Buy a drone and choose DJI, and you can also choose DJI if you buy interesting "toys". In 2022, DJI opened up a new drone product line called DJI Avata. At the beginning of April this year, DJI Avata 2 officially unveiled to users, which is a fully upgraded drone with a propeller protection system that can be operated from scratch. In addition, DJI Avata 2 also introduces the "One-Click Fly" feature that allows users to complete cool flight operations from scratch. So is DJI Avata 2 fun? Is it worth 5988 yuan to buy a Changfei suit? Let's take a look.
This article is divided into three parts, the first is to introduce what DJI Avata 2 has been upgraded, the second is to introduce what is "One Click Flower Fly", and finally tell you whether it is fun and whether it is worth it.
Part 1: What has DJI Avata 2 upgraded?
DJI Avata 2's aircraft, battery, configuration, traversal stick, and goggles have all been upgraded.
DJI Avata 2 飞行器
The DJI Avata 2 aircraft itself is generally the same as the first generation, but the details are more obvious. First of all, the aircraft is still designed with its own propeller protection, so the safety is greatly improved.
The blades have been upgraded from five blades to three, and the blades also have a more obvious curvature. Due to the optimization of the detailed design, DJI Avata 2's flight noise has been reduced, and the current flight noise is about 81dB, which is comparable to DJI Air 3.
In addition, the standard self-help method of this series: anti-turtle mode is still retained. If you fall to the ground in a stomach-up posture and it is inconvenient for people to walk near the position of the drone, you can use the Anti-Turtle mode to let DJI Avata 2 save itself. Once you've flipped over, you're ready to take off again.
In terms of imaging system, the upgrade is more obvious. DJI Avata 2 features a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor design that supports up to 4K 60P HDR video specifications, supports 10-bit D-Log M color mode, and still provides an ultra-wide-angle flight field of view of 155°. The stabilization part is divided into two types: super stabilization and horizon stabilization, and users can choose according to their own needs.

In the video above, we can directly watch DJI Avata 2's image shooting performance, one-click splash performance, and different stabilization effects.
The obstacle avoidance lens has been partially changed to a fisheye vision camera, which takes into account both downward and rear vision (the previous generation only had a downward view). Because there is a 180° drift option in the newly added one-button flower fly function, there will be an inverted flight action at the end of this preset action, so it is very necessary to avoid rear vision obstacles, so that the drone can complete the flower fly action more safely.
In terms of battery life, DJI Avata 2 has improved to its current maximum performance of 23 minutes. The two-way charging hub also supports fast charging and can be used as a power bank in daily life. At the same time, DJI Avata 2's body storage space has also increased a lot, increasing to 46GB capacity.
2. DJI Goggles 3
DJI Goggles 3 is a new product released with DJI Avata 2. DJI Goggles 3 is equipped with the DJI O4 video transmission system, which supports a maximum video transmission distance of 13 kilometers and a maximum video transmission bitrate of 60Mbps.
The DJI Goggles 3 is a bit heavier than the previous generation, and the battery is designed inside the glasses this time, in the device that tightens the headband at the back of the head, so there is no more cumbersomeness and the battery life is long enough. DJI Goggles 3 has added an integrated forehead rest for a more comfortable fit and can distribute the wearing pressure.
The DJI Goggles 3 retains the IPD adjustment and diopter adjustment functions of the previous generation Goggles. The user can change the lens spacing by moving the knob left and right. The user can adjust the diopter by the rotation of the knob so that we don't need to wear our own glasses alone. The default diopter adjustment lens on DJI Goggles 3 supports diopter adjustment from 200 degrees for farsightedness to 600 degrees for myopia, and there are additional lenses in the accessory for users with myopia from 0 to 800 degrees.
DJI Goggles 3 adds a Live View feature that can be turned on or off by double-tapping the side of the camera. After it is turned on, we can see the real-life picture from the front camera of DJI Goggles 3, and we can view the scenery status in front of the user. When turned off, users can watch the DJI Avata 2 video transmission screen immersively. With this feature, we can better observe the position of the aircraft and the real environment around it, and we don't have to take off the DJI Goggles 3.
In addition, we can also share the video transmission screen directly to the smartphone through Wi-Fi, so that the friends around you can also see the flight screen you watch in real time, and there is no need to be tied by cables.
3. DJI Crossing Joystick 3
The DJI Crossing Stick 3 is much smaller than the previous generation, but it still provides a somatosensory operation mode, which allows users to control DJI Avata 2 for flying and shooting with a simple button and wrist turn.
During DJI Avata 2 flight, there will be a "white circle" in the middle of the video transmission interface, commonly known as a small white dot. We can control the aircraft by dynamically controlling the direction of the small white dot through the DJI Crossing Joystick 3. To put it bluntly, DJI Avata 2 will fly in the direction of the small white dot wherever it changes, and then the flight speed can be controlled by the accelerator trigger.
DJI Crossing Stick 3 adds a virtual laser pointer feature. The virtual laser pointer is actually a laser pointer that turns the DJI Joystick 3 into a laser pointer that adjusts menus and function settings, pointing to which one to choose, and with other buttons on the DJI Joystick 3, you can change menus and function settings. This new feature is a good experience, because after we wear glasses, this new feature can allow users to experience a simpler, more intuitive operation mode and get started faster.
2. What is the one-key flower fly function?
In the past, users wanted to realize the operation of Huafei through the drone, and they needed to practice for a long time to reach the Pro level before they could easily operate, and they also needed to perform complex operations through the FPV remote control. For newbies, it's almost impossible to experience it. DJI Avata 2's one-click flower fly function, to put it bluntly, allows even users who are in contact with flying drones for the first time to achieve flower flying, and it is just a click, and the user does not need to operate it themselves. This way, users can get a cooler picture.

The one-key flower fly function includes three actions, one-key flip, one-key side flip and one-key 180° drift. Through the above video, we can see the operation of the three actions, the status of the aircraft and the animation screen presented after the function is turned on. If you want to implement these actions by yourself, you need to practice for a long time, and it is inevitable that you will blow up the machine due to mistakes during the period. Now you only need to turn on the function simply, you can easily complete the shooting of Huafei by yourself, bring yourself a more exciting experience, and shoot more exciting video images.
Part 3: Is DJI Avata 2 fun? Is it worth it?
And that's the end of our introductory part. To answer the initial question directly, DJI Avata 2 is very fun, because it has a completely different experience from drones such as DJI Mini series, Air series, and Mavic 3 series. Summing up the experience in one word, it is cool, and it is really fun. If you have the opportunity to experience it, be sure to experience it for yourself, this may be the coolest "toy" you have experienced recently.
The second question is whether it's worth it. It seems that the price of DJI Avata 2 Fly Combo starts at 5988 yuan, does it feel very expensive, but it is actually not expensive. Because compared to ordinary drones, DJI Avata 2's playability, control and experience are completely different, and the safety is also very high, as long as you are a novice and don't directly imitate the flight path of professionals, then it is completely fine, and it will hardly blow up. Nowadays, people often need tens of thousands of dollars to buy a mobile phone, and tens of thousands of yuan to buy a camera, do you think DJI Avata 2 is still expensive?
