this is the dji evada courtesy of billy kyle his youtube channel be linked in the description
he's letting me try it out for the first time so this is gonna be my like first impressions
as i put the goggles on take off fly everything uh trying this out hey my name's jake and i test
and review lots of drones cameras lenses usually in alaska not today particularly
but uh and i give you the skills you need so that you can earn money from your video or photo work
today we're going to test out the dji avada and the new goggles which i'm most excited about these
because the oled screens um yeah super excited to try these things out holy crap those screens
oh my gosh
i like the diopter adjustments too
okay huge improvement with the screens on these
i can tell you that already all right here we go first flight out
man this flies way better than the dji fpv drone yeah they they made huge improvements into how
this thing flies over the dji fpv drone i hated the way that thing flew off the bout
home point nice having the home point yeah this flies so much better than the dji fpv
drone and these goggles are freaking awesome holy crap they're so good
it's not as loud as i thought it would be either
all right get back into manual mode
see this is the kind of flying cine whoops are made for low cruising around
and of course the other thing city whoops are great for is flying around trees
you don't have to worry about the hitting the little branches so much
that was close little low little low
of course i think the nicest thing feature about these things is the
pause button
that's impressive
that's the way hand catches okay so initial thoughts uh one it's i don't know 80 degrees
out here and it's especially for somebody from alaska it's really hot in the sun
and i've not had any fogging issues the whole time i was flying so there's that
with the goggles i will say the screen on these goggles and the view out of them is
a pretty big step up from even the v2 goggles definitely a huge step up from the v1 goggles
i hope they make these compatible with the air units the original air units and vistas other than
that the ipd the new adjustments here are really nice way easier to get it where i want it and and
make it look like it should you know get it get each eye centered and over each one really well
a lot of people i've heard have complained about the swipe thing
i literally came out this with i think i watched three videos about the evada when the date was
released and then i came out this with zero knowledge about how to get around the menus
with the swipe thing and it took me 10 seconds to figure it out and really i didn't think it was
that bad i guess i could see it being a little irritating if you're out flying and you've got
to go through the menu for some reason but then again that's why this drone has a position hold
set up where you just push a pause button it stops and uh sits there but these goggles are
they are so much nicer i really want some because they're so much smaller look how
small that is for travel like that's tiny this the whole reason i've been hesitant on buying
this drone is the amount of time it took me to get the dji fpv drone to fly the way i liked it
was a really long time and i even had to switch the propellers out and do a few other things to
like it really get it to fly where i was happy with how it flew and i still couldn't do a lot
of the stuff that i like to do but it does have nice range and endurance which is great this flies
completely differently if you're flying it like a cine whip and a cine whip is not meant to like do
flips and rolls and dives or anything like that they're meant to fly near near like through
obstacles around nearby obstacles nearby people because you can't hurt anybody with these ducks
and really low to stuff that's the whole point of these and also in a lot of cases just kind of slow
and getting a really you know really cinematic for lack of a better term and beautiful footage
and this uh dji really has nailed the way this thing flies it flies super smooth
it flies really well the footage from what i've seen on other people's channels and from a little
bit that i've messed with this now is uh much better than the dji fpv drone just because of
the new stabilization algorithms that they put in this um plus the newer sensor is it's obviously
larger and better and it just it looks a lot better and of course like having the
range and the battery life to really go you know out there and and find a big boat i mean
that was not a short distance and it wasn't a short flight super impressed
by this i probably am going to have to order one just because i feel like it's
it is that good and i know like ken original dobo told me it was i didn't really believe him
billy said he doesn't blame me for not believing him but i just i i i don't know i i feel like a
lot of times and i'm guilty of it too that when something first comes out a lot of us youtubers
get really excited about it and then after you spend some time with it you kind of like
uh it's still nice it's not like you were not honest on your initial review but it just the
newness wears off where uh and that's kind of what i was a little worried about with this but
um yeah for a cinewook for being able to do stuff like this and especially if it's you're gonna be
your first drone and you want to start flying fpv i guess a super a super solid way to do it because
it's reliable it's got a lot of safety features built in and uh and you don't have to spend
literally days scouring youtube for people like joshua bardwell's videos trying to figure out how
to troubleshoot something that you don't even know what it is and you're just hoping to randomly run
into yeah if it does this this is probably the cause because i have a lot of experience doing
that and spending days and days and days trying to hunt down and troubleshoot one stupid little
problem that turned out to be super simple but because i didn't know what i didn't know about
fpv at the time i really didn't even know what to look for or what to ask for or even
how to kind of go about finding it so if you're wanting to jump into fpv and uh especially if you
have you done acro with this a little bit yeah okay so it will do i mean we'll do acro but uh
i just for anybody who does hardcore acro this is not gonna be the drone for you like this they're
not built to do that although i mean it apparently can handle it so i might go out and try a little
bit but i'm a little scared to put billy's trunk in their river and then have to have to grow
yeah apparently if you crash it that many times i'm gonna fly this a little bit more uh just to
you know see if i want to take back anything i just said about it and hopefully not crash it for
the 40th time so billy's saying and you can see some on his youtube channel and on ken's youtube
channel uh original adobo's youtube channel that he's already crashed this two really hard times
three really hard times and dozens of other types and you haven't replaced anything so and i mean
other than yeah you can see some scuffs and stuff it's there's no cracks in the plastic the props
aren't even really chewed up at all i mean that's impressive that all right i might have to get one
sorry dang it if you want to see how other drones compare or specifically how the dji fpv drone is
you're going to want to watch this video right here as always if you have questions ask me in
the comments below or you can join my live stream that happens most wednesday nights
from 4 pm alaska time or 8 pm eastern i will see you again soon in the next video
