I have an Avata 2 which I love using, I accepet the video quality is not up to my Mini3 Pro or Air2s. My understanding that most of this is down to the gimbal on the Avata having onle on axis of stabilization and the rest being provided by either Rock Steady ? or Gyro Flow. I’ve read that the Neo 2 now has 2 axis stabilization. Not withstanding sensor size will this give a marked improvement over the Avara2 ?
the camera on the avata 2 is the same as the mini 3 pro
I have made videos for YouTube in 4K which combine footage from the Mavic 3 Pro and Avata 2, and apart from the “FPV” aspect of the Avata footage, you would be hard pressed to pick out significant differences in quality even with the massive difference in sensor size between the two drones.
The stabilisation on the Avata 2 is good but not perfect, so you should leave it off and instead use Gyroflow afterwards so you can tweak the stabilisation output. It is very easy to search the web for the correct drone settings to be able to record video that is compatible with Gyroflow.
I find quite a difference, my question was really if the twin axis of the Neo 2 would significantly imrove the video to be better than the Avata 2. Like you I often combine footage from both.
I agree the sensor size is the same, but the Avata gimbal is only 1 axis (enhanced with either rock steady or Gyroflow )where the mini 3 p has three axis stabalisation.
If the Neo 2 has a 2 axis gimbal then how will you get that “FPV” effect in the footage? At that point, you might as well fly a Mini, no? If you’re flying the Avata how it’s intended (manual mode) then that’ll blow the Neo footage away purely through the FPV aspect. If you’re flying both of the drones in Normal/Sport or whatever the Neo equivalent is, then you’re not really getting FPV footage and you might as well just enable “FPV mode” on a Mini.
No one can seem to answer my question without changing it !
Whats wrong with the video quality on the Avata 2?
It’s not as good as a 3 axis Mini3 Pro, depends on software
Sorry I’m not with you
As in the quality of the image ? Or the stabilisation ?
They really are different beasts, remember most FPV drone have no gimbal at all , just a fixed camera.
It only has one axis for the attack angle change, which traditional FPV’ers have to adjust on a per flight basis
I think the quality of the image is compromised as it has to be corrected in software, so if the Neo 2 has a two axis gimbal, my question is would that improve the image quality as less software correction is required.
I would say then yes.
However as above
I fly my Avata 2 with the Goggles 3 and motion controller - is that not FPV or is flying it manual with the controller considered FPV ? My question remains is the video quality comparison. Another point I couldn’t use my goggles 3 and motion controller with my Mini3 Pro as the Goggles are oc4 and the mini oc3.
The purists would say ‘proper FPV’ is flying manual, but technically speaking even the NEO on a phone is FPV.
Just put the gimbal in ‘FPV’ mode is what I think the OP meant, I think you can do this on the 2S as well
I read yesterday somewhere that a software update for the goggles now provides oc3 compatibility.
I’ll post a link separately, as I need to check a couple of devices.

Bugger! It’s never straight forward is it?
