For a long time, the action camera market felt fairly predictable. Year after year, new models would arrive with slight bumps in resolution or frame rates, but the core experience remained largely the same. Now that we are in 2026, the industry has shifted its focus. Instead of just chasing higher numbers on a spec sheet, manufacturers are addressing the actual pain points of recording video on the go. We are seeing the introduction of variable apertures, better computational processing, and more practical mounting systems.

Whether you are recording a cycling route, documenting a family trip, or just want a hands-free way to capture your daily routine, the current lineup of cameras offers distinct approaches to solving these problems. Here is a look at the best action cameras available in 2026.

DJI Osmo Action 6

DJI has been steadily iterating on its action camera line, and the Osmo Action 6 brings a significant hardware change: a variable aperture. Ranging from f/2.0 to f/4.0, this allows the camera to physically adjust to different lighting conditions. In practical terms, this means you can get better light intake in dim environments at f/2.0, or stop down to f/4.0 in bright sunlight to retain detail without overexposing the shot.

The camera is built around a new 1/1.1-inch square sensor. The square format is particularly useful for creators who need to export video for both traditional widescreen platforms (like YouTube) and vertical platforms (like TikTok or Instagram Reels). You can shoot once in the 4K Custom mode and crop your preferred aspect ratio later.

DJI also included 50GB of built-in storage, which serves as a helpful safety net if you forget your microSD card, along with a battery rated for up to four hours of use in standard conditions.

Insta360 Ace Pro 2

Insta360 has taken a different route with the Ace Pro 2, focusing heavily on processing power and sensor resolution. Co-engineered with Leica, the camera features a 1/1.3-inch sensor capable of recording 8K video at 30 frames per second. While 8K might be more resolution than most people currently need, it offers a lot of flexibility for cropping and reframing in post-production.

What makes the Ace Pro 2 stand out is its dual-chip architecture. It uses a dedicated imaging chip alongside a 5nm AI chip to handle noise reduction and image processing. This setup is especially noticeable in the PureVideo low-light mode, which cleans up grainy footage quite effectively.

The hardware design also includes a 2.5-inch flip touchscreen and an integrated wind guard, which helps reduce audio clipping when you are moving at higher speeds.

GoPro Hero 13 Black

GoPro has maintained its familiar form factor with the Hero 13 Black, but it has heavily expanded its lens ecosystem. The camera introduces the HB-Series lenses, which the camera automatically detects when attached, adjusting its settings accordingly.

You can swap between a Macro Lens Mod for close-ups, an Ultra Wide Lens Mod for a broader field of view, or an Anamorphic Lens Mod if you prefer a cinematic 21:9 aspect ratio with traditional lens flares.

Internally, it uses a 27-megapixel 1/1.9-inch CMOS sensor that shoots 5.3K video at 60fps. GoPro has also added a Burst Slo-Mo feature, allowing you to capture 400fps at 720p for short 15-second bursts.

To support these features, the Hero 13 Black uses a 1900mAh Enduro battery for improved efficiency, and the company has also integrated a magnetic mounting system, making it much easier to move the camera between different mounts without dealing with thumbscrews.

Akaso Brave 8

Not everyone needs a flagship camera, especially if it is going to be subjected to rough conditions where it might get damaged. The Akaso Brave 8 fills the gap for users who want reliable performance without the premium price tag.

It is equipped with a 1/2-inch CMOS sensor that records 4K video at 60fps and takes 48-megapixel still photos. The camera includes dual color screens, which makes framing shots easier if you are recording yourself.

It also features Akaso’s SuperSmooth in-app stabilization and AI Face Metering to help keep subjects properly exposed. While it may lack the advanced computational features of the more expensive models, it provides a very solid baseline experience for everyday use.

Insta360 Go Ultra

If traditional action cameras feel too bulky, the Insta360 Go Ultra is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible. Weighing just 53 grams, the standalone camera unit is small enough to clip to a hat or wear on a magnetic pendant under your shirt. Despite its size, it houses a 1/1.28-inch sensor and shoots 4K video at 60fps.

The Go Ultra relies on an Ambient Light Sensor to help calibrate colors and reduce flickering in artificial light. Because the camera itself is so small, battery life is limited to about 70 minutes.

