DJI AVATA 2 - CRASH TESTS!

[Music] some serious hoonage through the woods oh that actually gave me a bit of motion sickness then wow what a lot of fun no well I've stacked it so you're about to see guys the first ever crash of ARA 2 I really don't have to go and get that that's quite a long way away welcome back guys welcome back it's been a while and it's also been a while since I actually flew a bit of fpv so what better way to get back into a bit of flying than with the new DJI avarta 2 so this is brand new from DJI it literally landed yesterday and yeah I managed to get my hands on this via Amazon um obviously I've paid for this this is not like a review model anything like that I have the avat one which I absolutely love it's a great drone for kind of you know getting some really good shots and it's it's you know quite a good travel drone actually as well so the Drone itself I've got this package which comes with basically the new goggles 3 which I'm super excited about these have got little cameras on the front so you can actually see um you know your sort of surroundings more on that in a bit um and then we've also got this sort of um I don't know really what you call it this like kind of like half of a joystick um never been that much of a fan of these but I'll tell you what um I did actually try the previous one on the avat and I was quite pleasantly surprised and I know some other YouTubers that have been as well so yeah the Drone itself it's a little bit bigger than the avata it's got the new camera on there the 04 camera um and yeah I mean a lot has changed one thing you've actually got access to the USBC Port without having to kind of go in via the propellers that's that was the first thing I noticed you've also got some obstacle avoidance cameras now on there as well for the back and the sides I believe um and all new improved design now other thing about this is I did wonder um I was talking to my mate earlier shout out to U fpvtv um we were talking about you know is it possible to replace the the frames like you could on the previous avat um but it doesn't look like it and I think he contacted DJI and they said no you have to replace well you'd have to send it in for a repair um I mean I never broke the frames I never actually broke the flames and I I threw mine around and smashed into you know all these trees in this little Forest which I love flying in um loads and I never had a problem it's still going today but yeah anyway that was something we were wondering about battery is kind of changed now you've kind of got this kind of more conventional sliding battery like a lot of the other drones in the range um there's no sort of T30 kind of um battery connector anymore it's just literally uses dji's kind of proprietary thing but that's fine hopefully it'll actually stay in the Drone like the previous one pops out quite a bit um but yeah anyway let's get this thing up and up and running cuz I kind of wanted to do this video as a bit of a like quick intro to it um my thoughts so far and then obviously you know later down the line we'll kind of go into more detail and stuff but I think the best thing to do is just to fire this up and just see what it can do you know don't bother reading the instructions just jump straight in so the goggles seem pretty nice um you've kind of got this kind of flappy I don't know what this is really this is a sort of a I'm not sure about that I don't know how well that's going to wear but that's obviously designed to stop a bit of light leak but you'll notice that there's obviously a battery on here as well the batter's on the back and basically this allows you to so this doesn't tilt like you thought like you think it would it doesn't allow the goggles to kind of come up um you know and flip them up so you can leave them on your head but it's not too much of a problem because cuz this is now super easy to put on your head um and with the little clicker thing on the back you can just sort of tight tighten it up and then you can push this down and really get a proper fit um you know that's about as far as it goes up um which isn't a problem but it just means that you've got more flexibility to get it over your face a little bit better quite like that so anyway let's turn them on but there's it's a really bad angle but there's the little on and off button here it's just conventional kind of DJI tap it once and then again to turn it on goes back to the old did the old ones have that sound on I can't remember I feel like that sound goes back to like the Phantoms and stuff I don't know now we'll be using the um motion controller thing um thing we do uh cuz I haven't received my um controller yet the proper one with sticks which is what I prefer using obviously you know I'm a kind of experienced RC pilot so I'd like to use something with sticks um I've lost the net with that I tell right that should turn on yeah so the controller is on its way right now I should have that in the next couple of days um and that is now firing up it basically just makes the same sound as the avat when it starts up so we're all on this thing still isn't even on come on what's going on there you go everything's beeping right okay flipp the goggles on and I've actually gone into the um the mode that allows you to see goggles pass through it's a bit weird it's actually really zoomed in um but frame rate is pretty good um you can basically toggle this um the picture and picture view which you won't see from here because obviously I'm just looking at in the goggles you can toggle that um when you push that button twice it just turns it back into normal conventional um sort of drone mode so yeah so I need to start the recording how do we do that these days right okay we start recording no problem at all so that's good all right we're good to go then so I'm just going to take the Drone stick it somewhere somewhere kind of flat out of the way of obstacles that sort of stuff actually feel a bit weird stand sitting down um which I would normally do feel a bit weird sitting down with the um you know with this motion control thing motion control motion control sickness so to start the Drone