DJI Avata 360: Preorders Live with $999 Pricing

DJI Avata 360 is creating a lot of buzz, and it has been rising even more since the pre-order page popped up from authentic and unofficial retailers like US Drone Supply. We have attached the screenshot below, where you can clearly see the pre-order page going live, and the best part of these pages is that they revealed the pricing of the Avata 360 drone.

Now, one thing to be noted is that these pre-order pages mean the announcement may happen anytime soon. In general, what happens is DJI teases their products about a week before their official announcement. Yes, we are waiting for the teaser, and then obviously, we’re going to have the official announcement from DJI.

Let me tell you one thing just before this. We have decided to publish this coverage because, for publishing, we have received a lot of authentic content, and after a deep analysis, we decided to publish this. The pre-order-based pricing looks very authentic, as well as the images.

Now, apart from this, just before that, we were constantly getting rumors from different sources. Specifically, two new sources were pointing toward a first-week-of-February announcement of the Avata 360 drone. What does it mean? We don’t know. Yes, they may be telling the truth or not—we’re not sure about that until the announcement officially happens. But yeah, both new sources a few weeks back were pointing toward the first week of February 2026, and one source was very sure about February 5, 2026, as the date for the official arrival of the Avata 360 drone.

This is what we were getting just before this pre-order page went live.
Let’s analyze the pricing.

Leaked Images Reveal a Cinewhoop-Style Design with 360-Degree Twists

In our January 8, 2026, post, we have also published fresh images that clearly show the DJI Avata 360 dual-mode action, where we can clearly see the camera module of the DJI 360 rotated to the front position to capture video from a single camera [DJI avata 360 in FPV Mode], and the controller display is veryclearly showcasing what the drone is capturing from singal camera module.

The drone is connected to a DJI RC controller (resembling the RC 2) via cable, displaying a live feed. It features a gray cinewhoop-style frame with full spherical propeller guards for safe indoor and proximity flying. Labels indicate DJI branding and an advanced transmission module, likely O4, for enhanced range.

Interestingly, the camera module in the image clearly shows a tiltable camera module, so that one of the lenses points forward. This suggests that the Avata 360 is not only intended as a 360-degree camera drone, but can also be used as a regular FPV drone, similar to the Avata 2. In that scenario, the pilot can simply operate with a forward-facing view during flight, as the existing.

DJI Avata 360 Specifications: Blending FPV Agility with Spherical Capture

If the whispers from low-credibility forums and leak aggregators hold any water, the DJI Avata 360 could revolutionize hybrid drone usage. Key speculated features include:

• 360-Degree Camera Integration: Dual 1/1.1-inch CMOS sensors, same as we have seen on the DJI Osmo 360, enabling 8K video recording and full spherical capture. And single lens mode while recording panoramic
• Enhanced Transmission and Range: Likely featuring DJI’s O4 transmission system for improved signal stability and longer flight distances, making it suitable for both indoor cinematic shots and outdoor adventures.
• Obstacle Avoidance and Smart Modes: Rumours suggest built-in obstacle sensing, a follow-me mode [with active tracking of moving subject], and automated flight paths, lowering the barrier for beginners while appealing to pros.
• Battery and Flight Time Upgrades: An improved battery life over the Avata 2, potentially offering extended sessions for capturing high-res footage without frequent swaps.
• Versatility for Creators: The drone might double as a standard FPV unit or a dedicated 360 camera, combining two devices into one compact form factor.

Release Date Speculations: February 2026 Announcement on the Horizon?

The reports that we received in the past were pointing toward a first-week-of-February 2026 announcement, and one of the new sources was very much confident about the February 5 date. Now, having said that, even though the pre-order pages are live, the fact is that there has been no teaser from DJI till now, which clearly means the announcement is still a few days away from now.

As we know, DJI generally posts teasers 3 to 4 days, or sometimes even 7 days, before the official announcement, and then they proceed with the final launch. So again, the website that listed the drone looks very credible, and they are also accepting pre-orders by charging a $99 early fee.

At the same time, we are again waiting for the final date of arrival, and as soon as we get any update regarding it, we will be posting it here on TheNewCamera.com.
