DJI Osmo Pocket 4 New Leaked Image: Reveal Confirm Design Upgrades and more...

Finally, we have a new leaked image of the Pocket 4 camera from highly trusted sources. This is one of the clearest pictures we have seen among the set of leaked images we have published before. The design, the interface, and the buttons—everything is very clear, and the differences are also clearly visible. On the other side, we have the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 camera. So literally, this is one of the best images and the clearest twin comparisons we have seen so far.

In the same article, we will conduct a brief analysis of the design, highlighting the differences between the two that we have already observed and again notice in this image, as well as its origin. Obviously, it appears to be from another restaurant or café, where someone is chilling with a cup of coffee, likely black coffee. So yes, everything shown in this post, let’s explore it one by one.

Breaking Down the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Leaked Image

The latest image leaked by @Quadro_News shows two compact gimbal cameras placed side-by-side on a table, next to a takeaway coffee cup. The setup appears casual, suggesting someone is testing both cameras and taking a break. Beyond this, the photo highlights clear design differences between the models.

The two buttons below the LCD screen are now more clearly visible. As a reminder, we were the first to showcase the design of these buttons in one of our posts published a few months ago (October 23rd, 2025), where the DJI Pocket 4 camera was spotted during a Barcelona shoot for its promotional material. The commercial was already shot months ago, but due to the US ban on DJI products and related complications, DJI had to silently delay the announcement from December 2025 to January 2026. Now, we’re seeing more hands-on leaks as the launch approaches.

The announcement is expected sometime between mid-March and April 2026. Apart from all this, the new design looks very attractive, with the Pocket 4 exhibiting a slimmer profile compared to the Pocket 3.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4 vs Osmo Pocket 3: Key Design Differences Revealed

Take a look at the major design highlights and the key differences between the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 and the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, which are very clearly visible. So just have a look at what the major design differences are that we have between the two devices.

  • Screen Size and Orientation: The Pocket 4 &3 is clearly visible on the screen, and we have written the name as well, so you don’t get confused. The display screen of the Pocket 4 seems slightly larger, or maybe almost the same?. Since we are not able to notice a big difference in the screen size, but yes, as per the leaks, we may have a slightly larger screen in the upcoming Pocket 4. What do you think? Does it look a bit larger, or maybe just slightly larger than the Pocket 3? Let me know in the comments.
  • Control Interface: Yes, that’s the best part to see, and it’s true, since we had already posted this back in October 2025. The Pocket 4 is coming with two extra buttons and updated controls. This could offer more precise control over settings like zoom, focus, and gimbal movements, reducing the need for on-screen taps during fast-paced shoots. We will have more details once everything becomes official, but for now, it is clear that we are getting some extra physical controls with the Pocket 4. A standout difference here is clearly the control mechanism.
  • Overall Ergonomics: The Pocket 4 looks more compact yet feature-packed, with possible improvements in battery life and heat management. If the Amazon leak holds true, expect a 1-inch (2.5 cm) CMOS sensor, 4K/120fps video recording, and enhanced low-light performance—surpassing the Pocket 3’s capabilities.

These changes position the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 as a top contender among the best gimbal cameras for 2026, ideal for travel vlogging, action sports, and professional filmmaking. The specification comparison used below, and specifically the specs mentioned, are coming from the Amazon.de listing. So again, the specifications you see below are not from a highly authentic or officially trusted source. They have been leaked via the DJI Amazon.de page, and therefore, the details mentioned are neither official nor confirmed. We are only sharing a glimpse so that you can get a basic idea of what to expect.

Feature DJI Osmo Pocket 3 DJI Osmo Pocket 4 (Leaked)
Sensor 1-inch CMOS 1-inch CMOS (rumored 2.5 cm equivalent)
Video Resolution 4K/60fps 4K/120fps
Screen 2-inch rotatable Larger touchscreen with dial control
Controls Joystick Touch wheel/dial
Stabilization 3-axis 3-axis (enhanced)
Battery Life Up to 166 minutes Improved (rumored day-long shooting)
Price (Estimated) $519 $549–$649 (Standard/Pro)

Leak Origin: Clues Point to China

The DJ pocket for the recent image that you see above was captured at a coffee shop. And if you just look at the coffee cup branding, it belongs to Luckin Coffee, a popular Chinese coffee chain founded in 2017. With over 10,000 stores predominantly in China, Luckin Coffee is a staple in cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen.

