The DJI Avata 2 Fly More Combo (3 Batteries) is a premium FPV-style drone package aimed at people who want cinematic first-person footage without building a custom rig. It combines the Avata 2 drone with DJI Goggles 3 and the RC Motion 3 controller, so you get everything you need to start flying straight away.
With up to 23 minutes of flight per battery, a stabilised 4K-capable 12MP camera and a tough ducted design with built‑in propeller guards, it’s clearly geared towards confident hobbyists and aspiring creators rather than casual toy-drone buyers. The price reflects that, sitting at the higher end of the consumer drone market.
Owner feedback is very positive, with a 4.7 out of 5 rating from early reviews, suggesting DJI has struck a strong balance between performance, immersion and ease of use.
The Avata 2 Fly More Combo is ideal for enthusiasts who want that FPV “in the cockpit” feeling but don’t want to tinker with DIY gear. If you’ve flown camera drones before and now want something more agile and exciting for cinematic moves, this is a strong fit.
With a premium price tag and three intelligent flight batteries included, it suits serious hobbyists and content creators who’ll actually make use of the extra airtime, whether that’s for travel videos, social content or practice sessions in open spaces.
It’s also well suited to pilots who value safety and reassurance. The built‑in propeller guards, low-battery protection, Return to Home and binocular visual positioning all help reduce the risk of mishaps, while Turtle Mode can flip the drone back over if it lands upside down.
If you’re brand new to drones and just want something cheap to fly in the garden, this will be overkill. But if you’re comfortable with tech, happy to register with the CAA, and want a more immersive, cinematic flying experience, the Avata 2 combo makes a lot of sense.
The big draw here is immersion. DJI Goggles 3 put you right in the action, with a wide 155° field of view and low‑latency video feed that makes flying feel incredibly immediate and precise.
Image quality is strong for this type of drone. The 1/1.3″ sensor and 12MP resolution, combined with 4K ultra‑stabilised video and support for D‑Log, mean you can capture smooth, cinematic footage that’s easy to grade for a more professional look.
Flight performance is confidence‑inspiring. Up to 23 minutes of airtime per battery, a 13km maximum transmission distance (where legal) and GPS plus visual positioning give you a stable, predictable platform that’s happy both indoors and outside.
The combo itself is generous. Three intelligent flight batteries, charging hub, Goggles 3, RC Motion 3, sling bag and cables mean you’re ready to fly for extended sessions without buying extras straight away.
Ease ACRO and Immersive Motion Control make it far simpler to pull off dynamic moves and swooping shots than with a conventional twin-stick controller, so intermediate pilots can get stylish footage much more quickly.
Price is the main stumbling block. This is a premium kit, and while you do get a lot in the box, it will feel expensive if you’re not committed to the hobby.
The 23‑minute maximum flight time is decent but still means relatively short flights once you factor in safety margins and real‑world conditions. The three batteries help, but frequent flyers will need to plan around charging.
A 12MP stills resolution is perfectly fine for social media and general use, but dedicated aerial photographers chasing large prints or heavy cropping may find it limiting compared with higher‑resolution camera drones.
Finally, the specialist FPV-style experience, motion controller and goggles come with a learning curve. Complete beginners may initially find the controls and regulations around FPV flying a bit daunting.
Out of the box, the Avata 2 combo feels like a complete system rather than just a drone. The included sling bag keeps the aircraft, goggles, controller and three batteries neatly organised, which makes getting to your flying spot less of a faff.
Setup is app‑driven via the DJI Fly app on Android (7 or above) or iOS (13 or above). Once bound, the RC Motion 3 controller is intuitive: tilt, point and squeeze to bank and accelerate, which quickly becomes second nature even if you’re used to standard twin sticks.
In the air, the protected ducted design and built‑in propeller guards help you relax a little when flying close to obstacles, especially indoors or in tighter spaces. Features like low‑battery protection, Return to Home and GPS lock reduce anxiety about losing the drone, while Turtle Mode is a surprisingly handy safety net if you clip something and land upside down.
Using the Goggles 3 is immersive but does cut you off from your surroundings, so you’ll want a spotter with you and a comfortable place to stand or sit. Once on, though, latency feels low and the wide FOV makes framing your shots straightforward. The overall experience is fast, engaging and far less fiddly than traditional FPV builds.
The core of the Avata 2 is its camera and flight system. The 1/1.3″ sensor, 12MP stills and up to 4K resolution, combined with 120fps frame rates where supported, give you crisp, detailed footage with plenty of scope for slow‑motion and post‑production tweaks. D‑Log recording is a welcome inclusion for creators who want more dynamic range and colour control.
Flight performance is anchored by a 23‑minute maximum flight time per 2150mAh battery and an operating distance of up to 13,000m under ideal conditions. While you’ll be limited by local regulations long before you hit those extremes, the range and stability give you a lot of confidence to explore your surroundings and experiment with more adventurous routes.
For control and stability, the drone combines GPS, binocular fisheye visual positioning and intelligent safety modes. These systems help it hold position, avoid drifting and maintain a smooth path even when you’re concentrating on your framing through the goggles.
The Easy ACRO mode is a standout feature for this type of product. It lets you perform agile, FPV‑style manoeuvres and dynamic camera moves that would normally demand serious stick skills, opening up more dramatic footage to a wider group of pilots. Turtle Mode further reinforces its FPV credentials by allowing the drone to right itself after a tumble.
Connectivity is modern, with Bluetooth 5.0 and dual‑band Wi‑Fi support (up to Wi‑Fi 5), plus live streaming options for sharing your flights in real time. Video is recorded in common formats (H.264/H.265 in MP4 and JPEG stills), so editing on most devices is straightforward.
The Avata 2 Fly More Combo with three batteries is clearly a premium purchase, but the package goes a long way towards justifying its cost. You’re not just buying a drone – you’re getting Goggles 3, the RC Motion 3 controller, a charging hub, a carry sling bag and enough batteries for serious flying sessions.
Given the strong 4.7/5 owner rating, most users feel they’re getting what they paid for in terms of performance, immersion and build quality. The combination of 4K stabilised video, intelligent safety features and FPV-style control would typically demand multiple separate purchases in the FPV world.
If you only want occasional line‑of‑sight flying or simple aerial photos, there are cheaper standard camera drones that will do the job. But for pilots who specifically want immersive FPV-style flying in a ready‑to‑go, well‑supported ecosystem, the overall value is competitive, especially with the extra batteries included.
The DJI Avata 2 Fly More Combo is a compelling option for anyone who wants cinematic FPV flying without diving into the complexities of DIY builds. It blends immersive goggles, intuitive motion controls and strong image quality into a polished, accessible package.
You’re paying a premium, and the 12MP sensor plus 23‑minute flight time won’t appeal to every aerial photographer on paper, but the way the system works together – from safety features to Easy ACRO and Turtle Mode – makes it far easier to get dramatic footage than most traditional setups.
If you’re an enthusiastic drone pilot or content creator ready to invest in a more exciting, immersive way to fly, this combo is easy to recommend. Absolute beginners on a tight budget or those only needing basic overhead shots may be better served by a simpler, cheaper camera drone.
