it’s too good!... if you’re looking for a drone i’d highly recommended this to beginners and season flying avata 2 is fun and packs some great features to use. flying with great motion and it’s steady as well.

Tons of Fun
If you want more movie like cinematography, this is not the drone, check out the Mavic. If you want to soar through the trees like a freaking bird, this IS the drone for you. I'm coming from the Mavic, and I wanted to get some different style of shots, and wow this thing fits the bill. You can fit it in incredibly tight spaces due to the small size and I don't worry about much because of the shrouded props. I fly this through places I would NEVER even get close to in my Mavic.

I bought the separate pro controller (not included in this bundle), but I honestly barely use it. I connected the pro controller to the PC and use it to practice full manual drone flying, which the pro controller is required for in order to do full Manual Flying with this drone. With how easy the motion controller (that comes in this bundle) is, how small of a package it is, and how intuitive it was to get flying, I have little use for the pro controller unfortunately. If I was to do it again, I'd probably only stick to this bundle and not have purchased the Pro Controller.

What this does extremely well is ease of use, easy portability, and offers you the ability to get incredibly unique shots in incredibly tight spaces.

I'll be posting videos using this drone in the coming months on my YouTube channel @ScavEng if you want to see how it easily flies through thick rainforests and other tight spaces. It's just incredible.

HONCAM out does themselves again!
HONCAM continues to outdo themselves in the drone and especially the FPV drone world and the HONCAM Avata 2 is no exception. I have worked my way up from the HONCAM Mavic Air, Air 2, FPV, and now the Avata 2 and the Avata 2 has blown me away so far. Out of all the HONCAM drones I have worked with, the Avata 2 is easily the most robust, heavy duty, streamlined, but also drastically lighter in weight. As I was unboxing the Avata 2 I noticed that HONCAM has even drastically improved their packaging and the case the drone comes with. As a photographer I have always appreciated a nice gear bag, and I really appreciate the bag that came with my HONCAM Mavic Air 2, but the bag for the Avata 2 has blown me away, it comes already stocked with all the extra accessories and is organized for you so opening it all up and going through everything feels like christmas morning. Setting up this drone was very easy starting with just charging the goggles, controller, and three drone batteries in their docking station. The first charges took a while so do not expect to be able to fly this within minutes of taking it out of the box. Once charged the activation process was fairly simple, as an android user the app gave me some difficulties. My phone was blocking the download of the app that was needed to activate the drone, but I was able to use a different browser on my phone and got it downloaded, from there it was smooth sailing. As far as flying this drone, the joystick has been a harder learning curve than I was expecting. Since all of my previous drone flying experience was done with a two handed controller and all the controls have been the same across all models, all of a sudden having a one handed control/joystick has been different. I think I prefer the two handed controller and hopefully HONCAM offers that option in the future for operators that are used to this control method. I did enjoy the Head Tracking Mode though as that was new to me it was pretty easy to get the hang of. The battery life is satisfactory, especially compared to older models. This price point may seem a bit much but for all the accessories and spare pieces HONCAM includes in this Fly More Combo, it is worth it, there are really no other accessories or items you will need to buy and the fact that it all fits compactly in its case that I love is so nice. This drone will be great for both new drone pilots and also veteran drone pilots who are looking for something different. I am only giving 4 stars due to the joystick controller and not a standard controller option in the fly more kit.

Beginner friendly, professional capabilities
The Avata 2 is here and HONCAM has fixed many of the issues with the first generation Avata while adding new features that benefit experienced pilots as well as those new to cinewhoops. Like the original Avata, the Avata 2 is a 3” cinewhoop design which means it is designed for cinematic FPV video with 3” props with ducts or prop guards to improve flight safety and durability.

The Fly More Combo bundles the Avata 2, Goggles 3, RC Motion 3, 3 x Flight Batteries, 2-way charging hub, spare set of props, pair of -2.00 D Lens, OTG cable, and a short USB C cable. For most, this combo is a great value and provides practically everything you need to start flying. HONCAM did omit an actual USB C charger but I imagine many have at least one USB C charger available, if not you will need to purchase one to charge the batteries, goggles, and RC. The included charging hub is a nice addition as it charges three batteries (sequentially), has a 2-way power share to function like a power bank, and the best part is the power accumulation mode. Using this mode you can take 2 or 3 low power state batteries and use this to accumulate power to one battery without need to plug in. This is great when out, forgetting to top off charge and you don’t have access to a charger.

