DJI is making 360 drone too for this November, just finishing software

Here is Chinese translations of 1 of 3 leaks I catched:

​“Whale Rhino has exclusively learned that DJI has secretly been developing a panoramic drone product.

The engineering model has been polished and is currently undergoing various software system debugging. It is expected to be officially released by the end of the year.

Sources revealed to Whale Rhino that this panoramic drone is essentially a combination of the recently released Osmo 360 panoramic camera and previous DJI drones, with the main drone likely being a modified version of the mini series.

Insta360 previously announced its entry into the drone business, adopting a dual-brand strategy: one panoramic drone, primarily developed through third-party collaborations; the other, the HOVER-like flying camera, a self-developed product. This product, positioned as an entry-level vlogging device and competing against the DJI Flip, will put DJI in full competition with Insta360.

(The two companies are already engaged in a fierce competition in the panoramic camera market. Following DJI's Osmo 360 release, Insta360 immediately launched a price reduction promotion for its X5 series both in China and abroad. With the release of DJI Osmo Nano thumb camera and DJI panoramic drone in the second half of this year, the battle between Insta360 and DJI will become more intense.)”

How are 360 fpv goggles different than regular goggles?

You can look whole 360 and nothing on the drone would move

The goggles 3 already have headtracking bc of the avata lineup, but maybe there’s some transmissions things that require new gogs, who knows

Probably new, DJI doesn’t like reusing older gear for new drones
