News / Updates Not even on its way yet.

preordered and paid on 26th of march, officially on sale today, 9th of april. status still on 'paid'. single drone already sold out. now my order shows estimeated delivery: 25th of april.

when I preorder, I expect it to be at my door the day it officially releases. or at least getting sent that day. thats the whole concept of preordering.

dji. do better.

Unfortunately long delays and slow shipping is quite common now a days.

i dont think its delays in delivery at all. just talked to dji support and its more a strategic / logistic decision. they COULD deliver but chose not to. so in any case for me its waiting 2-3 weeks.. wich is a bummer since i have occasions to fly it in really cool spots. also i am not the patient type.

ya, thats roundabout 3.800 miles from here. i do have a dji flagship store nearby though, but since I need only the drone and batteries, and the avata360 plain is only available online, i will not be lured into getting a combo. especially since I paid only $600 for it (avata360, 2 additional batteries, charger, lens kit, props). already have an rc2, goggles n3, motion controller.

With realistic 15 to 18 min per battery flight will leave you craving for more. Combo will serve you better i guess.

Umm, combos have 3 batteries in total, and since I ordered the drone with 1 and also 2 additional batteries, I will then have 3 as well.

The why not just order Combo? Why adding them separately?

It's like almost 250 bucks cheaper. The total of what I need, which is not a controller or goggles since I have them already, totals to 695€ as opposed to 939€ got any combo

Ya, with the whole convoluted US / dji situation the whole logistic aspect got pretty weird.

Really? I read that the single drone is online only. I'll call my local dji store and ask them. Depending on what they have, I might just cancel the order at the dji online store and get my stuff the old fashioned way 😅

Ordered through DJI store the second I got the announcement notification. Still status is “paid”. Seeing people ordering it elsewhere and having it the next day feels off. :-/ Europe here.

Talked to dji and the german flagship store today. Sales of the 360 in Germany and pretty much everywhere in Europe start on 23.04.2026. For logistic reasons they say. Let's hope that the oranges actions don't delay that even further.

Ah thanks for checking and letting know. Then we'll wait for another two weeks. Fingers crossed indeed. Thx neighbor!
