Thanks so much for your comment. It looks like it’s time to retire my Mavic Mini too. It was my first drone (and I still have it), but these days, the Avata 2 is my go-to. In my opinion, FPV is the only way to fly now—not just for the thrill of cruising around (although that’s a big plus). It’s...

Thanks Cheers

Hi Dale, Thank you! I really enjoyed your montage with slow-motion shots and stills, beautifully complemented by the music. It’s inspiring—I’ll have to try something like this myself. Right now, my videos tend to be single, uncut pieces of footage, so this could be a fun new challenge for me...

Another cruise with the Avata 2

Subject: Hi everyone, I’ve got a quick question for all the battery aficionados here! I have an Avata 2 with three batteries and a charging hub. The manual suggests a high-watt charger for faster charging, and my 80-watt charger does the job beautifully—super fast and efficient. That said...

Avata 2 video christmas card for the Canadian Air Search and Rescue team I work with. This goes out to everyone here also. Merry Christmas.

No blame there—extra flight time is always a must. One thing I've noticed is that nearly every other DJI drone seems to have posts or videos highlighting issues like flyaways or loss of control etc.. However, I haven’t come across any major problems with this drone so far. All the reported...

"Using goggles is far more precise than relying on a phone screen. Enjoy your Avata 2!"

"Thank you for the encouraging comment—it means a lot coming from a flyer of your caliber. Cheers!"

Man...loving this drone. Here are a couple of videos I took last Sunday. Enjoy.

"Too late… I think I’ve already 'spoiled' myself with my tame flight. But hey, I’m in too deep to turn back now! I thought about going for the NEO setup too. I mean, we already have the goggles and controller sitting here all ready for action, and it does have some pretty cool moves on it's...

Practice, practice, practice—that's my main focus. I'm getting a bit bolder, though I know it could backfire if I'm not careful. I spend a lot of time navigating through the nearby forest, staying close to the ground and flying at a controlled speed. That way, if there’s an accidental bump, the...

"Yes, Greg, it’s a toy drone—exactly why I enjoy it. If it were a ‘serious’ drone, I doubt there’d be much fun left. Those are for surveillance, war purposes,search and rescue etc. I’ll stick to the harmless hobby version, thanks. And just to clarify, my spotter was my young grandson. I keep...

Just had my third flight with the Avata 2, and it's incredible—unlike anything else I’ve flown. The hand controller makes it so easy to maneuver. Flying FPV with the goggles is a whole different experience. No more struggling to see the screen in bright daylight. I used to feel a bit anxious...

Well, the one thing you did not mention that personally hindered my ambition for the hobby (and one that has no fix), is the negative actions from uniformed people who like to challenge your passion. For me, that has taken a lot of the wind out of my sails. Kudos to all who can ignore this...
