Drone enthusiast Jasper Ellens has finally shared his thoughts on the much-discussed DJI Avata 360. This model serves as a competitor to the Antigravity A1, which is currently priced at $1,599 on Amazon. The Avata 360 was first hinted at in leaks as the Avata 3 back in May 2025. Nonetheless, it wasn’t until August that rumors began to circulate about DJI’s development of a 360-degree drone.

Release Timeline

Initially, DJI aimed for a late 2025 launch to compete with Antigravity. However, in January, this timeline was pushed back, now expecting a release before the end of March 2026. Ellens believes that a March 2026 launch is still likely. He anticipates that DJI will debut the Avata 360 in China first.

Launch Details

From previous experiences, we could see two separate Avata 360 launches in March, spaced about two weeks apart. Alternatively, there might be a China release in March followed by a worldwide launch in early April. Coinciding with this, an instructional video for the Avata 360 has been discovered in DJI’s beta applications. This video, shown below, suggests that DJI has already sent out Avata 360 units to reviewers.

Pricing and Configurations

Moreover, new pricing and configuration details have come to light. The leaked image above confirms that the Avata 360 will have a starting price of CNY 2,988 (approximately $435) with just a battery as the only accessory. On the other hand, the drone will retail for CNY 3,988 (around $575) with an RC 2 remote controller, and for CNY 5,688 (about $825) with three batteries, a charging hub, a carrying case, and either an RC 2 or Goggles N3.
