DJI recently introduced the DJI Avata, a new drone that offers an unparalleled experience of immersive flight. It creates a first-person view (FPV) drone flight that allows you to race the skies and feel its performance, agility, and easy control.
Coupled with the DJI Goggles 2 and the DJI Motion Controller, the new drone delivers the ultimate drone experience.
“DJI Avata was built to awaken a desire to fly in everyone, with immersive flight technology that allows anyone to explore the almost out-of-body experience of FPV flight. DJI Avata is breathtaking to fly for even a novice pilot, and includes enhanced safety features that give anyone the freedom to try creative aerial moves. Paired with the DJI Goggles 2 and the DJI Motion Controller, DJI Avata seems to ride with the wind. Whether you fly for the fun of it, to make great clips for social media, or to dazzle viewers in the production studio, DJI Avata will show you why its engrossing flight experience pulls you into a new world of soaring possibilities.”
Ferdinand Wolf, DJI Creative Director
It opens new creative directions for beginners and professionals alike. It has a compact design that strips down the chassis of a traditional drone into a body built for speed and agility. It also weighs in at only 410g while integrating aerodynamic propeller guards for added safety.
The drone is equipped with a 1/1.7-inch CMOS sensor and is capable of capturing 4K/60fps or 2.7K/50/60/100/120fps video. It is also equipped with a D-Cinelike color mode that allows a broad color palette that enables detailed chromatic adjustments.
Meanwhile, during high-pressure aerial maneuvers, the DJI Avata keeps the video sharp and stable with two flagship stabilization technologies. DJI RockSteady eliminates overall picture shake and DJI HorizonSteady keeps the picture-oriented toward true level.
The new drone has 20GB of internal storage space and a microSD slot of up to 256GB. Additionally, it is said to offer a flight time of up to 18 minutes.
The drone’s flight technology means it can hover like a traditional drone, accelerate like a racer, zoom in and out of tight spaces, and stop in a fraction of a second. If pushed to the limit and lands upside down, the drone has a new Turtle mode that allows it to flip back up and take off again.
The DJI Avata is designed to be paired with the DJI Goggles 2 and the DJI Motion Controller for an even more immersive experience.
