Pre flight preparations
Remove the gimbal protector and press the power button on each device to check the battery level. Make sure there’s enough battery power for the flight. Choose an open, unobstructed environment to fly in.
Powering on the aircraft
Press and then press and hold the power button for 2 seconds to power on the aircraft. Place the aircraft on flat ground, with the rear facing you. Press once, then press and hold for 2 seconds to power on the motion controller and goggles.
Adjusting the goggles
Unfold the antennas and adjust the forehead pad downward to the lowest position. Put on the goggles and rotate the headband adjustment knob on the battery compartment to adjust the length of the headband. Install the additional forehead pad for increased comfort if your eyes are too close to the lenses.
Setting the diopters
If your vision is in the range of 6.0 D to plus 2.0 D, rotate the knobs on the bottom of the goggles to adjust the diopters. The screen and the goggles will display the diopter value. Follow the steps to adjust the diopters: rotate both knobs to unlock them. Once unlocked, the knobs will pop out. Slide left and right to adjust the distance between the lenses until the image is properly aligned.
Close your left eye and adjust the right knob to change the diopters until the camera view is clear. Close your right eye and adjust the left knob to change the diopters until the camera view is clear. Rotate the knob and lock once the camera view is clear.
Flight Check
Before the first flight with the Dji Avata FPV drone, it is important to check the live view in the goggles to ensure there are no warning prompts and that the GPS signal is strong. For safety reasons, it is recommended to fly in beginner mode for the first flight.
Takeoff and Landing
To take off, press the lock button twice to start the aircraft motors, then press and hold the button again to make the aircraft take off. The aircraft will ascend to approximately 1.2 meters and hover. To land, press and hold the lock button while the aircraft is hovering. It will land automatically and stop the motors.
Aircraft Control
To control the aircraft, press or push the accelerator to make it fly forward or backward. When pressing the accelerator, there are two stops – gently press for noticeable resistance at the first stop. You can adjust the aircraft’s orientation by tilting the top of the motion controller up and down to control the gimbals.
To rotate the aircraft counterclockwise, gently press the accelerator to the first stop and simultaneously tilt the motion controller to the left. To rotate clockwise, tilt the motion controller to the right. It is important to follow these correct operations for a smooth flying experience with the Dji Avata FPV drone.

Man cannot change the aircrafts orientation press the accelerator to the second stop to make the aircraft fly in the direction of the circle in the goggles.
Controlling the Aircraft
At this time, Tilt the motion, controller up or down to make the aircraft ascend or descend at an angle tilt the top of the motion controller in either direction to make the aircraft rotate the circle in the goggles will move according to your gestures and the aircraft. Will fly in the direction of the circle in the goggles apply more pressure when pressing the accelerator to accelerate push the accelerator forward to fly the aircraft backward, braking, and hovering release the accelerator to stop and hover.
Lock Button Functionality
You can also press the lock button to break and hover in place, after which the orientation of the aircraft and the gimbal tilt cannot be controlled by tilting the motion controller. This allows the AR cursor to be used to change settings in the goggles press. The lock button again to resume flight control.
Joystick Control
Joystick control, move the joystick on the motion, controller up or down to make the aircraft ascend or descend vertically, move it left or right to make the aircraft move left or right horizontally. You can operate the accelerator and the joystick simultaneously to control the flight attitude of the aircraft.
Flight Modes
Switching flight modes and recording the motion. Controller has two modes: normal mode and sport mode. Normal mode is selected by default press the mode button once to switch between normal mode and sport mode, while flying in sport mode.

Flight Speed and Operation Logic
The Dji Avata FPV drone offers a faster flight speed compared to other models. The operation logic of the motion controller remains the same in both normal and sport modes. Users can easily control the drone by pressing the record button to take a photo or start/stop recording. By switching between photo and video mode, the head tracking function can be enabled for a more immersive flying experience.
Head Tracking Function
With head tracking enabled, users can control the horizontal orientation of the aircraft and the gimbal tilt through head movements. The motion controller, however, cannot control the gimbal tilt and only the aircraft can be controlled. Returning to home is made easy with the Dji Avata FPV drone. The home point is recorded when the GNSS icon is white, and a prompt will appear in the goggles during takeoff to confirm the updated home point.
Return to Home Feature
To initiate the Return to Home (RTH) feature, users can press and hold the mode button on the motion controller. The aircraft will then fly back to the last updated home point. If needed, users can cancel the RTH by pressing the lock button once. Exiting the RTH mode will give users back control of the aircraft. The aircraft will automatically activate the RTH feature or land in situations where the battery level is only sufficient for RTH or landing.
Flight Experience
After unboxing the Dji Avata FPV drone and going through the setup process, it was time to take to the skies. The first thing that stood out was the smooth takeoff and stable flight of the drone. The controls were responsive and easy to navigate, allowing for precise movements and adjustments while in the air.
Force Landing Safety Feature
One of the standout safety features of the Dji Avata FPV drone is its Force Landing capability. This feature is activated when the remote control signal or video transmission signal is lost. In this event, the drone will initiate a Force Landing and perform a Return to Home (RTH) by default. This provides peace of mind for users, knowing that the drone will safely land in the event of signal loss.
Return to Home (RTH) Functionality
The RTH functionality of the Dji Avata FPV drone is impressive. In testing, when the RTH button was activated, the drone smoothly and accurately returned to its takeoff point. This feature is invaluable for situations where the drone may fly out of range or if the pilot loses sight of it in the sky.
Video Transmission Signal
The video transmission signal of the Dji Avata FPV drone was strong and clear throughout the flight tests. This allowed for a seamless FPV (First Person View) experience, with real-time video feedback for the pilot. The high-quality video transmission signal enhanced the overall flight experience and made it easy to navigate and control the drone.
Conclusion
Overall, the Dji Avata FPV drone offers a seamless flying experience with advanced features such as head tracking and Return to Home functionality. With a faster flight speed and intuitive controls, this drone is a great choice for both beginners and experienced users alike.
Overall, the Dji Avata FPV drone delivered on its promise of a smooth and stable flight experience. The Force Landing safety feature provided an added layer of security, while the RTH functionality and clear video transmission signal made for a truly immersive FPV flying experience. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced drone pilot, the Dji Avata FPV drone is a solid choice for all your aerial adventures.
