Banning DJI is silly non-sense.

If indeed this thing doesn't include one, personally that would be a hard pass for me unless you already own one. Flying a dedicated FPV drone with a motion controller is an absolute waste of potential.
As far as the Avata, I have one, but the durability claims dji makes are a bit of a joke. This thing absolutely cannot be flown like a traditional cinewhoop. The electronics onboard will not survive even mild impacts with hard interior surfaces.
Mine hardly gets flown and I regret purchasing it. My dji FPV is my go to outdoor "light freestyle" and my favorite cruiser. The FPV is a better aircraft overall in my opinion, but no dji models are appropriate for true proximity freestyle or indoor FPV flight due to cost and durability. Leave that to hobbyist models.

I really wanted to love the newer goggles but my wide IPD* made it so I could not see the small HUD elements in the lower and upper corners in their new design. The older goggles that shipped with the FPV drone , while a bit bigger, had completely different optics and to me they read clearly edge-to-edge. I think the biggest thing I miss not having the latest design is the new head tracking features though.
*my IPD is 69, well within their "IPD range so I call BS on their optics range specs.
same..
I have my stuff rooted as well
The avata goggles are oled and have much more detail, the FPV goggles have a higher refresh rate (dji might have increased the refresh rate on goggles2 by now idk.. )
It's all preference, but there's also a chart on which stuff all will work together ..
I'm kinda watching and waiting right now, I have been wanting to buy another avata but with this ban looming i think this might just be the first price drop with more to come before it goes into effect.. I do think there might be a run on some of this stuff, but dji kinda saturates the market with their iphone-esque release schedule trying to get people to spend 1k/year on the newest stuff that has diminished in being worth upgrading to year-over-year for a while... I am gonna keep my mavic 1 (best one for hacking into and software modding) .. .the FPV because it's just ... fun to fly a 100mph brick...
i have wanted an avata to do more "artistic shots" for various facets of hobby/job stuff.
and then my p4p (also hacked) but it's still the best mapping drone dji has made imo. and the best in low light for video.
I think i'll take my chances. I'll be happy with what i already have, the avata would be fun.. it'll be more fun at a lower price.
