DJI Avata Revealed, Gives You First-Person & Motion Control Drone Abilities

DJI Unveils DJI Avata, The Ultimate Immersive Drone Experience

DJI has unveiled its newest drone, the Avata, which puts a huge focus on first-person view (FPV) drone flight, allowing every pilot to get the most immersive experience yet.

Coupled with the new DJI Goggles 2 and the intuitive DJI Motion Controller, DJI Avata delivers a flight experience that was unimaginable until now.

Paired with the DJI Goggles 2 and the DJI Motion Controller, the Avata can be steered according to the movement of your hand. Users can also control the drone with the existing DJI FPV Remote Controller 2 and the DJI FPV Goggles V2.

Its unique and compact design strips down the chassis of a traditional drone into a body built for speed and agility, weighing only 410 grams while still integrating aerodynamic propeller guards for added safety.

It also houses a powerful stabilised camera, featuring a 1/1.7-inch CMOS sensor with 48 million effective pixels, that delivers premium imaging features like 4K/60fps and 2.7K/50/60/100/120fps video, giving creators a new tool for smoothly capturing premium video content.

Its flight time is also pegged at 18 minutes, giving you enough airtime to pick up a decent stretch of footage.

If the DJI Avata is pushed beyond its limits and lands upside down, a new Turtle mode allows it to flip back up and take off again. Together, DJI Avata’s flight control and stabilisation technology make it the ultimate drone for fun, all while capturing vivid, professional-quality video.

Even at its small size, DJI Avata includes the safety technology that DJI pioneered including DJI’s GEO 2.0 geofencing system to advise pilots of airspace restrictions and potential hazards, and to automatically prevent drones from flying near certain high-risk locations, such as airports.

The DJI Avata is available for pre-order, with the Avata Fly Smart bundle including the drone, headset, controller, and additional accessories for R22,499 and the DJI Aavata Pro View Combo for R26,999.
