Hadn't thought of that. how do you shut the motors down? (you using the MC or RC?)

Don't think I would try hand launch/land with the Avata, but I do it regularly with my M2Z and Spark....so for so good

Sounds like you're in the same boat as me as regards using your Avata. I can try to answer some of your questions, though I'm not really current. Original MC is not obsolete and can still be used. New MC2 adds some features I personally would have liked, but forces Firmware updates that enable...

Still haven't seen a definitive answer to this yet myself.

Agreed. Using Gyroflow you can incorporate Rock Steady and Horizon Steady as you wish, even in the same clip, giving you much more creative control in post.

No issues here, but then I don't fly in manual mode.

Sounds incredibly frustrating. As DJI introduces more devices cross compatible between various controllers, goggles and drones, one would think that it should occur to them that pilots would wish to mix and match their devices.

I'm sure you're correct, and I myself would assume that as the MCs use USB C ports that the smarts are built in. I just like to err on the safe side personally. Besides, using the USB A ports on my power supply leaves the PD port free for the flight batteries and the QC port for the Goggle's...

I believe that if you were to get the Avata with the new Integra Goggles that problem, needing to connect the phone to the goggles to fly, would go away as the Integra has GPS built in. This was why you needed to connect a phone to the Goggles 2 for RID, as the Goggles 2 had no GPS. Thus you...

That's the same warning as the original MC, which incidentally, has a USB C port. I don't know if the MC has the smarts to negotiate with a USB QC or PP port and even if it did you won't gain much over a plain jane USB port.

If you are in the USA, yes, Remote ID (RID) is a requirement for anything over 250 grams. I'm not in the US so I'm far from an expert on the subject. I'm not sure about the actual timing of the requirement, but I do know that the latest firmware update, for the Avata in particular, has activated...

Ya, I wasn't sure about activation with Assistant, and come to think about it I believe that's how I did it too. But that was sooo long ago and memory is not what it was...

You only need the phone attached to Activate the drone initially. If you live in the US you will also need the phone attached for Remote ID. The Integra removes that second requirement. RTH is determined by the GPS in the drone when you take off. I doubt you'll be doing much "Dynamic" home...

Please elaborate. Appreciate if you would share the details.

Far as I know you need the latest firmware on your goggles and the Avata to use the MC2. If you are in the US, you are then stuck with RID. As for going back to the older MC, and assuming you udpated the firmware on the goggles, you may have to roll back that update. Not sure if that's...
