I tried the last DJI FPV but there was no option to customize the sticks. I learned to fly on an inverted right stick mode. (I pull down on the right stick to tip the nose forward/down. And I push up on the right stick to bring the nose up) I dont want to re learn thousands of hours of flying haha
Does anyone know if we can invert or customize the sticks if we decide to use the controller instead of a motion controller? Thanks!

Hello there tanner_mcqueen. Thank you for reaching out and for giving out these information. For reference, I will post on different modes on how to control your DJI Avata. Three preprogrammed modes ( Mode 1, Mode 2, and Mode 3 ) are available and custom modes can be configured in the DJI Fly application. Just a reminder that the default mode is Mode 2. Thank you.

It would be great to have an update with a simple software fix that allows you to invert sticks. This is common on most all FPV drones or Cine Style drones. Some users learned to fly different ways and with different setups. Without being able to have the option to customize controls, some users can not fly at all as they would not be able to operate the drone safely without learning a brand new control layout and learning new muscle memory.

Hi there TNRMQN. Thank you for the reply and for giving out these information. I will forward these information to the designated DJI department for attention. Thank you.

Sorry but Mode 2 is the most common method of flying FPV in general = Right stick forward = Nose down or forward. Right stick back = Nose up or backward. The fact that you use right stick as - Right stick back = Nose down etc is NOT the most common on almost all FPV drones. Yes ask for a possible update from the devs at DJI, but please don't state incorrect details. I'm 6yrs in and have flown with other people for this time and over and I can tell everyone on here 100% that Mode 2 is the preferred method to most pilots.

Hi! I never said it was the most common. I was stating that on many FPV drones, users have the OPTION to customize the sticks. Nor did I state anywhere that having inverted controls was most preferred by FPV users. That is what I was requesting a possible update for, for those of us that fly with different setups or needs.

Crazy that you can’t invert the sticks. Seems to be so easy via software  and also available in all other DJI drones so far. Please make it possible

Yep! That is what I am hoping they add. There is a mod where we can invert the magnet in the controller and essentially do this, but a software update would be much easier. Seems pretty simple to add.

Hello, is there a way for me to invert the right joystick With the custom mode in the DJI Fly app? I have the Avata and I cant seem to find where to invert it as Tanner_mcqueen is asking.

This is crazy to me that you can't choose your own style. The DRL Drone racing league simulator on PS5 I fly left stick forward backward. This is weird to me but can still manage in simulator. I fly with no assists on that DRL but wouldn't dare try it on this DJI fpv.

I'm a pilot.  ATP and an instructor.  Planes don't fly with the stick control for climbing/desending the way the 2S is programed.  Yes, there is a setting to change the location assignments, but not separate the individual 'boxes' so as to reverse the stick (yoke) setting.  Any way to make this happen?

Can we have an explanation about why we cannot invert sticks ?

Hi, there. We're sorry that the DJI Avata doesn't support custom stick mode due to hardware and software limitations. However, rest assured that we'll forward relevant feedback regarding this matter for future reference. Thank you for your understanding.

This is simply not acceptable for a $2000 product, all we want is a checkbox with invert in the menu. The only other way to do this, is to rip the controller apart, which is next to impossible due to how its built, and physically flip the magnets, which causes a permanent controller error to display on the goggles.

So since 2019 people bring up the topic about inverting settings for the sticks or now me about the zooming in/out and gimbal up/down movement and DJI just doesn’t care. Incredible!
