Tough Lesson Learned Flying the DJI Avata 2 (Manual Mode)

It seems like every YouTuber is crashing their Avata 2, which is a real shame as it sets a certain expectation. Hey beginners, the first thing you should know about flying your Avata 2 in manual mode is the importance of the "Pause" button located on the top left of the controller. Always keep a finger ready to press it. If you're ever confused about what the drone is doing, hitting that button will halt everything, giving you a moment to regroup. Even if your drone is upside down and plummeting towards the ground at 50 mph, pressing this button will stabilize it and wait for you to calm down. Remember, this button is your lifeline; prioritize it, especially before attempting any risky maneuvers.

“If you aren t crashing you aren t flying” Every Ryanair pilot 😂

First rule of flying a drone: No matter how little the crash, you go get it and exam it for damage. The second thing I wanted to say is that when you flipped it into manual mode the green dots that you need to align before it switches it to manual mode were pretty close to the middle, so that was just bad on DJI's end tbh.

Great video. I love the warts an all content, nothing hidden, everything shown as it should be. Good luck and thank you.

Cool video! Always a good idea to bring it back slowly and check for damage no matter how small the crash. Better safe than sorry. Glad you had CR. Thanks for sharing! 🤘

Thanks for the video. I'm new to the drone scene after seeing someone fly a custom drone at a tech conference. He advised me to buy this one, and advised me to get a warranty from the vendor. After buying it I noticed DJI had a replacement plan that better aligned to my goals, and I canceled the vendor warranty and got the DJI warranty. It's nice to see this and learn how reliable that warranty is. I am a more cautious flyer and haven't received my FPV Remote yet. I've only hit a few tree limbs so far and I'm in good shape. I wish I had more time to fly and that there were more places to do so near me. I plan to post my videos to YouTube as well. o7

Great video. Despite the crash, I'm glad you're back in the air.

Last Sunday, I crashed my Avata 2 after 3 days of having it. Immediately used the care refresh express and the new one came in on Wednesday. I just flew it today and I was much more conservative. Just have to get my confidence back up.

Nice flying. I love the Avatas and have both 1 and 2. Things to keep in mind; 1. These are highly sensored, automated drones. If you crash, something may be knocked out of calibration. Need to throughly check out the drone after a crash. 2. Compared to any other modern drone the Avata 2 doesn’t fly acro very well. It’s ok, but if I am going to fly acro I have much better drones for that. I love the motion controller and view the Avata 2 as an explorer drone. Love your videos.

Awesome video! DJI Care Refresh goes beyond my personal expectations in resolving issues expediently, especially having crashed the original numerous times :) Definitely enjoy flying the Avata 2!

I love that Chapel in the forest. What an awesome flying spot.

So whats the flying difference between this fpv and the mini 4 pro flying? Is this always accelerating?

Always good content brother. I don't know how to get your channel boosted but you deserve it.

Were green protectors around the propellers something you can buy on the side ?

Nice flight i just got the avata 2 what a fun drone. The motion controller is great to get use to the speed, depth and also fun to go explore your spot. Full manual give you more option that for sure, but better start slow and build your skill up.

Great video Chad!

I just crashed mine like 15 mins ago. Broke the gimble and a prop guard. Good thing i got the protection plan but man I feel your pain.

I just purchased this drone two days ago. This is my very first drone ever and I am having a blast so far. I want to order a control very soon so I can have better response, I like the motion controller but I think I would do a lot better with the controller 3.

Nice Video. Dont forget the pause button.. Thanks for sharing your DJI Care Refresh experience.
