Just tested my Avata 2 extensively indoors after reading conflicting reports about GPS-free stability. Flight conditions: 15m x 10m warehouse, complete GPS isolation, various lighting levels from bright overhead LED to near-darkness.

Results: Significantly improved over Avata 1. Even in very dim conditions (single 40W bulb), drone maintained position well with minimal drift. Only lost stability in complete darkness - started drifting after 30 seconds with notable oscillation.

Vision sensors perform exceptionally well compared to original Avata. Anyone else done similar controlled testing? Curious about your lighting thresholds for stable hover.

Matches my experience completely - the Avata 2 performs "A LOT better" indoors than Avata 1, especially in dark environments. I've noticed the vision positioning system kicks in much faster and holds position more reliably even with moderate lighting changes.

What specific lighting levels caused issues? I'm planning warehouse inspections and need to know minimum lux requirements. Also, did you test with different surface textures below the drone?

Be careful with lateral movements - the Avata 2 "tilts the drone a lot more" during sideways translation. I've found you need gentler stick inputs indoors to prevent excessive banking, especially in tight spaces.
