    Description:
    Looking to get into FPV drones? The DJI Avata 2 is a superb option for beginners, and right now Amazon has a range of record-low prices on a range
    of combos.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Last week, I featured a record-low price cut on Amazon for our favorite beginner drone, the DJI Mini 4K. That one proved popular, and I've just spotted another excellent entry-level drone deal. This time, it's the excellent DJI Avata 2 on Amazon for $579.99 (was $687) , which is a fantastic choice if you want to get into FPV drones specifically.

    That's the price of the drone-only option, but I'd recommend going for the
    Fly Smart combo at Amazon for $789 (was $929) , which is particularly good value. With this combo, you get a pair of DJI goggles, the RC Motion 3 controller, and three batteries, which gives you everything you need to get started with first-person flying right out of the box.

    While a little pricier than some of the options today, the Fly Smart's included batteries are particularly good value since they usually cost $150
    to $199 each when bought separately. Each battery will roughly get you an extra 26 minutes of flight time, so they're essential if you're planning on taking your drone out in the field for extended periods. Record-low DJI Avata 2 deal at Amazon

    Today's discounts at Amazon bring the excellent DJI Avata 2 down to its
    lowest ever price. If you're looking for an easy entry point into the world
    of FPV drones, then this is a fantastic option, with its intuitive flight-assistance features, 4K 60fps video, and a generous 26 minutes of flight time. Today's deals include the drone-only option, but I'd recommend the Fly Smart Combo if you can afford to spend a little extra, since that
    will get you the Googles, a controller, and three batteries for an overall discounted price. View Deal See more : check out all of today's drone deals

    FPV drones are notoriously difficult to pilot for beginners, but the DJI
    Avata 2 is a great option if you're looking to dip your toes in the water.
    Our full DJI Avata 2 review in particular praised its ease of use for beginners.

    For example, if you're just looking for stress-free piloting, then you can simply fly with the Avata's Normal mode, which includes auto return and take-off, as well as collision detection. If you feel more confident, then
    the Sport mode allows you to take more direct control of the drone with quicker flight speeds.

    There is also a manual mode with full control, but we found the Avata to be best suited for the more restricted modes, as similar drones in the FPV category offer better handling. With that said, the Avata 2 is very impressive, with the 1/3" sensor offering crisp 4K footage up to 60fps and
    the option for slo-mo-ready 1080p at 120fps.
