Are the DJI Avata rumors true? Is DJI planning to follow up the release of its excellent DJI Mini 3 Pro with a more unusual flying machine? 

The Avata, as the leaks have called it, appears to be a cinewhoop drone with 3in propellors, which means it should be capable of shooting dramatic indoor footage and fly safely around people or in tight spaces.

If this is the case, the DJI Avata would differ from DJI's other drones, which are mainly designed for shooting epic outdoor footage. This would explain why it has a new name, rather than slotting into DJI's existing Mavic, Air, or Mini ranges.

The DJI Avata has been tipped to have a radically different design to DJI's other drones, too. Some apparently leaked images appear to back this up, showing some large, built-in prop guards and a seemingly fixed camera (rather than DJI's usual three-axis gimbal). It seems we can also expect to see some new FPV Goggles arrive to match the Avata.

As reported by DroneDJ, the DJI Avata has shown up in the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) database, signaling it’s passed the extensive testing wireless-capable devices must go through in order to be released in the United States. 

The entry shows the DJI Avata branding on the battery compartment and details about its battery, including its 2,420mAh capacity - an additional 420mAh compared to DJI’s FPV drone, which has a flight time of roughly 20 minutes. It’s difficult to know just how much additional flight time this could translate too, however, without knowing the weight, efficiency of the motors, and other details that may impact battery life.
