DJI Launches Avata 360 Video Contest

DJI puts the spotlight on sports and adventure footage

DJI has launched a new #AllForPassion challenge aimed at Avata 360 users. The company is asking creators to film their best sports and adventure moments for a chance to win prizes, with the top award reaching $10,000.

The concept is straightforward: use FPV flying to turn fast-moving action into compelling footage. That makes the contest a natural fit for riding, outdoor exploration, aerial tricks, and other scenarios where motion and perspective matter as much as the subject itself.

Why this matters for Avata 360 users

Challenges like this do more than hand out prizes. They help:

• encourage pilots to spend more time with a new platform;
• build a stronger community around one drone model;
• showcase what 360-degree FPV video can look like in real-world conditions.

For DJI, the format also produces a stream of user-made examples that can highlight the drone’s creative potential. For pilots, it creates a chance to get attention for their work while competing for cash.

A sign of where FPV content is heading

The FPV market is no longer defined only by speed and technical flying. More and more, pilots are expected to deliver footage that can work in sports edits, travel stories, and branded content.

That is why contests like this matter: they reflect a shift from pure flight performance toward visual storytelling. A drone flight is no longer just a run through an obstacle course — it is part of the final piece of content.

For Avata 360 pilots, the challenge is also a reminder that strong footage depends on more than the aircraft itself. Timing, control, and composition all play a role when the goal is to capture action that feels energetic and usable.
