1) It is too expensive
If it came with the DJI Remote Controller 2 I would be ok with the price, but currently yes it is.

TCS: Eye of the beholder. There's no objective measure of "too expensive". Don't get me wrong, the price took my breath away too! Enough that it has slowed me down from getting it, but I'll be getting in not more than a month.
2) The bundles are odd and I would want the normal controller
Absolutely, I 100% believe this is DJI's way of getting rid of the Motion Controller
TCS: A number of people have said this. Maybe, I suppose, but there are other possible explanations. I want the Motion Controller, and the fact that the Pro View combo comes with that is a PLUS for me. It can also be explained if you assume a bi-furcated target market for the Avata: A) Existing DJI FPV pilots (I'm in that group), and B) New FPV pilots, with low overall experience. I don't have it yet, but everything that I've rad and seen suggest that the Motion Controller is much easier for FPV nubes, than the RC2 is.
3) It is way too loud and I would feel uneasy flying it because of this
Cinewhoops are loud, I have a few not as loud but it is what it is on this one
TCS: Ill find out when I get it. I had been flying various Minis for about 10 months when I got the FPV, and it did strike me as loud. When I eventually went to Manual mode, it struck me as really loud. I couldn't care less for myself, but I do want to avoid annoying people. Where I fly, there aren't a lot of people to annoy, so it's not a big concern for me.
4) There is no quick transfer and the SD card is in a mental place
100% agree, this is a horrible place for the SD card.
TCS: Sure looks that way. And I'm a finger-motion-klutz, so it will probably be even worse for me. I've never been interested in the Quick Transfer thing. I just pop the cards out.
5) You should have a spotter in the UK to fly it
Same in the States, but it is what it is. I've been flying FPV for 3 years so I'm use to it.
TCS: The requirement is identical to what it is for the DJI FPV, so there's nothing Avata-specific about this issue.
6) The new goggles look like they have poor range
I've seen that on the CE versions but for me (being in the States) in FCC mode I've seen they have better range than the Air / Vista units using the goggles v2
TCS: I'm in the USA too, and I expect that to be my experience as well.
7) Some say the new goggles dont fit well
This will be a personal thing as everyones face is different. I'm thinking some aftermarket foam might fix this right up.
TCS: The FPV goggles were never a problem for me. Once I had the straps correctly adjusted correctly, I could just pop them on, and never think about it again. But, there are those who say I have a fat head... ;-)
Bottom line for me is I won't buy the Avata until there is a combo with a real remote. If DJI releases the 03 Air Unit before the Avata comes with a remote I won't end up buying the Avata at all.
TCS: To each his own. I'll buy mine not earlier than tomorrow, and not later than when I get my first paycheck for my new job. :-)
I'm waiting on the 03 Air Unit because I fly my own builds but if they make a combo with a real remote before the 03 Air Unit is announced I would buy the Avata same day and use it when I travel.
