We strongly suggest doing this on the simulator first. This doesn’t come naturally to drone photographers, but (with practice) will let you pull off stunts like flips. Manual mode, by the way, offers DJI enthusiasts the opportunity to try something close to enthusiasts ‘Acro’ mode. With that data fed back to the screen (and the software’s reluctance to dive below 1m / 3ft) stunts look audacious but aren’t as hard to pull off as you might think. When you’re within 20m / 60ft of the surface, the drone’s vision sensors track it, and nearer the surface ToF sensors track the height to within 10cm (3in). Impressive satellite positioning (GPS+Galileo+BeiDou) plays a part, but the real magic comes from the sensor array beneath. Hit the ‘Brake’ button and it’ll stop to a hover very suddenly. Since the Avata can easily flying tight and low to the ground in bigger drones don’t do well, the Avata makes an already high speed more exciting. Now ‘Sport’ might sound a bit disappointing seen like this, but it’s a very similar top speed to DJI’s consumer flagship Mavic 3 (19 m/s). If you stump up for the clearly PlayStation-inspired DJI FPV Remote Controller you’ll release ‘Manual’ mode and up to 27 m/s (60.4 mph). The drone has three speed modes, but only Normal (8 m/s / 17.9 mph) and Sport (18 m/s / 31.3 mph) are available with the floating handle controller. We tested the Motion Controller bundle, which might be off-putting to purists, but very quickly becomes second nature. The gimbal didn’t seem to like it at first, but after powering off and restarting it was fine. Here (for scientific purposes, naturally) we did manage to fly as fast as Sport would allow into a tree. When we tested the DJI FPV we didn’t manage to crash it the collision sensors kicked in and saved us from inevitable propellor damage. Perhaps there is some advantage keeping the card in place in an impact, but it’s also effect when you actually want to get at it! Flight characteristics Put simply, you want to have to swap the card often. Oddly DJI have tucked a USB-C socket and MicroSD card on the inside of one of the ducts, under a rubber cover, at the same height as the blades. (Image credit: Adam Juniper / Digital Camera World) The ports can be seen under a flap in the nearest duct, and the sensor array in the middle of the underside.
