I flew the DJI Avata 2 for an entire month — here's what I wish I knew beforehand

DJI Avata 2.

The past month, I’ve exclusively flown the DJI Avata 2, and it’s been an exhilarating introduction to FPV flying. That said, there are things that surprised me from hours of testing this drone in all sorts of settings.

I’ve been using drones professionally for over 6 years now, and honestly, they became boring a long time ago. But as my first FPV drone, the Avata 2 has been an eye-opening experience. It’s fast, acrobatic, and makes me feel like I’m soaring. Compared to even the most expensive drones I’ve tested, the Avata 2 is noticeably more nimble and responsive, and can reach a top speed of 60 mph in Manual mode, which is great for thrill-seekers, but definitely something you have to work your way up to.
