The majority of this video was filmed at 23.98, which, when placed with the 60 fps footage from the Avata 2, causes a feeling of stuttering once and a while. The stutter is only true to this video, but not for the raw footage from the drone.

    So awesome Nurk to see you again! Hope all is well with you and the family! Great Avata 2 Video! Saw a lot of them today and yours killed it! Cheers!
  • Have looked into almost everything on the big web about the avata 2, and no one made a video like this. It had everything i was missing. Nice to see a experienced pilot pushing the drone. Thank you
  • Probably the best overview of the Avata 2 I’ve seen. Really awesome to hear an actual FPV pilot’s thoughts on it. Great video man thank you.
  • Been following you since the early days and gotta say this is one of your best vids to date. It's obvious your passionate about your work and it shows in your vid's, thanks for making this content for all of us.
  • 😍Wow, I have finally found the video that I was looking for! Unlike other videos that have unwanted content, this one provides an in-depth review of the new Avata 2 and includes all the necessary comparisons. I am extremely grateful to the creator of this video for making it so informative and helpful. Thank you so much for your time and effort!👏✌
  • @nivimg
    Amazing that you tested Gyroflow. I know you followed the project from the beginning and it was such a good surprise to see it. Thank you for doing this video! Waiting for the O4 Air unit.
  • @daveo544
    I throughly enjoyed this video, I think I was having as much fun as you dudes. Really appreciate you putting it all together, definitely the best vid thus far on YouTube for the Avata 2. You’re a quality content creator, good onya. Absolute pleasure to watch!!!!!!! Thanks 🙏
  • @manski209
    Awesome review Nurk, i really enjoyed the mountain diving, great shots and great flying. I'm more of a walksnail Avatar guy but this Avata is really tempting me. Thank you for sharing.
  • @Blacksheep12267
    I know ya guys aren't fans of the motion control. Flying with it and head tracking is just wild. The hand controls is intuitive from too many hours of flying aircraft sims except the drone is so much more capable than a fixed wing It is a great immersive flight experience. It's what I imagined flying was like as a little kid. Just fun.
  • @EdEditz
    Got mine today. Already flew it and it's a blast!!
  • This review gave me an amazing and actual footage of what to expect from the avata 2 Thank you so much
