It features a significant upgrade for its aerial performance, featuring the RC-N2 remote controller, a New Image-Processing Platform, dual-native ISO function, and a noteworthy 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor.

Avata 2 will feature improvements to its sensors and cameras that will deliver better quality to its footage, alongside a reworked propeller system, alongside the Goggles 3 which not only offer FPV experiences, but a possible Passthrough for the view on the ground.
