DJI Unveils DJI Avata, The Ultimate Immersive Drone Experience

DJI Avata Drone and DJI Goggles 2 Harness DJI’s Unmatched Technology for Thrilling First-Person View Flight, Pushing the Bounds of Drone Possibilities for Every Pilot

August 25, 2022 – DJI, the world’s leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, today introduces DJI Avata, a transformational new drone that offers an unparalleled experience of immersive flight. DJI Avata creates a new paradigm for first-person view (FPV) drone flight, allowing every pilot to race through the skies and feel its astonishing performance, agility, and easy control. Coupled with the new DJI Goggles 2 and the intuitive DJI Motion Controller, DJI Avata delivers a flight experience that was unimaginable until now.

“DJI Avata was built to awaken a desire to fly in everyone, with immersive flight technology that allows anyone to explore the almost out-of-body experience of FPV flight,” said Ferdinand Wolf, Creative Director at DJI. “DJI Avata is breathtaking to fly for even a novice pilot, and includes enhanced safety features that give anyone the freedom to try creative aerial moves. Paired with the DJI Goggles 2¹ and the DJI Motion Controller, DJI Avata seems to ride with the wind. Whether you fly for the fun of it, to make great clips for social media, or to dazzle viewers in the production studio, DJI Avata will show you why its engrossing flight experience pulls you into a new world of soaring possibilities.”

DJI Avata opens new creative directions for beginners and professionals alike. Its unique and compact design strips down the chassis of a traditional drone into a body built for speed and agility, weighing only 410 grams while still integrating aerodynamic propeller guards for added safety. Its powerful stabilized camera, featuring a 1/1.7” CMOS sensor with 48 million effective pixels, delivers premium imaging features like 4K/60fps and 2.7K/50/60/100/120fps² video, giving creators a scorching new tool for smoothly capturing premium video content. And with a flight time of up to 18 minutes, it can deliver a thrill ride full of power on every flight.

DJI Avata is designed to be paired with DJI Goggles 2 – DJI’s newest flight control technology – and the DJI Motion Controller, which steers the drone according to the movement of your hand. Users can also control the drone with the existing DJI FPV Remote Controller 2 and the DJI FPV Goggles V2. DJI’s unequaled flight technology means DJI Avata can hover like a traditional drone, accelerate like a racer, zoom in and out of tight spaces, and stop in a fraction of a second. If DJI Avata is pushed beyond its limits and lands upside down, a new Turtle mode allows it to flip back up and take off again. Together, DJI Avata’s flight control and stabilization technology make it the ultimate drone for fun, all while capturing vivid, professional-quality video:

DJI Goggles 2: High Resolution and Low-Latency Transmission

DJI Goggles 2 is a next-generation video headset that offers a smaller, lighter, and more comfortable fit, with a crystal-clear FPV image comparable to those from other DJI drones³. DJI Goggles 2 features a clearer Micro-OLED screen with adjustable diopters, so people who normally wear glasses do not need to use them with the goggles. When used with the DJI Motion Controller, you can control the aircraft and the gimbal camera freely to meet your shooting needs in various scenarios. An intuitive touch panel on the side of the goggles enables you to easily control its settings with only one hand.

DJI Avata and DJI Goggles 2 connect using DJI O3+ transmission, the most powerful and reliable technology for precise control, ultra-low latency, and detailed video at 1080p/100fps with H.265 decoding. It offers the lowest transmission delay of approximately 30 milliseconds, the longest transmission distance of 10 kilometers, auto-switching dual frequencies, a high bitrate of 50 Mbps, and state-of-the-art anti-interference methods to ensure a reliable feed. DJI Goggles 2 also offers a Wireless Streaming function to view the live feed from your mobile phone or computer on the goggles screen, bringing you an immersive viewing experience.

DJI Motion Controller

The DJI Motion Controller is a completely reinvented flight control device that allows the pilot to precisely fly complex maneuvers based on the natural motions of one hand. The system is so intuitive that even complete beginners can get started quickly and learn to fly in continuous fluid motions, even when swooping close to the ground, whizzing past obstacles, and gliding through tight enclosures into open spaces.

Upgraded 4K Imaging System With Super Stabilization

DJI Avata has an outstanding imaging system that outstrips that on any FPV racer – a 1/1.7-inch 48MP Photo CMOS sensor with f/2.8 aperture, and an ultra-wide-angle lens with a viewing angle of up to 155°. The wider field of view enables immersive aerial photography and videography at up to 4k/60fps, as well as slow-motion footage at 2.7K/100fps. Equipped with D-Cinelike color mode, DJI Avata allows a broad color palette that enables detailed chromatic adjustments to your works.

