The FPV was built for speed and durability, while the Avata was for flight stability and safety. With massive design differences, neither the DJI FPV nor the Avata really holds the advantage. The same design consideration is expected of the DJI Avata, although DJI offers propeller duct replacements in case of damage. They also are not expected to fly very fast, so crashes should not be very bad. While durability typically is not the emphasis of CineWhoop drones, they are built to withstand minor crashes when flying in tight spaces. The ducts of the Avata are less prominent compared to standard CineWhoop drones, but detailed testing will have to be done to determine if this has a huge effect on flight performance. True to the CineWhoop design, the Avata features propeller ducts with integrated small landing gear. Leaked photos of the Avata show a blocky body with a top-mounted battery and a front-facing camera. The Avata is just small enough to maneuver through small spaces, which is pretty much the main use case of CineWhoop drones.
Although significantly smaller and lighter, the Avata does not quite go below the threshold for avoiding drone registration. The DJI Avata is expected to measure 180 x 180 x 180 millimeters and weighs 408 grams. Should some of the drone’s components break, they can be replaced by the user in a callback to how FPV drones are repaired when they break apart. This is a drone that can crash head-on at maximum Sport Mode speed and still go back to flying. The DJI FPV has been around for several months now and so many tests have vouched for how incredibly tough it is. The body is mostly made of black and gray plastic with a rounded profile that is more prominent towards the front of the drone. It has a front-facing camera consistent with the standard FPV drone design. The propellers have three blades, helping in making the drone more responsive. The propeller arms of the DJI FPV do not fold inward and have permanent landing feet. This makes the DJI FPV substantially larger and heavier than most other FPV drones, likely because of all the extra hardware that you would normally not find in a DIY FPV drone. The DJI FPV measures 255 x 312 x 127 millimeters and weighs 795 grams. It has also been a slight departure from DJI’s successful line of ultra-portable camera drones. DJI is changing the game by offering these drones in pre-built off-the-shelf models made with high-quality parts. A visually distinct feature of CineWhoop drones is the ducts around the propellers that help in keeping flight safe, even in tight or indoor spaces.Ĭommunities have been built around the use of FPV drones and CineWhoop drones, and these communities have mostly thrived by building DIY drones from component parts.
Camera quality is a major design consideration for CineWhoop drones. They are built for slow and stable flight, allowing for smooth aerial filmmaking. They are also built to be tough enough to withstand high-speed crashes.ĬineWhoop drones are almost the exact opposite. FPV drones are built for high-speed races with high responsiveness and low latency transmission. This makes flight more impressive, but more importantly, allows for very fast and precise maneuvers. Both these drones appeal to smaller drone markets that have so far been underserved by the large commercial drone brands – FPV drones and CineWhoop drones.įPV drones, as their name suggests, are designed to be piloted in FPV mode. Just comparing the appearance of the DJI FPV and DJI Avata makes it obvious that these are two very different drones.
