    Drone for beginners

    Honestly when it comes to ease of use and flying. The Avata2 with the motion controller is crazy easy. Especially if you start out at beginner mode. I think the bigger question is what do you want to do long term? Fun flying, acrobatics, FPV stuff, or slower, cinematic camera stuff?

    When and why to use head tracking with the Avata 2

    Still training for manual mode, but loving my ability to get most of the cinematic shots I need with the motion controller. I see a lot of discussion on the avata 1 on head tracking, but I'm wondering with the Avata 2 and hopefully some improvements, for those that have spent some time...

    *** New Forum *** NEO Pilots

    If I already have a member account, can I attach it to the new area, or is it a completely new site? I tried to log in with my account there and it wont take it.

    River Rip

    When you are diving, how do you know when to pull up? Is it just something that takes time to master, or you use height or ground sensor?

    Another comparison video, Gyroflow vs on-board stabilization

    I guess it would depend on the feel you want from the video. If you want an FPV feel (banking corners) I like Rock Steady (1) and GyroFlow (2). Of course if you don't want the banking turns then Horizon Steady IMHO.

    Sunrise over Cowichan Bay - DJI Avata 4K Video

    That's what I figured, but I'm still an observer sitting on the fence and haven't purchased my avata yet. :) Great footage, pushed me a little closer to pushing that avata button. Just not sure if I should jump it and the get pack without the actual controller. But if I do, then I'm almost at...

    Sunrise over Cowichan Bay - DJI Avata 4K Video

    When you were going backward, was that done in post, or were you really fly backwards?

    DJI Store Day - up to 40% off - and chance to win $35K gift card

    Well, there is this a free DJI Toiletry bag. Also some waterproof, soft-side back pack, if you buy a drone. As far as actual good deals, only thing I saw was the Action 2 camera, but the action 3 is out. Not a fan of labeled back packs because I really don't want folks knowing there's a...

    DJI Store Day - up to 40% off - and chance to win $35K gift card

    Don't know if we'd expect a big discount on their newest, most in demand drones, but at a minimum probably get a good discount on accessories or older drones. Keeping my fingers cross there is an Avata discount though. . . If you google DJI Store Day, and follow the instructions to share it on...

    Seriously considering Avata, but . . .

    That was the money shot for me!! Not that it was the best shot of group, technically easier, I was just dying to see it. :)

    FPV Newbie, first flight with my Avata.

    Motion controller or controller? And if first time did you practice first in the simulator?

    Seriously considering Avata, but . . .

    @Kilrah >>Yes it flies exactly like the DJI FPV when you're using the RC, just slower/less power. No worries, I can fix that in post, 😄 I like your videos - is this your first FPV, and if so how long did it take you to get where you were comfortable flying those missions? On the second...

    Avata costs vs getting started from scratch?

    Wow that was a complete video. That along with all the good feedback here has me on board. Its just a question of when. Do I order now or cross my fingers and hope for a black friday / cyber monday discount.

    Editing Avata Video. Who has done this using a PC?

    I use pinnacle studio 26. You can download and try for 15 days or purchase with 30 day guarantee to return. Does your software support preview resolution for the timeline? For instance, I shoot most of my stuff in 5K on the Air2s so I can crop, my timeline is at 1/4 resolution so the clips...

    Avata costs vs getting started from scratch?

    I've seen a lot of complaints that the Avata is expensive, but I'm wondering what's the cost difference it you're starting from scratch? Controller, Camera, drone, goggles, etc. for Avata, vs comparable set up? In my defense I never bought a Harley, so an Avata seems like a much more...
