A U.S. retailer has begun accepting pre-orders for DJI’s long-rumoured Avata 360 drone, revealing pricing details and indicating that an official launch could be close, even as the Chinese drone maker has yet to make any public announcement.
US Drone Supply has quietly listed the Avata 360 on its website, positioning the model as the next entry in DJI’s Avata FPV lineup and a potential successor to the Avata 2. DJI has not published teasers, specifications or launch timelines for the drone.

The retailer’s listing suggests the Avata 360 has already been certified by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, allowing it to be sold and flown legally in the United States despite recent restrictions on new foreign-made drones. However, the website notes that the drone “was intended for sale in other markets,” which could mean standard DJI warranties may not apply to U.S. buyers.
According to US Drone Supply, DJI plans to sell the Avata 360 in four bundles, starting at $999 for a base package with one battery. Fly More bundles with additional batteries are listed at $1,299.99 and $1,799.99, while a Motion Fly More option replaces the standard controller with DJI’s Goggles N3. The retailer cautions that pricing may be subject to change.

US Drone Supply said shipments are expected to begin in late February, stating that “pre-orders should start shipping in late February,” a timeline that points to an official release within weeks. Based on recent launches, industry watchers expect China to be the first market to receive the Avata 360, with formal teasers likely to appear soon.
