Pro-View Combo vs Explorer Combo: What’s the Same?
Here’s a little secret: the DJI Avata Pro-View and Explorer Combos are actually largely the same. Both feature the same DJI Avata drone that delivers 4K/120fps video and up to 18 minutes of battery life, and both feature the new DJI RC Motion 2 that provides intuitive motion control.

Pro-View Combo vs Explorer Combo: What’s Different?
We’ve already established that both the Avata Pro-View and Explorer combos included the same drone and remote controller. That leaves us with one critical component that separates these two combos: the FPV goggles headset.
The DJI Avata Pro-View Combo includes the DJI Goggles 2, DJI’s flagship FPV goggles offering, whilst the DJI Avata Explorer Combo pairs the Avata drone with the new DJI Goggles Integra.
So, ultimately it comes down to one key factor: which pair of DJI FPV Goggles would you prefer to fly with? Let’s break down the key unique features of these two headsets.
DJI Goggles 2 vs DJI Goggles Integra
DJI Goggles 2
Key Exclusive Features: Adjustable diopters, Touchpad controls, wireless streaming
First introduced alongside the DJI Avata in late 2022, DJI Goggles 2 is DJI’s flagship FPV headset offering, packed with features for FPV flying. The lightest goggles headset yet, this headset is optimised for longer, more comfortable flights with a tight seal fit to prevent light leakage.
DJI Goggles 2 are also packed with advanced pro features including a built-in touchpad for gesture based controls of the DJI Fly app and wireless streaming support for secondary video monitoring - ideal for professionals.
The game-changing feature of the DJI Goggles 2 is its built-in adjustable diopters, allowing pilots to adjust the vision settings between 2.0 D to -8.0 D. These diopters make the Goggles 2 accessible to more pilots, especially those with minor vision impairments.
DJI Goggles Integra
Key Exclusive Features: Integrated battery design, 5D control button
The DJI Goggles Integra adopts a unique design featuring an integrated battery head strap design.

Which DJI Avata Combo Should I Buy?
DJI Avata Explorer Combo: Best for Beginners
With the fully integrated design of the DJI Goggles Integra included with the Explorer Combo, DJI have aimed to eliminate the fussy parts of FPV flying to make it more approachable for newcomers. This design makes it easier for first-time flyers to simply slip on the headset and fly, without having to worry about power cables and adjusting vision settings.
Price is also an important factor when making any purchase decision, and the Explorer Combo does take less of a hit on the pocket book with a lower retail price of $1809, over $200 cheaper than the $2039 retail price of the Pro-View Combo.
DJI Avata Pro-View Combo: Best for Versatility
If you’re looking to get the most out of the DJI Avata, the DJI Avata Pro-View Combo is definitely the way to go. This combo’s DJI Goggles 2 are better suited to experienced FPV pilots and provide added flexibility via their built-in adjustable diopters. These goggles are also lighter for all day flying and feature a removable battery, allowing pilots to swap out their used battery for a fresh one for longer flights.
