DJI: New compact drone reveals itself with Avata 3 or Neo 3 rumoured

Hardly any time has passed since DJI released the Avata 360 drone globally. A rival to the Antigravity A1 (curr. $1,599 on Amazon), the Avata 360 can capture 360-degree or first-person view (FPV) footage in 8K and 30 FPS. For reference, the Avata 360 is also the first new Avata drone in around two years.

While DJI may not start shipping its latest Avata drone until later this month, it seems that the company is already actively testing a new small drone with propeller guards like the Avata 2 and Neo before it. By the looks of things, the drone pictured contains a single camera setup, too. Currently, no definitive evidence exists confirming whether this is the Avata 3 or the Neo 3.

Nonetheless, various sources suspect that the video below is showing the former rather than the latter. It could be a while before more substantial leaks emerge, though. For instance, previous public testing like this suggests that DJI will not be launching this drone soon. Instead, it could be upwards of a year before the Avata 3 makes its way to market, rather than an Avata 360 and Avata 3 doubleheader.
