DJI AVATA 3.5' Upgrade - 'AMAZING' - Don't do it.

Follow
Siemore Pekker

The DJI Avata is an interesting Drone. It is DJI's second iteration of an FPV drone that was widely acclaimed as one of the most beginner friendly FPV Drone ever to be released.
And they are right.
But, from a serious FPV standpoint, the Drone lacks some serious power.
And there is no point denying that.
Regardless, the Drone offers many handy features, such as the whole array of automatic safety features like landing, return to home and homepoint indicator.
Also, the ease of use when it comes to the Batteries is simply unparalleled compared to other FPV drones.
But, this all still leaves the Avata being a super noisy and unreliable drone, that many "real" FPV pilots can only laugh about.
Luckily there is an inbetween option, combining both the reliability of DJI with the tinkering of the FPV Drone world, which is the Axis Flying 3.5" Upgrade Kit.
I did this to my drone and have some thoughts after using it for a few months. It's an incredible upgrade that Axis Flying provided, yet there is some serious drawbacks to the build and I am going to get into it. From the good to the bad and over to the ugly.
I hope you can learn something from this video! Cheers :)
