DJI has stepped into the growing 360-degree FPV space with the new Avata 360, and it’s clearly aiming at creators who want more flexibility from their footage. The idea is simple on paper: capture everything in one go, then decide the framing later.

The Avata 360 uses a dual-lens setup with 1/1.1-inch square CMOS sensors. Each one has relatively large 2.4 μm pixels, which should help in tricky lighting. DJI claims up to 120MP stills and 8K 60fps HDR video in full 360 mode. There’s also a single-lens mode for more traditional 4K 60fps recording if you don’t need the full spherical view.

What makes this kind of camera interesting is what happens after shooting. Since the drone captures everything around it, you can reframe shots later, pick different angles, or even create multiple clips from a single flight. It’s not entirely new as a concept, but having it on a compact FPV drone does make it more usable in day-to-day shooting.

DJI is also bringing over its usual flight tech. The Avata 360 uses the O4+ transmission system, offering a 1080p 60fps live feed with a claimed range of up to 20km. There’s omnidirectional obstacle sensing as well, which should make flying a bit less stressful, especially in tighter environments. Features like ActiveTrack 360° and Spotlight Free are included too.

A few practical touches stand out. The front lens can be replaced if it gets damaged, there’s 42GB of built-in storage, and Wi-Fi 6 helps speed up file transfers. Flight time is rated at up to 23 minutes, and the drone weighs about 455 grams.

DJI launched the Avata 360 on March 26, with availability starting in China and wider rollout expected soon. Pricing sits around £409 or €459, which feels fairly aggressive for what’s being offered.

The post DJI Avata 360 goes official: 8K 360° recording, 23-min flight time appeared first on Gizmochina.

According to the latest information from leaker Jasper Ellens, several European retailer listings have revealed possible pricing for the upcoming DJI Avata 360 and its bundles. The base model is reportedly listed at €459, which would make it relatively affordable compared to other high-end 360-degree camera drones.

Several bundle options are also expected. One version, the Avata 360 Fly More Combo with the RC 2 controller, is said to cost €939. Another configuration, called the Motion Fly More Combo, includes the RC Motion 3 controller and Goggles N3, also priced at €939. A higher-end Premium Combo, which includes Goggles N3 and the RC 2 controller, is listed at around €1,159.

Accessories appear fairly reasonably priced as well. Leaked listings suggest the Intelligent Flight Battery may cost about €79, while replacement lens kits and propellers could be sold separately for around €21 and €9, respectively.

If these details are accurate, DJI may be aiming to compete directly with drones like the Insta360 Antigravity A1, particularly by keeping entry pricing relatively low while still offering features such as replaceable lenses and larger batteries.

A recent teasers from DJI also hints at some of the drone’s capabilities. The company described the Avata 360 as an “8K Flagship 360° Drone,” confirming support for 8K 360° video recording. The teaser also reveals a launch date of March 26, 2026, while current leaks suggest shipments in Europe could begin around April 9.

Meanwhile, a few hands-on images shared online have offered an early look at the drone’s design. The photos show a compact quadcopter with a protective propeller cage and a central camera system designed for dual-lens 360-degree capture.

The overall shape appears somewhat similar to the DJI Avata 2, although the frame looks slightly more protective.

DJI may soon return to the spotlight in the FPV drone space, and early leaks suggest the company is preparing something a little different this time. If the latest information proves accurate, the next Avata model could make 360-degree aerial capture far more accessible than it has been so far.

Details about the rumored drone, widely expected to be called the DJI Avata 360, have surfaced through several leaks from known DJI watcher Jasper Ellens. According to the leak, the drone-only version could start around $499, which would put it below the current Avata 2, typically priced at around $600. That alone would make it one of the more affordable entries into the growing 360 FPV category, where competitors such as the Insta360 Antigravity A1 sit at noticeably higher prices.

Ellens has also said that leaked promotional images and packaging circulating online appear to be genuine. Those images reveal a few practical features as well. For example, the drone is expected to support replaceable lenses, with a two-pack reportedly costing around $50 or €50. The lenses appear to use a simple screw-in design, which should make quick replacements possible after scratches or minor crashes.

Battery pricing may also be more approachable. Spare Intelligent Flight Batteries are rumored to cost about $70 or €70, each with a 38.6 Wh capacity. That would actually be larger than the 31.8 Wh battery used in the Avata 2, which could translate to longer sessions in the air.

As for the drone itself, the design shown in leaks suggests a compact body with cinewhoop-style propeller guards, similar to earlier Avata models. The key difference would be the addition of 360-degree imaging, possibly through a dual-camera setup.

DJI has already started teasing something new on social media, hinting at “an all-new dimension of aerial creativity.” According to Ellens, another teaser is expected on March 12, with more promotional material likely to follow.

