A recent report by DroneXL states that DJI will be releasing three new drones within the following months, the Mini 5 Pro, Avata 3, and Neo2. The site posted some pictures and a video of the purported drones, along with a US FCC (Federal Communications Commission) listing that indicates an additional device by the brand. This is apparently an action camera, the DJI Osmo Nano.
Starting off with the DJI Mini 5 Pro, the report alleges that its camera sensor could be 1-inch. It might have stronger and vented motors, an added LiDAR sensor, with a body that “looks heavier”. An FCC filing implies that it will receive an Ocusync O4 Plus video transmission tech, and a battery that’s rated at 4,680mAh and 33.5Wh, with a 65W charging speed, compared to its predecessor’s 2,690mAh / 18.9Wh battery.
Based on the leaked video of the Avata 3, it might have the same form factor as the DJI Avata 2, with an improved and larger camera sensor, and the gimbal can apparently reach further up. It also features four-blade propellers which may mean a faster speed of the drone. The battery placement has also been moved back, which creates more room for the nested camera. This would make it possible to remove its orange bumpers that were present on its predecessor.
Within the same video is what may be the Neo 2. It has two strapped batteries on its back, double layered propeller guards, and white stickers. As for the Osmo Nano action camera, it could have the same configuration as the Action 2 camera, based on its FCC filings. Additionally, DroneXL states that the DJI Mic 3 and OSMO 360 could be released soon, though no official confirmations have been made as of yet.