However, it comes with the Action Pod, a housing with a 2.5-inch flip screen that charges the camera and extends the total runtime to roughly 200 minutes. It is an excellent choice for point-of-view recording where a standard camera would be too heavy.

DJI Osmo Nano

DJI’s answer to the ultra-compact market is the Osmo Nano. It shares a similar philosophy with the Go Ultra, weighing in at 52 grams and designed for wearable, hands-free recording. It features a 1/1.3-inch sensor, 4K/60fps recording, and a wide 143-degree field of view.

The Osmo Nano differentiates itself with its color science, supporting 10-bit D-Log M, which gives video editors more room to color grade their footage. It also features a dual-sided magnetic design, allowing you to mount it facing forward or backward easily.

The camera pairs with a Multifunctional Vision Dock that provides a screen for live viewing, remote control, and fast charging. Furthermore, it supports direct connection to DJI’s wireless microphones, which is a significant advantage if you want clear audio without carrying a separate receiver.

The post The Best Action Cameras of 2026 appeared first on Gizmochina.

DJI recently expanded its handheld camera lineup with two distinct devices: the Osmo 360 II and the Osmo Pocket 4P. While both are highly portable and share some of the company’s latest processing technology, they are designed for fundamentally different types of video production. Choosing between them comes down to how you prefer to shoot and the environments you typically work in.

Design and Build

The physical construction of these cameras dictates their best use cases. The Osmo 360 II is built for durability and unpredictable environments. It carries an IP68 rating, meaning it can handle water immersion up to 10 meters without needing an external waterproof housing.

It is also rated to operate in temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius. DJI has included replaceable lens protectors, which is a practical update for a camera meant to be mounted on bikes, helmets, or used in action sports where scratches are likely.

The Osmo Pocket 4P, conversely, is a much more delicate device. Weighing 230 grams, its defining feature is a 3-axis mechanical gimbal. It isn’t weather-sealed or ruggedized for extreme sports. Instead, it is designed for handheld use in controlled environments.

It features a bright 2.0-inch rotating touchscreen that doubles as a quick power-on switch, allowing you to start recording quickly. It is a tool built for smooth, deliberate camera movements rather than rough handling.

Sensors and Image Quality

This is where the two cameras diverge the most in terms of workflow. The Osmo 360 II uses dual 1/1.1-inch square CMOS sensors. The square aspect ratio is an interesting design choice, intended to improve sensor utilization and capture native 8K panoramic video at up to 60fps.

It also includes a 14.5-stop dynamic range, 10-bit color depth with D-Log M, and an AI Super Night 2.0 mode for low-light situations. The appeal here is the ability to capture everything around you and decide on the exact framing later in post-production.

The Pocket 4P takes a more traditional photography approach, introducing a dual-camera system to the Pocket line. The main wide-angle camera uses a 1-inch sensor (20mm equivalent, f/2.0) with LOFIC technology, which DJI says provides up to 17 stops of dynamic range.

Alongside it is a 60mm medium-telephoto lens with a 1/1.28-inch sensor (f/1.8). This secondary lens provides 3x optical zoom, allowing for more natural depth of field and background compression in portrait shots. It also supports 4K video at up to 240fps for slow motion and uses the D-Log 2 color profile. If your priority is standard, high-quality video right out of the camera, the Pocket 4P has a clear edge.

Tracking, Storage, and Connectivity

Both cameras offer subject tracking, but they process it differently. The Pocket 4P uses ActiveTrack 8.0, physically moving the gimbal to keep subjects centered, even when using the telephoto lens. The Osmo 360 II relies on digital tracking, cropping into the 360-degree sphere to keep a subject in frame, which is currently limited to a 4K resolution output.

Both models feature built-in internal storage. The Osmo 360 II includes 128GB (about 105GB usable), while the Pocket 4P has 103GB. This allows users to start recording immediately without needing to supply their own microSD card right away, though both support expansion up to 1TB. For file transfers, the Pocket 4P supports USB 3.1 speeds up to 800MB/s, making it relatively quick to offload large video files.

Audio capture is handled by a four-microphone array on the Osmo 360 II and a three-microphone array on the Pocket 4P. Both devices also support direct connections to DJI’s wireless microphone ecosystem, such as the Mic Mini 2.

