okay so i primarily fly indoors, like warehouses, empty buildings, that kind of thing, mostly cinematic stuff not racing. i have the original Avata and honestly i have no real complaints except the image quality which feels a bit soft when i grade it. been looking at the Avata 2 and the sensor upgrade seems genuinely meaningful but im not sure if its worth selling my whole kit for. the obstacle avoidance on the original is kind of annoying indoors anyway since i end up turning it off half the time. does the Avata 2 handle tighter spaces better or is it roughly the same footprint? also does anyone know if the goggles 3 are a big enough jump from goggles 2 to matter or am i just going to notice it for like a week and then not care

the footprint is basically the same, maybe marginally different but nothing that changes how you fly it through doorframes or anything like that. the image quality jump is real though, especially if you shoot in D-Log M, indoor footage especially benefits because you get a lot more to work with in the highlights when you're mixing artificial light sources. goggles 3 i honestly couldn't tell you, i skipped the upgrade and kept my goggles 2 and dont feel like im missing much day to day

if you're already turning off obstacle avoidance anyway then the sensor improvement on the Avata 2 is probably the main thing you'd be paying for, which is actually a pretty good reason to upgrade if image quality is your bottleneck. that said selling a full kit always hurts more than you think it will once you factor in what you actually get back for used gear. i sold my original setup and kind of regretted not keeping at least the goggles as a backup
