The DJI Avata 2 Fly More Combo (Single Battery) is a premium first-person-view (FPV) drone package aimed at anyone who wants cinema-style swooping shots and an in-the-cockpit flying experience. It pairs a compact quadcopter with DJI Goggles 3 and the RC Motion 3 controller, so you get everything you need to get airborne straight out of the box.
With 4K ultra‑stabilised video, a 12MP camera and up to 23 minutes of flight time, it sits in the upper end of the consumer drone market, both in terms of price and capability. This is not a casual toy drone – it’s designed for enthusiasts and creators who want fluid, acrobatic footage without having to custom-build an FPV setup.
Owner ratings are strong, averaging 4.7 out of 5 from early reviews, which backs up the spec sheet: this is a well-regarded, feature-rich option from one of the leading names in drones.
The Avata 2 Fly More Combo is ideal for hobbyists and content creators who want the thrill of FPV flying without the complexity of assembling and tuning their own rig. If you’ve been tempted by those sweeping, low-level landscape shots and fast fly‑throughs you see online, this package is very much aimed at you.
It suits buyers with a mid to high budget for a drone. At this price you’re paying for a complete FPV ecosystem – drone, goggles and motion controller – plus safety features like propeller guards and visual positioning that make close‑quarters flying more forgiving.
Beginners who are serious about learning FPV will appreciate modes like Easy ACRO and Turtle Mode, which help you explore flips, rolls and recovery with more confidence. That said, you’ll still need to invest time learning the controls and the legal requirements, so it’s better suited to committed enthusiasts rather than someone just looking for an occasional holiday drone.
If you already own compatible DJI goggles or controllers, the Avata 2 airframe will drop neatly into your existing kit. But for most buyers, this combo makes most sense as an all‑in‑one route into immersive FPV flying.
The integrated 4K ultra‑stabilised camera with a 1/1.3″ sensor and 12MP stills means the Avata 2 delivers crisp, cinematic footage with a very wide 155‑degree field of view. It’s designed for dramatic, immersive shots rather than just static overhead clips.
Up to 23 minutes of flight time from the intelligent 2150 mAh battery is generous for a compact FPV-style drone, giving you enough airtime to explore locations and retry complex moves without constant landings.
Easy ACRO and immersive motion control via the DJI RC Motion 3 make traditionally advanced manoeuvres much more accessible. You can bank, dive and arc through gaps with natural wrist movements, rather than mastering complex stick inputs from day one.
Safety and confidence are helped by built‑in propeller guards, binocular fisheye visual positioning and a Return to Home mode, all of which are particularly reassuring when flying close to obstacles or in unfamiliar areas.
The inclusion of DJI Goggles 3 in the box means you get low‑latency, high‑quality video direct to your eyes, transforming flying into a genuinely cockpit‑like experience without needing extra purchases.
This Fly More Combo with goggles and motion controller commands a premium price, especially when you only get a single battery in the box – frequent flyers will quickly want at least one spare.
The manufacturer warranty is just one year, which feels modest for a high‑ticket piece of tech that’s likely to see regular outdoor use and the occasional hard landing.
Its maximum quoted speed of 27 km/h is fairly conservative for an FPV‑style drone. While it’s more than fast enough for cinematic flying, speed‑hungry racers may find it tame compared with more specialised FPV builds.
The 12MP still resolution and JPEG‑only image format are perfectly adequate for social media and casual prints, but more demanding photographers may miss RAW capture and higher‑resolution stills.
Living with the DJI Avata 2 is all about that FPV experience. With DJI Goggles 3 on, you see exactly what the drone sees, making it intuitive to thread through trees, over ridges and around buildings in a way that feels more like piloting a tiny aircraft than simply flying a camera.
The RC Motion 3 controller is designed for one‑handed use, steering based on your wrist movements. For newcomers this is often far less intimidating than a traditional twin‑stick controller, and it makes tilting into turns and banking around corners feel very natural.