For battery life, the Pocket 4P offers up to 210 minutes of recording at 1080p and supports fast charging to 80 percent in 18 minutes. The Osmo 360 II, handling the higher processing demands of 8K video, provides up to 100 minutes of continuous recording on its 2150mAh battery.

Which One Should You Buy?

Pricing for both cameras is remarkably competitive. In China, the Osmo 360 II starts at CNY 3,299 ($489) for the Standard Combo, while the Osmo Pocket 4P starts slightly higher at CNY 3,799 ($563).

If you are an action sports junkie, a motorcyclist, or someone who wants to capture immersive VR-ready environments, the Osmo 360 II is the obvious choice. Its 8K resolution gives you massive flexibility to crop into standard flat videos later, and its IP68 rating means it can take a beating.

However, if you are a YouTuber, a solo filmmaker, or a travel vlogger who prioritizes image quality, optical depth of field, and perfectly smooth tracking shots, the Osmo Pocket 4P is unparalleled. The addition of a 60mm telephoto lens to a 1-inch main sensor on a mechanical gimbal makes it one of the most capable pocket cameras ever made.

The post DJI Osmo 360 II vs DJI Osmo Pocket 4P: Which Pocket Camera Should You Buy? appeared first on Gizmochina.

If you’ve ever tried to buy a wireless microphone for your phone, you’ve probably noticed that they all start to look the same after a while. There are tiny black transmitters, tiny black receivers, charging cases, and many promises of professional or studio-quality sound.

The good news is that you no longer need to spend hundreds of dollars to get decent wireless audio. The bad news is that choosing between the many small wireless microphones has become surprisingly difficult. 

Two of the most interesting options right now are DJI’s Mic Mini 2S and the Rode Wireless Micro. Both are small enough to disappear on your shirt, both are designed primarily for creators who shoot with phones or compact cameras, and both are relatively affordable compared with professional wireless systems.

But they are different in their own rights. The Rode Wireless Micro is about keeping things simple. DJI’s Mic Mini 2S is more ambitious, with features like internal recording, longer battery life, and support for more transmitters. 

Here’s the comparison between DJI Mic Mini 2S versus Rode Wireless Micro to help you decide which is better for you.

Rode Wireless Micro

The biggest reason to buy the Rode Wireless Micro is that you probably don’t want to think about your microphone very much. The system is built around two small transmitters, a receiver, and a charging case that looks a lot like an oversized pair of wireless earbuds. Depending on the bundle, it costs around $99 to $149, and you can get versions with either USB-C or Lightning connectivity for phones.

The transmitters are tiny and light, and can also be attached magnetically, which is useful if you don’t want to put a clip through thin or delicate clothing. There isn’t much to configure either. Plug the receiver into your phone, attach the transmitters, and start recording.

The receiver doesn’t have a screen or a bunch of controls to worry about, and it draws power from the connected device. For someone who wants to record a quick video, interview, or vlog without going through a setup process, that’s a good thing.

The microphones themselves are omnidirectional and are designed to pick up your voice clearly while keeping the whole setup small and unobtrusive.

There is a trade-off, though. The Wireless Micro doesn’t have onboard recording. If the wireless connection drops while you’re filming, the audio that wasn’t transmitted is simply gone.

DJI Mic Mini 2S

The DJI Mic Mini 2S is slightly different. Instead of trying to make the microphone as simple as possible, DJI has packed in more features for people who want some insurance and control over their recordings.

The biggest one is internal recording. Each transmitter has 14.5GB of storage, which DJI says is enough for around 28 hours of 24-bit audio or roughly 22 hours of 32-bit float audio. So even if the wireless connection to your phone or camera drops, the transmitter can continue recording your voice locally.

If you’re recording a casual TikTok or YouTube Short, losing a few seconds of audio probably isn’t the end of the world. If you’re interviewing someone who flew across the country to talk to you, having a backup recording can save the entire shoot.

DJI also gives you more ways to control how the microphone sounds. The Mic Mini 2S includes two levels of AI noise reduction, three voice tone presets, and a clipping-control feature that can automatically reduce the gain when something suddenly gets very loud.

