    Gyroflow comment for those new to the program

    If you fly an Avata and are not familiar with Gyroflow do a quick search here and learn about it. I'm not connected with the company in any way but I did several flights with my Avata yesterday and realized that at this point I always fly with No Steady and Wide set on my Avata (required for the...

    Avata vs Mini 3 pro

    Normally you just pair the drone and controller. Turn both on, hold the drone “on” button for four seconds and it beeps. Hold the controller button four seconds (or so) and it will beep and they should pair. You may get a warning on the screen to bind or unbind the previous controller but you...

    DJI Assistant 2 on an M1 Mac running Ventura

    It works fine for my Avata, Mavic 3, Goggles2, Motion Controller 2 and it works for my original FPV Goggles. I am using DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drones Series) which I believe is the correct version for us to use. With the FPV controller it goes past the large circle and shows the DJI RC-M1...

    Motion controller 2 disappointment

    My bad for not realizing it would not work with my FPV. OK. I was excited about being able to sideslip but it is sooo verrrry slow when sideslipping as to be meaningless and it doesn't appear that there is any gain function to change that. I'll have to look into it more but without...

    So Is this a good FPV Drone combo or what? DJI Original FPV Combo.

    Can't talk about cinewoop stuff as I don't fly that but I have to say the FPV can be a hoot and a half. It was blowing 20-30 today so I got out my FPV just to fly a bit and zooming through the sky at 60mph is just exhilarating. I ordered the new motion controller and I think that alone will be a...

    My First Major Flight Around My Home and Garden

    Looks to me like you must have done a lot of flying before any editing. You are very smooth and steady. Very well done. As to how to improve, two thing come to mind. You might experiment with Gyroflow. You can fly without any steady (required for GF) and then in post decide if you want some very...

    Avata - Processor heats up and Avata shuts itself down!

    It’s a weight saving thing. You can second guess the engineering if you want but my simple solution was to buy a small fan. Cheap and effective.

    Sorry can't help myself, The Avata and the spider’s web.

    Hah! well done. I saw a spider web a couple of years ago. Don't see many of them. Glad you didn't run into it! Where is this? Not near me, that's for sure!

    FAA vs Los Angeles?

    You ask "What's your point?" of the OP. Do you not read? The point was to ask a question, not to make a point. I respond with what to me is a reasonable comment and you say "get a life and go fly". Was there some reason for that needlessly rude reply? Fake news? How is the question by the OP...

    FAA vs Los Angeles?

    I'm just speaking in generalities but in terms of drones there have been municipalities that have enacted "no drone" laws that have prevented people from flying here or there in spite of the fact that they can't do so given the FAA control of the air. I've read more than one account of drone...

    This is how good Gyroflow is!

    Another important point is that by using GF you can make multiple "takes", some with horizon steady, some less steady and if you want, a version with no steady. Editing them together can provide variations on a theme. Creating the steady versions is time consuming and it's important to note that...

    FAA vs Los Angeles?

    A lot of municipalities make laws that try to supersede a federal law. It rarely works. When local laws and fed laws conflict the local law is most often struck down. The problem comes when you are arrested or fined for such a local law. It's often cheaper (by far) to pay than hire a lawyer and...

    DJI Avata VS FPV

    I have both and rarely use the FPV now. flying through forests and between branches and through this and that is so much fun. My photog and video work is done primarily with my Mav3 but flying around with goggles is so much fun and the Avata adds to it with the ability to brush against a tree...
