DJI Unveils Avata 360, an 8K FPV Drone for Immersive 360° Shoots

DJI announced the Avata 360, a flagship FPV drone featuring dual sensors that can shoot 8Kp60 HDR video and 120 MP photos in 360°, plus a 4K single-lens mode; it pairs with DJI goggles and motion controllers for an immersive experience, offers up to 23 minutes of flight and 20 km transmission, a replaceable front lens, 42 GB of internal storage expandable by microSD, and Wi‑Fi 6 transfer up to 100 MB/s. Available now in China with pre-sales elsewhere and no US store release yet, positioning DJI against Insta360's Antigravity.

DJI Avata 360 fuses 360-degree capture with traditional FPV, but US launch remains blocked

DJI's Avata 360 blends true 360-degree capture with a swiveling gimbal for a traditional FPV mode, offering multiple control options (phone app, RC, goggles with motion controller, or twin-stick) and user-replaceable lenses. It outmatches Antigravity’s A1 on speed, range, and video options (up to 8K60 for 360, 4K60 in single-lens mode), while built-in prop guards and omnidirectional sensors boost safety. However a US official launch is blocked despite FCC clearance, with imports likely the only path for US buyers; outside the US it begins shipping in April. Drone-only prices start around £409/€459 (~$540), with bundles cheaper than Antigravity’s but lacking a DJI Goggles 3 bundle in the lineup.

DJI challenges FCC drone import ban in Ninth Circuit

DJI has sued the FCC in the Ninth Circuit to overturn the agency’s Covered List ruling that blocks import of new foreign-made drones, claiming the FCC overstepped its authority, violated procedures, and denied constitutional rights; the ban—effective since December 2025—carries exemptions only for some non-Chinese drones and parts, while DJI says the policy harms US customers and its business, amid related DoD listing and ongoing product rumors.

US Drone Rules Leave DJI in Limbo: Existing Drones Sell, New Models Unclear

The FCC's Covered List blocks the import of new foreign-made drones (including DJI), but existing DJI models remain available and legal to fly; a Blue UAS exemption could loosen future restrictions, yet the fate of new US drone models depends on US‑China relations, so buying now may be prudent for those who need a drone while gray-market options remain risky and not recommended.

FCC Expands Foreign Drone Ban, Blocking Future DJI and Autel Models

The FCC added all foreign-made drones and critical components to its Covered List, meaning future DJI, Autel, and other brands’ models won’t receive FCC approval or US sales, though drones already approved remain legal to own and fly under FAA rules. Replacement parts for existing devices will still be available. For buyers, FCC-approved options like Neo 2, Mini 5 Pro, or Mavic 4 Pro are recommended when in stock; legal challenges may follow, but a reversal isn’t expected.

China Takes Lead in Action Camera Market from the US

The action camera market, once dominated by GoPro, is now largely controlled by Chinese companies DJI and Insta360, which hold nearly 90% of the market share in Japan. GoPro's decline is attributed to its failed drone venture and slower innovation compared to its Chinese rivals, who continue to invest heavily in new technology. Despite this, the overall market is growing rapidly, offering potential for GoPro to rebound with new products in the future.
