both goggle and drone are last gen, but for the price i can't complain.
Was this 2k when it was released? I swear it was.
Imagine having this just a few hundred years ago!
WW2 Resistance fighters hide a drone in a barn loft, sending it up at night to count German convoys without risking a scout.
WW1 Instead of risky observation balloons, trench commanders fly it above no-man’s-land at dawn to see fresh barbed wire placements.
1800s (Napoleonic era): Aerial views of battlefield smoke plumes let generals distinguish friend from foe, something almost impossible from horseback.
1700s (Age of Sail): During a storm, a naval captain launches it from the quarterdeck to locate safe harbors hidden behind reefs.
1600s (Scientific Revolution): Natural philosophers use it to map river deltas and publish the first truly accurate estuary diagrams.
1400s (Renaissance): Florentine architects send it above cathedrals to refine dome geometry that otherwise required years of scaffolding.
1200s (Mongol expansion): Scouts employ it to trace caravan trails across Central Asia, making supply routes more predictable than ever.
1000s (Viking age): Norse navigators check from above for monasteries or undefended river mouths to target during summer raids.
500s (Byzantine empire): Engineers fly it around Constantinople’s Theodosian Walls to spot weak mortar joints without risking climbers.
0 AD (Roman empire): Legionaries use it to reconnoiter dense German forests before committing to ambush-prone terrain.
30 AD Crossing the Sea of Galilee: It could track the disciples’ boat in the storm, giving Jesus awareness of their struggle before He walked out to them.
1000 BC (Iron Age Levant): City-states deploy it to monitor harvest fields and detect rival raiding parties long before they reach the gates.
2000 BC (Bronze Age Aegean): Minoan sailors fly it to scout volcanic islands, recording smoke plumes as warnings of eruption.
3000 BC (Early Dynastic Egypt): Overseers check alignment of pyramid foundations with the Nile’s seasonal floodplain from the sky.
4000 BC (Sumerians: Farmers fly it along newly dug canals to confirm water flow patterns, ensuring their barley fields survive the hot season.
Yep it was $2k I bought it on release from these guys.
TLDR drones in history could be useful
You forgot 0 AD someone flying the drone leading the 3 wise men astray. Someone else could have been the messiah; or at least gotten his baby shower gifts like Brian.
Could have flown into the cave to see where Jesus really went?
base'd
Methinks someone has got wayyyy too much time on their hands but I like it as you think or daydream my sorta wavelength.
You could’ve had it, but I don’t know how you would’ve recharged it.
Avata drone only is also available for $387 https://www.digidirect.com.au/catalog/product/view/id/79777/…
the dji goggles 2 worth more than the price difference
Yeah only issue with them is they were rapidly replaced with the Googles 3 and won't work with any newer drones so this combo is kind of a dead end if you want to upgrade. Great entry price for learning FPV if you want to though…
Goggles 2 appear to now work with Avata 2 after firmware update.

@bteq: Wow that's good on dji. Now I can buy a used fpv and upgrade to Avata 2 should I crash my avata
@krisspy: a used fpv goggles 2 price is similar as this combo. if you don't want the drone you can sell it for a few hundred
@RichardF89: I've already got the goggles 2, I want the OG fpv drone (flying potato) and Avata 2. Just waiting to crash my Avata 1
Ive had the V1s V2s with the DJI Drone ( original large fpv ) the avata with these goggles and now avata 2 with the smaller ones. ( wasn't a brag, just to be more concrete with my opinion ).
the price and the fact its a combo is a very good price for new.. ive seen these sell for just shy of 1K for combo still and goggles alone for over $400 AUD
goggles are definitely versatile.. ive used them with full custom build FPV with the Dji FPV module. and ive attached a analog adapter to the side for the little micros to fly around the house and annoy my Wife and Pets with..
i like the new goggles but these feel so much more comfortable and love the design.
again. great starter into the hobby for sure. you crash you get up. dust off and continue.. the original avata is pretty robust.
just enjoy the hobby.. and if you have never done Manual FPV.. for god sake learn on the Sim first 😁 it is cheap and you can crash a million times before you work out if it is something you wanna do.
once you get it. and the adrenaline kicks in its hard to beat. i dont fly every day.. not even every week.. but when i do… 😩🤤🤤🤤
Now coming up as $769

Cheers mate.
I’ve been wanting to move from my DJI Spark into FPV. With the firmware update making Avata 2 compatible with Goggles V2 and RC Motion Gen 2, this seems like the perfect time. Thanks OP!
Damn I bought the Avata for $2k when it first came out
Don’t forget 1% TopCashback to get $7.19 back.
how is this compare to mini 3 for $200 more
Apples and Oranges. Avata’s more for that fast, first-person racing vibe (POV), while the Mini 3 is all about easy, smooth shots.
So this one would not be good for video shots?
This one is going to be best for fast paced action shots. The mini 3 is more for the general slow paced overview video/photo shots.
Is it oos? The link isn't working for me.
just keep trying. It took me about 20 attempts to get through to the actual payment stage last night.
I think there's some confusion in this thread between the goggles v2 (comes with this bundle), and the goggles 2. The Avata 2 received an update to work with Goggles 2 NOT the Goggles V2 that comes with this bundle.
Thanks for clarifying mate. You’re right! Oh well, I think I’ll enjoy flying the Avata 1, and wait for Avata 2 to eventually reach a similar pricepoint in 1-2 years.
This chart is handy to follow what is and isn’t compatible across the product line:

Yep just had mine cancelled too
Rang to find out when mine was going to be posted as I hadn’t received a cancelled order email since ordering a week ago. I was told they could for fill the order. Money refunded. Not happy. I wonder what would’ve happened if I didn’t ring.
Considering how versatile Goggle v2's are, would this be worth it as a gateway into fpv?
So far any Aussie FPV stores are either out of stock in most parts, and the secondhand market has people selling ~10 year old equipment for the price they bought it or higher