Nayan here is the most interesting part of the league, the DJI Headquarters at Sky City, (No. 55 Xianyuan Road, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, China), it’s plausible this photo was taken during internal testing or at a nearby cafe. The nearest Luckin Coffee store is conveniently located close by, with one branch reportedly visible from the lobby area of the DJI Sky City complex—according to user reviews, it’s on the left side of the lobby. For accessibility, the closest metro station is Liuxiandong Station on Metro Line 5, just a 10-minute walk from the headquarters.

Should You Wait for the DJI Osmo Pocket 4?

Yes, as we said, wait for the DJI Osmo Pocket 4, since the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is an FCC-approved camera, so it will soon become available in the United States of America once it becomes official. As per the rumors, the announcement is expected within the next one or two months, and yes, we are seeing multiple sets of specifications from different sources, which can be confusing.

If the dual-camera setup arrives with the Pocket 4, then obviously it will be a massive upgrade compared to the Pocket 3. So for now, wait for more confirmations related to the specifications and arrival date, and we will be updating everything as soon as any new information becomes available here at TheNewCamera.com.

DJI Pocket 4 Front View Leaked: Dual Camera Design Exposed


DJI Pocket 4 Leaked on Amazon: Latest Release Date and Specifications

DJI Pocket 4 Delayed Once More: Latest Rumored Release Date for 2026

The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is coming with ground-breaking technological upgrades over the Pocket 3, as detailed in our recent coverage. Leaked images from trusted sources confirm a lens-based dual-camera design for the upcoming model.

However, multiple delays have pushed back the DJI Pocket 4 announcement. It was initially expected in December 2025, but postponed due to unfinished accessories. A January 2026 date was then floated, but as we enter mid-January 2026 with no official word, hints from YouTuber Photorabz and our exclusive sources now point to a timeline from late January to early spring, potentially mid-March to April for the advanced variant.

The delay is unexpected, especially since leaked NDA documents surfaced months back in September 2025.

Initial Rumors and the Road to Delay: From December 2025 to Early 2026

As covered in our previous article—DJI Pocket 4 Front View Leaked – Dual Camera Design Exposed—the initial delay was confirmed via leaks and insider tips. With mid-January here and no updates, the DJI Pocket 4 release has slipped further, leaving fans eager for this highly anticipated vlogging camera.

We’ve relied on trusted insiders, but fresh tips from Photorabz (via his candid video recorded at Athens Airport after a holiday) include a shared screenshot confirming the end-of-January delay.

Key points from his video:

His source shared the following insight with him

Photorabz Insights: Two Versions and Further Postponements Confirmed

Photorabz, drawing from a DJI supplier friend and Chinese content creators, shared:

  • The end-of-January 2026 timeline has been delayed.
  • DJI plans two versions: a standard model (evolutionary upgrades from Pocket 3) and an advanced dual-camera variant with seamless optical zoom and better low-light performance.
  • The dual-lens model is now slated for around April 2026.

He mentioned two models – the standard Pocket 4 and a non-standard version—with one eyed for April, but no further details.

 

Latest Updated: Late Feb to April 2026 Timeline

Building on Photorabz’s report, our exclusive sources clarify without naming a “Pro” edition. They confirm the delay beyond January, with the innovative wide + telephoto dual-camera Pocket 4 now expected from late February to April 2026.

This is the current timeframe based on the latest updates. We’ll post any new developments here.

As writers for TheNewCamera.com, we’re monitoring DJI Osmo Pocket 4 developments through leaks, insiders, and official channels. While rumors from Photorabz and our sources are exciting, we’re awaiting DJI’s confirmation. Stay tuned—the wait for this game-changing gimbal camera might be worth it.

List of Approved DJI Drones, Pocket Series Models, and Action Cameras: DJI USA Ban Update 2026

Best DJI Drones Under $500 in 2026: Expert Reviews, Comparisons, and Buying Guide

List of Best DJI Camera Drones Under $700 in 2026

Now that we are entering 2026, this is a golden era of Drone cameras available for around $700, specifically within the USA. The DJI ban is effective as of December 23, 2025, but just before that, DJI not only updated its entry-level drone, with the Neo 2, but also added the Avata 360 to the FCC registration to make it eligible for future sales within the USA.

