DJI Avata 3 Release Date — When Will It Launch?
Rumours about the DJI Avata 3 release date began in early 2025. The DJI Avata 3 drone will hit the market between late 2025 and early 2026. This timeline also aligns with the DJI FPV product cycle updates that typically occur in one to two years of the product cycle.

DJI Avata 3 Leaked Image
A Quick analysis of the DJI Avata leaked image, what we are able to observe in the new drone
- From the leaked image, it is very clear that the design of the Avata 3 will have the same form factor as the DJI Avata 2.
- DJI Avata now has a much larger camera module at the front, which is very clearly visible in the leaked images as well as in the rendered image.
- Battery placement has been moved to the back, creating slightly more space for the nested camera, making it possible to remove the orange bumpers the Avata 2 had.
- Finally, from the leaked image again, it is very clearly visible that DJI has upgraded the Avata 3 to a 4-blade propeller setup, which will create a more powerful, faster, and efficient FPV experience.

DJI Avata 3 Price – How Much Will It Cost?
The DJI leak suggests the starting pricing point is $1,200 to $1,500 for the Primo Combo kit, which arrives with an extra battery, goggles, and accessories for the drone itself. So, the pricing will be slightly higher than the Avata 2 launch price due to the set of upgraded features like a larger sensor and improved overall performance. Standalone pricing of the drone is expected to be around $1,200, and further increases towards up to $1,800 for professional setups
DJI Avata 3 Price
- The DJI Avata 3 is expected to have a drone-only price of $549–$649
- a Fly More Combo (Single Battery) price of $1,099–$1,249, and
- a Fly More Combo (Three Batteries) price of $1,299–$1,499
~12–33% increase in drone-only vs. Avata 2; combos ~10–25% higher, potentially justified by rumored upgrades like enhanced stabilization, longer flight time, and smarter cameras.
DJI Avata 3 camera specification – a big jump in quality
To upscale the overall cinematography experience with the DJI Avata 3 drone, the drone is expected to feature a large 1-inch CMOS sensor inside it, which will create a big jump from the video quality of the DJI Avata 2’s 1/1.3-inch sensor. The new large 1-inch CMOS sensor will not only improve the low-light performance of the drone, it will also appeal to the overall dynamic range of the sensor, resulting in better colour tones and more latitude for video editors, specifically for colour grading purposes, more details below
DJI Avata 3 Specifications [Rumored]
