DJI Avata 360 is about to become official, and the price is very clear to us thanks to leaks from European retailers. The authentic price sheet just before the announcement has been made available to us by one of the most trusted and authentic sources, Jasper Ellens. Also, we may have a $10 to $15 price difference in the final pricing due to changes in currency values, since they do not always remain the same. And we calculated the price of the Avata 360 kit from the European retailer price list.
Here we are comparing the price of the DJI Avata 360 with the Insta360 Antigravity A1 drone. Now, just after the official announcement of the Antigravity A1, it is not as popular among users as it was hyped up before the announcement. There may be two reasons behind that. The first and foremost is the price, which we are going to compare against the Avata 360, and you will have a clear idea of the difference you have to pay for choosing the Antigravity A1.
Other than that, the biggest factor is the limitation of 360-degree view capture. Yes, it may sound exciting for some users that they are able to capture a full 360-degree view, but some users still prefer to have FPV-style shooting, or they simply want to use the normal front camera. In that case, the 360 video workflow can become a problem for them, since they have to process it, capture the frame, recompose it, and handle the entire editing process.
Why the 360° Drone Battle Matters in 2026
Traditional FPV drones like the DJI Avata 2 excel in agile flight, but 360° models add full-sphere capture for VR. The best part is the new Avata 360 can do both with its rotating gimbal; it can shoot traditional as well as 360 style shooting. Technically, you get true creative freedom with Avata 360. The Antigravity A1 (launched late 2025) pioneered the category with its ultra-light 249g design and Insta360 integration. Now, DJI enters with ecosystem advantages, replaceable lenses, and aggressive pricing.
Yes, we will be doing specification comparison, as well as price comparison, altogether
Head-to-Head Price Comparison: DJI Avata 360 vs Antigravity A1 (US Approximate Pricing)
Prices are based on current official Antigravity bundles (USD) and leaked European Avata 360 figures converted at ~1 EUR ≈ 1.15 USD (mid-March 2026 rates). US pricing for Avata 360 may adjust slightly at launch, but is expected to align closely or be even more competitive.
| Bundle Tier / Comparison | DJI Avata 360 (Approx. USD) | Insta360 Antigravity A1 (USD) | Price Difference (Savings with DJI) |
| Entry / Drone + Basic Setup | Drone Only: ~$528 | Not Available (No standalone) | N/A (Antigravity requires full bundle) |
| Mid-Tier / Fly More with Standard Controller | Fly More Combo (RC 2): ~$1,080 | Standard Bundle: $1,599 | ~$519 cheaper |
| Motion / Immersive Mid Bundle | Motion Fly More Combo (RC Motion 3 + Goggles N3): ~$1,080 | Explorer Bundle: $1,899 | ~$819 cheaper |
| Premium / Full High-End Kit | Premium Combo (Goggles N3 + RC 2): ~$1,333 | Infinity Bundle: $1,999 | ~$666 cheaper |
Bottom line on pricing: Even DJI’s top Premium Combo (~$1,333) costs less than Antigravity’s entry-level Standard Bundle ($1,599). Accessories tell the same story – DJI batteries at ~$91 vs. higher Antigravity extras, and prop sets at just $10.

Who Should Buy Which in the US?
- Choose DJI Avata 360 if budget, ecosystem compatibility, or value is your priority. At roughly half the cost for similar bundles, it’s a game-changer for hobbyists, YouTubers, and pros upgrading without breaking the bank.
- Choose Antigravity A1 if you need the lightest 360 drone, unique Insta360 editing tools, or don’t mind paying extra for innovation. It’s positioned as luxury, but recent discounts (sometimes 15% off) narrow the gap slightly.
With the DJI Avata 360 launch just days away (March 26, 2026), expect pre-order buzz and potential little bit US pricing tweaks. The price difference makes DJI the clear value leader in the 2026 360° drone race.
