TL;DR: Easy FPV for beginners, durable; but expensive batteries, limited freestyle.

I use the Avata 2 in normal mode with the controller 3. It’s quite easy. I always ask the realtor what kind of flight path they want and just do what they ask (maybe a few suggestions).

Hey guys, I have an Avata 2 and I'm planning to purchase an Air 3s. I'd like to step into the Real Estate media world to make some profit from what I like most. My question is can I use the Goggles 3 with Air 3s? I know the A3 is compatible but can't find useful info about A3s. If it compatible with what controller? Thanks a bunch.

That price is completely ridiculous. But it’s a super fun drone with some great capabilities.

Custom freestyle quad with AvionRC IKON 2.5 frame and DJI air unit O4 Pro. So much fun in such a small package and easy enough to repair when crashed. My second drone is an Avata 2. That one is also great fun for smoot cinematic flight with the head tracking and the motion controller.

I have this and a neo both in a small bag that also holds the motion control, FPV control and goggles as well as a 3 battery charger for both. It's so incredibly compact it's wonderful compared to my earlier drones. And not needing a phone at all and being able to share the controls across both drones is amazing.

For the outside shots, you want Drone with a mechanical shutter at this point that’s the Mavic 3M or matrice enterprise. The matrice is higher res and has much more sophisticated software to facilitate 2D and 3-D mapping and flyovers and such for the interior shots you’re gonna wanna lean towards possibly a flip or avata 2 which will give you great maneuverability inside and still work well without needing GPS which you will not have under the roof of the house

I agree with u/Own_Shine_5855; you need to tell us what you want to do in this hobby. If you want to fly a DJI Avata 2, then go for it. If you want to fly FPV freestyle, like many of the cool YouTube vids show, you will frequently crash. The time spent fixing crashes will dwarf the time doing the initial build , so if building once is prohibitively unpleasant, then it is likely that you'll find the hobby unpleasant since there will be a large amount of crashing. So tell us what has you interested in the hobby, and we can give you better advice about drones that will work for you, or if you just need to bite the bullet and gain some drone building skills. If the latter (e.g. you like the freestyle vids), don't despair; there are some great kits out there and excellent video tutorials that will walk you through every step.
