I got the 3 battery combo that comes with the goggles and the motion controller.
I tried flying with the goggles on my head multiple times but every time I get terrible motion sickness. Even 30 minutes of flying makes me feel sick for hours afterward.
Now the only way I can fly is by connecting the goggles to my phone with a USB cable, then setting both on a table and flying while watching the phone screen. I think it’s because I can still see my surroundings, and that stops the sickness. Blocking all outside vision with the goggles makes it much worse for me.
So at this point, my goggles are basically just acting like a fancy antenna to connect the drone, controller, and screen.
From what I’ve read, it sounds like you have to use the goggles with the Avata 2 because they are what connects everything. But if I’m wrong and there’s another way, I’d love to know.
I really wish I could just use a handheld controller with an external screen and skip the goggles completely. If that’s not possible, does anyone have ideas for how to mount the goggles and phone without needing a table?
Some people just get sick from using VR like that. How many times have you tried it? I remember feeling weird after one battery too. Sometimes I still get a little dizzy, but it got better over time.

I’ve tried at least 10 times. I even forced myself a few times hoping I’d get used to it. But the sickness didn’t change at all. So now I just use the screen setup instead of wearing the goggles.

VR sickness is something you can slowly adjust to.
The trick is not to push too hard. Just fly for a few minutes — even 3 to 10 — if that’s all you can take. Then slowly add more time as you go. Forcing it only makes it worse.
Two other things that help:
Always sit while flying.
Turn off head tracking mode — that seems to be a big cause of motion sickness.
DJI has said they might support the RC2 or RCN2 in the future, but I wouldn’t count on it.
Honestly, you might be better off selling your setup and getting a drone like the Flip, Mini 4 Pro, or Air 3S. Those work well with regular controllers and give you more options than the Avata 2, even if DJI adds support later.
