What we like about DJI Avata 360

  • Intuitive flight control with the RC Motion 3 allows beginners to fly within minutes
  • Stunning 8K/60fps HDR spherical video capture provides total creative flexibility in post-production
  • Robust cinewhoop-style frame with integrated propeller guards makes it durable for tight spaces
  • Replaceable lenses and modular design allow for quick field repairs after crashes
  • Goggles N3/Goggles 3 provide an immersive, low-latency FPV experience with features like real-world passthrough
  • Eliminates the pressure to frame shots perfectly during flight since everything is captured in 360 degrees

What we don't like about DJI Avata 360

  • Noticeable loss of sharpness and presence of stitching artefacts when reframing 8K 360 footage
  • Limited real-world battery life typically lasting between 16 and 20 minutes
  • Slower post-production workflow due to the extra steps required for stitching and reframing
  • Heavier than the 250g weight limit (approx. 466g), leading to stricter regulations in some regions
  • Weaker low-light performance compared to dedicated standard camera drones like the Mavic 3 Pro
  • Lenses are exposed and require careful handling to avoid scratches when on the ground

Verdict

The DJI Avata 360 is a flagship FPV drone featuring two 1/1.1-inch square CMOS sensors capable of capturing 8K/60fps HDR 360° video and 120MP photos, or switching to Single Lens mode for 4K/60fps footage. Weighing 455g, it offers 23 minutes of flight time, 42GB of internal storage, and the O4+ video transmission system with a range of up to 20km (FCC). Key pros include its unique 'shoot first, reframe later' capability, omnidirectional obstacle sensing with night-vision LiDAR, and a high-speed 100MB/s Wi-Fi 6 transfer. However, users should note the heavier weight compared to the Avata 2, a potentially complex reframing workflow that can slow down content delivery, and the fact that 360° sensors typically lose some effective resolution when cropped into standard formats.
