Box reveal, new close-up pics, ADS-B tech

For the umpteenth time, DJI’s mini FPV drone, Avata, is in the limelight ahead of its official announcement. In the latest leaks, DJI Avata has been caught on camera up close, with one photo revealing the box the drone could come packed in. Another critical detail about the CineWhoop-style drone that has emerged from the fresh leaks is that it could be equipped with DJI AirSense technology.

Leaks for Avata are coming in hot and fast ever since the DJI product turned up on the FCC database late last month. For those keeping scores, three batches of new intel about the indoor-friendly drone have shown up on the internet this weekend alone.

Up first is a short video of Avata being flown in a desert area using DJI Motion Controller — a compact and intuitive device that gives the operator one-handed control over an FPV drone. The Motion Controller was launched last year as an optional accessory for the $999 DJI FPV drone.
