DJI launched the new DJI Avata drone globally. The company aims at providing a better first-person view (FPV) drone flight without compromising on agility, and easy control with the new Avata. Along with the drone, DJI has introduced new DJI Goggles 2 and the DJI Motion Controller that are compatible with the DJI Avata. Both new hardware will provide more in-flight control.

DJI Avata has been launched at $629 (roughly Rs 50,300) without a remote controller, motion controller, or goggles. This option will only work for those who already have a compatible model to control and view from the drone. The DJI Avata Pro-View Combo retails for $1388 (roughly Rs 1,11,000) and includes DJI Avata, DJI Goggles 2, and the DJI Motion Controller. The DJI Avata Fly Smart Combo retails for $1168 (roughly Rs 93,000) and includes DJI Avata, the DJI FPV Goggles V2 and the DJI Motion Controller.

DJI Avata Design

The drone gets a compact design. DJI claims that the company has stripped down the chassis of a traditional drone into a body built for speed and agility. The drone weighs only 410 grams and integrates aerodynamic propeller guards.

DJI Avata Camera

The new Avata comes with a stabilized camera, featuring a 1/1.7” CMOS sensor with 48 million effective pixels. The drone delivers imaging features like 4K/60fps and 2.7K/50/60/100/120fps video. The drone has a flight time of up to 18 minutes.

DJI Goggles 2 and DJI Motion Controller
