Head Tracking with the DJI Avata FPV Drone - And Some Other Fun Stuff

I always have so much fun either flying around my First Person View DJI Avata Drone getting that feeling of actually flying, or getting a similar feeling riding my KingSong S22 EUC on trails and in traffic. I know it is a lot different watching versus doing but hopefully this video gives you a bit of an idea on how that feels. Special thanks to my HoverAir X1 Flying Camera Drone and the Ray-Ban Meta Camera Glasses for capturing what it looks like riding an EUC (Electric Unicycle) from different perspectives.

When flying my DJI Avata FPV Drone, I was using head tracking with the motion controller which allows me to control the flight path using the motion controller, while at the same time being able to look around in various directions while still flying which ever direction the motion controller was pointing towards. It does take a bit of practice as at fist it feels like you should be going where you are looking, but this is not the case. This setup allows for more of a "manual controller" look to the video as you can circle an object and center it much better in the camera view than using the motion controller on its own.

DJI Avata Stuck in a Tree

I have been enjoying getting my DJI Avata out for some quick fly time around the yard. This time I got a bit sloppy and flew my DJI Avata into a tree branch where it got hung up for a bit, but lucky for me it somehow stayed upright and managed to free itself so I could finish my quick fun flight around the yard.

I am supper impressed with how durable this little FPV Action Drone is. Once I get a little bit more practice time around the yard, I will be sure to get out and investigate some new territories and share my video adventure with everyone :)

DJI Avata Flying Around Property Taking a Few Branches to the Face

It's been awhile since I flew my DJI Avata FPV Drone around the house. DJI sometimes makes it difficult to fly in certain areas and my place is close enough to an Airport that my DJI Avata complains and restricts my ability to fly. I am not sure what changed but all of a sudden I am now again able to fly in my area as long as I accept responsibility for flying in a semi restricted area. I really do not go very high or even close to where an airplane may fly over, but I understand making sure I am aware of any hazards to my DJI Avata Drone or an airplane.

After a few laps around the yard it all started to come back to me, and now that I can fly again, I will for sure be stretching my FPV wings or or should I say blades. I hope to really start to get good at flying this super fun mini Jet Fighter and share even riskier flying with everyone! Enjoy some close calls while I blast through some small branches and almost get hit by a truck (My Bad). I can say without a doubt that the DJI Avata FPV Drone is really built strong as I have nailed some branches hard and taken a few tumbles, and after that, this little guy doesn't even have a scratch on it, just had to clean off some dirt.

DJI Avata FPV Drone - Like Flying a Mini Jet Fighter

First off did I need the DJI Avata FPV Drone? No I did not. Did the sale price influence my purchase? Maybe a little bit. Either way I now have one more resource I can draw on to make interesting content and in terms of adventure video the DJI Avata will for sure capture it in a very dynamic way.

The DJI Avata FPV Drone is also incredibly fun to fly as you use goggles to fly it so it feels like you are literally on board the Avata while it swoops and turns and goes just about anywhere at rocket like speeds.

One huge bonus is I can get a similar adrenaline rush as I do while I ride my PEV's, but with zero bodily risk to myself if I where to crash. If I crashed on one of my PEV's, more than likely both myself and the PEV would be damaged in some way for sure. The DJI Avata FPV Drone is built like a tank and can take some pretty decent tumbles and impacts without getting damaged.

In terms of getting adventure content, the DJI Avata FPV Drone can capture traditional cinematic drone video but has the advantage of flying super low to the ground, between extremely narrow gaps and with that First Person View giving the audience the feeling like they are in the action. Something a normal drone can not do! The DJI Avata also records in 4k at 60 frames per second so the quality is up there for sure.

In this video I do an unboxing and take a look at what you get in the packaging. I also take it outside and capture some of my initial flights and crashes.
