so ive had the original Avata for about a year and a half now, mostly use it for indoor fpv stuff, tight spaces, warehouse shoots occasionally, that kind of thing. buddy of mine just got the Avata 2 and wont stop talking about it but honestly i cant tell from specs alone whether the upgrade makes sense for how i actually fly.

the obstacle avoidance on the original is already kind of a joke indoors anyway, im usually flying in manual or at least with stabilization only, so idk how much the improved sensors on the v2 actually matter. battery life looks a bit better on paper but id have to see it in real conditions. does the image quality difference actually show up in tight indoor environments or is that more of an outdoor thing where you have more light to work with

not in a rush to buy anything just trying to figure out if anyone who had the first one made the jump and actually felt the difference day to day

made exactly that switch about four months ago. honestly the image quality thing is real even indoors ? the low light performance on the 2 is noticeably better and if youre doing warehouse stuff that actually matters a lot. the original would get pretty noisy in anything below decent lighting. that said if youre heavy into manual flying the flight characteristics arent dramatically different, it still flies like an Avata, just slightly snappier response.

the battery improvement is real too but probably 10-15% more in practice rather than what the spec sheet implies. i dont regret it but if youre happy with your footage quality right now its not a must-do upgrade, more of a nice-to-have.

the obstacle avoidance indoors is basically useless on both lol dont even factor that in. i kept mine