The receiver itself doesn’t have a screen, but DJI uses its Mimo app to provide more information and controls. You can see audio levels and connection status and change settings that aren’t available on the Rode system.

DJI also wins if you need more than two microphones

There is another reason you might want to consider DJI, particularly if you’re recording interviews or group conversations. 

The Mic Mini 2S can support up to four transmitters with a single receiver. This means you can have multiple people wearing microphones without having to build a complicated setup around several wireless systems.

Meanwhile, the Rode Wireless Micro is limited to two transmitters. For a solo creator, that’s probably irrelevant. For someone who occasionally records a panel, group interview, or podcast with several people, it could be the feature that makes the DJI worth buying.

The downside is that adding more transmitters also pushes the price up, so you shouldn’t pay for the extra capacity unless you actually expect to use it.

Battery life is another DJI advantage

Both microphones should easily get through a normal shooting day, but DJI has the advantage on paper. Rode rates each Wireless Micro transmitter for around seven hours of battery life. The charging case provides two additional charges for a total of 21 hours of total battery life.

DJI claims around 11 hours for each Mic Mini 2S transmitter and about 10 hours for the receiver. With the charging case, total battery life goes beyond 40 hours.

That doesn’t mean you’ll suddenly need 40 hours of recording time. It does mean you can throw the case into your bag, forget about charging the microphones for a while, and still have plenty of battery when you need them.

You probably don’t need to worry about range

Rode’s Wireless Micro has a range of more than 100 meters, while DJI claims up to 400 meters with its standard receiver. The smaller DJI Mobile Receiver has a claimed range of around 200 to 300 meters. 

Those numbers sound impressive, but they’re not particularly important for most people buying these microphones. If you’re recording a person talking to the camera, conducting an interview, or walking around while vlogging, you’re probably going to be well within the range of either system.

DJI does have one interesting advantage if you’re already using its cameras. Through its OsmoAudio system, the Mic Mini 2S transmitters can connect directly to compatible devices such as the Osmo Pocket 4 and Osmo 360 II without needing the receiver. That’s a nice feature if you’re already invested in DJI’s ecosystem.

So which one should you buy?

For most people who just want a tiny wireless microphone for their phone, I’d lean toward the Rode Wireless Micro. It does what it’s supposed to do without making you think too much about the equipment. The transmitters are tiny, the setup is simple, and the audio is good enough for the kind of voice recording most phone-based creators are doing.

The DJI Mic Mini 2S is the better choice if you’re more serious about recording or want room to grow. Its internal recording is the biggest reason to choose it. Having a backup copy of your audio can be extremely useful for interviews and other recordings that can’t easily be repeated. The ability to use up to four transmitters, longer battery life, additional audio controls, and direct connections to some DJI cameras also make it more flexible.

So this isn’t really a case of one microphone being better than the other. The Rode Wireless Micro is the microphone I’d recommend if you want to clip something onto your shirt and forget it’s there. The DJI Mic Mini 2S is the one I’d carry if I cared more about having options when something goes wrong.

The 360 camera market just had its biggest week of the year. Insta360 launched the X6 on Wednesday, and DJI followed less than a day later with the Osmo 360 II. Both replace flagship models that have been at the top of the category, and both bring noticeable improvements in image quality.

This doesn’t mean you should ignore the older models, though. If you’re on a tighter budget, the previous-generation cameras are still very capable and should be available at a discount too.

The biggest advantage of a 360 camera is simple; you don’t have to worry about framing while recording. Just hold the camera up, hit record, and choose the best angle later on your phone or laptop. You can capture everything around you and decide what the final shot should look like afterward.

Here are the best 360 cameras for panoramic shots that you can get in 2026. 

Insta360 X6

The X6 is now Insta360’s flagship offering, and it’s a major upgrade over the X5 rather than a small refresh. It uses two Sony 1/1.1-inch square sensors that deliver full 1-inch-equivalent 360 imaging. The sensors also offer 33% more area than those in the X5 and can capture much more light for brighter shots. 

The X6 can record 8K video at 50fps, up from the X5’s 30fps at 8K, and can also capture 120MP photos. For processing, it has a triple-chip system built around an 8-core, 4nm processor. Insta360 says the X6 has about five times the computing power of the X5.

