DJI Avata 360 Leak Suggests DJI’s First True 360° Drone Is Almost Here
High-resolution leaked promotional images suggest that DJI is preparing to launch its first true 360-degree drone — the DJI Avata 360 — and it could arrive even sooner than expected. According to multiple reliable tipsters, including @Quadro_News and The New Camera, the new model may land before the Insta360 Antigravity A1, giving DJI a surprising edge in the race for the first mainstream 360 flight camera.
This would also follow DJI’s recent release of the Osmo 360, making a dedicated 360 drone the next logical step.
DJI May Beat Insta360 to Market
Insta360 revealed its Antigravity A1 concept far earlier, but DJI appears to be moving faster.
The New Camera suggests the Avata 360 could arrive within weeks, potentially making it one of DJI’s final major launches of 2025.
If true, DJI would leapfrog Insta360’s Antigravity A1 — currently expected to reach shelves in January 2026 — and seize the first-mover advantage in the 360 flight space.
DJI has a long history of responding quickly to competition. The DJI Neo, for example, was a near-instant answer to HoverAir’s X1 selfie drone. Now, the Avata 360 looks poised to apply the same aggressive strategy in the 360 drone category.
Twin 1.1-Inch Sensors Borrowed from Osmo 360
Tipsters predict that DJI will use the same impressive imaging hardware from the Osmo 360:
-
Twin 1.1-inch sensors
-
8K 360° video recording
-
Advanced HDR and stabilization
-
Wider dynamic range than typical 360 cameras
If the leaks are accurate, the Avata 360 will surpass the Insta360 Antigravity A1, which relies on tech from the X5 camera series.
This would position DJI’s drone as the highest-quality 360 aerial platform in the consumer market.
Leaked Images Show Rotating Twin Cameras
The promotional shots shared by @Quadro_News reveal a drone shaped very similarly to the DJI Avata 2, but with a dramatic twist:
The twin 360 cameras appear to be mounted in a flush gimbal housing that may rotate 90 degrees.
This rotation could enable:
-
Full 360° capture mode (one lens facing up, one facing down)
-
Single-lens forward-facing mode (for FPV-style flying)
If true, the Avata 360 would combine:
✔ A full spherical 360 camera
and
✔ A traditional FPV flying camera
…in a single aircraft — an industry first.
Sub-250 g Rumor: A Major Aviation Advantage
Even more interesting is the rumor that the Avata 360 will weigh less than 250 g.
That would place it in the C0 drone category, meaning:
-
No registration in many countries
-
Simplified regulations
-
Easier travel
-
More freedom for casual pilots
This would be a massive shift from the current Avata lineup, which sits in the heavier C1 category.
If DJI truly fits dual 360 sensors, a rotating mechanism, and stabilization tech under 250 g, it would be one of the company’s most impressive engineering achievements.
Will It Fly Like an FPV Drone?
One major unknown remains:
**Will the Avata 360 offer high-speed FPV performance like the Avata 2?
Or will it fly more like Insta360’s Antigravity A1 — slower, more cinematic, and focused on immersive 360 capture?**
The drone’s design hints at a hybrid identity, but it’s unclear whether DJI will prioritize:
-
Agile FPV-style flight,
-
Cinematic 360 performance,
or -
A mix of both.
If DJI pulls off both modes successfully, the Avata 360 could become one of the most versatile consumer drones ever made.
Final Thoughts — DJI’s Most Exciting Drone in Years
If the leaks are accurate, the DJI Avata 360 will deliver:
-
Twin 1.1-inch sensors
-
8K 360 filming
-
Rotating dual-camera module
-
Possible FPV hybrid mode
-
Sub-250 g weight
-
A unique 360 + FPV user experience
This combination makes it one of the most intriguing DJI products of 2025, and a potential market disruptor that could arrive before Insta360’s Antigravity A1 even reaches store shelves.
