Which one is the best? Motion 3 or RC3?


I'm buying the Avata 2, but I'm not sure if I should buy also the Remote Controller 3...
I've been using drones always with remote controllers alike the RC3 since the Mavic 2 pro, at that time with my phone.
Since I'm used to it, do you thing will be better than the Motion 3?


I really would apreciate your advice!

I would say if you don't need manual mode, you probably won't need rc3.  don't judge mc3 right away, give it a few months to see how you like it.  you really have to get good at it to appreciate it.  you can always buy the rc3 later, i don't think they will go rare and difficult to find.

Are there any plans to support controlling the Avata 2 with the RC 2 and without Goggles? I see that the FAQ page says this isn’t possible now, but the RC 2 supports O4, so I’m hoping it’s a future plan?

I love the idea of an FPV drone, but especially with the Avata 2’s improved camera, I can also see many scenarios where I might want to fly it “normally”. Ideally that would not involve buying a separate drone, especially given that the batteries and other parts aren’t interchangeable.

The Remote 3 looks like it will be more precise and opens the opportunity to fly manual mode which you cant do with the MC 3.

Thanks for the reply, but the FPV Remote 3 doesn’t include a display, so I’d still need Goggles, right? I’m asking about plans to support an option to fly the Avata 2 without needing to wear Goggles at all, for situations where precision might be less important than staying aware of surroundings (I know Passthrough Mode exists, but still) or just simplifying the overall experience.

The Motion 3 is the simple method.  It allows easy control at speeds up to 16 m/s (~36 mph).  It is the safest method of flight allowing all the GPS features you are accustomed to with a DJI camera drone.  If you want the full FPV experience (total manual control), then you'll want the FPV Controller 3.  Watch some Avata 2 videos on YouTube to see the difference.  The nice thing is you can start off with the MC3 & get the FPV3 later.

Thanks everyone for your reply.
I already bought the Avata2 Fly More Combo and no RC3.

I'll keep it this way for the time being until I feel confortable to fly manual. Later, I'll buy it, also because it seems to me that the RC3 is more reliable when going through tight spaces or even more precise when flying in general with or without gyroflow.
Well, I know that depends on the user too and I admit I could be wrong...

I am planning to buy Avata 2 (waiting for my dealer stock) but for me, RC3 is a must - I am used to sticks and though I'll try the dil*o I do not believe It'll stick
P.S. I fly in S mode only M for me is a no-go for now - I can but I did not enjoy it Yet

An option could be the purchase of the RC3 and you could start improving your FPV skills on sims like Liftoff or TrypFPV, but at the moment I am not sure if the Goggles 3 and the RC3 are suported on them.
With the RC2 they worked perfectly

I was replying to the original poster not you,    I doubt they will ever support flight without the goggles as they haven't done that with the other goggle drones.

The Avata is not currently supported with the DJI RC2.  Notable is the Goggles 3 now support using the DJI RC-N2 or RC2 when paired with the Air 3 & Mini 4 Pro.  This is a much-requested & welcome feature.  Whether the Avata 2 will ever be compatible with the RC2 is unknown.

One thing to note.   There appears to have been a change with the Goggles 3 & the way RCs interact.  Previously the RC, be it MC2 or FPV2, connected directly to the drone, independently from the Goggles.  This meant you could fly with only the drone & RC.  With the Goggles 3, the MC3 & FPV3 appear to connect to the Goggles 3, which in turn passes through the commands to the bird.  There is no direct connection from the RC to the bird.  

I assume they are pairing to the Goggles 3 via Bluetooth?  You will notice the new MC3 & FPV3 are much lighter than their version 2 counterparts, as well as offering greatly increased battery life.  The increased battery life is likely because of the much less power-hungry short-range connection to the Goggles 3.  This means there is no flying an Avata 2 without the Goggles 3.  This may change when the Avata 2 becomes compatible with the Goggles 2/Integra/MC2.

Thanks for that note about the data path change. I was wondering about the change in weight and battery life too. But that still wouldn’t seem to rule out the ability to control the Avata 2 from an RC 2 without Goggles, because the RC 2 is capable of controlling other drones without Goggles, even if the MC2 and FPV3 might be unusable without Goggles.

I realize that past FPV drones haven’t offered this, but there’s always a first!

Out of curiosity, have others asked for this? I couldn’t find anything during a search here and in other forums. Or do FPV drone owners only ever want to fly in FPV mode and/or own other drones as well to cover conventional use cases?

Couple of notes on the RC2 vs RC3

RC2 = 357g, weight is balanced left to right
RC3 = 237g, noticeably heavier on left side

RC2 = 19mm sticks, black, better for thumbs
RC3 = 21mm sticks, silver, better for pinchers

RC2 = metal zoom wheel, silver
RC3 = plastic zoom wheel, black

RC2 = transmits to aircraft (?), has heatsink fins
RC3 = transmits to goggles (?), no heatsink fins

Yes. I thought about that too. But for now I'll try the motion controller.
I'm also used to sticks with the other drones and that's why I'm thinking to buy the RC3 in the nearest future.
First I'm going to try with the Motion, then we'll see.

Thanks

I get a copy of RC3 when it comes standard inside my FPV2 combo package.

I can confirm you that the RC FPV 3 works perfectly with the sims that I mentioned in my previous comment

Those slightly longer sticks were also shipped with the RC2 too btw. It came with black ones preinstalled, and grey ones were in a tiny bubble bag in the box.
