DJI Avata 2: The Ultimate FPV Drone for Immersive Aerial Filming in the UK
At Drone Discovery Ltd, we’re always on the lookout for tools that help us push creative boundaries while delivering consistent, high-quality results for our clients. That’s why last year we added the DJI Avata 2 to our fleet—because when it comes to cinematic FPV (First-Person View) drone work, nothing strikes the balance between performance, safety, and creative freedom quite like it.
What sets the Avata 2 apart for us isn’t just its agility or immersive flight capabilities—it’s how it enables us to offer dynamic fly-throughs, sweeping interior reveals, and high-energy event footage with a level of polish and reliability that FPV drones often lack. Designed to be fast, responsive, and remarkably stable, it gives us the flexibility to deliver visually striking content without compromising on image quality or safety.
We use the Avata 2 in a range of ways and always with exceptional results. From estate agents and creative agencies to venue owners wanting to show off their space in a fresh, exhilarating way, the Avata 2 helps us turn our clients' vision into an unforgettable visual journey.
Compact, Tough, and Built for Flow
The DJI Avata 2 maintains the core strengths of its predecessor—lightweight build, protected propellers, and nimble performance—while refining the experience for both pilots and viewers. It’s slightly larger than the original Avata, with a more aerodynamic design that improves stability, especially in tight interior environments. Crucially for commercial use, it’s designed with ducted fans that make it safer to fly indoors or near people—ideal for FPV tours through venues, showrooms, or architectural spaces.
Its durable build means accidental knocks are less of a disaster, and the improved battery life gives you more air time to choreograph the perfect route.
A Camera That Punches Above Its Weight
At the heart of the Avata 2 is a 1/1.3-inch image sensor—significantly improved from the first-generation model. This sensor captures 4K video at 60fps (frames per second) and supports 10-bit D-Log M for superior dynamic range and colour grading flexibility. That means you’re not just getting smooth, fast-moving footage—you’re getting rich, cinematic visuals that hold up in professional post-production.
The ultra-wide lens delivers a 155° field of view, giving that immersive, eye-level perspective FPV is known for. And thanks to DJI’s RockSteady and HorizonSteady stabilisation tech, even complex flight paths result in smooth, fluid footage with minimal post-edit correction.
Flight Experience: Intuitive and Immersive
Pair the Avata 2 UAV with the DJI Goggles 3 and RC Motion 3 controller and you unlock a new dimension of flying. The combination creates an intuitive control system that feels more like gaming than piloting a traditional drone. With head-tracked camera movement and hand-gesture-based steering, it’s incredibly easy to fly with precision—even for newcomers to FPV.
For professional operators and creative teams, this means fast deployment, fewer retakes, and the ability to capture spontaneous, dynamic moments with ease.

Ideal for Commercial and Creative Use
The Avata 2 is a perfect fit for venue marketing, event videography, and branded content creation. Whether flying through the rooms of a wedding venue, chasing a mountain biker through a wooded trail, or gliding over a bustling exhibition space, it delivers a perspective that traditional drones can’t quite match.
More importantly, it helps businesses tell stories. An FPV fly-through invites viewers into a space in a way that’s both cinematic and deeply engaging, making it ideal for use on websites, in promotional videos, and across social media.
