    Oh I guess that's new, great then!

    You didn't say what drone, but on most current ones you can download the full size picture from the aircraft through the app, so I'd go with the N2.

    DJI GOOGLES 3 WORKING WITH THE AIR 3 AND MINI 4 PRO

    The Goggles 3 have almost zero light leakage for me out of the box, which is a rare thing even when using aftermarket pads...

    do you need a cell phone to fly the avata2

    Yes you can. but the reason a phone is involved is because there are many people who have a phone but no PC, while the opposite is incredibly rare.

    Mavic 3 Pro won't fly but Mavic 3 Classic will

    Likely different firmware and/or NFZ database versions

    do you need a cell phone to fly the avata2

    It's on a big yellow sticker that's right in your face when you open the box. So you are using the Fly app, just on a "phone" that's built into the controller.

    Getting an Avata 2? Spend even MORE money!!

    That's the whole point of acro... when you let go of the sticks it continues on its trajectory and your inputs are just slight corrections to adjust it, in others it makes a sudden jarring jump that means nothing.

    Getting an Avata 2? Spend even MORE money!!

    For me "acro" was always more natural and I hated angle, but it might have been because I was flying fixed wing before quads. A quad in acro is basically an ideal helicopter (aside from yaw you have to actively control in forward flight rather than hover), and a helicopter in forward flight is...

    Avata 2 newbie questions

    It's sport mode you're after.

    Country code not updated and distance limitations [RESOLVED]

    Had that message on the Avata 2 but yeah just connecting the phone to the goggles and launching the app removed it.

    Buying Avata 2 vs using my Air 3 in FPV Questions

    Lock button to cancel, can't change the level but usually you should be on the ground around 20% anyway. Read your manual (and set your RTH height appropriately)

    do you need a cell phone to fly the avata2

    I'm not so sure. It is probably not necessary to use a phone to fly once configured, but there is no place in the goggles 3 to enter the pilot ID, AFAIK that has to be done (once) in the Fly app. Someone in the US needs to confirm.

    do you need a cell phone to fly the avata2

    You can do the activation/upgrades from DJI assistant on a computer, yes. Not sure about RID as I'm not in the US, but at least apart from this no phone is needed. Who buys a high tech product like a DJI drone and doesn't have a smartphone though...

    Buying Avata 2 vs using my Air 3 in FPV Questions

    As mentioned earlier it's likely just the manual being misleading and you simply have to stop recording before changing modes and start again afterwards. Haven't felt like wasting any of my flight time with the MC yet, it's cold/rainy these days...

    The New Avata FPV and you!!

    Not exactly keeping a tally but probably 65-ish, that's pushing it in straight line to go from A to B, maneuvering it's more like 40... Avata 2 seems to be 80-85 when pushed and 50-60 maneuvering but then I've only got 3 flights in. With the FPV 90's basically the base speed for me, will do...