Other features include 10-bit color, Dolby Vision, an improved PureVideo low-light mode, and the new Replaceable Lenses 2.0 system. It also has 47GB of usable internal storage, which is a first for the X series and means you don’t always need a memory card.

The camera uses a 2,600mAh battery and is rated for up to 140 minutes of continuous 8K recording. The X6 starts at $699.99 for the Standard Bundle and $799.99 for the Essentials Bundle in the US. That’s $150 more than the X5’s starting price.

Insta360 X5

If $699.99 is too much, the X5 is still a very good option. It uses two 1/1.28-inch sensors and can record 8K video at 30fps while capturing 72MP photos. You also get Insta360’s PureVideo low-light mode, replaceable lenses, a built-in wind guard, and waterproofing down to 49 feet without a case.

The X6 has the advantage in sensor size, frame rate, and processing power. But for travel videos, vlogging, and everyday action footage, the X5 still does a good job.

At $549.99, it also offers better value now that the X6 is available. Insta360 also sells a BMW Motorrad edition of the X5 aimed at motorcycle riders. It comes with features such as handlebar controls and an extended battery.

DJI Osmo 360 II

DJI responded to Insta360 less than a day later with the Osmo 360 II. The camera uses the same 1/1.1-inch sensor class as the original Osmo 360 but increases 8K panoramic video to 60fps. That gives it a slight advantage over the X6’s 8K50 recording.

DJI has also increased dynamic range to 14.5 stops in D-Log M, compared with 13.5 stops on the original model. The camera still captures 120MP shots, but the II adds HDR and RAW photo capture.

The battery is larger at 2,150mAh, compared with 1,950mAh on the first model. It also supports 27W USB-C fast charging. Another important upgrade is user-replaceable lenses. 

The Osmo 360 II also has NFC for quick pairing and 105GB of internal storage, which is carried over from the original model. In China, the standard bundle costs around 3,299 yuan, or roughly $460.

The biggest problem right now is availability. DJI has only confirmed the China launch so far, and there is no listing for the Osmo 360 II on DJI’s US store. With the restrictions affecting DJI products in the US, it isn’t clear when the camera will officially arrive there.

DJI Osmo 360

The original Osmo 360 is still available and is now cheaper in markets where the II has launched. It offers dual 1-inch square sensors, 8K video at 50fps, 13.5 stops of dynamic range, and up to 100 minutes of 8K recording on one charge.

The camera also uses the same battery and magnetic mounting system as the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro. That is useful if you already own DJI action-camera accessories.

The original Osmo 360 is also officially available in the US, making it the more practical DJI option for American buyers right now. It costs around $549.99.

GoPro MAX2

GoPro stayed out of the 360 camera race for years while Insta360 and DJI moved ahead. The company finally returned with the MAX2 last year.

GoPro calls it the only “True 8K” 360 camera, based on how it calculates resolution. The MAX2 records 8K 360 video, as well as 5.6K at 60fps and 4K at 100fps. Its biggest advantage over the newer Insta360 and DJI models is built-in GPS.

The MAX2 also brings back GoPro’s replaceable lens system and uses a 1,960mAh Enduro battery designed to work in cold weather. It’s rugged, waterproof, and supports 16 mounting accessories made specifically for the camera. At $499.99, it has the lowest starting price among the flagship-level 360 cameras on this list.

The MAX2 has also expanded into markets such as India, where it launched alongside GoPro’s new AI-powered gimbal.

Ricoh Theta X

Not everyone shooting 360 content needs video, and for stills-first work like real estate listings and virtual tours, the Ricoh Theta X is the camera most professionals reach for. It pairs dual 48MP sensors to produce spherical stills at up to 60MP, or 11K resolution, well beyond what any of the action-camera-style 360 shooters above offer for photos. The video tops out at 5.7K at 30fps.

What sets the Theta X apart is how it’s built to be used on its own. It has a 2.25-inch color touchscreen that lets you preview shots, adjust settings, and review captures without pulling out your phone, and it’s the first Theta model with an interchangeable battery and a microSD card slot instead of fixed internal storage. 

