The DJI Avata Fly More Combo with a single battery will set you back $999, while the three-battery combo costs $1199. The drone itself costs $489, while the Goggles 3 are $499, the RC Motion 3 is $99, and the DJI FPV Remote Controller 3 is $199. Other accessories are available for a range of prices individually, but suffice it to say that the three-battery fly more combo definitely offers the greatest value for money. Overall, for what you’re getting the DJI Avata 2 is very reasonably priced.
If you’re still flying the DJI FPV Drone, then the DJI Avata 2 is a big upgrade in most ways. Though the DJI FPV Drone is very cool, much faster, and is great for carrying action cameras, in every other way the Avata 2 is much better. The original Avata is still available, but at $829 it’s not cheap enough to be worth buying when the Avata 2 is available for just $170 more. The Avata 2 is so much better than its predecessor in fact that it’s definitely worth upgrading to if you own the original Avata.
If you’re more interested in taking photos, then you’re better off with the DJI Mini 4 Pro, Air 3, or the Mavic 3 Classic or Mavic 3 Pro. Remember that the Avata 2 is not really cut out for taking still photos, and those more traditional camera drones will deliver higher-quality video, though the Avata 2 has definitely closed the gap considerably in that regard.
You could also build your own DIY FPV drone, but that’s a serious hobby to get into with a steep learning curve, albeit an exciting one well worth considering if you have the time and inclination.