Even during high-pressure aerial maneuvers, DJI Avata keeps your video sharp and stable with two flagship stabilization technologies. DJI RockSteady eliminates overall picture shake, and DJI HorizonSteady keeps the picture oriented toward true level. All that data flows to 20 GB of internal storage space, allowing extra freedom and spontaneity when the opportunity for a creative shot arises, even without a microSD card installed in the onboard drive.

​​Fly Safe With Confidence

DJI Avata’s built-in propeller guards make the fuselage more durable and greatly reduce the probability of risk, allowing you to fly more confidently with a craft that can withstand minor collisions and even right itself after a flip in Turtle mode.

When DJI Avata is in the air, pilots can rely on a suite of safety features that make flying a memorable and safe experience. A dedicated Emergency Brake and Hover feature is available in all flying modes, stopping the drone and hovering in place at any time during the flight. Failsafe Return to Home brings the drone back to its home point automatically with a press of a button, or in the event that transmission is lost or the battery reaches a critically low level.

Even at its small size, DJI Avata includes the industry-leading safety technology that DJI pioneered and has kept the world’s skies safe in the drone era. DJI Avata uses DJI’s GEO 2.0 geofencing system to advise pilots of airspace restrictions and potential hazards, and to automatically prevent drones from flying near certain high-risk locations, such as airports. DJI Avata also features DJI’s AirSense ADS-B receiver system to warn drone pilots when airplanes or helicopters are nearby, and broadcasts DJI’s AeroScope signal to help authorities monitor airborne drones in sensitive locations. The overwhelming majority of drone pilots fly safely and responsibly, and DJI Avata’s high-speed performance can warrant extra attention and care from drone pilots to be aware of their surroundings. Drone pilots flying with FPV goggles should pair with a visual observer to act as a spotter, and many jurisdictions require a visual observer to watch for airspace hazards. Always fly safely and responsibly, and be sure to understand and follow the legal requirements for flight.

DJI Avata is equipped with both an Infrared Sensing System and a two-camera Downward Vision System. They help the aircraft maintain its current position, hover more precisely, fly indoors or in other environments where satellite navigation is unavailable, and identify areas such as bodies of water that are not suitable for landing. To remain oriented during flight while wearing goggles, DJI Avata and DJI Goggles 2 also display the Home Point where the drone took off from. This Augmented Reality (AR) perspective gives an extra sense of orientation to help the pilot locate the immediate environment in seconds.

An Immersive Flight Experience for Every Skill Level

DJI Avata allows pilots from beginners to professionals to choose from multiple flight modes to match their skill level:

Normal (N) Mode: During N mode operation, DJI Avata operates similarly to other DJI drones, hovering in place with the use of satellite navigation and/or visual positioning systems (VPS) on the bottom of the drone.

Manual (M) Mode: (only with the DJI FPV Remote Controller 2): Fly in M mode for complete, limitless control and the full FPV immersive flight experience. Experienced users can customize parameters and enjoy flight and footage unlike anything else.

Sport (S) Mode: A new hybrid blend of M and N mode, S mode offers some of the dynamic movement capabilities that come with M mode along with some of the key safety features of N mode. S mode is the middle step between the three modes and was developed to give pilots more room to explore their skills as they get accustomed to the drone.

Become an FPV Master With the DJI Virtual Flight App

DJI Avata is controlled with the DJI Fly app, which includes detailed tutorials on how to operate the drone. The DJI Virtual Flight App is a free simulator app that familiarizes new pilots with drone flying movements in an easy, fun and risk-free environment. The simulator allows pilots to fly DJI Avata in various settings using the dedicated controller.

Accessories to Boost Your Flight

An array of new DJI Avata accessories offers pilots extra technology to get the most out of every flight and make the most of their equipment:

  • DJI Avata Intelligent Flight Battery
  • DJI Avata Battery Charging Hub
  • DJI Avata Propellers
  • DJI Avata Upper Frame
  • DJI Avata Propeller Guard
  • DJI Avata ND Filters Set (ND8/16/32)
  • DJI 65W Portable Charger
  • DJI 65W Car Charger
  • DJI Goggles Carry More Backpack

DJI Avata is the easiest to fly and most exciting FPV immersive flight experience drone for anyone who ever dreamed of flying like a bird. It gives creators a transformational tool to confidently capture the rapturous feeling of flight, indoors or out. With the birth of DJI Avata, anyone can experience the thrilling experience of moving through the world unbound.