It also has built-in GPS that geotags your shots automatically, and the camera runs on Android, so it accepts third-party plug-ins for things like automatic face blurring or wireless livestreaming. 

Ricoh also added HDR RAW capture in DNG format for professionals who edit files afterward instead of working from flattened JPEGs. Its pricing starts at $649.

How to pick the right 360 camera

To get the best 360 camera for your needs, start with your budget and think about what you plan to shoot. If you want the best overall image quality and don’t mind spending $699.99 or more, the Insta360 X6 is the easiest recommendation. The DJI Osmo 360 II is also very competitive on paper, especially with its 8K60 recording, but its availability is still limited.

If you want to save money, the Insta360 X5 and original DJI Osmo 360 are still strong choices. Both can record 8K video and offer enough quality for travel, vlogging, and everyday shooting.

The GoPro MAX2 is the cheapest flagship-level option. It’s also the obvious choice if built-in GPS is important to you or you’re already using other GoPro products. And if you’re shooting stills for real estate rather than video, skip the action-camera crowd entirely and go with the Theta X.

The post Best 360 Cameras in 2026: Top Panoramic Cameras You Can Buy appeared first on Gizmochina.

DJI is back with a new 360-degree camera, and the Osmo 360 II is going big on resolution. The company’s latest panoramic camera comes with a 1-inch sensor, 14.5 stops of dynamic range, and the ability to record native 8K video at 60 frames per second. It also packs 105GB of built-in storage, AI-powered subject tracking, and a new low-light shooting mode.

The Osmo 360 II starts at 3,299 yuan (around $490) in China. The base package includes the camera, a 2,150mAh cold-resistant battery, two lens protection covers, a carrying bag, and other accessories. DJI is also offering a 3,999-yuan Shooting Kit (around $580), which adds two extra batteries, a multifunctional battery case, an adjustable quick-release adapter, and DJI’s 1.2-meter invisible selfie stick.

The camera itself is light at 183 grams. DJI says the lens uses a second-generation optical super-hard coating to improve scratch and wear resistance. The company has also made the lens interchangeable, so an accidental knock doesn’t necessarily mean replacing the entire camera.

The panoramic camera has 105GB built-in storage for recordings. And as for the battery life, DJI says the included cold-resistant battery can record 8K/30fps footage continuously for up to 100 minutes. It can charge to 80% in about 22 minutes, while a dual-directional magnetic battery extension can add up to another 180 minutes of runtime.

A sensor built for 360-degree video

The headline feature of the Osmo 360 II is the new square high-dynamic-range sensor. DJI says it’s been specifically designed for panoramic cameras and makes better use of the sensor area than a conventional 1-inch sensor. According to the company, sensor utilization has been improved by 25% while maintaining the wide field of view needed for 360-degree footage.

The sensor uses 2.4-micron fused large pixels and works with the camera’s image-processing hardware to capture native 8K/60fps panoramic video. 

The Osmo 360 II also gets 14.5 stops of dynamic range, which DJI says is twice the brightness tolerance of the previous generation. The front and rear cameras can also handle exposure independently.

Low-light performance gets its own upgrade through an f/1.9 aperture and DJI’s AI Super Night Scene 2.0 noise-reduction system. The camera isn’t limited to standard 8K video, either. It can capture 120-megapixel high-dynamic-range panoramic photos, 16K panoramic time-lapses, and 8K/120fps time-freeze footage. The device can record 10-bit video as well as in D-Log M.

Built for motorcycles, skis, and diving

DJI is pitching the Osmo 360 II as more than a travel camera. The company has designed it around hands-free shooting, which makes sense for a 360-degree camera that is often used to capture action from unusual angles.

Motorcyclists can mount the camera to their bikes using dedicated accessories and start recording with gestures or voice commands. For skiing, the camera can record 8K panoramic slow-motion footage and up to 64x super slow motion. DJI says users can trigger recording by twisting the selfie stick or using gestures, and the controls remain usable while wearing gloves.

The camera is also waterproof to 10 meters without a case. Add DJI’s invisible waterproof case and that depth rating increases to 50 meters, opening the door to underwater 360-degree footage without putting a bulky case into the shot.

AI keeps subjects in the frame

One of the more interesting software additions is AI-powered subject tracking. The Osmo 360 II can identify a subject and keep it centered as the camera rotates or changes orientation.

