HI , got my avatar and started flying on the simulator where everything works fine.When I want to fly with the drone everything turns on fine and i can start the avatar and it hovers
but then the motioncontroller stops working.
I cannot accelerate or turn the drone!
landing works fine

what am i doing wrong?

avatar pro package, updated firmware with dji fly

Just to be clear, you can use the controller to take off and land but nothing else?

If I'm correct about that, I have no idea why it's not working unless it's not totally linked to the Avata and Goggles. You might try a manual link-up and see if that helps.

YES I can only take off and land nothing else. what is strange as well that I do not get the white dot I usually get when flying with the motion controller!

Manual linking:
press the button the avatar hold it till it starts beeping, then take the controller and press the on button and hold it till it starts beeping.
when the beeping stops they should be linked?

tried that, no change

I hate to hear that. It sounds like something may be wrong with the controller. You might want to contact DJI via a ticket or their live chat and see if they can help further or get you a new remote.

Sorry I was not able to help, someone else on here may have an answer.

Hi there. Thank you for reaching out and we're sorry for the trouble that this has caused. Since you already tried to manually link them and the issue still persists, could you please try to connect your DJI Avata and DJI Motion Controller to the DJI Assistant 2 software to make sure that you are using the latest firmware? If yes, please try to refresh it to see if the issue persists. You may download the software using the link below. Thank you for your valued support.

Hi all!
I had the same issue in the simulator on my iPhone. But I have solved it by a rebooting all devices. And one more thing - it was on the previous firmware.

UPDATE: got the gimbal to work again after a few reboots, but the problem that after I  take off  I can#t do anything besides landing persists!!! Also did a calibration of the motion controller this went all fine and completed successfully, but still no control with the MC

seem like I received a MONDAY AVATAR

Hello there. Sorry about the trouble. Do you mean the Avata does not respond when pressing the accelerator in Motion 2? Have a nice day.

Motion controller 1


Starts motor hover and land but nothing else

Tried 4 motion controllers so far
The only thing I can think of is my camera doesn't work


Does the avata need gimble camera to fly ?

Motion controller 1

Hi there. Is there any error message on your screen? Will it be fine if you show us a video of the operation? Thank you very much.

No error message regarding controller
The only error I'm getting is gimble error and vision sensor not connected

But I was getting the problem before those errors.


. cant do picture don't have goggles with me

I would send the Avata in for DJI to fix. Seems you have a lot of issues. The motion controller relies on GPS and the vision sensor to work properly.

I'll see what happens once I install

Hi there. Have you experienced any hard landings or collisions? Have a nice day.

I have a similar problem .  I think your controller is not authenticating to your account I can not get mine to register with DJI.  It is linked and will work but every-time I connect I have to connect to an Ipnone for location identification. to authenticate my remote ID.  I dont think your controller is linked to your account can be bound to drone and goggles but will not work,  Dji support does not know how to help on this.
