Yeah, that's the only place there are any stickers, but nothing that shows the classification. Very surprising! Think I'll raise a case with DJI and ask them directly.

Thanks for that @Cafguy. I definitely don't have a marking like that anywhere on my Avata 2. I'm not sure if it's a legal requirement to have the drone labelled with the classification as long as the model is clearly shown so that it can be checked.

Hi all, I'm taking my Avata 2 to a few European countries in a couple of weeks and am just registering it / registering myself with the EASA. I live in the UK but because our stupid country decided to leave the EU - Brexit - my UK registrations aren't valid in the EU, even though they are...

In future, that will be exactly how I fly in these situations 👍

Too late to try that I'm afraid as the crashed drone is back with DJI and I have a brand new one courtesy of DJI Care Refresh 😁

I've not actually tried it on this A2 yet. But wouldn't have helped in this situation sadly 😳

I flew a 3D drone with reversible ESCs/motors once. For about 5 minutes. Badly.... 😂 My muscle memory would let me go centre stick to drop power to zero and kept firing the drone towards to ground at a scary speed 😫😂

Yeah, I guess you're right. I guess it's just one of a number of things that are very different than the freestyle drones I'm used to. If they crash, simply flick a switch to disarm. Or with the A2 in manual mode with the FPV controller, both sticks down and in. Although really, even if this...

A bit of a warning to others, and also to see if anyone has an answer to an issue. I had a little mishap with my Avata 2 last week 😩 I was flying with the MC3 in Sport Mode with Head Tracking enabled, and was filming my glider which was being piloted by my friend. We were slope soaring with...

I wondered where you were going when you suggested hiding in the closet!! 🤣🤣🤣 Funnily enough, I had a play around flying through my house yesterday, much to my dogs' consternation! I showed my girlfriend who thought I'd just filmed it on my phone, until I magically levitated out of the...

Ah yes, good point! It is odd flying the Avata 2 in Normal or Sport mode. Maybe not odd, just different, even to flying in Angle mode on my other quads. Will take a while for the muscle memory to change I guess 🙂 I've only had one DJI quad before - the original Mavic Air - and that was a...

Yeah, appreciate it's limited, but was hoping there may be a bit of 'tweaking' possible like you can alter the max angle for Angle in Betaflight. No big deal as Manual is crazy easy on this after my other FPV quads. I was more interested to see if it would allow me to be lazy 🤣

Hi all. I've been an FPV pilot for several years, flying acro on 3", 5", 7" 4S and 6S home built quads, often with a GoPro strapped on top! I recently bought an Avata 2 as I wanted some new HD goggles anyway (hoping for O4 Air Unit to arrive soon!) and thought the Avata 2 would be fun, give...