If you are considering avoiding DJI drones, keep in mind that, under $700, almost all Drones with Excellent Built-in Cameras, generally seen on Amazon.com and B&H Photo, are not manufactured in the USA. Most of the sub-$1000 brands you see are linked with Chinese boards and circuits. And some of them are completely manufactured in China. As of December 23, many models are not directly affected, but as per the ban, only USA-made drones are allowed for new FCC registrations after December 23

Budget market realities: Most sub-$700 drones on Amazon and B&H (e.g., Potensic Atom 2 at $300, Ruko F11 at $369) utilize Chinese components/assembly, even if rebranded. Non-US options like French Parrot Anafi or Israeli/UK models (e.g., Ryze Tello, but it’s a DJI-partnered) rarely hit under $700 without Chinese ties. Ag-focused non-Chinese (e.g., US-based Anzu Raptor) start at $2k+.

What is actually written in the FCC Covered List?

Uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) and UAS critical components produced in a foreign country†† and all communications and video surveillance equipment and services listed in Section 1709(a) (1) of the FY25 National Defense Authorization Act (Pub. L. 118-159)

That clearly means any drone, even the assembled ones,  produced in a foreign country, the  FCC registration is prohibited from Dec 23, but all the drones registered before Dec 23 at FCC are still eligible for sale across the USA.

Made-in-USA drones like Skydio and others—which have eye-opening prices, like we have to at least pay $950 for Skydio 2+ drone – Yes, that’s the entry segment drone, but since it’s manufactured in the USA, it does have a Sky-High Price.

List of Best DJI Camera Drones Under $700

It’s better to buy the best option available in the market right now; you will miss the opportunity once the stock runs out.

Spot Model Price Specs Air Time on Stand. Battery Killer Perks
1 Mini 4K $299 1/2.3, 12MP, 4K/30 31 Best Entry Level for a wedding cinematographer
2 Neo 2 $259 1/2, 12MP, 4K/60 (100 slo) 19 Best for Beginner Content Creators / Gesture Handling
3 Mini 4 Pro $679 1/1.3, 48MP, 4K/60 HDR (100 slo) 34 BestLong Range Coverage – 20km
4 Flip $439 1/1.3, 48MP, 4K/60 HDR, bit-deep 31 a compact, foldable camera drone
5 Mini 3 Pro $559 1/1.3, 48MP, 4K/60 HDR, vert pure 34 Budget pro, tri-directional obstacle sensing, and 4K/60fps video

Are These Drones Legal to Buy After the December 23, 2025, Ban?

Yes, it is 100% legal to buy DJI drones in the United States of America. Even after the ban became effective from December 23, 2025, and after that DJI is not able to register new products with the FCC, the products that are already registered with the FCC are fully eligible to be sold in the United States of America.

There is no retroactive ban involved. So you can buy them, and you can fly them without any doubt or problem.

And if you have any confusion about this, then we have created a list of DJI-approved drones, and at the end, you will get very clear clarification on why these specific DJI drones are eligible, which is clearly explained in that article.

Final Thoughts: Secure Your Aerial Edge in 2026

So before we finish the article, there is a recommendation line. If you are a beginner content creator and you have to operate your drone solo, then the best drone is the DJI Neo 2. It can be easily controlled using hand gestures, and the Follow Me mode of the Neo 2 will capture each and every moment while you are working in a scenario. So, for a solo content creator, the DJI Neo 2 drone is the best choice.

If you are a beginner cinematographer, then it’s best to get the DJI Mini 4K drone, since you get approximately 31 minutes of flight time on the standard battery. It is highly important to have a drone that can stay in the air for a longer duration.

Apart from these recommendations, there are three other drones that you can buy based on your specific requirements. These include the DJI Mini 4 Pro, which can cover up to 20 km aerial transmission range, making it the best in terms of coverage. In the next position, we have the DJI Flip, an ultra-portable and foldable drone designed for travel content creators. Finally, there is the DJI Mini 3 Pro, which is slightly cheaper than the Mini 4 Pro, offering a professional handling experience within a controlled budget.

Stay tuned with thenewcamera.com. Stay updated.


List of Approved DJI Drones, Pocket Series Models, and Action Cameras: DJI USA Ban Update 2026

Best DJI Drones Under $500 in 2026: Expert Reviews, Comparisons, and Buying Guide

DJI Avata 360 Price Leaked: China Pricing Starts at $426 US Buyers Brace for $999 Fly More Combo

Finally, we now have the exact pricing of the DJI Avata 360 drone. Since the pricing table is officially out and was accidentally leaked by DJI China stores, it clearly indicates that the official announcement is very near. In this article, we will discuss the pricing of the DJI Avata 360 in China, as well as the estimated pricing in the United States of America.

