DJI Avata 360 & Pocket 4 Leaks 2025: Everything You Need to Know About DJI’s Game-Changing New Products

As we enter January 2025, the drone and camera industry is buzzing with excitement about DJI’s upcoming releases. Despite facing regulatory challenges in the US market, DJI’s upcoming Osmo Pocket 4 gimbal camera has appeared in U.S. FCC filings, revealing key hardware improvements1, and multiple trusted sources have revealed extensive details about the revolutionary Avata 360 drone.

The Turkish leak you mentioned from Igor Bogdanov, one of the most trusted DJI leakers, confirms what we’ve been hearing: DJI is preparing to launch groundbreaking products that will redefine both the FPV drone and portable camera markets.

DJI Avata 360: The World’s First Consumer 360° FPV Drone

Breaking News: Confirmed Specifications

The DJI Avata 360 is set for a March 2025 release, with the official announcement window between February 25 – March 11, 2025 (most insiders point to March 4, 10:00 AM EST)1. This isn’t just another Avata upgrade – it’s a completely new category.

Key Specifications:

• This is NOT a simple Avata 2 successor — it is a completely new category DJI is calling “360° Unlimited FPV”1
• Around 38 MP per frame in some leaks, and up to ~120 MP panoramic stills, matching Osmo 360’s 120 MP 360 photo capability2
• Expected specs include 8K video, dual 1/1.1-inch CMOS sensors (possibly the same ones used in the DJI Osmo 360), improved battery life, and features like obstacle avoidance and Follow mode3
• Under 249 grams (no FAA registration required)4

Revolutionary Features That Beat the Competition

The DJI RC controller will show live footage from the drone, suggesting it’s going to come with a single-lens mode, allowing you to use just one of the lenses to shoot standard, non-360-degree photos and videos5. This unique feature gives it a significant advantage over the Insta360 Antigravity A1, which can only shoot in 360 degrees.

The unit itself will rotate 90 degrees to front-face one of the lenses for single lens video through a rotating camera unit5, making it incredibly versatile for both traditional and 360-degree content creation.

Pricing and Availability

According to recent leaks:

• The DJI Avata 360 could start at 2,988 yuan (roughly $426) for the drone alone6
• Standard Combo China equivalent: $569 Estimated US price: $6807
• Fly More Combo China equivalent: $811 Estimated US price: $9997

The DJI Avata 360 already cleared FCC registration before December 23, 2025, meaning it is fully cleared for sale in the United States7.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4: The Ultimate Vlogging Revolution

Dual-Camera System Changes Everything

The most exciting development for the Pocket 4 is spy shots showing a Pocket 4 being tested alongside a Pocket 3, and the new model appears to have a dual-lens setup8. This represents a massive departure from the single-camera philosophy of the series.

Confirmed Technical Specifications:

• Video specs rumored include 6K at 60 fps, 4K at 240 fps, and 10 bit D Log M9
• An integrated Li Po pack, model BHX214 1545 7.74, rated at 1545 mAh with a nominal voltage of 7.74 V, translating into a meaningful bump in real world runtime compared to the Pocket 39
• Recent leaks show Standard Variant: Single-lens setup, dual buttons below the display, slimmer gimbal, and upgraded sensor10

Release Date Update

Expected Release: Was rumored for Dec 18 (today), now pushed to January 2026. The delay is reportedly due to accessory manufacturing issues, specifically the new wireless mic ecosystem and modular battery handles11.

New Accessories

Something called the DJI Osmo FrameTap has been registered at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the US12, suggesting a wireless remote control accessory that will enhance the camera’s functionality.

Other DJI Products Coming in 2026

Future Releases

It is very likely that we will see an Air 4 and Avata 3 in 2026 to continue keeping all of DJI’s products upgraded with the most recent features13.

Impact of US Regulations

If a security audit is not completed by a US agency by December 23, 2025, DJI will be added to the FCC Covered List, banning new product approvals11. However, products that received FCC approval before this date, including the Avata 360, remain available for sale in the US market.
