We were hoping to see a new drone from DJI at some point this month, but the latest rumours suggest we might have a little longer to wait. Those who have been following the story have been expecting the brand to release a ‘cinewoop’ drone called the DJI Avata. It’d be a spin on theDJI FPV(pictured above), but this time suitable for indoor flight in confined spaces.

BAD NEWS: I know a lot of people are waiting for Avata news, but it seems that Avata is going to delay the release. I heard about the related factory expansion and moving to a new location…July 22, 2022

DJI is the brand behind many of today’sbest drones, and the Avata would be the next to join the lineup after May’sDJI Mini 3 Pro. Based on what we know so far though, we’d expect it to share more DNA with DJI FPV – a first-person flier launched in March 2021 – but this time designed for indoor flight.

If that’s the case, it’d be quite a different proposition from DJI, which up until this point has focused mainly on drones for outdoor flight. AnotherTweet in May from @DealsDronepredicted a ~500g weight and improved battery life.

We were expecting to see the Avata released alongside some new DJI FPV Goggles – according to the Tweet linked above, perhaps ones that can be connected to your phone – but a logistical delay suggests we’re going to have to hang on a little longer for those too.
