Just couple of months ago, Insta360 launches it Antigravity A1. Being the first company to launch a 360 deg camera on a drone has it’s advantage in terms of sales and marketing.
In this niche market that targets the videographers, there is somewhat space for another player, that is DJI, a tech company that is famous for it’s drone. Avata 360 is it’s answer to Antigravity A1.
After 4 months, DJI Avata 360 is ready to get some serious competition with the Antigraivity A1. First of all, specifcations wise, the DJI Avata 360 can shoot up to 8K at 60 fps with a large sensor size of 1/1.11 inch CMOS. This definitely is a plus for night shoot as larger sensor is definitely a plus. It can shoot up to 8K/60fps HDR video or 120MP photos.
With the footage, you can reframe it using DJI FLY or DJI Studio to get the best angle and shots without missing the shot as it captures 360 degree.

Afraid of damaging the lens ? The Avata 360 lens can be replaced by yourself by removing and snapping on a new one. Similar to other DJI camera products, it with 42GB of internal storage, you can record about 30 minutes of 360° video in 8K without needing a microSD card.
Both has a maximum flight time of around 23 minutes, while Antigravity A1 has a higher run time when paired with a higher capacity battery.
Transmssion wise, the DJI Avata 360 can reach up to 20 km which is double of wat the Antigravity A1 can do.
One of the more important difference in the weight. The DJI Avata 360 weighs above 249 grams. In Singapore, there are no registration required for drones below 249 gram. The rules are way stricter for drone such as DJ Avata 360 that weighs 455g.
| Feature | DJI Avata 360 | Antigravity A1 |
| Video Resolution | 8K @ 60fps | 8K @ 30fps |
| Sensor Size | Dual 1/1.1-inch CMOS | Dual 1/1.28-inch CMOS |
| Weight | 455g (C1 Category) | 249g (C0 Category) |
| Design | Fixed Cinewhoop (Ducts) | Foldable Arms |
| Max Flight Time | 23 Minutes | 24 / 39 Minutes (High-Cap Battery) |
| Transmission | O4+ (Up to 20km) | Proprietary (Up to 10km) |
For drones weighing above 250g, several key regulatory requirements apply. Registration is a must and mandatory, and operators must obtain a registration label through the CAAS portal before flying.
From 1 December 2025, all outdoor drone operations must be equipped with Broadcast Remote ID (B-RID), either built into the drone or added as an external module, to transmit identification details during flight.
In terms of operating limits, drones are generally restricted to a maximum altitude of 60 metres above mean sea level, unless specific permissions allow otherwise in designated areas. Additionally, certain recreational outdoor flights require a Class 2 Activity Permit, while commercial operations demand both an Operator Permit and an Unmanned Aircraft Pilot Licence (UAPL).
Back to reality, this device is particularly suitable for professional videographers for high quality aerial shoots. However, for casual or recreational users, it may feel excessive. Beyond its more advanced capabilities, as the device’s weight exceeds 249g, it is subject to mandatory registration with the authorities in many countries and regions. It might be difficult to get approval in time if your travel time is short. This added administrative step, along with potential usage restrictions, make it less appealing for drones that are below 249g, which usually has less restrictions (may require registration in other countries)
Last but not least, the Antigravity A1 is priced much higher at S$1869 (Standard Bundle) while the Avata with RC2 is priced at S$829, Fly more bundle at $1029, Motion Fly more bundle at S$1029 (includes DJI Goggles N3 + DJI RC Motion 3).
