The headline number is identical, 1-inch 50MP on both main cameras, so image quality from the wide lens is genuinely comparable between them in good light.
Both land under DJI's 250g threshold and both build in forward-facing LiDAR, hardware that used to be reserved for more expensive tiers.
The Avata 360's dual sensors record in every direction simultaneously, the framing decision moves from the moment of flight to the edit, pick the angle afterward rather than nailing it live.
UK SORA, Specific Operations Risk Assessment, is the CAA's framework for authorising drone operations that fall outside a standard predefined scenario like PDRA01.
A 1-inch sensor gathers more light than the Air 3's 1/1.3-inch chip, the gap shows most at dusk, indoors or in overcast conditions rather than on a bright day where both cameras hold up well.
The M4T's wide camera carries more raw resolution, 48MP against the M4E's 20MP, but resolution doesn't fix rolling shutter distortion once it's baked into a frame captured mid-flight.
Two drones can weigh the same and still operate under different rules, because the class mark carries safety features the weight figure alone doesn't capture, low-speed modes, electronic identification, build standards verified against a defined UK specification.
The registration threshold dropped from 250g to 100g on 1 January 2026, bringing most consumer and enterprise drones sold today into scope for a Flyer ID and, in most cases, an Operator ID as well.
