Summary of "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.
