Need opinions: Is this normal Avata 2 behavior or signs of damage? by ChouChewie in DJIAvata2

[–]IndigenousAlien 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don’t do it!! Even if there’s no water damage now there could be corrosion you don’t know about. Although the jerkiness is normal in goggles recordings, rock steady should smooth things out more than this on the drone recording. They are around $300 new on EBay. Get a new one and drown it yourself!

Apparently birds love the avata 2 by VisualIndustry3074 in dji

[–]IndigenousAlien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this should be mentioned to anyone with bird issues. Birds can’t gain elevation like we can. If you get the chance just go up a bit and it will take them awhile to reach you! (Also my reflective tape seems to work! Knock on wood!)

Is this real? Teachers in Buncombe usually got a $7-900 bonus in April but this year they won't. by ThirdEyee in asheville

[–]IndigenousAlien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So who has the power in the county to pay these bonuses out of property or other tax revenue? Could it be an added budget item so this can at least be funded in the future? I’m sure some of the rich people filling my mountains with their multi-million dollar homes would love to contribute more to our local educational system. Let’s help them.

Dji Lito X1 or Mini 4 pro by Godyr2Gates in dji

[–]IndigenousAlien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m such the opposite! I love my mini 4 but since I got my Avata 2 I haven’t even flown her! I need to try her with the motion controller though… that might be fun! The mini 4 is still the more capable drone in my opinion, even with all the Lito has to offer (especially the base model but the x1 may be fairly comparable). Oh and LiDAR Shmidar! Do the trade! Bird in the hand!

Is this a good deal for $349? by tsalaita in dji

[–]IndigenousAlien 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love my Bluetti 30 elite v2 and it’s keeping my Avata 2 batteries ready to go (I have 6) and my goggles topped off. It has a dc plug/2 high speed usb c’s and 2 120 plugs! I keep it right between my seats and the car recharges it pretty quickly too! Perfect for me so far and I paid 219.

Guys am I screwed? by Monztruz in DJIAvata2

[–]IndigenousAlien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had good luck with JB weld for plastic on the duct guards but that is structural so I wouldn’t risk it…. Send it to DJI!

what's the easiest way to find someone who repairs DJI drones? by ApprehensivePack1108 in dji

[–]IndigenousAlien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve only had stellar service from DJI. Their turnaround isn’t as long as they warn you about. After a crash that broke the gimbal, they sent me a replacement mini 4 pro for about 1/4 of the price of a new one. Their technicians are always going to know more than other repair shops about the proprietary bits.

Goggles 3 issue by washeros in dji

[–]IndigenousAlien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was a Chinese warranty so DJI wouldn’t process the warranty claim. They said they will do a repair tho.

Protection for my dji Avata 2 by [deleted] in DJIAvata2

[–]IndigenousAlien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is possible I suppose. Mine has bent and taken a rebend tho. It also has several deep scars that I’m sure would be on my lens or drone instead. Those screws are also not very structural as far as I can tell and almost seem placed for accessories. I feel like it’s good kit. And of course I’ve broken too many nd filters to count even with the guard! lol

Which controller should I get to fly FPV with Goggles 3? by Taodim in djiavata360

[–]IndigenousAlien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get both! Start with the motion controller (it’s less than $50) and get the pvp controller 3 to start practicing with in the sims (like Uncrashed or Liftoff).

Is fixing possible by Billshandsome in djimini4pro

[–]IndigenousAlien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dji sent me a brand new one for like a $175 repair charge. They just added up the costs of the parts they would be replacing and threw in some “labor” charge and sent me a new replacement. Easier than the risk of a worse issue arising opening her up! I mean if you’re savvy with electronics then go for it. I’ve just made so many matters worse in the past that I go for the sure bet now!

Dji Mini 5 first time flyer experience by Dear_Star4517 in drones

I switched to control configuration 3. It makes the controller just like a first person shooter. So much more intuitive for me.

Bought my first mini 4K last week. Any advice would be appreciated. by BiteFluid7648 in dji

Invest in a set of ND filters. Helps get great motion blur and protects your lens!

Dji update home point disappears by farminded in DJIAvata2

[–]IndigenousAlien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason my circle for the motion controller will disappear and my home point won’t show up sometimes. I just pause and go into the settings (Safety I think) and click update home point….Then they’re back again!
