Hot take: DJI Avata 360 preorders are live — but many sellers (like US Drone Supply) list “New — Unsealed/Activated/Not Flown” international units with no US warranty, possible firmware limits and big markups.

Buyer beware. #DroneNews

FCC quietly added all future foreign-made drones (including upcoming DJI & Autel models) to its Covered List — effectively blocking new U.S. sales.

Already-approved drones and replacement parts remain legal, but cheap consumer options may disappear. #DroneNews

Yes - you can still buy DJI drones in the US in 2026.

The Dec 23, 2025 ban isn't retroactive: FCC-cleared models (Mini 4 Pro, Air 3S, Mavic 3 Pro, Neo 2) remain legal and available; new unapproved models may be blocked. #DroneNews

Leaked: DJI Avata 360 prices ahead of a Q1 2026 reveal - CNY 2,988 (~$428) battery-only; CNY 3,988 (~$571) w/ RC 2; CNY 5,688 (~$814) w/ RC 2 or Goggles N3.

Likely China-first; US release doubtful due to drone import ban. #DroneNews

Leaked: DJI Avata 360 pricing — China bundles start at ¥2,988 (~$426); US estimates put the Fly More combo around $999.

FCC green-flag, under-250g and 360° FPV — could shake up the drone market. #DJIAvata360 #DroneNews

FCC vote may block new DJI drones & replacement parts — current models still legal.

Iowa agencies say operations are fine now (drones have saved lives), but future replacements will force a pricey pivot. #DroneNews

The FCC has officially added DJI and other foreign drone makers to its "Covered List," effectively banning the import and sale of all new drone models starting December 23, 2025. While existing drones are safe to fly, the future of the U.S. drone market is about to change forever. 🚁🇺🇸
