DJI Flip drone confirmed by the FCC

Or maybe all 1/1.3" sensors are not created equal?

Size alone says literally nothing.

The Avata 2 also only has a single axis gimbal so unless you're flying manual the image has to get cropped into significantly for horizon leveling instead of the gimbal doing the job.

The Avata 2 may have the same sensor as other DJI drones, but that does not equal same image quality.
For one thing, the Avata 2 has a totally different lens, an extreme wideangle with 155 degrees field of view. That makes it a totally different camera than for example the Mini 4 Pro, and a totally different image and video quality. Like comparing apples and oranges....
