yes but then when you have low FOV it looks slow. 16m/s in 155° looks 10x faster than 16m/s in 83°.

Aha, never realized that.

Before I got my Avata 2, I always fitted a Wide-Angle Lens to my Mini 4 Pro when flying in S mode, because if the recording is not fast enough then there is no point in even having S mode because it just drains the battery faster.

I never use s mode myself.

You should try it in an open space. Use your Mavic Pro because S mode is excellent on the Mavic and the Air series. Your Mavic Pro can go 40mph.

I sold my MP long time ago.
That was a lot of fun in S mode indeed. But the Mini series is a bit of a disappointment in S mode.

I am just sad i suffer from motion sickness, otherwise it would have been an amazing addition to the familly

I recommend connecting the Goggles to your phone. Then you do not need to feel the motion sickness in the Goggles, you can just look at your phone.

Mavic Pro:40mph.
Mini series: 36mph.
Not a big difference at all. Maybe you have a lot of wind in your area because the Mini series are not designed for wind.

I think there is wind 85% of my flights, so that must be it.

Yes, if you say there is a lot of wind, maybe that's why Sport mode is not good on your Minis.
