The DJI Avata is a compact quad copter FPV drone released by the Chinese technology company DJI.
The Avata was announced in August 2022 as DJI's first FPV cinewhoop drone. The drone is a quadcopter and is smaller than the preceding DJI FPV, weighing only , and has built-in propeller guards. The Avata lacks the three-axis gimbal and collision avoidance system typical of DJI's camera drones, though it does have downward-facing cameras and infrared sensors for maintaining altitude. The Avata has a 48-megapixel camera with a 1/1.7" CMOS sensor, capable of shooting 4K video at 60 frames per second, and uses an O3+ transmission system to transmit video to the pilot's goggles. The drone has an ADS-B receiver to alert the pilot of nearby aircraft, and has 20 gigabytes of internal storage, allowing it to capture footage even when no MicroSD card in inserted. The Avata also has a "Turtle mode", which flips the drone upright in the event of an upside-down landing. Power is provided by a 2420 mAh battery, giving the Avata a flight time of 18 minutes.
The Avata has three flight modes; "Normal", "Sport", and "Manual". Both Normal and Sport modes use GNSS and the downward-facing sensors for stabilization. Normal mode also uses GNSS for location holding, and the maximum speed is limited to . In Sport mode, GNSS is only used for stabilization, allowing for increased agility and a maximum speed of . Manual mode disables both GNSS and the downward-facing sensors, allowing for maximum maneuverability and a top speed of .
An improved model, the Avata 2, was announced in April 2024. The Avata 2 features a flatter and wider polycarbonate frame than its predecessor, weighing , and a 12MP camera with a larger 1/1.3" sensor. The drone also has downward and rear-facing collision avoidance sensors, 46GB of internal storage, and an O4 video transmission system. Battery capacity was decreased to 2150 mAh, though flight time was increased to 23 minutes.
In November 2025, official promotional images of a new model, the Avata 360, were leaked to the public. A potential competitor to the Antigravity A1, the Avata 360 will be the first DJI drone with a 360-degree camera.
