DJI’s new drone was made official today. It’s called Avata, and the company claims it’s the “ultimate immersive drone experience” for first-person flying (FPV) fans. It pairs with DJI Goggles 2 and the DJI Motion Controller, to deliver the “almost out-of-body experience of FPV flight,” according to DJI Creative Director Ferdinand Wolf. That said, you can also control it with your existing DJI FPV Remote Controller 2 and DJI FPV Googles V2.
The Avata has a battery life of 18 minutes thanks to its 2,420mAh battery and weighs 410g. It has built-in propeller guards for indoor safety, while its 155-degree field-of-view ultrawide camera is equipped with a 1 / 1.7 “CMOS sensor. It can shoot in 4K at 60 fps as well as” 2, ” 7K “at 50 / 60/100/120 fps.
It can hover like a traditional drone, accelerate like a pilot, zoom in and out in confined spaces, and stop “in a split second”. If he happens to land upside down, the new Turtle mode allows him to flip over and take off again.
Speaking of modes, there are three for operation: Normal, in which the Avata operates similarly to other DJI drones, hovering in place with the use of satellite navigation systems or vision positioning on the bottom of the drone ; Manual mode (only with the DJI FPV Remote Controller 2) is where you have complete and unlimited control and get the immersive FPV flight experience, with the ability to customize the parameters to your liking.
Finally, Sport mode is a hybrid blend of the other two, offering some of the dynamic motion capabilities that come with Manual mode along with some of the main safety features of Normal mode.
The DJI Avata is available today in DJI’s online store for $ 629 (or € 579, £ 499) alone or $ 1,388 (€ 1,429, £ 1,229) bundled with DJI Goggles 2 and DJI Motion Controller. You can also pick it up along with the DJI FPV Goggles V2 and the DJI Motion Controller for $ 1,168. A kit containing two batteries and a battery charging hub can be yours for $ 279.
