00:00Meet the DJI Avata 360.
00:02Now the anti-gravity A1 may have been the world's first 360 camera drone, but now the
00:06market leader has arrived with its own first 360 drone, and DJI is doing things differently.
00:11Like the A1, its Avata 360 shoots auto-stitched 8K footage from dual 1-inch sensors, allowing
00:17pilots to reframe their aerial videos and photos after the fact to create some panoramic
00:21or even acrobatic camera moves.
00:24But the Avata 360 isn't just a 360 drone, it's also a true FPV flyer.
00:29In our tests we found it's noticeably nippier and more responsive than the competition,
00:33especially in windy conditions.
00:35Switch to a single lens mode and you've basically got an Avata 2, able to race through narrow
00:39gaps, drift in flight and perform aerial stunts.
00:43And the fact that you get a choice between flying using FPV goggles and a motion controller
00:48or a standard RC2 twin-stick controller makes the Avata 360 much more flexible than the
00:54anti-gravity A1, which only supports goggles flight.
00:57You use the Avata 360's RC controller and there's no need to bring along a buddy to play spotter.
01:02You can buy the Avata 360 drone on its own for just £409 or AU$799.
01:08Although, picking it up in either of the Fly More Combo bundles, which include 3 batteries,
01:13a charging cradle, a carrying bag, a take-off landing mat and either an RC2 controller or
01:18a set of FPV goggles and a motion controller, will up that price to £829 or AU$1,619.
01:26It's still much better the value than the A1, which costs well over £1,000 or AU$2,000,
01:32mind you.
01:33However, there's no pricing or availability for the US at launch.
01:36It might not have been the first 360 drone but the DJI Avata 360 might just now be the best.