Please keep in mind that we are trying to keep the United States pricing as realistic as possible, based on the USD to CNY conversion ratio and other important factors such as taxes, duties, and regional pricing differences etc.

The pricing table below includes all bundles, and one of the most important things you need to understand is that the DJI Avata 360 is a green-flag model. This means it has already cleared FCC registration before December 23, 2025, making it fully eligible for sale in the United States of America.

DJI Avata 360 Price Leak: China Bundles Exposed

The Chinese pricing of the DJI 360 does not look very competitive or reasonable when compared to the Insta360 Antigravity A1 drone. However, DJI is a market leader in the drone manufacturing segment, and as we all know, it had already captured more than 70–80% of the United States drone market share before December 23, 2025.

Keeping all these factors in mind, it is clear that DJI is going to keep the pricing very aggressive, and at the same time, the specifications are expected to be slightly better than what we have already seen in the Antigravity A1 drone.

Before we discuss the detailed specifications of the DJI 360, let’s first jump into the pricing of the drone.

  • Base Drone Only: ¥2,988 CNY (~$426 USD) – Drone + charger. Ideal for tinkerers.
  • Standard Combo (w/ DJI RC 2 Controller): ¥3,988 CNY (~$569 USD) – Adds FPV remote for solo flights.
  • Fly More Combo: ¥5,688 CNY (~$811 USD) – Everything above + 2 extra batteries, prop sets, hub, and bag. Best value at 20% savings.

Add-ons? DJI Care Refresh starts at ¥398 (~$57) for one replacement – a must for crash-prone FPV.

These align with Weibo rumors: Base at ¥2,988, combos scaling up. At this pricing, Chinese shoppers score a steal – but U.S. buyers? Read on.

DJI Avata 360 US Price: Estimated Markup and What You’ll Pay

It is quite obvious that the official pricing will become available once the DJI Avata 360 receives an official announcement from DJI. At the very same time, we have tried our best to estimate and suggest the most realistic pricing of the DJI Avata 360 for the U.S. market, based on the currently available information.

No official DJI Avata 360 US price yet on DJI’s store, but history (e.g., Avata 2’s 20-30% global hike) predicts pain. Using today’s 1 CNY = $0.1427 rate, direct conversions are low – but expect 15-40% premiums for tariffs, FCC certs, and retail cuts.

Bundle China (CNY/USD Converted) Est. US Price Premium Over China
Base ¥2,988 / $426 $489 +$63 (15%)
Standard Combo ¥3,988 / $569 $680 +$111 (20%)
Fly More Combo ¥5,688 / $811 $999 +$188 (23%)

What You’ll Pay in the USA: So, the overall Fly More combo is a great option, offering all Fly More benefits. As we have mentioned above, the Budget you pay in getting the combo is $999 – matching Avata 2’s entry point but with 360° magic. Base might hit $489 if DJI keeps it aggressive and in budget to beat the competitors.

Is the DJI Avata 360 Worth the Hype (and Price)?

Absolutely, the DJI Avata 360, first of all, is FCC approved. It will soon become available in the USA if you’re into immersive 360° FPV. This Drone not only Beats Avata 2’s 1/1.3-inch sensor with spherical freedom but also the Antigravity A1 with its larger sensor size, and under 250g means no FAA registration hassle. And as we have already discussed, since it’s the green zone aka already got the FCC certificate, so will soon become available to the USA also.

List of Approved DJI Drones, Pocket Series Models, and Action Cameras: DJI USA Ban Update 2026

DJI Power 1000 Mini Confirmed: Coming on January 6, 2026 – Small Volume, Great Power

DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Release Delayed: Leaked Info Pushes Launch to January 2026 – No December Debut

DJI pocket 4 image

The DJI Pocket Four camera has already created a lot of buzz. We expect the upcoming DJI Osmo Small Pocket camera to have a significant upgrade over the Pocket 3. With the help of a dual camera setup, we will have very clear zoom shots (2X & 4X) for the first time. Alongside AI auto framing, we will also see seamless transfer from one camera module to another/easy switch between camera modules without losing the quality.

Earlier this year, leaks pointed to a DJI Pocket 4 announcement date as early as December 18, 2025. Yes, all of us here at TheNewCamera.com were very excited about the arrival of the Pocket 4 camera before Christmas. However, right now, according to the latest leak coming from YouTuber photorabz, the DJI Pocket 4 camera announcement has been slightly delayed, and the camera is now expected to arrive sometime in January 2026, not in December 2025.

