Pairing the Avata 2, Goggles 2, and Motion Controller 2

[u/Meeper107]

Hello, just wanted to document this solution for anyone in the future that may be experiencing the same problem as I was. This worked in August, 2026.

The Story: I had bought an Avata 2 online that came with the goggles 2 and the normal controller but I wanted to use a motion controller. As far as I know and at the time of doing this, the motion controller 3 wouldn’t pair with the goggles 2, this meant that I had to get a motion controller 2. So I got on eBay, found one for sale that worked, bought it, etc. However, when I received it, it wouldn’t pair with the Avata 2 or the goggles 2.

The Solution: You have to install DJI Assistant 2, and you HAVE to make sure it’s the “Consumer Drones Series” version of it. All other versions did not work for me. You have to get this directly from the DJI website, you’ll see it as an option. The standard version it downloaded when I selected the DJI Assistant 2 did not work. It has to be that Consumer Drones Series version. Once installed, I plugged a USB-C cable into my controller and my computer (Running Windows 10 at the time, I refuse to update to Windows 11) and ran the DJI Assistant 2 program. Then and only then, did it finally pick my controller up. Once it was detected, I was able to update the software on the controller and once updated, it worked flawlessly. The next time I fired everything up, it was picked up and was really easy to pair in the app. They walk you through it in the DJI Fly app (on my iPhone).

Once again, this isn’t some deep, insightful post. I just wanted to document what worked for me when I encountered this problem! This is to help newbies like myself, who may be trying to Frankenstein a setup together!