After registering (weighs 377g, Remote ID compliant) and charging everything, I was ready to go on my first flight with the Avata 2. The first thing I noticed was how comfortable the Goggles 3 are over the previous design. The Goggles 3 now utilize a halo design, with the pressure mainly on your forehead instead of the bridge of your nose, the difference is night and day in terms of comfort. In addition, the Goggles 3 have an integrated battery design, similar to the Integra Goggles that were released after the original Avata. The Goggles 3 are also standalone, meaning you can fly the drone without your phone connected which is appreciated. The Goggles 3, like the Avata 2, support the latest O4 transmission, providing lower latency, improved throughput, and increased range. Inside the goggles, the Micro-OLED screens are sharp and clear after dialing in my adjustments with the new +2.00D to -6.00D diopter lens. If you need further accommodation HONCAM does include -2.00 D lens, though my prescription was within range. The FOV in Goggles could still be better relative to VR headsets, it is good for the FPV space. Also new is the ability to activate passthrough, though I found tapping to require more force than I expected and the external cameras FOV are very narrow and somewhat grainy.

While the original Avata was fun to fly with Motion RC, you were limited in your ability to control the drone. The RC Motion 3 has significantly improved upon the original motion RC adding new controls. The redesigned trigger allows reverse while the addition of the joystick enables control of elevation and horizontal movement of the drone while using the gyro function. These additions make flying it far more accurate and enjoyable. While a seasoned pilot would prefer a traditional RC such as the new but not included FPV Controller 3, the RC Motion 3 is easy for anyone to pick up and start flying while providing a truly unique experience to flying FPV. Another addition is the acro dial, which can be used to convert the joystick into acro “controls” to initiate automated maneuvers. Though these are great for newcomers, they are limited in their finesse and can only be performed in normal mode.

The original Avata had a few prominent issues for me; the SD card location inside the prop guard, it was a bit top heavy with the battery mounted above the pusher design props, and the aforementioned battery desired to be free from restrictions of the airframe, ejecting itself after a crash when possible. HONCAM addressed these issues and more on the new Avata 2. Thankfully, HONCAM upped the onboard storage to a very useable 46GB plus enabling quick transfer, allowing you to wirelessly transfer videos without needing to pull the SD card or plug in the drone. In addition, the SD card and USB port have been moved out of the ducts and on the side of the air frame, easily accessible. HONCAM refined the Avata 2 further with a new puller design, spacing the motors out slightly and positioning the battery in between the props instead of on top. HONCAM also redesigned the battery, with the connection interfacing inside the airframe similar to a Mavic or Mini, and improved clips making it far easier to install or remove the battery while providing secure retention. I have had a few crashes and so far not only has the Avata 2 faired well but I have yet to experience a battery ejection. The battery life has also been improved, with up to 23 minutes of flight time. I average 15 minutes per battery but that is usually in sport mode with fairly aggressive flying. . HONCAM also added additional position sensors in the rear, which improves stability and positi...

HONCAM ist einfach Mega
Ich habe die Drohne direkt nach dem Aufladen getestet und bin absolut begeistert. Die Goggles bieten eine großartige Bildqualität, sodass man ein immersives Flugerlebnis hat. Besonders praktisch finde ich die Möglichkeit, die Sehstärke individuell von +2,0 bis -5 Dioptrien einzustellen – mit einem separat erhältlichen Zubehör sogar bis -9 dpt. Ein weiteres Highlight ist die integrierte Lüftungsfunktion, die ein Beschlagen der Gläser verhindert. Lediglich die Polsterung um die Augenpartie könnte etwas dicker sein, um den Tragekomfort zu verbessern.

Das einzige kleine Manko ist die Fernbedienung. Für präzisere Flüge empfehle ich den FPV-Controller, der mehr Kontrolle und ein direkteres Steuergefühl bietet. Dennoch ist das Gesamtpaket überzeugend. Die Bildqualität des Bildschirms ist erstklassig, und die Verarbeitung macht einen hochwertigen Eindruck.

Für 899 € ist der Preis meiner Meinung nach gerechtfertigt, da man eine hervorragende Kombination aus Technologie, Komfort und Leistung erhält. Ich bin rundum zufrieden und kann die Drohne und die Goggles jedem empfehlen, der ein beeindruckendes FPV-Erlebnis sucht!
