Just after the launch of the DJI Mini 3 Pro, the drone maker started leaking information again for its next new drone, the DJI Avata, which seems to be a DJI Cinewhoop drone expected to be launched this summer.

The DJI Avata seems to be an attempt by the Chinese drone maker to create the first DJI Cinewhoop drone that is very lightweight, ideal for indoor use, and able to take really good aerial photos and video. Expect a quality level similar to the DJI Mini 3 Pro, which is really impressive as it gives the DJI Air 2S with its 1-inch sensor a run for its money.

This morning, DealsDrone tweeted the following information and photos.

  • Avata is compact and weighs about 500g
  • Can fly indoors
  • The photo quality is much better (guess that the Mini 3 Pro is the same)
  • Greatly improved battery life
  • Manual mode is not supported
  • Head chase mode
  • Vibration function
  • Touchpad for glasses menu
  • Glasses can connect to phone

It seems that the images below are illustrations of what the DJI indoor drone could look like. We do not believe that these images resemble the final production-ready DJI Avata.

DealsDrone also shared the following illustration which seems to be from a DJI patent application.
