Today, DJI, the leading name in civilian drone and camera technology innovation, unveiled the DJI Avata 2, enhancing the drone experience with a focus on safety, immersion, and improved functionality. The latest offering promises an exhilarating, straightforward flying adventure, highlighted by a fully immersive FPV (first-person view) experience, a high-quality sensor upgrade for superior image capture, and extended flight duration.
“Just under two years ago, we helped people embrace and explore the almost out-of-body experience of FPV flight,” said Ferdinand Wolf, Creative Director at DJI. “DJI Avata 2 builds on this by offering everyone the chance to fly like a pro with easy flips, rolls and drifts. We’re looking forward to giving users one of the best FPV experiences available with next to no effort needed on their part.”
The DJI Avata 2 has been crafted to seamlessly integrate with the newly launched DJI Goggles 3 and the DJI RC Motion 3, setting a new standard in user-friendly drone operation.
The DJI Goggles 3 redefine visual immersion and operational ease with their adjustable diopters and dual micro-OLED screens, which boast a 10-bit enhanced display capability. These goggles offer a refresh rate of up to 100Hz and feature ultra-low-latency video transmission. A novel addition is the binocular cameras that not only feed live imagery of the surroundings to the wearer but can also overlay this with the drone’s camera feed, ensuring unmatched situational awareness without the need to remove the goggles.

Simplified Acrobatics with DJI RC Motion 3
The integration of the DJI RC Motion 3 controller empowers novice pilots to effortlessly execute flips, drifts, and rolls, mastering complex aerial maneuvers with simplicity. Whether they’re ascending, plunging, or spiraling, capturing stunning aerial footage becomes straightforward with just a gentle nudge of the RC Motion 3’s joystick.
- One-Push Flip: Add fresh twists to the footage with 360-degree front/back flips.
- One-Push Roll: Give shots some mind-bending magic with 360 degree left/right roll.
- One-Push 180 Degree Drift: Achieve dramatic visual effects with high-speed lateral drifts spinning 180° past objects and pulling swiftly away.
Enhanced Visuals with a Superior Sensor
The Avata 2 marks a significant advancement in image capture, sporting a larger 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor within its Super-Wide-Angle 12MP Camera, outperforming its predecessor in dynamic range expansion and low-light performance. Its ultra-wide-angle lens, offering a 155° field of view, promises distinctive perspectives and snugger shots that set it apart from conventional drone imagery. The device supports immersive aerial photography and HDR videography at resolutions up to 4K/60fps and slow-motion videos at 2.7K/120fps. Thanks to the 10-bit D-Log M Color mode, the Avata 2 captures intricate details in both bright and dark areas, facilitating sophisticated color grading in post-production.
Stabilization Even in Dynamic Conditions
The Avata 2 ensures crisp and steady footage through advanced stabilization algorithms and DJI’s flagship stabilization technologies. DJI RockSteady minimizes vibrations during high-speed flights or in windy scenarios, while DJI HorizonSteady keeps footage horizontally aligned regardless of abrupt drone movements. Offsetting electronic image stabilization, the drone supports Gyroflow for enhanced post-production stabilization, and its lighter integrated propeller guard promotes agile movement in constrained spaces.
Advanced Safety Features
DJI enhances peace of mind for pilots with the Avata 2’s comprehensive safety measures. A simple press of the RC Motion 3 lock button immediately stops the drone, complemented by an automatic Return to Home feature for low battery or signal loss situations. New binocular fisheye sensors improve stability and safety for low-altitude or indoor flights. In case of a flip, the innovative Turtle mode rights the drone, readying it for takeoff once more.
Extended Flight Time for Longer Adventures
The DJI Avata 2 boasts an impressive flight time of up to 23 minutes and supports PD fast charging for quick turnaround. Its Two-Way Charging Hub uniquely redistributes power among batteries, ensuring an extended flight experience. The drone’s O4 video transmission system guarantees a maximum 13 km range, minimal latency, HD image quality, and strong anti-interference capabilities, allowing pilots to focus on the flight.
Easier Content Sharing and Editing
DJI has made sharing the thrill of FPV flights more accessible. Live feeds from the Avata 2 to the DJI Goggles 3 can be streamed on the DJI Fly App and shared with devices nearby or via cable to other goggles. With 46GB of internal storage for extensive video capture and Wi-Fi connectivity for swift transfers, post-flight editing and sharing are seamless. The LightCut app’s One-Tap Edit feature further simplifies creating polished videos directly from the drone.
Experience Avata 2 Virtually
Prospective users can test the Avata 2 through a virtual flight experience available on the DJI Store app, offering a hands-on preview without the commitment. Moreover, the launch of the DJI Goggles 3 and RC Motion 3 extends compatibility to other drones like the Air 3 and Mini 4 Pro, enhancing the versatility of DJI’s latest innovations.