Best Lenses for Canon R7

The best lenses for the Canon R7 Camera. The camera features redesigned Canon 90D camera sensor and autofocus algorithm coming straight out of the Canon EOS R 3 camera. The camera features a blazing fast continuous shooting speed of 30 frames per second and with a mechanical shutter, you can shoot up to 15 frames per second. The Still Core specification of the camera is highly impressive as well as the video core specs, they literally allow you to record 10BIT videos internally in Canon log format.

In this post, we have selected the best available lenses for the Canon R7 camera. However, you can also use these lenses for the Canon R7 Camera too. We have selected the native RF and RF-S Lenses for the Canon R10 camera. And at the end of the article, we added third-party lenses for the Canon R7 camera.

1. Canon RF 18-150mm Lens 

Canon has recently announced the 8.3x APS-C zoom Lens for Canon R10 that packs in a useful 29-240mm (35mm equiv.) focal length range. It’s ideal for travel, wedding photography,  landscapes, garden wildlife, and sports – A perfect All-rounder lens.

This lens is an all-in-one lens for the Canon R7 camera. Perfect those who don’t want to change the lens every time need an all-in-one solution. The Lens also acts as a coverage lens when you are into wedding photography and helps you a lot when u are in travel, covers a wide range of 18mm to tele-end 150mm.

The lens features an STM motor, steeping drive motors are fast as well as silent. Perfect for recording videos and shooting still images too. The OIS in this lens is highly effective and works up to 4.5 Stops, or up to 6.5 stops with Coordinated IS when paired with a compatible camera. Making it a perfect choice for shooting sharp images in low light.

The price of this lens is $499 (B&H Store and Amazon.com) You can use this lens as a default lens for your Canon R10 camera.

2. Canon RF 16mm F2.8

Best for vloggers and content creators, the best lens is a 16mm F2.8 Lens. The 16mm F2.8 lens is the most affordable ultra-wide prime lens made for the Canon R7.

With the help of Canon RF 16mm F2.8 Lens and Canon R7 Sensor shift image stabilization features, you can create amazing vlogs even in low-light conditions.  The Image stabilization of the camera works very effectively and will help you to get stable footage inside ur camera.

$300 only, lightweight and relatively big enough aperture with macro focus distance It is a great ultra-wide angle lens that was inexpensive and produces great photos and is highly recommended for VLOGS. If you Did not have the budget for a more expensive ultra-wide angle lens. It does the job for a very low price.

Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM is a sleek everyday wide-angle prime. One aspherical element helps control distortion and promotes a high degree of sharpness. Super Spectra Coating, STM stepping motor offers fast, quiet, smooth, and accurate autofocus performance. Minimum focusing distance of 5.1″, along with a maximum magnification of 0.26x, Configurable Control Ring can be used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation

3. Canon RF 24mm F1.8 Macro IS STM Lens

I would say the 24mm F1.8 Macro STM lens is the most usable prime lens for a photographer with an APS-C Sensor based body like Canon R7. The eqv focal length of this lens is 38mm which is near the standard focal length of 35mm. The wide angle is ideal for landscape and street photography. This 24mm lens can be used for shooting family and friends’ portraits in a home in a low-light environment. Also perfect for capturing macro images due to its 1:2 magnification ratio and close-up shooting distance of 5.5 inches.

Perfect lens for YouTubers: You can also use this lens for your office and room vlogs, also perfect for food photography or vlogs with this lens. You have to just maintain 3 to 5 feet distance from your camera/rest your camera on a tripod,  make a 3 to 5 feet distance from the camera and start making your online content with excellent sharpness and creamy bokeh in the background.

The 24mm Lens also features OIS (Optical image stabilization), for the first time I have seen Canon giving us OIS features in Prime lenses like 24mm. The OIS is effective up to 5 stops, or 6.5 stops with coordinated IS, to better enable working handheld in low-light conditions and with slower shutter speeds. Whether you are creating videos with the lens or shooting still images the OIS help all the time.

The lens is available at $499 (B&H Store and Amazon.com) You will feel the price is high. But also think twice that it’s a Fullframe lens and will remain compatible with your camera even if you upgrade your camera to full frame. And despite being a 24mm Prime lens, the lens also features OIS and macro Capability, none of such features are available even in competitors’ lenses.

4. Canon RF 35mm F1.8 Macro IS STM

Perfect for professional-quality portraits with a Canon R7 camera. The Canon RF 35mm F1.8 when paired with Canon R7 gives you an equivalent focal length of 50mm Lens in full-frame format. So it actually will act as a 50mm F1.8 with optical image stabilization and macro capability.

