However, since it is not sold as a set with DJI FPV Remote Controller 3, you will need to purchase Avata 2, Goggles 3, and Remote Controller 3 separately to enjoy the essential Manual mode.
(April 3, 2024) DJI has sent out a teaser email for what appears to be a new drone. According to this, it will be announced on April 11th at 09:00 EDT (22:00 JST). This teaser is also displayed on the Japanese DJI page, and it seems that it will be released in Japan as well.
(March 28, 2024) A photo of the box has been leaked. From the outside, it looks similar to a more common FPV drone, although it looks smaller than its predecessor. It has larger propellers for improved flight performance and is likely to be equipped with a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor. It can shoot 48M pixel photos and 4K videos, and is equipped with RockSteady 3.0+, HorizonSteady, and HorizonBalancing video stabilization technology.
Due to the low resolution of the photo, it is difficult to see the detailed specifications, but it seems that Japanese TELEC certification is not listed.
(March 19, 2024) DJI appears to be releasing the FPV drone Avata 2 soon. It appears that DJI Avata 2, DJI FPV Remote Controller 3, and RC Motion 3 joystick controller have been newly registered in the US FCC database. If you look at the leaked image of the label, you can also see the Japanese TELEC certification. At least DJI FPV Remote Controller 3 and RC Motion 3 joystick controller are likely to be released in Japan. As for Avata 2, the TELEC certification may be displayed on the label of the battery, not the drone. It is still unclear whether the drone will be released in Japan.
