Although it was not a long test, and I didn’t buy the product myself, on the test fly Avata still left me some deep impression.
The first thing catches my eye, is the design.
It looks really cool, and the 4 propellers are protected by plastic shields which prevent the damage of crashes directly hits the fan.
It is really light, I felt no problem to put it into my bags or other containers, and hold it around anywhere. However, it is not foldable, so it would take a lot of room in you bag.
The image quality is not the best, it features a wide angle lens, that allows you to capture a lot of your surroundings. However, I believe this kind of image would look cooler for only moving imageries, instead of relatively slow or still images. This is because the nature of wide-angle camera would distort the corners. The distortion would be good at presenting movements, but not still imageries(at least not for me).
Then it comes to the fly.
Until today, I have a two-year-experience in flying drones, but FPVs are just not my cup of tea. Due to their expensive price and relatively fixed image capability, I don’t own them, but I did rent them for a few times. I was always afraid of crashes, since they are too fast. This time, things got covered, physically covered. So, I was more courageous than ever to fly it myself.
here is how it feels like to fly.
Im not a good pilot, but I have to admit. It is easy to control, I got it, but the somatic controller feels weird to me, I prefer actual controllers. It reminds the flight experience in Zelda’s Skyward Sword using Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Con, which is also weird.
Before I finish, I have to talk about the new goggles. They are pretty good by themselves. If you are short sighted or far sighted, you can adjust the focal point of it. It is now much lighter. Most importantly, you can use it to … watch movies, yea, make it another screen.
You can cast your phone or laptops onto the goggles, which, to some extend, is useful for some.
That’s it from my short attempts, any thoughts guys?
