DJI Avata

DJI is announcing the Avata, its first cinewhoop-style drone, starting at $629 for the drone itself or up to $1388 with a controller and the new DJI Goggles ...

The controllers refuse to charge over a C-to-C cable, DJI doesn’t ship a C-to-A cable or a single charger in the box, the FPV goggles use a proprietary cable, the drone buries its port underneath a propeller — I can go on. Today, DJI’s putting the Avata on sale in three different configurations: $629 for the drone itself, $1,168 with a pair of FPV goggles and the motion controller, and $1,388 with that controller and the new DJI Goggles 2. When I combine those goggles with the bundled motion controller, it lets me do things I would normally never do on my very first try with a drone — like fly up into the canopy of a tree to see a bird or underneath a volleyball net. the fact that DJI has some of the most annoying USB-C ports I’ve ever used. The DJI Avata is something special. The new Goggles 2 aren’t perfect — I saw some distortion at the edges, and the 51-degree field of view still means you’re looking at a virtual TV screen rather than being fully immersed in something akin to VR. And there’s also a little plastic snap-on cover for the lenses, which I greatly appreciate. I am noticing that my left eye is struggling to adjust to the screen. DJI won’t sell you a kit with one and couldn’t send us one in time for testing. But if the Avata is a cinewhoop, it’s not your average cinewhoop, either.

I pressed three power buttons, placed a drone on a table, pulled goggles over my eyes, and grabbed the pistol-shaped wand.

Purchasers of DJI's new Avata drone are seeing Golden Tickets for DJI Day 2022 showing up after buying. What are they?

So what is this Golden Ticket, and what is DJI Day 2022? According to DJI’s website, owning a Golden Ticket will give you “access to the exclusive benefits and unique experiences” for whatever DJI Day turns out to be. We’ve seen DJI Golden Tickets during other drone releases, but this one is for “DJI Day 2022.”

A standalone version of the Avata retails for $629 without a remote controller, motion controller or goggles. Like other DJI drones, Avata uses DJI’s GEO 2.0 geofencing system to advise pilots of airspace restrictions and potential hazards, and to automatically prevent the drone from flying near certain high-risk locations, such as airports. The wider field of view enables immersive aerial photography and videography at up to 4k/60fps, as well as slow-motion footage at 2.7K/100fps. The DJI Motion Controller allows the pilot to precisely fly complex maneuvers based on the natural motions of one hand. DJI Goggles 2 also offers a wireless streaming function to view the live feed from the operator’s mobile phone or computer on the goggles screen, bringing an immersive viewing experience. DJI Goggles 2 also features a clearer Micro-OLED screen with adjustable diopters, so people who normally wear glasses do not need to use them when operating the drone with the goggles. The Avata weighs only 410 grams and incorporates safety features, such as built-in aerodynamic propeller guards and a Turtle mode, which flips the drone upright in the case of an upside-down landing. “DJI Avata is breathtaking to fly for even a novice pilot.”