Built‑in propeller guards and visual positioning give you an extra cushion of safety when flying low or indoors. If you do clip something and the drone ends up upside down, Turtle Mode is ready to flip it back onto its feet without trudging over to it – a small but very welcome quality‑of‑life touch.
Battery management is straightforward thanks to the intelligent flight battery and low‑battery protection. The drone will warn you and can return home automatically rather than dropping out of the sky. You’ll still want to plan flights around that 23‑minute window, but it’s long enough for most casual sessions.
Connecting to your phone via the DJI Fly app on Android (7 or above) or iOS (13 or above) is also simple, giving you access to settings, firmware updates and sharing options without needing a computer.
At the heart of the Avata 2 is a 1/1.3‑inch camera sensor paired with 4K ultra‑stabilised video and up to 120fps frame rate. That combination is excellent for FPV work, letting you capture smooth, detailed footage and slow‑motion sequences that still look sharp. The ultra‑wide 155‑degree field of view pulls more of the environment into shot, heightening the sense of speed and immersion.
The drone offers multiple video resolutions, from 1440 x 1080 all the way up to 3840 x 2160, along with D‑Log and Normal colour modes. D‑Log is particularly handy for creators who want more flexibility in colour grading during editing, while Normal mode gives punchy results straight from the drone for quick sharing.
In the air, the Avata 2 combines GPS with binocular fisheye visual positioning to maintain stable flight and altitude, even when you’re close to the ground or flying indoors. A maximum operating distance of up to 13,000 metres and a ceiling of 5,000 feet (within legal limits) gives ample scope for exploring, provided you always maintain a visual line of sight as required by UK law.
Easy ACRO mode is a major highlight for aspiring FPV pilots. Traditionally, flips, rolls and sharp power loops require lots of practice on manual rates. Here, DJI layers software assistance over your inputs, so you can achieve those dynamic moves with much less risk of an instant crash. Combined with Turtle Mode and prop guards, it’s a far more forgiving introduction to acro flying.
On the connectivity side, the drone supports Bluetooth 5.0, Wi‑Fi up to Wi‑Fi 5 (802.11ac) and live streaming, so you can share the FPV view in real time or quickly offload footage. The DJI Fly app handles configuration, updates and media management, keeping the overall system tightly integrated.
Viewed purely as a drone, the Avata 2 is undeniably a premium purchase, but this combo is much more than just the aircraft. You’re getting high‑quality goggles, an intuitive motion controller and a very full feature set tailored specifically to immersive FPV flying.
The strong 4.7/5 owner rating suggests buyers feel they’re getting what they paid for: a polished, tightly integrated system that works straight out of the box. For enthusiasts and creators who would otherwise piece together a custom FPV rig and goggles, the convenience alone will justify the cost.
If you only need a basic camera drone for occasional holiday shots, there are more affordable models that will do the job. But if your priority is cinematic FPV footage with safety nets like Easy ACRO, Return to Home and robust stabilisation, the Avata 2 Fly More Combo offers solid value within the premium bracket – especially for those who want a no‑fuss, all‑in‑one solution.
The DJI Avata 2 Fly More Combo (Single Battery) is a compelling choice for anyone serious about exploring FPV flying and cinematic low‑level shots without the hassle of building and tuning their own system. The mix of 4K ultra‑stabilised video, wide‑angle lens, immersive goggles and motion‑based controls works brilliantly together to deliver a genuinely thrilling flying experience.
Safety‑minded features such as prop guards, visual positioning, Return to Home, Easy ACRO and Turtle Mode all help keep the risks in check while you build confidence, which is especially important if you’re new to FPV. The main compromises are the premium price, the single included battery and the relatively modest stills capability compared with dedicated camera drones.
If you’re a casual flyer on a tight budget, a simpler GPS camera drone will likely make more sense. But if you want an out‑of‑the‑box FPV package from a trusted brand, with enough intelligence to help you learn the ropes and enough performance to grow with you, the Avata 2 stands out as a strong and very enjoyable option.