The size of this lens is slightly larger than the 24mm F1.8, It measures  74.4 x 62.8 mm and weighs 305g. However, this is still relatively light and compact. The lens pairs very comfortably with the canon R10 camera and has a sleek look and feel. There is a focus switch on the side of the lens,  the lens does support full-time manual focus. That is, you can manually focus the lens by adjusting the focus ring even when the camera is set to autofocus.

The 35mm Lens allows you to set the MAX aperture to F1.8, which enables the lens to capture amazing low-light images in any conditions and generate pleasant, creamy bokeh-filled backgrounds. The lens features Super Spectra coating that has been applied to individual elements to reduce the ghosting and flare for greater contrast and color neutrality when working in strong lighting conditions.

$499 (Amazon.com | B&H Store) is the price of a 35mm F1.8 IS STM Macro lens, this is a very reasonable price lens if you look at its features. The lens is a Fullframe lens and features Macro capability as well as optical image stabilization. We highly recommend this lens for the Canon R10 camera.

5. Canon RF 50mm F1.8 STM Lens

If you are into portrait photography and looking for an affordable option the Canon RF50mm F1.8 Lens is best for you. The RF 50mm lens is equivalent to 85mm when paired with a Crop sensor camera like Canon R7.

The telephoto prime lens measures 69 x 40 mm and weighs 160 g. This makes it the lightest lens on our list, balancing well with the camera’s weight. To suppresses spherical aberrations Canon has introduced   One precision-molded (PMo) aspherical element inside this lens, it also upscaled the sharpness and accurate subject rendering.

The overall image quality is fantastic. You’ll love how easy it is to snap incredibly sharp, beautiful photos using this lens, and your subjects will love it even more. Although the lens has a limited Macro capability of 50cm, so if you want a better macro performing lens you have to buy the other two primes (24mm and 35mm) mentioned above in the list.

With a price tag of $199 (B&H Store | amazon.com) Canon RF 50mm, F1.8 STM Lens is the most affordable prime lens in RF lineup. The reason behind that is the lens doesn’t have the OIS like the other prime lenses as well as macro capability.

6. Canon 85mm F2 IS STM Macro

Canon 85mm F2 Macro  Lens features optical image stabilization as well as a stepping drive motor. The equivalent focal length of an 85mm lens on the Canon R7 body will be 136mm. It reminds me of Canon’s popular 100mm F2.8 Macro Lens. The lens can be used effectively when you want to capture wildlife beauty without disturbing them. 85mm (136mm on R10) will allow you to work from a distance and also Optical Image stabilization within. So, you can also take some amazing macro shots or portraits of models handheld.

The telephoto prime lens measures 78 x 90.5 mm and weighs 500 g. This makes it the largest and the heaviest lens on our list, Configurable Control Ring can be used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation. The rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.

The lens creates creamy bokeh at F2 and is perfect for portraits, I have used this lens with a Canon R5 camera and at F3.5 to 5.6 the lens produces razor-sharp images with an exceptional amount of details resolved through the sensor. With its macro capability, the lens is able to do 1:2 maximum magnification along with a minimum focusing distance of 1.15. And the Configurable Control Ring on this lens can be used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation.

The price tag $549 (B&H Store | amazon.com) price makes this lens one of the most costly prime lenses on our list. although with Optical image stabilization, Macro capability, Steeping drive motor, and rounded nine-blade diaphragm make this lens the perfect choice for professional photographers.

7. Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 USM

Prime lenses do give the best quality possible since they have minimal moving lens elements inside them optimized for best performance. However, zoom lenses like the 100-400 are also a worthwhile investment.

With prime lenses, if you want to have an optical crop you have to physically move toward your subject. This isn’t always possible depending on what or where you’re shooting. So, we have lenses like the 100-400mm (equivalent focal length  160mm – 640mm).

The resolving power of this lens is just amazing even when paired with the Canon R5 camera, lens features Max magnification up to .41X @ 400mm. So, it’s worthwhile to say the lens also has macro capability. To reduce the chromatic aberrations and color fringing throughout the zoom range the lens has One Ultra-Low Dispersion element. The lens features a built-in optical image stabilization system effective up to 4 stops when used with R10, and up to 6 stops of camera shake and Nano USM AF to promote faster focusing performance.

You have to pay $599 (B&H Store | Amazon.com) to get this lens, It may look pricy to you. But the sharpness, OIS, Bokeh, and AF performance are highly impressive. Equivalent to equivalent focal length  160mm – 640mm when used with APS-C body and 100-400 when used with Fullframe.
