DJI Avata 2, Goggles 3 - Rumours, leaks, gossip and general discussion

Good source, but we will, see

Maybe stating the obvious but Integra Battery at the back and they flip up at that hinge so like night vision goggles. The padding on the front at the forehead seems to mean no gasket for the eyes… :thinking:

Avata 2 specs

The heart of the Avata 2 is its 1/1.3” CMOS sensor, capable of snapping still images up to 48MP. With a 155-degree field of view and an f/2.8 aperture, the camera promises unparalleled breadth and clarity in its captures. Video recording capabilities are equally impressive, supporting 4K and 2.7K formats at 60/100/120fps, and full HD at a range of slow-motion speeds up to 240fps, all in D-log M for professional-grade colour grading.

DJI has further enhanced the Avata 2’s appeal with the inclusion of its RockSteady 3.0+ electronic image stabilization technology, incorporating both HorizonSteady and HorizonBalancing features to ensure the smoothest video capture possible, regardless of flight dynamics.

In terms of design, the Avata 2 maintains a compact and efficient profile, weighing 485 grams and measuring 180x216x82mm, equipped with 3” propellers. Its intelligent flight battery boasts a capacity of 3400mAh, enabling a robust flight time of up to 27 minutes with the RC Motion 2 controller, and 12-15 minutes in manual mode, catering to both casual fliers and drone enthusiasts.

Goggles 3 specs

Alongside the Avata 2, DJI is set to release the Goggles 3, enhancing the immersive flight experience. These goggles, weighing 420 grams, offer a high-definition view of your drone’s flight with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 at a 100Hz refresh rate. The integration of DJI’s Ocusync 4 or O4 technology for video transmission ensures a seamless and lag-free viewing experience.

The Goggles 3 are not just about viewing; they can record in full HD at 60fps, allowing users to capture their flight experiences directly from their perspective. The device is powered by a 2450mAh battery, providing ample usage time, and features a diopter range of -8D to +2.0D to accommodate users with varying vision requirements.

A standout feature of the Goggles 3 is the inclusion of front-facing cameras, offering users the ability to see forward without removing the goggles, enhancing both safety and usability.

@SparkyFPV what do reckon the backwards compatibility will be?

Ocusync 4, so probably only compatible with the latest drones (Mini 4 etc)

The goggles may work with an O3 air unit but we will see

the mini 4 is compatible with the current avata goggles which are 03… so there is nothing to stop dji making them some degree of backward compatible… except money and the need to sell something new.

I think I’ll be giving it a pass… not one for chucking another £1300 - £1500 for what is essentially “almost” the same as the avata 1…

not sure i see the point in 2x camera’s looking forward… (for what?)

I know it looks balanced but what are they hoping for to replicate distance perception same as eyesight… I guess i’ll watch with interest and wait for the usual hard sell reviews

edit: 2x cameras answered here… depth perception:

I reckon the new goggles will work with the O3 (probably not OG/Vistas, maybe in time). I guess they’ll call them the goggles V1 or summit, just to annoy and confuse us. Surely if designed of Occusync 4 should be called the 4, I’d give em that! I also reckon the Goggles 2/Integras will work with the new Avata 2, and an O4 air unit if it comes out a few months after like the O3 did with the og avata.

When it comes to the drone, apparently they’ve made it fly properly (i.e. not just go out of control for the smallest of things), using standard 2 screw props, so standard FPV style 3 inch props (nice), and made the plastic weaker (oh well I’d give it a miss @SparkyFPV as it’ll spend more time with DJI than you if you get one) than the OG avata, but stronger than the FPV (then again what isn’t stronger than the og. FPV drone… Bots acrylc one I guess?!)

Off topic, but Also in the same video (about 1 hour 16 in) there’s a vista connected to a HDMI in, so you can use any standard 720/60 cameras with HDMI out with the DJI system… Nice. I actually like the idea of using a gopro as your FPV cam on larger planes. Maybe even multiple camera sources! A digital system with multi source input… hmmmm… Noice!

If you watch the video I just posted it’s just pass through (with FPV made smaller picture in picture), though done worse than the Meta 2 (which was pretty awful). I can’t believe that it can be that bad, and DJI need a kick up the arse if that’s the case. No AR as the processor not powerful enough for that in the goggles

Fake

Love that they used the leaked photos for the box. I’ll have 2 please

using the old motion controller on the LHS image,…

:wink:

Been tempted to think the FWD facing camera would removed the legal need for a spotter but now i’m not so sure as you supposed to have visual sight of the drone without using electronic aids. So, even though the camera can see it, as far as VLOS goes it doesn’t help??

Well they do say baked eye or corrective lenses (glasses) so… Through a feed of any sort don’t think gets around it. You’d never get the same FOV as using your eyes. Even will apples very good implementation of pass through with the vision pro it’s not perfect. Even amazed their latency slower than HDZeros over the air one heh
