I don't yet own the Avata 2 yet, but I have been flying the original Avata for a year with the Motion controller. Flying with the motion controller is easy to learn. For flying inside of barns and attics where GPS is blocked and no available lighting, I use these lights from Fire House...

Pygar70 suggestion on the GPS is good advice. My add to this is to keep moving as you go under the bridge do not fly slow as if you are inspecting the bottom of the bridge. I have flown under several one lane metal bridges at a height of less than 6 feet from the water with good GPS and not had...

Did you add after marked gimble guards to your Avata? I don't have a gimble guard on my Avata but I see the prop guards when I look steeply down with the camera. For still pictures I use one of my camera drones.

Be careful over water. The Avata has been known for loss of control over water with marginal GPS signal. There are videos on YouTube about this. When this happens, it has nothing to do with the signal strength between the controller and the drone. I have ended up in the pond below a waterfall...

This is true. I have found the Avata downward sensors are more sensitive that the other DJI drones I use. The Avata appears to want to follow the flow of the water. I have flown over running water 2 feet about the surface of the water without issue as long as I keep my forward speed of the...

I was using the MC2. I also have a Mini 3 Pro with the DJI RC and fly over water without any issue. The Mini 3 will hold position over the water without any issues. I should try the Mini 3 Pro with the RC2 and googles and see how it does over water. I have observed the same issues with the...

Loss of control over water I was flying over the water when the drone started going backward and I could not control the drone to make it stop going backward. I slowed the video down to 10% to see what happened. I tried to pull out of the stall by increasing the speed with the motion controller...

Totally cool.

I enjoyed your video. Verry Nice.

I am using the motion controller 2 to fly the Avata and I don't believe I can get to manual mode with the controller.

I have the Avata. I have found it has stability issues over water especially if you have a week GPS signal and you are lower than 6 feet over moving water. Just my thoughts it seems like the lower vision sensor and the GPS are fighting with each other to control the position of the drone and...

Does it call for a firmware update on the Avata and the batteries when you power the drone up?
