DJI rumors are heating up again, with fresh leaks pointing to an imminent Avata 360 launch and growing evidence that the Osmo Pocket 4 is on the way. After a quiet stretch, DJI’s next wave of products is starting to come into focus.
Early reception (mid-April 2026)
Early reviews describe the Avata 360 as “both brilliant and frustrating.” In a back-to-back flight test published April 14, the Avata 2 outperformed the Avata 360 in traditional FPV metrics — the 360° capture is the unique value, not raw flight performance.
