The DJI Avata, a Cinewhoop!!

[Droning on and on...]

I might be interested, IF it is compatible with the controller, motion controller and the goggles of the DJI FPV. If not, then I won't bother.

Looks like it works with the MC!

Any word on cost?

 

[Droning on and on...]

Look at that. it has ADS-B!

Hm, so there is hope it’ll at least work with the same controllers! (I do have the MC, though I almost exclusively use it when I let other people fly my FPV).

[Phrase removed by ADMIN] I might be interested! If I can put my hands on a drone with three batteries, minus the controller and the goggles for €500,- then considder me interested. Especially if the flight time is >10mins per battery

DJI AVATA SPECS AND PRODUCT PHOTOS, 18-MINUTE FLIGHT TIME, 4K VIDEO, 0.9 LBS FOR NEW DJI CINEWHOOP DRONE

GPS, RTH, current goggles v2 supported, so very likely a drone-only offering for existing DJI FPV. Not mentioned in this article, but with a kit offered with the old goggles, it must be supported.

Is this a motion controller only product?

Any clue on pricing yet?

I'll add that there's pretty solid evidence at this point that it will have rate (acro/manual) mode (a cinewhoop? how could it not?!??!?) with a top speed over 26 m/s.

However, you'll have to buy the FPV remote separately.

The Motion Controller is a breakthrough piece of technology that makes flying a drone very intuitive and reflexive. Many existing pilots don't like it, often stated because you can't go backwards, and in my opinion because they're very used to sticks and can use them well. (don't actually need backwards when you can hover in place)

However, the unwashed masses are not like that. Since I got my FPV when it came out, and the MC, I have turned on more people to the thrill of flying with that MC than any other, well, ANYTHING in 10 years in this hobby.

The Avata will be the safest drone out of the box that DJI has ever made. Selling this bundled with the MC as the controller is marketing brilliance, and I believe will expand the market to many more noobs.

And make DJI fistfulls more money. Which is the point

I just wish flying FPV didn't make me so nauseous.

Learning not to turn/move my head, and sitting, made all the difference for me.

 

[Coskier]

Sitting helped some, but I would still walk away with a bad headache.

Self-flipping Turtle mode! That's pretty clever! (Just watched the DJI intro video on their site)
