After almost two years, DJI has unveiled its sequel to its 2022 FPV drone: the DJI Avata 2, which comes at a significantly lower price than its predecessor.
The DJI Avata 2 features a new Super Wide angle 12-megapixel 1/1.3-inch sensor with a 155-degree field of view (FoV). It brings wider dynamic range and better performance in low-light scenarios.
Its media output capabilities include HDR video up to 4K at 60 frames per second (fps) and slo-mo videos 2.7K at 120 fps.
In comparison to the original DJI Avata, the new model lasts five minutes longer with a maximum of 23 minutes flight time. This is likely due to its refined build with a 16mm shorter, 32mm wider frame making it more stable and 28 grams lighter.
The max video transmission distance is also longer at 13 kilometers — that’s 3 km farther than the OG — with 24ms low latency, 1080p, 100fps, with max bitrate of 60Mbps.
In the US, the DJI Avata 2’s kit with the Goggles 3 and DJI RC Motion 3 controller now starts at just USD 999 (from USD 1,388 price tag on the 2022 model). For drone only, the DJI Avata 2 sets you back only USD 489 (down from USD 629).
No official pricing yet for the Philippines, although for reference, the original DJI Avata 16 launched at PHP 59,800 for the ‘Fly More Combo’ bundle.
