After several leaks and many rumors, the time has finally come - DJI&s new FPV drone, the Avata 2, has officially launched. It&s been almost two years since the first version of the Avata hit the market. Unlike DJI&s classic drones, the Avata is controlled by the pilot in an immersive first-person view using the integrated camera and goggles.
Another welcome improvement is the internal storage for video recording, which is now more than double the size - it&s 46 GB instead of just 20 GB previously, enough for around 90 minutes of 1080p/60fps video material. Thanks to the new battery with a capacity of 3,400 mAh (up from 2,420 mAh), the Avata 2 can now stay in the air for 23 minutes, 5 minutes longer than the old Avata, and charging should now be faster with PD Fast Charge. The Ocusync video transmission system has also been upgraded: using DJI O4, it can now transmit 1080p/100fps video at up to 60 Mbps (previously 50 Mbps) with a transmission latency of just 24 ms to the goggles - at a distance of up to 13 km (previously 10 km). Flight safety has been improved with a new rear-positioned sensor and the ability to bring the drone to a halt by pressing the lock button on the RC Motion 3 controller. Additionally, the automatic return to the start point is now triggered when the drone&s battery is low or the signal is interrupted. Stabilization also via Gyroflow DJI uses two techniques already known from its other drones to stabilize the image: RockSteady prevents the image from shaking even at high flight speeds or in windy conditions, and HorizonSteady ensures that the captured image stays level with the horizon, even when the drone turns sharply or sways heavily. If the EIS function is turned off, the Avata 2 also supports the free Gyroflow tool, which can further stabilize recordings in post-processing based on the recorded motion sensor data. DJI Goggles 3 with Integrated Camera The new DJI Goggles 3 feature adjustable diopters, two micro-OLED screens that support enhanced 10-bit display with a refresh rate of up to 100 Hz, and transmission with extremely low latency (24 ms). New are the two integrated binocular cameras, which display the surroundings on the screen - simultaneously overlaid with the FPV live feed. DJI calls this Real View PiP (Picture-In-Picture) technology. Without having to remove the goggles, pilots can see where they are and be aware of their surroundings even with the goggles on. DJI RC Motion 3 By controlling with the DJI RC Motion 3 controller, users can intuitively steer the Avata 2 with hand movements, performing flips, rolls, and drifts, as well as other difficult acrobatic flight maneuvers. Flips at the push of a button: 360-degree flips forward and backward Rolls at the push of a button: 360-degree roll left and right 180° Drift at the push of a button: Quick lateral drifts that rotate 180° past objects and quickly pull away Compatibility For existing users looking to save money, it&s of course interesting whether the new models are compatible with the old ones. Unfortunately, the Avata 2 can - for now - work with the Goggles Integra, Goggles 2, RC Motion 2, and the FPV Remote Controller 2. The new DJI Goggles 3 can be used with the Air 3 and Mini 4 Pro drones and the old RC 2 and RC-N2 controllers to control the drone. Prices and Packages As always, DJI offers the new drone in several packages. The DJI Avata 2 Fly More Combo costs 999 euros and includes the DJI Avata 2 with a battery, the DJI Goggles 3, and the DJI RC Motion 3 controller. The DJI Avata 2 Fly More Combo costs 1,199 euros and includes the DJI Avata 2 with three batteries, the DJI Goggles 3, the DJI RC Motion 3, a two-way charging and a carrying case. The DJI FPV Remote Control 3 costs 149 euros, and the DJI Avata 2 ND Filter Set costs 69 euros. Bilder zur Newsmeldung:
