DJI Avata 360 Release Date Confirmed — Will It Shine?

DJI has finally announced the exciting news. After weeks of anticipation from DJI fans, the release date for the Avata 360 has now been confirmed. According to information shared on DJI’s official social media channels, the DJI Avata 360 will be officially unveiled on March 26, 2026, at 12:00 PM GMT. Below is the announcement about the Avata 360 release that DJI shared on YouTube:

The promotional slogan for this drone is “Above It All, See It All.” It is DJI’s first 360-degree FPV drone, and in the promotional teaser, DJI positions it as an “8K flagship 360° drone.”

Is this drone legal for purchase in the U.S.?

Although the FCC has imposed restrictions on DJI drones, the Avata 360 had already received FCC approval as early as November 19, 2025 (FCC ID: SS3-DVN3NT). The FCC restrictions prevent new drone models from obtaining certification, but any drone that has already been approved by the FCC can continue to be legally sold and used.

This means the Avata 360 is not affected by the current restrictions, and selling or flying this drone in the United States remains completely legal — which is certainly good news for DJI fans.

Although the official release date of the DJI Avata 360 has not yet arrived, DroneXL has reportedly already had access to the drone and has been using it for some time. However, due to certain restrictions, they are not yet allowed to discuss the drone’s specifications or technical features in detail.

From the image they shared, we can see that all of the propellers are fully protected. This kind of design allows pilots to fly more confidently around obstacles without worrying too much about damage caused by minor collisions. That said, we do not recommend flying drones over crowds. Always follow local drone regulations and fly responsibly.

In fact, the DJI Avata 360 is equipped with two cameras—one facing forward and the other facing backward. To capture a full 360-degree view, the drone automatically rotates the cameras so that one points upward while the other points downward. This setup enables the drone to record the surrounding environment from every direction, allowing users to view the scene in multiple ways and edit the footage later as needed.

Previously, this type of immersive 360-degree capture was mainly possible with cameras like the Osmo 360. Now, a drone is capable of delivering the same kind of experience.

We can also see from the images that the drone itself has a very flat design. This is intended to prevent the drone’s body from appearing in the footage when using the 360° cameras, which could otherwise interfere with the viewing experience. As a result, when capturing 360-degree panoramic videos, the drone effectively disappears from the frame, allowing only the scenery you want to capture to be visible.

The Avata series is well known for FPV flying, but whether the Avata 360 will deliver a better or worse FPV experience compared to the Avata 2 remains to be seen. We’ll have to wait until the official release to find out. I, for one, can’t wait to see the drone’s full specifications and technical details.
