DJI Avata 360 против Avata 2 – Что это за крутая фигня?

Key Product Reviewed

DJI Avata 360 (reviewed/compared against DJI Avata 2 and 360° antigravity drones (Antigravity A1 / “A1”)).

Main Features Mentioned

360° Camera System

• Uses two ultra-wide 180° cameras that are software-stitched into a single 360° sphere.
• The drone is designed to be flat, with lenses protruding so they aren’t blocked.

Camera/Sensor + Video Specs

• Described as having an ~1-inch class “square” sensor.
• Records 8K at 60fps, but 8K applies to the entire sphere.
• When choosing an angle in editing (cropping), output effectively becomes ~2.7K-quality.
• Trade-off noted:
  • Smaller viewing angle (more zoom) → more quality degradation.
  • Best quality is achieved by maximizing the viewing angle, but this can introduce large distortions.

Lens Protection + Automated Lens Rotation

• Uses a new suspension/landing design to protect protruding lenses.
• Camera rotates automatically during takeoff to reveal lenses.
• Camera rotates back before landing so it lands on rubber feet.
• DJI includes a landing pad, which the reviewer says is heavy (the pad weighs more than the drone).

Lens Replaceability

• A thread around the lens allows manual lens replacement.
• Reviewer scratched one lens, highlighting scratching risk.

Single-Lens Mode

• Lens can switch to a single-lens shooting mode with one button.
• Reviewer wasn’t impressed, especially regarding adding filters.

“Three-in-one” Concept

• Positioned as: regular drone + 360 drone + FPV.
• FPV manual control isn’t fully supported like Acro (manual mode restrictions are attributed to lens fragility/crash risk).

Control Options / User Experience

• Firmware may allow connecting a standard FPV remote, but without full manual Acro.
• Reviewer also tested with DJI Avata 2 glasses + motion controller.

Pros (What the Reviewer Liked)

• Very cool 360 “freedom of angles”
  • “Dozens of angles” from one flight; the camera captures everything at once.
• Practical creative tool for cinematic effects
  • Example: flying under/alongside a palm tree where normal forward flight would miss key action—360 makes it fixable by choosing/creating the shot angle in post.
  • Reviewer describes a “Hollywood-style” feel similar to multi-operator filming, but done with one operator plus post camera rotation.
• Regular remote control is easier
  • With the regular DJI remote, the reviewer says you don’t need to worry as much about gimbal orientation or drone height because you’ll stay in-frame.
• Vertical + horizontal formats captured simultaneously
  • Reviewer claims both formats are captured without quality loss.
• Tracking mode felt like a “new level”
  • Example: drone flies forward but framing resembles a backward shot (based on sensor/recording logic).
• Automated lens rotation + rubber feet
  • Reduces lens exposure risk during takeoff/landing.
• Strong fit for editors
  • Explicitly recommended to editors/people who like post-production planning.

Cons (Main Complaints)

Size and Weight

• Bigger and heavier than Avata 2; roughly compared to a five-inch drone.
• Reviewer finds flying near people scary due to the physical presence.

Motor Noise

• Major negative.
• Claims Avata 360 is much noisier than Avata 2.
• Compared to Antigravity A1, Avata 360 “loses by a long shot” (A1 described as “super quiet”).
• Reviewer felt uncomfortable flying near neighbors due to loudness.

Not What They Expected

• Looks like Avata; reviewer expected a new generation with updated goggles/FPV setup.
• Basic kit includes a regular remote control.

Video Quality Concerns vs Avata 2 and A1

• Compared to Avata 2, reviewer says Avata 360 footage looks worse at first glance, so it isn’t a direct replacement.
• Versus Antigravity A1, Avata 360 video quality is significantly inferior.
• Stitching/gluing line is said to be narrower than some competitors, and stitching “very cool,” but overall quality still judged lower than Avata 2/A1 by the reviewer.

Lens Scratch Risk

• Protruding lenses are vulnerable.
• Reviewer scratched one lens.

Single-Lens Mode Filter Difficulty

• Hard to attach filters because the lens is large and protruding.
• Reviewer isn’t sure if filters will be available.

Editing Complexity / Time Cost

• 360 footage is very time-consuming and difficult to edit.
• Reviewer spent many hours, mostly on installing/building the 360 sphere.
• If you don’t enjoy editing, reviewer says it’s probably not for you.

FPV Experience Not Best

• Reviewer felt DJI’s 360 FPV control experience is less good than Antigravity A1.
• With head tracking on DJI, reviewer felt nauseous.
• Glasses detail/clarity was criticized compared to Antigravity.

Comparisons Made (Important)

Avata 360 vs Avata 2

• Avata 2: easier/simpler flying; much quieter; generally better perceived image quality.
• Avata 360: bigger/heavier + noisier; strong 360 creative benefits, but not a direct Avata 2 replacement.

Avata 360 vs Antigravity A1 (360 “Antigravity” Drone)

• A1: described as much lighter (“feather”), super quiet, with better video quality.
• A1 workflow praised: head turns provide convenient partial control.
• DJI glasses on Avata 360: poorer detail; head-turn control made reviewer nauseous.

Oosm 360

• Reviewer says lens size is similar; DJI basically built their 360 camera into a drone.
• Mentions stitching/gluing improvements (gluing line almost invisible) relative to typical stitched 360 footage.

User Experience Notes (How It “Feels”)

• After a few flights, reviewer says they start to get used to the size, but noise remains a concern.
• Takes/lands conveniently due to automatic lens rotation and rubber feet, but the landing pad is heavy.
• Key workflow requirement: to get good results, you must plan flight paths and shot direction in advance; otherwise it becomes “tens of hours” of editing.
• Safety/comfort: reviewer felt uneasy flying near people due to size + loudness.

Unique Incidents / Practical Observations

• Crash into a boat while flying near water; drone ended up on the boat roof (didn’t fall into water).
• Lens scratch occurred during a fire show when flying near a fireman accidentally.

Overall Verdict (Based on the Video)

DJI Avata 360 is best as a specialized creative/360 effects tool—not a travel-friendly replacement for Avata 2.

• If you enjoy editing and planning shots, the 360 angle freedom is a major win.
• If you want quiet, lightweight, easy flying and simpler editing, the reviewer suggests it underperforms—especially on:
  • Noise
  • Size/weight
  • Perceived image quality vs Avata 2 and Antigravity A1

Speakers / Views

• Single main speaker/reviewer dominates the video, covering comparisons, complaints, and editing workflow experience.
• No other distinct quoted speakers; reviewer also mentions “experienced pilots from Bali / Indonesians” who agreed with size/noise impressions regarding Antigravity A1.
