DJI FPV vs DJI Avata in 2023 - Still Worth it ?!

The fpv is meant to be a raw flying experience at high speed. The camera quality is a secondary consideration.

This video has a focus on video recording. You shouldn’t buy either of these if you want to make videos for whatever reason you do.. these are not your typical camera drone, the speed is way too fast, the battery life is way too short compared to a real camera drone like the air 2s.. now.. at the same time these are not “racing drones” in the sense if you look into what a racing drone is… your not going to be at the flight course racing others that have a baby ape or whatever.. to me, these 2 drones are in their own class as they don’t fit the bill for either a camera or racing drone. They can do a little both.. why in the hell would u put a go pro on top of either of these? Waste of time,, take the money u would on the gopro and buy a different drone 🤔 I did not expect to hear about all the pros and cons mainly about the damn video recording lol … I mean seriously if you are making a video talking about if they are still worth it and you are complaining of the battery life because you have to spend the extra time to install it on the drone and also the bad battery life you get with a loaded down drone, you are in the wrong hobby. Maybe bowling is betting suited for you! Grab that GoPro and strap it to your bowling hat but please, don’t make a video complaining how heavy it is on your head and that it affects your bowling skills 😂 Lordy
Just my opinion that is all.. cheers!

Can’t get more biased than this

Very good comparison. I'm willing to buy my first drone but everything was confusing between these two but now I can clearly decide which one I want.

just saying... m DJI FPV drone lasts bout 18 minutes per battery x3 batteries

i lost my Avata on a volcano when i turned too hard. tumble of death avata sucks

Is there a drone which can used with goggles and remote with screen ?

I have a avata and setting it up takes a fat minute. Have to power everything up then plug the cables to the goggles. Having to connect the battery and cable from phone to goggles is the biggest draw back for me. Other than that the AVATA is dope. And yes i do know the goggles integra eliminates these cables but il also lose some stuff the goggles 2 has

Congratulations for the video; good job!

from the start of the video I thaught you were filming on Gran Canaria, now at the end, I know it because i were there on Roque Nublo. Anyway i took my Mavic 3 on a ride there..

Thank you for your content. I have one question. do you know any simulator that can use DJI RC motion 2? I'm just starting out and this is an important question for me

i was doubting my avata, but it's been nothing short of amazing. and i've been flying drones since 2010 - ish.., when dji was called naza. i flew helis and planes long before...but so crazy the progression.

Just fly the thing. For video or camera functions, i use my dji mavic. The fpv is for ripping fun. That's why you can't pan the camera.

Bad comparison. This should be about which flys as an first person vehicle. Not a high cenima movie unit. Thank you though.

I want to film rally cars, would the Avata be fast enough?

lol after listening to it, I feel like your conclusion is: Buy Both 😅

Talking about the DJI FPV carrying a lot of weight.. I don't know how to respond to you as a phantom 4 pro user...

The fpv isnt designed as a photog platform. The fpv is meant for FPV not media. This guys review is very biased.

I thought firmware solved the turn drop issue with Avata. Right?

I think it's best to have both and if you already have the first one you can get just the Avata drone & batteries to cut down on costs. Also the goggles you can use in DIY builds for risky flights when a crash is cheaper to fix, DIY builds you choose/make your parts and can make them stronger and goggles v2 seem most compatible right now, pity DJI does not make latest stuff backward compatible at least not straight away.

I would get Avata but I heard that noise coming from that one is particularly bad. Is that true? Is FPV any better?

Also, if I understand correctly, you are implying that camera that comes with Avata is better than FPV? How much does mounting a go pro on top of FPV impacts it's flight time? Thank you.

Awesome video, great review! Im ❤ing the new Avata. I just did my first HD indoor flight and it was amazing. I posted it on my channel if you want to check it out. 👍 from Pittsburgh 😊

You can go to settings and there’s a setting where you delete the propellers out of the image 😂

Use my avata for tight, low wind shots, while i use my fpv for days with more wind or i need to chase something thats going faster

Great video,, so when using the v2 Goggles do u have to plug in a phone to fly the dji avatar

FPV still worth it. Avata as well, but I will probably get something else as my second O3 quad. If you are looking for a digital entry point, I recommend you to get either one, does not matter much, if you get a complete one. I got the FPV because it was a better money deal for me. Now I can get just the Avata chepaer if I want to. Then after you have the base, get the other one (it is way cheaper). You can also get many other options with O3 compatibility. It becomes easy. But both are awesome as an entry point. =) To my surprise, the other ones are not cheap as well, and they don't offer GPS failsafe, so they're not that awesome as people have been saying. So, don't hear people who say this or that against, that is bullshit. They are rock solid, high quality drones. I had many FPV quads before, I am not a beginner, and I am telling you, it's worth the money.

The go pro on fpv can block the signal.
Been addressed from a few channels now.

They looks pretty good ! Now if I only I had one and could bring to the Philippines when I go next month 📸🇵🇭

Did you use the new googles on the DJI FPV, because I want to buy the DJI FPV with the Integra Goggles.

Great Drone Videos, it really helps a lot especially for beginners like me
