I love Whoop-style drones and flying FPV, and this morning, I was ready to purchase the new DJI AVATA 2, but when I saw the total price of the combo pack with an additional DJI FPV Remote Controller 3, I canceled my order. I found paying $1,497 for a drone that can fit in your palm a bit exaggerated. Another thing that stopped me from pulling the trigger was that Caddx and iFlight showed a teaser photo of a similar product that hopefully will be cheaper on their social media accounts.

The AVATA 2 is DJI’s third FPV drone and the second Whoop-style drone with a 360-degree blade protector. With the AVATA2, DJI also released a new FPV headset, simply named Goggles 3, and two new radios, the Motion RC 3 and the FPV Remote Controller 3.

Featuring DJI’s newest Ocusyinc 4.0 transmission system, the AVATA 2 has a flight range of up to 13 km in FCC mode and 10 KM in CE mode (Europe). Its 3s 2150 mAh intelligent flight battery provides around 23 minutes of flight time.

The DJI AVATA 2 adopts a 360-degree blade protector, measures 185×212×64 mm, and weighs about 380 grams. Being over 250g can’t be flown over or closer than 50m to ‘uninvolved people’ or within 150m of residential, recreational, commercial, or industrial sites in most countries, including the UK. The second-generation DJI Whoop is slightly bigger than its predecessor, which ensures better stability and wind resistance. Despite its larger size, it is still 40g lighter than the original Avata.

Avata Two’s upgraded camera sits on a one-axis gimbal that allows for a steady view in flight and remote angle adjustment (-85° to 80°). The new camera features a bigger 1/1.3 sensor and a more powerful processing engine. It can capture 4K@60fps or 2.7k@120fps videos with up to 130 Mbps. The camera supports RockSteady 3.0+, HorizonSteady stabilizations, and D-Log M color mode.
