The Avata Pro-View Combo retails for $1,388 and includes the Avata, DJI Goggles 2 and the DJI Motion Controller. The DJI Avata Fly More Kit retails for $279 USD and includes two DJI Avata Intelligent Flight Batteries and one DJI Avata Battery Charging Hub. SkyPixel and DJI Call for Entries to SkyPixels 7th Anniversary Aerial Photo and Video Contest](https://dronelife.com/2021/12/21/skypixel-dji-drone-video-contest/) Avata’s safety features include a dedicated emergency brake and hover feature that will cause the drone to stop and hover in place at any point during the flight when an emergency situation is encountered. A standalone version of the Avata retails for $629 without a remote controller, motion controller or goggles. Like other DJI drones, Avata uses DJI’s GEO 2.0 geofencing system to advise pilots of airspace restrictions and potential hazards, and to automatically prevent the drone from flying near certain high-risk locations, such as airports. The wider field of view enables immersive aerial photography and videography at up to 4k/60fps, as well as slow-motion footage at 2.7K/100fps. The DJI Motion Controller allows the pilot to precisely fly complex maneuvers based on the natural motions of one hand. DJI Goggles 2 also offers a wireless streaming function to view the live feed from the operator’s mobile phone or computer on the goggles screen, bringing an immersive viewing experience. DJI Goggles 2 also features a clearer Micro-OLED screen with adjustable diopters, so people who normally wear glasses do not need to use them when operating the drone with the goggles. The Avata weighs only 410 grams and incorporates safety features, such as built-in aerodynamic propeller guards and a Turtle mode, which flips the drone upright in the case of an upside-down landing. “DJI Avata is breathtaking to fly for even a novice pilot.”

As for the DJI Avata Fly Smart Combo, it gets you the drone with the DJI FPV Goggles V2 and the DJI Motion Controller. However, the latter is only possible with the DJI FPV Goggles V2; if you’re using the regular DJI Goggles 2 you’ll only be able to get 100fps max. The DJI Avata Pro-View combo meanwhile includes the drone itself, DJI Goggles 2 and the DJI Motion Controller. If you already have the older DJI FPV Goggles V2 though, you’ll still be able to use it with this. Basically, if it ever falls down, you can activate ‘Turtle Mode’ and the DJI Avata will simply flip itself back upright and it’ll be ready to fly once again. DJI has introduced their latest drone, the DJI Avata.

DJI has officially launched the Avata, its second first-person view (FPV) drone after the first model that debuted back in March of last year.

Performance-wise, the Avata has a maximum takeoff altitude of 5000 m, maximum flight distance of 11.6 km and maximum flight time of approximately 18 minutes, which is slightly lower than the DJI FPV. Apart from the remote controller, these accessories are included together with the device, though the goggles type will depend on the combo that you’re going for. Additionally, the newer drone packs a larger 48 MP 1/1.7-inch CMOS camera with 155-degree field of view, which is mounted on a single-axis (tilt) gimbal up in front. As for flight modes, the new drone features Normal, Manual and Sport. For starters, the DJI Avata is more compact and lighter, coming in at only 410 g. Despite this, it’s still the smaller device when compared to the DJI FPV.

DJI's newest drone got official today. It's called Avata and the company says it's "the ultimate immersive drone experience" for fans of first-person view ...

The DJI Avata is available today from DJI's online store for $629 (or €579, £499) by itself, or $1,388 (€1,429, £1,229) bundled with the DJI Goggles 2 and the DJI Motion Controller. That said, you can also control it with the existing DJI FPV Remote Controller 2 and the DJI FPV Googles V2. It pairs with the DJI Goggles 2 and the DJI Motion controller, to deliver "the almost out-of-body experience of FPV flight", according to DJI Creative Director Ferdinand Wolf.

Still, if you want to fly FPV – and capture amazing footage – then getting the soldering iron out and assembling a kit of parts is no longer essential. The DJI Avata isn’t a natural choice for stills because the single-axis gimbal means the airframe’s cushioning – and digital image stabilization – have to absorb the rest of the vibrations. Structurally that didn’t seem to be a problem, and we won’t question individual responsibility, but it is worth remembering the weight means this shouldn’t be flow too near others. Nevertheless all the controls are available via the track-pad on the right of the goggles, with a double-fingered tap to go up a menu level. The goggles also support recording of video, and includes a Micro SD card so you can capture your exploits (or playback movies to yourself). That said we were testing in the UK, where a 2km range is stated – in the US it is 10km thanks to differing radio regulations. DJI have opted to display 1080P video at a refresh rate of 100 Hz (rather than 810P at up to 144Hz as on the older FPV Goggles V2), but we detected no problems with the fluidity. Control of the goggles is via a small touch pad on the right-hand side, and this quickly becomes second nature. When you’re within 20m / 60ft of the surface, the drone’s vision sensors track it, and nearer the surface ToF sensors track the height to within 10cm (3in). The drone has three speed modes, but only Normal (8 m/s / 17.9 mph) and Sport (18 m/s / 31.3 mph) are available with the floating handle controller. The tilting gimbal is mounted on a vibration dampener attached to the core body, not the replaceable parts. Although DJI is the biggest brand in drones, they have largely stuck to pro and consumer products which lean hard on usability and photography.

The DJI Virtual Flight App is a free simulator app that familiarises new pilots with drone flying movements in an easy, fun and risk-free environment. S mode is the middle step between the three modes and was developed to give pilots more room to explore their skills as they get accustomed to the drone. This Augmented Reality (AR) perspective gives an extra sense of orientation to help the pilot locate the immediate environment in seconds. Experienced users can customise parameters and enjoy flight and footage unlike anything else. Both goggles offer a video resolution of up to 4k/60fps. When it comes to 2.7k and 1080p video resolution, the DJI Goggles 2 offer 2.7k and 1080p at up to 100fps, while the DJI FPV Goggles V2 offer 2.7k and 1080p at up to 120fps. heliguy™ Repair Refresh crash cover is available for the DJI Avata; The Motion Controller comes in the DJI Avata Pro-View and Fly Smart combos, while the DJI FPV Remote Controller 2 - needed to fly the Avata in Manual Mode - is available separately. Ideal for those who already have compatible controllers and goggles. For a truly immersive FPV experience, combine the DJI Avata with either the new DJI Goggles 2 or the DJI FPV Goggles V2 which were released with the DJI FPV Drone. - DJI Avata Fly Smart Combo: Includes DJI Avata, the DJI FPV Goggles V2 and the DJI Motion Controller. Fly the DJI Avata with the intuitive DJI Motion Controller or DJI FPV Remote Controller 2, and absorb yourself in the action with either the original DJI FPV Goggles V2 or the all new DJI Goggles 2.
