I scratched the bottom lens less than 10 minutes into ownership. Then I scratched it again on another day. I'm not sure if it's just on mine, but the camera lock is very loose, and removing the cover often turns it. I am used to all my other drones where I just pop the cover and set it down. Well, on the 360, the lens contacts the pavement. Sigh. Also, if you put it into the case with the lens down...the cover comes off as you pull it out, so watch for that before putting it down.

Anyway, I have a lens kit on order but there's no ETA. Anyone aware of a place with the kits in stock?

Second question; ideas on removing the lenses without the special tool? I'd happily swap lenses, as I rarely need the upwards video, and mostly care about the downward side. I've tried lightly with a plastic tool but can't get enough connection to remove it. I don't want to damage the ring.

Sad photo added so you can all laugh at me.

avata 360 vs antigravity a1 and the 60fps gap is more noticeable than i thought

been seeing people compare these two a lot lately so figured i'd look at this one closely. both look great but the avata 360 side has noticeably better water detail to me, you can make out individual reflections off the boats where the A1 side kinda blends them together. the avata360 shoots 8k60 vs the A1's 8k30 which on paper sounds like it only matters for video smoothness but even in a still frame you can tell theres more information being captured

DJI Avata 360 – Goggles N3 and RC Motion 3 won't power on without USB connection to iPhone

Hi everyone,

I recently got the DJI Avata 360 Fly More Pack (Goggles N3 + RC Motion 3). Everything is activated, all devices are on the latest firmware, and the system works perfectly once connected.

The issue: Both the Goggles N3 and the RC Motion 3 will not power on independently. When I press the power button, the LED stays on for about 3 seconds and then turns off. They only stay powered on when connected via USB to my iPhone running DJI Fly.

Once connected and powered on via USB, I can unplug the cable and everything runs normally – video feed, control, flight – no issues at all.

What works fine without any USB:

  • DJI Avata 360 (drone)
  • DJI RC2

What I've tried:

  • All firmware up to date (Goggles N3: V01.00.0900, RC Motion 3: V01.00.0200)
  • Activated all devices via DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drones) on PC
  • Verified activation via DJI account

My theory: Since neither the Goggles N3 nor the RC Motion 3 have built-in GPS, DJI may require the phone connection at startup for Remote ID compliance. But I'm not 100% sure if this is by design or a bug.

My question: Is this normal behavior for this setup? Can anyone with Goggles N3 + RC Motion 3 confirm whether their devices power on independently without a phone connected?

Thanks!

Anyone have this shell cover thing g?

Stumbled on this. Looks like it would be a good solution for tossing the Avata360 into a bag etc and offering some moderate protection?

I just found this on AliExpress: | Protective Case For DJI Avata360 Shockproof Hard Case Protective Box Scratch-Resistant For DJI Avata360 Drone Accessories

Black flicker in footage

I get occassional black split second flickers on my footage 8k 30fps which technically is wrecking all my footage. I can forgive it for now, but going forward, this isn't really acceptable.

Anyone else had this, and what could it be?

It was 40m off the ground, so not sensor tripping out over obstacle.
Not really changed any transmission stuff YET.

But I will only spot this when I am home, so its kinda of lame you have no idea if this happens until you get home. IN which case, going back is not always possible. On holiday, or location far away etc.

To date, its happened on ALL of my videos, I have done about half a dozen at different locations.

Same split second black flicker.
I may try recording to SD card tomorrow to see if this does anything, I can live with it if it does as I have some high level SD cards, but if it happens there too I may have to return.

Everything is on auto atm. Seemed the best way to handle such complex exposure scenarios but maybe manual weill help.

Guys need help. AVATA 360 purchased in mainland china

I just purchased a DJI Ata 360 Drone combo back in China. I had no idea that now in China you need to have a Chinese SIM card and CAAC registration. So when I connected my drone to my DJI app and activated it and updated the firmware then the moment I attempt to fly, it showed that OK you cannot do that unless until you register. I will be going back to India in a few days. Is there any way that I can deactivate the drone again put it back to factory state then take it to india and then again do the activation process. Will that allow me to register the Drone on DJI and the flight restriction which I am getting in China will be removed ? Any kind of help and information will be appreciated.

This A1 vs Avata 360 coastal comparison been on my mind. Both look good but the color tone is pretty different. Avata 360 side the ocean and sky feel closer to what I see irl and the buildings in the back hold their detail well. A1 leans a bit more saturated on the water which some people might dig that more. I just hate spending forever color correcting so whatever looks right straight out the drone wins for me... You guys grade your coastal shots much or just send it

360 props

Does anyone have a source for DJI props? Can't get them from DJI and can't find them elsewhere. It may be that they can't be found but thought I'd check.

backpack / rigid backpack for A360 plus perhaps Neo2

Does anyone have anything that holds the Avata360 fly more goggles combo/RC2 and perhaps the Neo 2 in a small pocket. The bag it comes with is great but no room for anything other than the full combo and it's a shoulder bag.
Looking for backpack or even a hard case that's a backpack to take all the kit with me and not have to take 2 separate bags.

Wonder if a camera cube would work from peak design - trouble is the 360 would need to go flat taking up a bunch of room so I'm looking on Aliexpress for something more elegant etc and useful for a day trip.

Anyone tried window launch/landing? ft. Mrs’ unconventional trust and support

context: we were both in the bedroom, kids went out to the playground with grandma. It’s been a while so we wanted to check on the kids but too lazy to leave the room… so I came up with this operation - didn’t see the kids (the avata360 200’ lenses were too wide, and I didn’t want to fly too close to the playground), but I had a lot of fun 😂.

Real world colors beat high resolution every time i think

Lens flare has burned me on so many flights before so this comparison caught my eye immediately. The way the Avata 360 handles the sun is great because it stays contained even when it is right in the frame. That A1 streak is a bit much for me. I know some pilots dig that style but I prefer a clean slate so I can do whatever I want in post. The Avata colors also feel more like real life. Not too warm and not totally flat either. We need more comparisons like this instead of everyone just arguing about resolution all day since this is the stuff that actually matters.

Look around. A heavy traffic day! This is our metropolis. This is my first 360 video shot with the DJI Avata 360. Youtube does it no favors by lowering the quality. The original is sharp and clear but it is what it is.
