DJI Avata 360 Leaked Price Undercuts Insta360 Antigravity A1 Before Launch

Leaked European retailer pricing has placed DJI's incoming Avata 360 in direct competition with the Insta360 Antigravity A1, with a drone-only entry price of approximately $528 converted from the leaked sheet, against an Antigravity A1 that doesn't offer a standalone purchase at all.

The price sheet was obtained by TheNewCamera through Jasper Ellens, described as "one of the most trusted and authentic sources" by the outlet, which published its comparison on March 16. TheNewCamera converted the European figures using a mid-March 2026 rate of roughly 1 EUR to 1.15 USD and cautioned that "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."

That figure, however, sits well below a separate set of insider screenshots cited by Dronehundred, drawing on Imaging-Resource reporting, which placed the expected U.S. launch price between $1,199 and $1,399. Dronehundred estimated a UK price of £1,049 to £1,199 based on DJI's typical regional conversion strategy, positioning the Avata 360 above the Avata 2 but below a full FPV-plus-360 two-camera setup. The two price signals, a $528 drone-only figure and a $1,199-to-$1,399 launch range, remain unreconciled across the sources, and DJI has not issued official pricing.

What the leaks do agree on is the hardware proposition. The Avata 360 is expected to carry a dual-lens 360-degree camera capable of 8K capture, compared to the 4K wide-angle on the existing Avata 2. The added lens system comes with tradeoffs: leaked specs describe slightly reduced agility relative to the Avata 2, a shorter flight time on a new battery system that will not accept existing Avata 2 batteries, and a 360-degree reframing workflow targeting creators and vloggers rather than pure FPV racing pilots.

For pilots already invested in DJI's ecosystem, accessory compatibility is a mixed picture. DJI Goggles 3, Motion Controller 3, and FPV Remote Controller 3 are listed as likely compatible, while Goggles 2 and Goggles Integra are rated as possible with a firmware update. The battery incompatibility will be the harder pill, particularly for Avata 2 owners in the UK already navigating weight classification rules. Community discussion there anticipates the Avata 360 will land between 300 and 450 grams given its dual-lens design, almost certainly clearing the 250-gram threshold that would otherwise exempt it from stricter registration requirements.

The Insta360 Antigravity A1, which launched in late 2025, has no drone-only SKU, requiring buyers to commit to a full bundle from the outset. That structural difference is central to TheNewCamera's value framing, though the exact Antigravity A1 bundle prices were not reproduced in the comparison excerpts available.

TechRadar had previously flagged that DJI's first 360-degree drone had "leaked again" with an official launch described as "very soon," and Dronehundred cited FCC filing dates alongside Imaging-Resource leaks as the basis for a December 2025 announcement window that has clearly slipped. Whether the official reveal arrives with pricing closer to $528 or $1,399 will determine whether the Avata 360 disrupts the creator FPV segment or simply fills a gap above it.
