DJI Avata 360 drone unveiled: dual cameras, 120MP, 8K HDR video at 60fps, 48GB storage, up to 23 minutes flight, very affordable.

The new model is priced at €459

DJI has unveiled the Avata 360 drone, which features a dual-lens setup built around square 1/1.1-inch CMOS sensors. Each sensor uses comparatively large 2.4 µm pixels, a design intended to improve results in challenging lighting.

According to DJI, the Avata 360 can capture photos up to 120 MP and record 8K HDR video at 60 frames per second in a full 360-degree view mode. There is also a single-lens option for more conventional filming at 4K 60 frames per second.

Because the drone records everything around it, you can reframe your footage later, pick alternative angles, or even produce several videos from a single flight. DJI also relies on its familiar flight-control technologies. The Avata 360 uses the O4+ transmission system, delivering a live feed at 1080p and 60 frames per second, with a claimed operating range of up to 20 km. The drone includes intelligent omnidirectional obstacle detection, which is meant to make handling more comfortable, particularly in tight spaces. Features such as ActiveTrack 360° and Spotlight Free are included.

If the front lens gets damaged, it can be replaced. There is 42 GB of built-in storage, and Wi‑Fi 6 is designed to speed up file transfers. DJI quotes a flight time of up to 23 minutes, while the drone weighs roughly 455 g.

The price is listed at around £409 or €459.
