So it turned up today. Not had much time to play but did manage a quick hover in the garden. Suspect i need to look into settings but if I’m stool behind when I turn the controller left the Avata goes right :confused:

204

That doesn’t sound right🤔.

Have you calibrated the controller? Even so, it shouldn’t be behaving like that. :thinking:

Give it another go see if it happens again.

And I take it before launch the Avata was facing away from you?

Was the Drone/camera facing you :thinking:

206

No, was definitely facing away, going to the recalibrate today as that was the only thing I could think of that could have caused that behaviour.

I’m still on the fence, Avata or Mavic 3 Pro… :man_facepalming:

I’ve found charging a bit of a faff, well getting the right power supply to do it anyway.

Luckily I had a spare 65w laptop power supply, which does the Avata batteries and the Google’s 2, but it appears that you need a different one for the motion controller.

Anyone else suffer from motion sickness using the DJI simulator?

211

Yeh a bit, you get used to it.

If your using a simulator, give Liftoff a go, I found it a hell of a lot better than Dji virtual Sim. I have a blag copy, but I think you can get it for only 20 quid download :+1:

Liftoff, Velocidrone & DRL are all worth a go - although the dji sim is the only one I can get to work with goggles - you’d probably want to get used to Acro on a sim, before doing FPV in the wild!

Has anyone used any 3rd party antennas with Avata and V2 goggles? (not goggles2)

I’m looking for something that doesn’t need screwing/unscrewing - every time I fly!
Looking at iFlight Crystal or Lumenier Duality HD Stubbys - but not sure about compatibility with Avata.

Thanks for any suggestions. :smiley:

I managed to get a preowned copy from Music Magpie for £6.50 for PS4.

Copy of Liftoff that is :grin:

From what I can gather, after putting it in manual mode to check FCC is active you should revert to auto so it can choose the best channel and frequency available for the surrounding conditions
