I'm torn between waiting for the DJI Avata 360 (rumored March 30th US release) and getting the Antigravity A1 that's already available. Both seem to offer 360? recording capabilities, but I'm not sure which would be better for my travel vlogs.

The A1 looks amazing but I've heard mixed things about battery life. The Avata 360 sounds promising but there's uncertainty about DJI's future support given all the regulatory issues.

Has anyone here tried the A1? Worth getting now or should I wait for DJI's offering?

I've been flying the A1 for a few weeks now and it's genuinely impressive! Weighing just 249 grams, this model integrates an 8K 360? camera system for immersive footage, paired with FPV goggles that provide an intuitive, real-time piloting experience ideal for creative aerial shots. With a flight time of approximately 24 minutes with the standard battery - the battery life is workable if you plan ahead.

Honestly, I'd wait for the Avata 360. If there's one unannounced DJI drone that feels closest to launch heading into 2026, it's the Avata 360. The Avata 360 is expected to combine DJI's ducted cinewhoop-style FPV drone with an integrated 360-degree camera Plus DJI's ecosystem and support are still unmatched, regulatory concerns aside.

Consider your timeline and risk tolerance. A newly updated banner on DJI's official Amazon US storefront now points to March 30 at 8 a.m. EST as the release timing for its upcoming DJI Avata 360 drone If you need something now, the A1 delivers. If you can wait a couple months, the Avata 360 might offer better long-term value.
