The Motion Controller is an optional accessory for the DJI FPV that adds $199 to the cost. The DJI FPV is also compatible with the Motion Controller, though it comes with a joystick controller. The position of the circle is controlled by tilting the motion controller up, down, right, and left, making maneuvering the drone almost as easy as point and click. A white circle is overlaid onto the camera view and, when the throttle trigger is squeezed, the drone flies in that direction. This is the most intuitive way to fly a drone, and it works beautifully with a head-mounted display. The DJI Avata comes standard with the Motion Controller. The Avata’s Goggles 2 also has diopter adjustments to maximize comfort and sharpness for your eyes. The latest headset has the advantage of being lighter and having a brighter, sharper 1080p display, while the Goggles V2’s resolution is 720p. The older Goggles V2 costs a little more and features four antennas, potentially giving you more flight range and handling interference better than the newer design of the Goggles 2 with two antennas.

The DJI headset with a ‘V’ in the name is the older model, but in some ways, it’s better. The Avata is available to order with either headset, so shop carefully. There’s only a one-letter difference in the name. The name is somewhat confusing, since the headset that ships with the DJI FPV is called Goggles V2. DJI Goggles 2 vs Goggles V2ĭJI’s newest headset, Goggles 2, is designed specifically for the DJI Avata. Since each is over 250 grams, you’ll need to register these drones before flying them. The DJI Avata at 410 grams (0.9 pounds) is much lighter than the FPV drone’s 795 grams (1.75 pounds).
Even a person with small fingers will find it challenging to take a card out with one hand and there’s a danger of dropping the card, which could be heartbreaking if it was lost after capturing some amazing shots with the Avata. The MicroSD card slot is placed behind a cover on the body, but access is very tight since you have to reach between the propeller blades. The compact size of the DJI Avata causes a minor annoyance, however. With the FPV drone, the propellers should be removed before you stow it away to prevent bending or breaking the blades. The DJI Avata is small enough to fit in almost any case or bag, and the propeller guards protect the blades when you’re traveling. At 7-by-7-by-3 inches, the Avata can fit through spaces that would be impossible for the DJI FPV, which is 12-by-10-by-5 inches. The DJI Avata is tiny - even smaller than an unfolded DJI Mini 3 Pro. The video ends with a crash, but the Avata was unharmed, since the propeller guards and frame protect the more delicate parts. Here’s a short YouTube video from the channel Avata Time demonstrating how easy it is for you to maneuver the DJI Avata after only a few test flights. While the Avata doesn’t stand a chance in a straight-ahead, full-throttle race, its smaller size and maneuverability might give the DJI FPV a challenge in an obstacle course.

I had to buy a pro level soldering kit and an arm from DJI and took it apart and repaired it. Hope you were able to get your FPV repaired, I'm not new to repairing drones, after crashing my Mavic 2 Pro into the side of a house after forgetting the stopping distance is much further when flying in sport mode, so I let off the throttle and instead of slowing like coasted a mile and smacked the crap outta that wall.
DJI making it so difficult to put in full manual mode looks to me like a big pain in the arse, yet maybe necessary. I've flown Mavic 2 Pro's for years, and have just bought the FPV on FleaBay and it's on the way, so I'm getting some book learning. But I did enjoy your explanation of the FPV's handling and operation, and your otherwise fine flying. I'm thinking it's not quite accurate to say (12:49 ) I was flying "it" and "it" crashed." Wouldn't it be better to say "I was flying it and crashed into a tree".which would say to other FPV drivers flying on full manual mode not to get "hot doggie" with it until well versed in it's handling, and even then it's likely to happen when flying in such an obstacle laden environment.
