Overview
- DJI told Chinese media the mid‑November gathering centered on an unreleased Avata 360 and was an internal product experience rather than an investor meeting.
- The company said widely circulated quotes about aggressive pricing, bill‑of‑materials disclosures, and plans to forgo financing or an IPO are seriously inaccurate and it reserves the right to pursue accountability.
- Earlier 36Kr reporting, based on attendee recollections, had claimed DJI would price Avata 360 to directly challenge YingShi Innovation’s Antigravity and had analyzed panoramic‑drone costs, which remains unconfirmed.
- Avata 360 has not been announced; leaked materials and third‑party expectations point to 8K/50fps 360‑video capture, 120‑megapixel panoramas, and 10‑bit D‑Log M support, with pricing speculation around $1,099–$1,299.
- YingShi’s chairman said on Nov. 4 the company would seek growth through market competition, as observers note the FPV niche is far smaller than the broader consumer‑drone market in 2024.
