Jakarta, Gizmology – As a vendor that is better known for camera devices such as action cameras and drones, DJI always presents new options for content creators who are currently increasingly diverse. The newest device, the DJI Avata, comes as a first-person view drone, aka FPV, which can be controlled with a special goggle.
FPV drone options in the market itself are not as many as conventional drones, which incidentally are cheaper and easier to control. However, drone types such as the DJI Avata can provide a more immersive effect, as if the drone controller can see or experience the flying process directly from the device camera.
Interestingly, consumers in Indonesia do not have to wait long for the presence of this latest DJI drone. Erajaya Active Lifestyle as the official distributor of DJI devices, has directly opened pre-orders for the DJI Avata since August 25, 2022. It comes in two different packages and can be obtained both online and offline through the DJI Official Store.
