Quick Answer: The DJI Avata 360 accessories worth buying first are a spare Intelligent Flight Battery (around $99 at US retail, since the rated 23-minute flight time ends a single-battery session fast) and the Replacement Lens Kit (around $21 base, $25-30 with cleaning tools) — an accessory the Avata 2 has no equivalent of, because the Avata 360’s dual 1/1.1-inch sensors sit on exposed curved glass rather than a single recessed flat lens. Skip the propeller guard: like the Avata 2, the guards are molded into the cinewhoop-style airframe on every kit. A microSDXC card is worth adding too — retailer spec sheets confirm the Avata 360 supports cards up to 1TB, double the Avata 2’s 512GB ceiling, even though DJI’s own marketing barely mentions the slot exists.
The DJI Avata 360 shares a kit structure with the Avata 2 — base kit, two $979 Fly More Combos — but its accessory list diverges in one telling way: the 360 camera’s exposed glass needs lens protection the flat-lens Avata 2 never required. We pulled together the seven accessories that actually matter for this specific drone, with real prices and what each combo tier already includes.

1. Spare Intelligent Flight Battery — the first upgrade
DJI Avata 360 Intelligent Flight Battery
- DJI rates the pack for approximately 23 minutes of flight, matching the Avata 2's battery life despite the Avata 360's heavier dual-sensor camera.
- The $719 base kit ships with exactly one battery and skips the Two-Way Charging Hub entirely — DJI includes only a USB-C cable for charging.
- Both $979 Fly More Combos bundle three batteries plus the hub, making the combo tier the better value once you know you'll fly more than once per outing.

A single 23-minute battery is a short test flight, not a session — see our DJI Avata 360 Fly More Combo breakdown for the full battery-and-hub math that makes the three-battery combos the better buy for most shooters instead of the base kit plus spares.
2. Replacement Lens Kit — the accessory the Avata 2 doesn’t need
DJI Avata 360 Replacement Lens Kit
- Covers the front lens element on the Avata 360's exposed dual 1/1.1-inch 64MP sensor housing.
- The "with tools" version adds a removal tool, an air blower, and a cleaning brush for roughly $4-9 more.
- No equivalent accessory exists for the Avata 2 — that drone's flat, recessed lens doesn't protrude the way the 360's dual curved glass elements do.
This is the single clearest difference between shopping for the Avata 360 and shopping for the Avata 2. The Avata 2’s accessory page leads with ND filters because its flat f/2.8 lens needs exposure control; the Avata 360 has no equivalent filter kit, because its real vulnerability is physical. The dual sensors sit on a spherical housing with curved glass pushed further into the crash zone than any flat lens — fly it through tight FPV gaps or near branches often enough, and a scratched or cracked lens element is a when, not an if. At $21-30, keeping a spare kit on hand beats grounding a shoot over a single scuffed lens.
3. microSDXC card — the slot DJI doesn’t advertise much
SanDisk / Lexar microSDXC Card (U3/A2/V30, up to 1TB)
- Retailer spec sheets confirm a MicroSDXC slot supporting cards up to 1TB — double the Avata 2's 512GB ceiling.
- The 42GB internal drive holds roughly 30 minutes of 8K 360° footage, which fills fast given the Avata 360 always records the full sphere, not just the frame you plan to keep.
- DJI's own marketing emphasizes the internal storage figure far more than the card slot — easy to miss if you only read the spec highlights.
Because the Avata 360 captures the entire sphere around the aircraft rather than just a forward frame, footage accumulates faster than on a directional camera drone — 30 minutes of 8K 360° recording is a single real flight for most owners, not a reserve to save for later. A U3/A2/V30 card sized to your shooting cadence avoids the choice between stopping mid-session or offloading footage in the field.
4. Spare propellers — model-specific, not interchangeable
DJI Avata 360 Propellers
- The base kit ships two spare pairs, but FPV-style flying chews through props faster than most camera drones on this site.
- Sold as a model-specific part — not interchangeable with the original Avata's or the Avata 2's propellers despite the shared family name.
- Cheap enough to carry two or three spare sets in a flight bag rather than end a session over one nicked blade.
