DJI Avata 360: what was known before the launch of the first 360° camera FPV
Before DJI's official launch, set for March 26, 2026, PickDrones gathered what had leaked about the Avata 360, and I found the overview interesting for anyone who follows the FPV world. To be clear, none of it was confirmed by DJI when the article was written on March 4.
The idea is for it to be DJI's first FPV drone with a 360° camera, following the line of the DJI FPV and Avata. The leaks pointed to panoramic video at 8K/60fps with HDR and a possible single-camera mode, in which the main sensor would work like a conventional camera. The weight was expected to be a bit heavier than the Avata 2, which weighs 377 g.
There was also talk of O4 transmission, a cinewhoop design with full spherical protection around the propellers, and four to six forward obstacle sensors. Estimated prices in China were 2,988 yuan for the drone and battery alone, 3,988 with the RC 2 controller, and 5,688 for the Fly More Combo, plus a bundle with DJI Goggles N3 at around 1,200 dollars. The main competitor would be the Insta360 Antigravity A1, at around 1,599 dollars, and the Avata 360 would cost less than half as much.
For Brazil, the author estimated R$ 4,000 to R$ 5,500 for the basic model. He also points out that above 250 g, ANAC registration and insurance are required, and that FPV flying requires direct line of sight or an observer.
Personally, I like seeing the cinewhoop category get such an affordable option, but since much of the text rests on leaks, it's worth checking the final specifications on DJI's website before deciding on any purchase.