One of the clearest pics of the  DJI Pocket 4 camera

Exact Quote: What the photorabz Said About the DJI Pocket 4 Announcement and Release

Just in the same plain, candid way, we are going to describe to you what the photorabz has said, and this is an exact quote from his video, transcribed for transparency without any edits

 

“But the Osmo Pocket 4 won’t be released in December. This is for sure. It might be announced by the end of the month, but for the moment, this has been postponed. This idea of releasing this camera has been postponed. Why? Because the accessories for this camera aren’t ready yet……. We don’t have any clear information about that. But according to the latest um talks and rumors and [music] you know these things this camera the Osmo Pocket 4 will be released in January in the second half of January not well it could be between the 10 and uh till the end of the month……….. but it’s not going to be now before Christmas as we got as an information before.”

We have a delay in the DJI Pocket 4 arrival timeline. Specifically, the end of the year is a very volatile period for DJI due to the Dec 23 Ban issue. We don’t know which product announcements are going to be postponed. Although we have published a list of products that who cleared the FCCID certification recently.

Breaking Down the Leak: What Does This Mean for the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Timeline?

Let’s unpack this step by step, so you can plan your upgrades wisely:

1. No December Release – Confirmed Postponement

  • The vlogger is crystal clear: A full DJI Pocket 4 release in December 2025 is off the table. And the announcement is delayed till jan 2025.  It’s really a bit disappointing for all of us who were waiting to pre-order Pocket 4 before Christmas.
  • Why the delay? The exact reason, as mentioned by photorabz, is that the Accessories are the culprit. As we all know, the Pocket 3 depends on a lot of external accessories, which include wireless mics, extra batteries, and modular mounts – DJI’s ecosystem thrives on these add-ons, and rushing them could lead to quality issues.

2. Announcement Date: Possible End-of-Month Tease

  • Silver lining: An official DJI Osmo Pocket 4 announcement Teaser could still drop by the end of December 2025. This aligns with DJI’s pattern of holiday-season reveals (remember the Pocket 3’s November 2023 debut?).
  • Expect confirmed specs, More Leaked Images and videos before leaks, but hands-on access? Save that for January.

If you’re a vlogger, traveller, or social media professional, the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 remains a must-watch device for 2026. We have already seen a lot of leaks, official teaser videos, as well as NDA-related documents and FCC ID filings of the Osmo Pocket 4. For now, we have seen almost everything possible before a product announcement. We are now only waiting for the Osmo Pocket 4 to become official as soon as possible.

Stay tuned as we get any updates related to DJI products. We will be posting updates at TheNewCamera.com. But before that, let’s break down what this delay actually means, specifically for the DJI Pocket 4.

Beginner Guide to Buying DJI Drones Before the 2025 U.S. Ban Deadline

If you are a beginner looking for the best entry-level drones in 2025 and live in the United States of America, then this is the best time to act, as the deadline set by the FY25 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is just 11 days away, on December 23, 2025. The DJI products will get banned in the United States of America, so if you already having/own a DJI product, then there is no issue, but yes, new product announcements/registrations at the FCC may get halted after this date. A positive aspect is that the ban is not affecting flying or existing DJI drones, so if you’re considering stocking up on the latest model, this is an ideal time to buy them at a reasonable price.

Here we have sorted out the best entry-level beginner-friendly drones for you made by DJI. And this time, we’re not talking about any DJI alternatives for now, since DJI itself is the best drone maker in the world, and if you can get your hands on their drones before December 23, then why think of alternatives right now?

Keep in mind that the drones that we have selected in this buying guide are under 250g,. Just jump into the list below and sort the best drone as per your own set of requirements and the budget range you have.

Key Factors for Beginners When Choosing a DJI Drone

Don’t just grab the shiniest one—focus on what matters for new pilots. Here’s a quick rundown:

  • Weight: Always prefer an underweight drone >250g, since those underweight drones are trouble-free drones and don’t require extra paperwork/permission while taking off. Stick to under 250g (all our picks qualify) to avoid FAA registration and fly freely in most areas.
  • Camera Quality: All the drones we have listed record crisp smooth 4K footage;
  • Flight Time: 20-30 minutes per battery—get a combo pack for all-day sessions.
  • Ease of Use: App integration (DJI Fly app), GPS return-to-home, and beginner modes like auto-hover.
  • Portability & Price: Foldable designs under $500 for starters; wind resistance up to Level 5 for outdoor adventures.
  • Extras: Obstacle sensors, quick-shots (pre-programmed flights), and FPV (first-person view) goggles compatibility.

