I have seen people ask about how strong and robust the DJI Avata is. ( not just here but on Facebook groups too )
I have to say I am mega impressed with how strong this brick of a drone is.
My first attempt at manual mode, highlighted to me a few things - be smoother on the sticks - and the Avata is made of strong stuff.
A short clip of a bounce off the ground along with photos of the Avata after session of flying
I do know what went wrong here - I was not using the goggles at the time of this bounce - should have just kept my head in the goggles and fly.
Can only agreed, clipped a tree in sports mode at 30mph yesterday 40’ up…
The drone landed 50’ away from the tree in an open field, having shed 3 of the bumper guards! I can only think it landed edge on and cartwheeled over the grass for 25’ shedding 3 of the bumper guarrds as it went! Thankfully we found it and it had zero damage
yeah that was my issue here - I basically wanted to actually see it do a roll with my own eyes ( I think that’s what I was doing ) and was not sure of its orientation in the sky - I had done it a few times before without any issue.( with the goggles on ) So yeah now I keep the goggles on fully - flying is more fun than crashing haha
yup and the grass was nice and thick too - perfect for a soft crash haha - but hey in the FPV world its Send it big or go home haha ( I think that’s the rule )
Yeah, it’s odd not ever seeing your craft from the outside, but not worth risking removing your goggles for…
With my drones that’s not a problem as my son flies them as well.
With my planes nobody ever does and I don’t lend them out, so I’ve only ever seen my jet fly past with it’s fake-afterburner in a video I asked someone to take of it…