you press that twice it started and then you hold this button to take off there we go we're up well that was easy so now apparently so you can look up and down by moving the motion stick up and down like that um and if you hold in the trigger just slightly you get this kind of like Circle and then you can basically just pivot around there you go there's me um and everything else so yeah so far so good frame rate looks really good I've got it in 4k 60 and it's showing 60 megabits per second as well which is pretty cool um now to move forward you just basically point this circle where you want to go you won't see this obviously and then you just pull the trigger in so we're just going to go for a little cruise around here in fact I'm going to go out of the out of the woods straight through here whoa and um give it some beans and we'll see well there's quite a bit of wind there must be a bit of wind up here right I'm just going to sort of bank around um right so how do we change the mode I want to change change into sport mode I think right sport mode right let's let's have a go that see what see what's going on here it's weird actually it's kind of well that's pretty quick yeah I'm loving that I tell you what it's quieter it's a lot quieter than the um than the other one than the avat one oh wow I could I could get used to this though this could controller is pretty cool um right I don't know where I am now it's been a while since I've flown around here but yeah I'm flat out basically just cruising around um and all in all it's pretty easy I reckon you could you know really get get good at this um right so we're sort of heading in whoa reliving some childhood dreams now this is like Star Wars isn't it how cool is this um so image on the goggles very very similar to um the O 03 I'd say um I'm not noticing anything anything crazy different like in terms of like you know quality and everything else look at me standing there like a like an idiot um but yeah loving this this is this is brilliant I'll tell you what I actually love this yeah cruise through here go underneath this um this thing here which I'd normally loop around or I need to get a bit high but yeah how good is this just literally off the bat straight away and if you do sort of think right oh I'm going to I'm going to hit something here you can just literally just come straight off that forward trigger and then you're going to find that you can just you know it just breaks pretty well I tell you what there's so many um so many trees down there whoa so I haven't seen any issues with um with the signal yet or anything like that it's saying I've got 20 minutes left like 19 minutes 30 [Music] seconds this is absolutely brilliant I absolutely love it I mean you know if you didn't want to just didn't want to learn the all the skills of fpv you could pretty much just do this and get some pretty good you know pretty good uh footage um the other thing is as well is um yeah I mean obviously I'm going to get the uh fly with the controller cuz I want to fly a bit more conventional fpv cuz I do believe you can get probably I don't going to say that like the flow that you can get with this is he pretty good but you you just you're obviously not going to be able to do so many of those um what's that down there um you're not going to be able to do so sort of any of those kind of crazy um Maneuvers and stuff like that but I'm out the other side of the woods now and we're still full signal that is insane look how fast that is that's mad I tell you what this this 04 that is next level I don't think I could do this with the with the O3 not not through the woods I mean I'm literally on the other side of this Woodland here that's is mad and it slows down pretty quick as well so let's go back in and make sure we don't H anything home Point still sh oh no who there's a few branches guys this is insane um so we yeah we still noticed a little glitch there in the goggles but to be honest well no um you know we are quite quite a way through quite a lot of um leafy areas my arm's aching holding this thing out that's another problem you notice but oh look at that but you know know what I mean it's it's quiet I can't hear it I could definitely hear the um you know the avat one I would be hearing that guys this is this is brilliant this is absolutely brilliant DJI you need to send me this stuff I'm telling you cuz this is awesome [Laughter] wowers some serious hoonage through the woods oh that actually gave me a bit of motion sickness then I got a little bit of um I nearly sort of fell backwards wow what a lot of fun no well I've stacked it so you're about to see guys the first the first ever crashed of AR 2 I really don't have to go and get that that's quite a long way away um how do we start can we start this up again make sure surrending is safe right uh motor starting yes that's good and it's gone back in sport mode as well okay right so we learned the hard way that way then um hands g a bit shaky now right I'm going to bring it in and we'll just see if anything smashed to Pieces um I shouldn't think so cuz it's um it still still seems to be flying okay um like I say it's the it was the the concern I had was um you know will it put up with the same amount of abuse as the other aat a one um whoa my hands too shaky for this now all I'm just going to re re-evaluate where am I oh I'm through there AR I right okay so bring it back I can look directly [Music] down yeah that'll be about [Music] right well I'm I'm well impressed with that that is oh look it's right in front of me as well okay so let's check this bad boy out see what's happened no it's not a mark not a mark at all it's a bit of bit of summit there oh yeah look it's definitely taken a bit of a tumble you can see a bit of bit of thing there well it's good to chrisen it when it you know it's got to be done is it um guys I'm really impressed with that that my first the first avat that I flew in here um had a problem and it literally just it lost signal um and I was not you know I was I wasn't anywhere near as far as this was um I lost signal and it I actually lost the Drone it was it was quite a funny video well