Whether or not it makes the FPV drone a flying camera that’s ripe for a mainstream audience is another matter. Still, given the number of leaks we’ve seen in recent days, this fundamental Avata mystery should be solved sometime this month. Its expected 500g weight also means that, unlike the DJI Mini 3 Pro, it would need to be registered in most regions. And the apparent inclusion of DJI Airsense tech (an alert system that tells pilots when other aircraft are flying nearby) suggests the Avata will be at least as much of an outdoor drone as an indoor one. With Avata’s leaked box suggesting it’ll come with a Goggles 2 headset and a motion controller, it’s unlikely to come cheap – even if it should dip under the DJI FPV’s launch price of $1,299 / £1,249 / AU$2,099. But that pocket drone also forgets to include a half-decent camera or battery, and so far the DJI Avata leaks suggest it’s aiming more at FPV enthusiasts than those who want a point-and-shoot FPV camera.

The recent Snap Pixy attempted to solve some of these issues with automated modes like Hyperspeed or Jump Cut, plus subject-tracking skills.

The Avata seems likely to be hailed as an FPV drone for beginners, but what’s made DJI’s other drones so good for novices is their automated flying modes – something that makes far less sense on an FPV drone. The problem, and the one we’re still unsure the DJI Avata will be able to solve, is that those kinds of videos demand some high-level flying skills that take years to develop.

The company’s broader aim appears to be bringing professional cinematography tools to a wider audience – and in this sense, the DJI Avata could be its attempt to help all kinds of filmmakers shoot the kinds of spectacular FPV drone videos (like Tesla’s Giga Factory tour (opens in new tab)) that have gone viral in recent years. This would mean that, in indoor settings, pilots would only need to follow the health and safety regulations of the building.īut the fundamental question remains – how many people need an indoor FPV drone, or a small outdoor one that’s likely less powerful than DJI’s current FPV drone? Unexpected flying objectĭJI clearly knows its audience, so we’re looking forward to seeing it answer these questions when the DJI Avata inevitably launches very soon. This is because in many regions, including the US and UK, drone laws only cover outdoor flights because indoor ones don’t affect other aircraft.
