DJI’s new teaser doesn’t explicitly confirm the long-rumored Avata 360, but it comes as close as possible to doing so, and it has immediately set the drone world alight.<\/p>\n

Since then the entire industry has been waiting to see how DJI would respond.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I’ve seen leaked images from various sources \u2013 some reliable, some not-so reliable, but until now, there has been nothing from DJI themselves. But there is no way this social post can be misinterpreted.<\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n Not only does the first line, “An all-new dimension,” allude to the idea that the camera tech is going to change, and the hashtags confirm that we’re looking at a DJI drone \u2013 not one of the company’s many other product categories, but the intense video edit itself features the ‘small world’ effect associated with 360-degree cameras.<\/p>\n That’s because you need a 360-degree camera to see the whole world around the camera while the camera is still moving like this. Indeed, the effect is one you can create using DJI’s own land-based Osmo 360<\/a> camera, as well as the Antigravity A1 (not to mention the Insta360 X-series<\/a> cameras and the GoPro Max 2<\/a>)!<\/p>\n Not only that, but the camera capturing the video in the clip is clearly flying the kind of path you’d associate with the best FPV drones<\/a>, hence my concluding ‘Avata’ is likely the name here.<\/p>\n I am definitely not alone in this assumption. Perhaps the biggest DJI leaker, Igor Bogdanov<\/a>, who posts on X, has been suggesting this will be the name of the future DJI 360 drone for some time, too:<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49An acquaintance dropped by for a cup of tea.\ud83d\ude0b It’s been a while since we last met, DJI Avata 360.\ud83e\udd2d#djiavata360 pic.twitter.com\/l2c2jKBsy4January 7, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n So, what specs would I anticipate? Coming late to the market, DJI has to at least match the Antigravity, so I’m expecting to see:<\/p>\n 8K (total between two back-to-back cameras) at 60fps4 blade props (seen in some leaked pics)Propellor guardsCollision sensors<\/p>\n At the moment there is no reliable news on pricing, though we can assume as FPV drone so there will likely be packages from $500 to well over $1,200 depending on the need to acquire the drone only or controllers, and what level of compatibility there is with DJI’s existing controllers and FPV goggles like the Goggles 3 from the existing Avata 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n You might also like<\/p>\n Check my guides to the best action cameras<\/a> and the best 360 cameras<\/a>, as well as my guide to the best FPV drones<\/a> and the best camera drones<\/a>.<\/p>\n DJI fans will be interested to know we’re also seeing a lot of talk about other upcoming DJI products, and deals on current FPV drones.<\/p>\n
