DJI has announced the Avata 2, Goggles 3, and RC Motion 3. DJI claims that the Alta 2 boasts an all thrills, no frills experience and that users can enjoy safer, fully immersive enhanced FPV flight experience. The Avatar 3 features an upgraded sensor to improve image quality and increased flight time.
DJI Avata 2 was designed to be paired with the new DJI Goggles 3 and DJI RC Motion 3. The DJI Goggles 3 feature adjustable diopters, two micro-OLED screens that support the 10-bit enhanced display, with an up-to-100Hz refresh rate and ultra-low-latency transmission. Equipped with binocular cameras that present the surrounding environment, which can also be superimposed with the live feed from the aircraft at the same time, pilots are given effortless situational awareness without needing to remove the goggles. This Real View PiP (Picture-In-Picture) technology is claimed to enhance both the immersive experience and safety.
Easy ACRO with the DJI RC Motion 3
By combining with the DJI RC Motion 3, new pilots are given the power to flip, drift and roll, performing difficult aerial acrobatics with ease. Whether soaring, diving or rolling, epic footage can be captured with a simple push on the RC Motion 3 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.
Improved Image Quality
Featuring a bigger image sensor than its predecessor, the Avata 2’s 1/1.3-inch CMOS Super-Wide-Angle 12MP Camera expands the dynamic range available and handles low-light conditions with greater effect. Its ultra-wide-angle lens with a viewing angle of up to 155° enables unique perspectives and really tight shots, differentiating them from traditional camera drone footage. The camera provides immersive aerial photography and HDR videography at up to 4K/60fps, as well as slow-motion footage at 2.7K/120fps. Equipped with 10-bit D-Log M Color mode, DJI Avata 2 enables rich detail in highlights and shadows to be captured, brought out in post-production and streamlined color grading.
Even during high-pressure aerial maneuvers, DJI Avata 2 keeps your video sharp and stable with a powerful stabilization algorithm and two DJI flagship stabilization technologies. DJI RockSteady eliminates overall picture shake even while flying at high speeds or in windy conditions, and DJI HorizonSteady ensures the captured footage remains locked on the horizon even if the drone turns sharply or sways dramatically. Furthermore, when the EIS setting is off, Avata 2 supports Gyroflow so that footage can be further stabilized in post-production.
Safety
Avata 2’s updated integrated propeller guard is lighter, enabling more agile and freer navigation in tight spaces. Users are offered further peace of mind and the ability to handle unexpected situations calmly with just one press of the RC Motion 3 lock button bringing the drone to a halt. In addition, the automatic Return to Home (RTH) function is initiated when the drone’s battery is low or in case of signal loss, adding an extra layer of security.
Low-altitude or indoor flights can now be performed with new binocular fisheye sensors enhancing flight stability and safety. In the event that the user lands the drone on its back, they can get airborne again quickly by using Turtle mode. When activated, ‘Turtle mode’ can automatically flip the drone back into takeoff position when upside down.
Longer Flight Time
The Avata 2 boasts a maximum flight time of 23 minutes and supports PD fast charging, so that it can be recharged and back up in the sky as quickly as possible. Furthermore, the new Two-Way Charging Hub features a power accumulation function, allowing the transfer of remaining power from multiple batteries to the one with the highest charge level, supplying an “extra battery” in critical moments.
A new O4 video transmission offers up to 13 km of maximum video transmission distance, a transmission latency as low as 24 ms, 1080p/100fps high-definition image quality, and a maximum transmission bitrate of 60Mbps. Its two-transmitter, four-receiver, four-antenna design ensures strong anti-interference performance and lets pilots fully focus on their flights without additional concerns.
Sharing
The DJI Goggles 3 live feed from Avata 2 can be viewed on the DJI Fly app and transmitted to another device up to 5m away. Additionally, a cable can be used to share the live feed to a display or to different Goggles 3 headsets via the ‘Audience mode’.
Capture & Edit
Avata 2 comes equipped with 46GB internal storage, capable of storing approximately 90 minutes of 1080p/60fps video, ensuring the best parts of each flight can be captured. Wi-Fi connectivity enables fast file transfer to smartphones, post-editing and sharing of finished work, highly efficient.
One-Tap Editing with LightCut
When DJI Avata 2 is connected via Wi-Fi to the LightCut app, Footage can be edited directly without requiring it to be downloaded to the app.
Increased Compatibility
The new DJI Goggles 3 and RC Motion 3 are also available for Air 3 and Mini 4 Pro. Pilots with Goggles 3 can also use their existing traditional controllers, such as the RC 2 and RC-N2, to control the drone.
