DJI Goggles Integra and RC Motion 2 for the Avata FPV Drone Released

DJI has just released two new accessories for its compact Avata FPV drone: the DJI Goggles Integra and the RC Motion 2 remote controller. The Goggles Integra are more affordable than the Goggles 2 but have a lot of similarities; you only lose the wireless features on the Integra. The RC Motion 2 replaces the DJI Motion Controller and features motion-sensing technology and an upgraded joystick. So let’s take a closer look at these new accessories and take your next DJI Avata to the next level!

The DJI Avata is a compact and lightweight FPV drone introduced in August 2022. The main advantages of the Avata over “DIY” FPV drones are that it comes fully equipped, has a robust wireless video transmission system, and you don’t have to attach a third-party camera to it. In short, it is ready to fly out of the box. Furthermore, this drone can fly for up to 18 minutes and capture video up to 4K at 60fps or 2.7K 120p, which is impressive for a drone weighing 410g/0.92lbs.

At launch, the Avata was compatible with the DJI Goggles 2 which was launched simultaneously. Also, the drone was controlled using the DJI Motion Controller that was introduced with the DJI FPV drone that we reviewed. DJI is now back with the Goggles Integra, a more budget-friendly option if you are starting in the FPV world but want to maintain quality and features, as well as the DJI RC Motion 2.

DJI Goggles Integra – features

Let’s start with the DJI Goggles Integra, which has a lot of similarities to the Goggles 2, including:

  • The same two HD 1080p Micro-OLED screens with a maximum brightness of 700nits, a 100 Hz refresh rate, and TÃœV Rheinland Low Blue Light Certification.
  • DJI O3+ video transmission technology with a low 30 ms latency.
  • Foldable antennas and a 2-hour battery life.
  • The built-in GPS allows you to fly without connecting to a smartphone.

So what is different? First, the DJI Goggles Integra are heavier at 410g/0.92lbs (290g/0.64lbs for the Goggles 2), but the headband and battery are now merged into one unit.

You no longer have to connect the goggles to the external battery with a cable. According to DJI, “the built-in battery headband is light, balanced, and incredibly comfortable.”

Next, the touch panel of the Goggles 2 is replaced with physical buttons on the Goggles Integra. The diopter adjustment function, wireless streaming function, dot matrix display, speaker, and 3.5mm audio port have been removed from the Goggles Integra. The Integra comes with multiple diopters, but you must change them manually.

DJI RC Motion 2 – features

The DJI RC Motion 2 replaces the DJI Motion Controller and will now become the standard included controller with the Avata.

This updated version now features an upgraded joystick and accelerator with a reverse function to support multidirectional flight.

On the left side of the RC Motion 2, the tilt switch has been replaced with a Function dial that lets you adjust camera settings such as ISO or shutter speed. But how do you control the Tilt axis of the Avata?

The DJI RC Motion 2 now features motion sensors, so your hand movements control the Avata’s flight direction. As a result, the flight experience should be as immersive as ever.