The post DJI Avata 360 could make 360 FPV drones much more affordable, suggests new leak appeared first on Gizmochina.

DJI’s long-rumored Avata 360 has just surfaced in another leak, bringing fresh information about its regional launch timing, early design cues, and the pricing tiers. The latest leak comes ahead of the official debut of the next generation 360 capable tiny drone. So here are all the details.

DJI Avata 360 Launching with a Competitive Price Tag?

According to the latest images circulating from sources like DroneXL and insider leaks, the drone is expected to be offered in at least three configurations at launch:

• Base drone only with one battery: around 2,988 Yuan (roughly 435 US Dollars)
• Drone + RC 2 controller combo: around 3,988 Yuan (roughly 575 US Dollars)
• Fly-More bundle with three batteries, a charging hub, a carry case and a choice of RC 2 or Goggles N3: around 5,688 Yuan (roughly 825 US Dollars)

This tiered pricing strategy could make the Avata 360 considerably more accessible than some premium 360-drone rivals while giving buyers options based on how much gear they want right out of the box.

Launch Timeline

Leaks point toward DJI staging a China-centric launch for the Avata 360 in March 2026, possibly followed by a separate global unveiling a couple of weeks later. This pattern would mirror earlier DJI rollouts where China got first access before a broader release. Rumors also hint at review units already making their way to influencers and tech reviewers via DJI’s beta app.

Design Elements

A series of leaked photos and packaging renders hint at a distinctive design for the Avata 360, built around dual camera modules and a device footprint optimized for 360° capture. Some leaks even show the drone with a rotating camera unit that could help transition between traditional FPV and full-sphere 360° shooting modes.

The post DJI’s Avata 360 Drone Just Leaked: Pricing, Launch Timeline & Design Details appeared first on Gizmochina.

A fresh leak has surfaced online showing DJI’s upcoming Avata 360 drone in more detail. The brand’s upcoming compact drone just had its entire design revealed, showcasing its quadcopter design and remote controller. So let’s check it out.

DJI Avata 360 leaked in all its glory

Leaked images of the latest Avata series drone just surfaced on X (via Igor Bogdanov). You can see the DJI’s Avata 360 prototype with a camera housing that can rotate, which is a feature not found even on its main competitor, the Antigravity A1. To recall, this is another 360 drone that recently debuted. But shortly after its release, the Avata 360 had its retail box leaked.

While in action, this rotating mechanism for the camera would allow the DJI Avata 360 to offer both 360 degree capture device and even forward facing shooting for typical FPV flight. This technology seemed to draw inspiration from another one of DJI’s popular gadgets, the Osmo 360 action camera. In leaked imagery, one camera lens appears oriented inwards while the other faces outward, suggesting flexibility in how footage is captured. The accompanying controller feed also reportedly shows a traditional FPV view instead of an immediate 360 degree stitch, which further lends weight to the dual shooting mode functionality.

Based on what we know so far, the Avata 360 could record video up to 8K resolution using dual 1/1.1-inch CMOS sensors. These twin large sensors should offer improved low light performance and better dynamic range overall. Older rumors have also hinted at the DJI Avata 360 being an affordable compact drone, which could start from around 2,988 yuan (roughly 426 US Dollars).

The post DJI’s new Avata 360 tiny drone surfaces in a new leak appeared first on Gizmochina.

A briefly posted—and quickly deleted—listing on China’s Xiaohongshu platform has stirred fresh chatter around DJI’s rumored Avata 360 drone. Screenshots of the post, which have since circulated widely, appear to reveal pricing and key specifications ahead of any official announcement.

According to the leaked material, the DJI Avata 360 could start at 2,988 yuan (roughly $426) for the drone alone. Several bundled options were also mentioned. These include a version with DJI’s RC2 remote controller priced at 3,988 yuan, as well as two higher-tier kits listed at 5,688 yuan each. The more expensive bundles reportedly add accessories such as extra batteries, a charging hub, and—depending on the kit—either flight goggles or a motion-based controller.

The poster claims the Avata 360 features a one-inch image sensor. It also lists support for 6K video at up to 60fps with HDR, along with omnidirectional obstacle avoidance. If accurate, those specs would place the drone well above entry-level models, particularly for creators interested in immersive or VR-style footage.

That said, not everything lines up neatly. Earlier reports had suggested a different hardware setup, including dual 1/1.1-inch sensors and possible 8K 360-degree video recording. The discrepancy has led some observers to question whether the leaked poster reflects final hardware or an early configuration.

As with many leaks, the information should be treated cautiously. DJI has not commented on the Avata 360, nor has it confirmed the product’s existence publicly.

Still, the pricing—if genuine—could make the Avata 360 one of the more accessible options in the growing panoramic drone space. A sub-$500 starting point would lower the barrier for enthusiasts curious about 360-degree aerial imaging, while higher-tier kits cater to more serious users.