it wasn't for me but it I actually lost it um and then actually just bought another one cuz I you know I wanted toly you know test out and have some fun with it and I got a lot of footage out of um you know the avat but yeah that signal strength is is pretty remarkable um it just moves on again do it that's the thing it really is interesting but I've still got a couple of couple of bars of battery left so I think what I'll do I'll just burn burn a little little bit off you see it's saying 60% 60% oh it's just it's crazy isn't it see I haven't actually got the um start that I haven't got the uh fly mall I didn't bother with the flymore I just wanted to see what this was like first of all um before I kind of committed to everything else um I'm not going to bother trying the flips and rolls I'm going to work that out and then show you cuz it could just end up in disaster wor it will it would in here um okay so what I was going to try and do is just change this head tracking thing yeah now that's weird that is really [Music] strange that's Madness you can so you can look around you can still fly it but you can just kind of look around as well so if I want to just stop there and just look at that tree I can just you know look up there is madness I mean every drone should be like this I think it's incredible it is really really blooming interesting I mean as I say I've tried this before on the avat 1 I actually bought a motion controller before um I don't know what it's on there is it like motion controller 3 or something something like that the one I had before was a two I think and um I tried it before and I thought yeah you know that's pretty pretty cool um and I did find that I could do like loads of stuff that I couldn't do like flying flying in between car windows and stuff like that like flying in a window and then out the other side um I could do that really easily with this motion controller um whereas with the sticks you've got because the way you when you fly an fpv drone you you basically fly it it's like you're you're you're all about momentum and this doesn't work that way so you know you kind of have to work out where you're going to end up with a with when you're flying fpv which is part of the skill and part of the fun um but you just couldn't do that sort of thing really quick or definitely couldn't do it that slow for sure um but with this you can and it kind of takes it takes the skill out of it um but is is it is it a new skill that's the thing is it a new skill and I mean you know you're going to get people that can get really good with this I'm sure they I'm sure you could but um yeah I love it I think it's it's it's worth getting definitely if you like this sort of thing if you're interest just flying proper fpv then probably don't bother um but then that said I've always thought the avat was good because basically you've got all of the features of a normal DJI drone like you know especially if you're if you're doing some sort of ballsy stuff you could you can kind of do more stuff like if you're when I was flying off of a boat in Turkey like having the avat is brilliant because you you don't have to worry about taking off and landing on something that's moving you know I mean I can do it but it does require a certain skill set to do it yeah this is great guys really good so yeah I'm I'm at just at 45% battery so I mean you know I'm starting to think well I nearly hit that then and started to think well you know maybe I can just do something else now um that's cool look I can whoa near fell over um that was me that was sort of a combination of my head so like can as I'm going past that I can like wow that's interesting isn't it I can kind of do one of those cool things that takes you ages to do in fpv it's making me dizzy now neat guys neat really neat whoa so guys yeah I think um I'm just going to bring this in now and get this video uploaded so you can see what it's all about um first off the cuff the goggles themselves let me just think about some things that I did when I set up initially um basically I when I set it all up I didn't do a firmware update um and then I I sort of just get got everything set up I did the FCC mod as well which technically I'm allowed to do because I've got a hand radio license but um yeah it's it's safer to be doing um safer to be using an FCC uh hack on this because I mean look you've seen the range of this thing it's not going to go out range not unless you're not unless you're really stupid um but yeah that works absolutely fine same process as goggles 2 um really easy to do ham uh I'm not going to pretend to remember the file name but basically just shove a file file on uh the SD card and I'm going to wa second in a minute um and then yeah it will just put it into FCC mode so that's no problem um what else yeah there was a weird thing with a fly safe update it was taking ages to do it um to so I actually just quit it um because I just thought this is going to take hours it was moving 1% every like 15 I don't know not 15 minutes it was do every every like 3 minutes it was it was taking 1% so I just thought do you know what oh look at that that's so fast it feels so fast I can't wait to see the footage um but other than that yeah that this is pretty much out the box I've changed no settings really just the camera 4K 6 D um I did I did have some when I set it up first of all I did choose 4K 30 cuz I think that was the maximum it was before I updated the firmware but then um then I noticed it was really laggy like don't use 4K 30 cuz the the footage in the goggles is really really bad like you know it's sort of tears all over the place um and it's really laggy so I got concerned first of all um thinking that that was that was going to be a problem but oh this is brilliant is it oh no oh that was super close yeah guys so hope you enjoyed this one don't forget like subscribe if you want to see more of this stuff just let me know in the comments and I'm going to go and crash this absolutely royally now see you later he's still on 26% battery I'm glad I didn't bother buying more batteries that's no point I don't know don't know I don't know what to do