The built-in guards stop most branch strikes and wall taps from totaling the aircraft, but they don’t stop a propeller from cracking. At well under $25 for a spare set, there’s little reason to fly a session without extras already packed — see our best drone propellers guide for the replacement-cadence breakdown across other models.
5. Two-Way Charging Hub — worth it if you skipped the 3-battery combo
DJI Two-Way Charging Hub (Avata 360)
- Recharges all three Fly More Combo batteries in sequence in roughly 47 minutes at 100W, per DJI's own spec.
- Included free in both $979 Fly More Combos; buyers of the $719 base kit who later add batteries are the only ones who'd need it standalone.
- We found no official US list price for it sold on its own — budget for the combo tier rather than hunting for a standalone listing.
See our best drone battery chargers guide for universal LiPo charger alternatives if a dedicated Avata 360 hub proves hard to source separately in the US.
6. Carrying case — no official bag below the 3-battery combos
Third-Party DJI Avata 360 Carrying Case
- DJI only includes a sling bag with the two $979 Fly More Combos — $719 base kit buyers get no case at all.
- Third-party hard cases sized for the Avata 360 kit (aircraft, RC 2 or goggles, and spare batteries) fill the same gap that exists on the Avata 2.
- Size your case to your kit: an RC 2 base-kit loadout needs far less room than a Motion Fly More Combo with goggles, a hub, and three batteries.
See our best drone backpack guide for options that fit the Avata 360 alongside goggles and spare batteries without paying combo-tier prices just to get a bag.
7. Propeller guard — skip it, the airframe already is one
Skip: aftermarket propeller guards for the DJI Avata 360
- Every Avata 360 kit ships as a cinewhoop-style airframe with propeller guards molded directly into the frame — there's no separate part to buy.
- Retailer accessory pages for the Avata 360 list batteries, lens kits, and propellers, but never a standalone guard, confirming there's nothing aftermarket to shop for.
- Same pattern as the Avata 2: a cracked guard section after a hard crash is a DJI repair conversation, not an accessory purchase.
Worth stating plainly, since most drone accessory guides on this site do list a propeller guard to shop for. The Avata 360 is one of the exceptions — see our best drone propeller guards roundup for the models where a guard genuinely is a separate purchase.
How to choose Avata 360 accessories
- Buy the Replacement Lens Kit before you need it, not after. It’s the one accessory this drone has that the Avata 2 doesn’t, because of the exposed dual-sensor glass housing.
- Don’t shop for a propeller guard. It’s already molded into the airframe on every kit — put that money toward a spare battery or lens kit instead.
- Check your combo tier before buying a hub or case separately. Both $979 Fly More Combos already bundle the Two-Way Charging Hub and a sling bag for the same price as the screen-only RC 2 kit alone.
- Add a microSDXC card even though DJI doesn’t highlight the slot. Up to 1TB of expansion — double the Avata 2’s ceiling — against a 42GB internal drive that fills fast shooting full-sphere footage.
Avata 360 accessories by the numbers
- $21-30: the real price range for the Replacement Lens Kit — an accessory category the Avata 2 doesn’t have at all, because its flat lens doesn’t sit as exposed as the Avata 360’s curved dual sensors.
- 1TB vs 512GB: the Avata 360’s confirmed microSDXC ceiling against DJI’s own spec sheet for the Avata 2 — double the expansion room, despite DJI’s marketing leaning on the 42GB internal figure instead.
- 47 minutes: how long the Two-Way Charging Hub takes to recharge all three Fly More Combo batteries simultaneously at 100W.
- 0: the number of propeller guards sold separately for the Avata 360, because the cinewhoop airframe already includes them on every kit.
The bottom line
The DJI Avata 360’s accessory list mostly tracks the Avata 2’s — spare batteries, propellers, a case gap below the combo tier, no separate propeller guard to buy — but one real difference stands out: the exposed dual-sensor housing gives this drone a genuine Replacement Lens Kit category the Avata 2 simply doesn’t need. A spare Intelligent Flight Battery is the first real upgrade, followed by the Replacement Lens Kit for anyone flying FPV-style through tight spaces. Skip the propeller guard shopping entirely — the frame already has you covered.
