DJI Avata 2

The DJI Avata 2, introduced by DJI in early 2023, represents the latest evolution of the company’s FPV (first‑person view) drone line, building on the groundbreaking success of the original Avata launched the previous year. Developed through close collaboration with professional drone racers and cinematic creators, the Avata 2 incorporates lessons learned from intensive testing in both indoor obstacle courses and rugged outdoor environments, positioning it as a bridge between sport, filmmaking, and industrial inspection. Key features include a lightweight carbon‑fiber frame, a 1/1.3‑inch CMOS sensor capable of 4K/60 fps video, and a new O3 Transmission system that delivers ultra‑low latency video up to 108 km/h with a 1080p/60 fps live feed to the DJI Goggles 2. An integrated obstacle‑avoidance suite—four forward‑facing vision sensors and three downward sensors—provides automated brakes and auto‑return, a first for FPV drones in this price class. The Avata 2’s modular battery system offers up to 27 minutes of flight time, while its LED‑enhanced propellers improve visibility in low‑light conditions. Its significance lies in democratizing high‑performance FPV flight, enabling creators and professionals to capture immersive footage with unprecedented safety and reliability, and setting new standards for agility and visual fidelity in the consumer aviation market.