DJI Avata 360 Retail Box Leaked

avata 360 retail box original

DJI Avata 360 Fly More Combo has surfaced online, although we have seen a lot of AI-based retail boxes earlier, so we have hesitated to publish this one. However, after analyzing the image in depth, we have found that this particular version of the retail box leaked image appears to be legitimate, so we have decided to publish it on our website.

Many AI-generated DJI Avata 360 packaging retail box images are circulating on the web, so don’t be confused by them; this one has the clearest look, as well as the text. The images that are being seen in the retail box look highly authentic.

The DJI Avata 2 is already highly popular. The Avata 360 will also blend out the spherical video feature that will allow users to capture everything, and recently, Insta360 announced the Antigravity A1 drone on December 4. The pre-order is also active, so it seems to be the DJI Avata 360 announcement is also very near.

The packaging of DJI’s new product, the Avata 360 panoramic drone, has been leaked and may be officially released soon. Rumored specifications include: dual 1/1.1-inch image sensors, 8K panoramic video recording, 4K at 120P, 120 million pixel panoramic image capture, approximately 25 minutes of battery life, O4 transmission, and a weight of about 375 grams. The pricing is a bit less, but close to that of the Insta360, in direct competition.

The image surfaced from the Asian region, it’s kind of a white-gray box design as usual. DJI does have most of its products in the very same design language. It’s a high-end bundle of the DJI Avata 360, which also has branding over it. Very clearly can be seen very clearly on the top of the box. The packaging emphasizes the Fly More Combo variant, explicitly noting “Three Batteries” for extended sessions — ideal for creators chasing dynamic aerial shots without constant recharges. Subtle multilingual labeling (including Traditional Chinese) hints at a global rollout, with phrases like “Fly More Combo (Three Batteries)” underscoring the value-packed kit.

What’s Inside the Box?

From the visible details on the box and corroborated leaks, the Avata 360 Fly More Combo seems to include:

  • DJI Avata 360 Drone: We already have a lot of details related to the Avata 360, and recently, we have also published the FCID. Certification of Avtar 360 alongside other DJI products is expected to arrive early. Specs include. Dual 1/1.3-inch sensors enable native 8K 360° video recording at up to 30fps. The advanced processing mechanism allows seamless switching between full spherical capture and traditional forward-facing FPV views, addressing a key limitation in prior Avata models.
  • Goggles 3: Goggle 3 FPV headset is paired in the bundle, refreshed for the Avata line, supports O4 video transmission for low-latency feeds up to 13 km. Its ergonomic design with diopter adjustment ensures comfort during extended flights.
  • RC Motion 3 Controller: Perfect combo, the DJI controller adds gesture-based control while using goggles, so you can have fun while recording video.
  • Three Intelligent Flight Batteries: A standout upgrade, each rated at 38.67 Wh (14.32V)—a 22% capacity boost over the Avata 2’s cells. Allowing longer shoots or multi-angle explorations without downtime.
  • Additional Accessories: Charging hub, spare propellers, and carrying case round out the essentials, all tucked into a sturdy, travel-ready box measuring roughly 12 x 10 x 6 inches based on visual scaling.

These components align with DJI’s ecosystem, ensuring compatibility with existing Avata 2 accessories like the O3/O4 Air Unit for custom builds.

Tying Into Broader Leaks and Expectations

We already know the quality of DJI OSMO 360 camera. It delivers great 360 footage. And as per the initial set of leaks, we have the upcoming Avata 360 will carry almost the same camera specification that we have already seen in the Osmo 360 camera, and if the combination exactly matches, then for sure, we will have exceptional video quality from the Avata 360 drone. Now it all depends on the pricing. Initially, we have received reports that the body only / the standard kit will going to cost us $1099 only, but the person who shared the retail box package clearly wrote ” pricing is a bit less, but close to that of the Insta360″  and as we know the Antigravity A1 price is is bit high. So if DJI is able to maintain a lower price tag for the Avata 360, then it’s a clear win-win situation for DJI.

We have already published a lot of content related to the Avata 360, and above that, we have also compared the core specification of the AVATA 360 drone vs Insta360 Antigravity A1.and DJI Avata spotted at FCCID here