DJI Avata 360: Immersive FPV Flight Experience

For immersive first-person view (FPV) flying, the DJI Avata 360 will reportedly bring enhanced action-style footage and agility in an FPV-optimized frame. This model might be the direct competitor to the Insta360’s Antigravity A1, the company’s first drone expected to launch in January next year. It is designed to complement DJI’s traditional lineup by offering a cinematic, pilot-centric experience that’s tough to replicate with standard camera drones. This model is also expected to offer 8K video capture, obstacle avoidance, and 1/1.1–inch CMOS sensors.

DJI Neo 2: Lightweight & Beginner-Friendly

At the other end of the spectrum, the DJI Neo 2 is one of the lightest consumer drones DJI offers, weighing in at around 135 g. Its ultra-compact size and simplified controls make it a great choice for beginners, vloggers, or anyone who wants casual aerial shots without heavy regulatory hurdles.

Despite its small size, the Neo 2 delivers 4K footage and user-friendly features like AI subject tracking, quick shots, and app-based controls, making it a strong option if you want an easy-to-fly drone that’s ready right out of the box.

The post Best DJI Drones to Buy in 2026: Top Picks & What’s Coming Next appeared first on Gizmochina.

The race to launch the first mainstream 360° drone just got a lot more interesting. Only a week after Insta360‘s drone brand Antigravity revealed the A1 — and claimed the title of the first consumer drone with a built-in 360-degree camera — a new leak suggests DJI is about to answer sooner than anyone expected.

Antigravity may have enjoyed a short moment in the spotlight, but DJI clearly hasn’t been far behind. Rumors first pointed to a Mini 360, then shifted to what’s now widely known as the Avata 360. And based on fresh evidence, DJI’s version might be closer to launch than earlier reports hinted.

Leaker Igor Bogdanov recently posted a set of high-quality promo renders confirming the name Avata 360. These kinds of images usually appear a few weeks or months before DJI announces anything — the same pattern we saw with the Avata 2. But this time, the story moved faster. A supposed photo of the drone’s retail box also began circulating online.

It’s still not clear where the box image originally came from. Several X accounts shared what looks like the same photo, each one altered slightly with filters or blur to hide specific details, presumably to avoid getting anyone in trouble. The box looks legitimate at first glance, but as always with packaging leaks, some caution is warranted. These photos could easily be edited or staged.

Even with the usual doubts, the timing is hard to ignore. Multiple accounts posted similar images within hours, which often means units have already been shipped out — usually to reviewers, testers, or influencers — ahead of an official announcement.

DJI is rumored to launch the Avata 360 around December 23. If that holds, DJI may change the narrative just days after Antigravity’s big moment. What was supposed to be the A1’s victory lap could turn into a last-minute holiday showdown instead.

If the leak is real, the Avata 360 could hit the market before the year wraps.

The post DJI Avata 360 retail box leaks just days after Insta360’s Antigravity A1 launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

DJI may be preparing a surprising shift in its FPV lineup. Instead of the long-rumored Avata 3, new leaks suggest that the company is working on something more unconventional—one that could shake up the emerging 360° drone segment. And with Insta360 gearing up for its own drone debut, the timing is anything but coincidental.

Reports now indicate that DJI’s next FPV-style release will arrive as the DJI Avata 360, designed to directly counter Insta360’s Antigravity A1, the company’s first drone expected to launch in January next year. This marks a notable departure from expectations built over the last six months, which pointed toward a traditional third-generation Avata.

Rumors of the Avata 3 began circulating earlier this year, around the same period leaks hinted at the Neo 2 and Mini 5 Pro. Both of those drones have since materialized in one form or another, and the Neo 2 itself may be approaching a wider global rollout soon. But while many were waiting for DJI to follow up with a refined Avata 3, alleged prototypes that surfaced since May told a different story.

Photos showcased a drone that looked nothing like the Avata 2. Instead of the compact, rounded FPV frame, the prototypes revealed a flatter, more unconventional layout. That unusual design suddenly makes sense in light of the new claim: DJI isn’t refining the Avata formula; it’s repurposing it.

According to leaker Igor Bogdanov, who now claims to have received direct confirmation, DJI will introduce Avata 360, a drone aimed squarely at the 360° aerial capture market. This positions it as a direct competitor to Insta360’s upcoming Antigravity A1—a bold strategic move, considering Insta360’s dominance in immersive imaging.

Pricing speculation suggests a starting point around $1,099, though no supporting evidence has been shared yet. If accurate, DJI’s decision signals a pivot toward immersive FPV filmmaking at a time when the 360° drone niche is just beginning to heat up. The Avata 360 could be the opening shot in a new competitive chapter.