The camera also supports AI one-click image creation, along with NFC one-touch connection for faster setup. For creators who care about audio, the Osmo 360 II can connect directly to compatible DJI microphone transmitters, including the DJI Mic 3 and DJI Mic Mini 2, through OsmoAudio. 

The Osmo 360 II uses a two-way magnetic quick-release system with a 1/4-inch threaded mount. That lets it work with DJI’s Osmo accessories as well as more traditional camera mounts.

Its battery is also compatible with the Osmo Action series, so if you own DJI action cameras, you can share accessories and batteries.

The post DJI’s Osmo 360 II brings native 8K/60fps video to a 1-inch panoramic sensor appeared first on Gizmochina.

If you’re in the market for a new 360-degree camera, you’re about to get a pretty interesting choice. Both the Insta360 X6 and the DJI Osmo 360 II are landing within a day of each other. Insta360 is expected to show off the X6 on August 12, and DJI is set to drop the Osmo 360 II just hours later on the 13th.

Both cameras are looking pretty similar on paper: roughly 1/1.1-inch CMOS sensors and at least 8K50 video in full 360 mode. The designs, though, are staying in their own lanes. DJI is sticking with that distinctive square shape from the first Osmo 360.

The clearest look, though, comes from a slightly rough but useful unboxing video shared by Igor Bogdanov on X. He opens up a full bundle and puts the new camera right next to last year’s original Osmo 360. The biggest obvious upgrade? The battery. It’s now a 2,150 mAh cell instead of the old 1,950 mAh one, about a 10% bump. That should give you noticeably longer recording times, especially if you’re shooting high-res 360 video for a while.

Other leaks and regulatory filings point to a few more improvements: faster USB-C charging and, according to some reports, user-replaceable lenses. Pre-orders have already started in China, and DJI has confirmed the August 13 launch window there. Global availability and final pricing are still under wraps.

The next couple of days should show us how the Osmo 360 II’s bigger battery, possible frame-rate jump, and overall package stack up against the new Insta360. For now, that leaked unboxing is the best preview we’ve got of what DJI has cooking.

The post DJI Osmo 360 II leaked unboxing video reveals larger battery, compares design with Osmo 360 appeared first on Gizmochina.

DJI is getting ready to expand its panoramic camera lineup with a successor that builds on an already solid foundation. Official teasers have confirmed an imminent reveal.

A page on DJI’s Hong Kong website, titled “All Angles. All Epic,” points to an August 13, 2026 launch at 12PM GMT (20:00 Beijing time). That lines up with other signals, including an Instagram teaser suggesting pre-orders or reservations could start as early as August 7. Chinese social media posts and reports have also pointed to early August activity.

One Instagram post shows dynamic 360 footage of mountain biking, dancing, and skiing, ending with a simple “Coming soon.” An earlier teaser takes a top-down view of a square sensor that then pulls back to reveal the camera and a fisheye lens overlay.

DJI hasn’t published full specifications yet. The original Osmo 360 already offered strong capabilities, including 8K/50p and 6K/60p video, 120MP panoramic stills, and solid internal storage. Early indications and regulatory filings suggest some practical upgrades for the sequel, such as a larger 2150mAh battery (up from 1950mAh) for longer runtime and possible support for 8K video at 60fps. Additional refinements like NFC for easier pairing have also been mentioned in Chinese reports.

Availability could be tricky in some markets. Growing restrictions in the United States have already affected other DJI gear, so a U.S. launch at or near the global debut looks less likely. The camera is still expected to roll out in other regions, where it will go head-to-head with rivals in the panoramic space.

The teasers show DJI is confident in refining its 360 formula rather than starting from scratch. As more details come out on August 13, we will find out whether the Osmo 360 II delivers meaningful gains in resolution, battery life, and usability to stay ahead of the competition.

The post DJI Osmo 360 II design teased ahead of August 13 launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

DJI is already working on a follow-up to its first 360-degree camera, and a new leak from TheNewCamera gives us a look at an engineering prototype of the Osmo 360 II. The design stays close to the original as it has the same square body and a lens layout that hasn’t changed much.

The camera, listed under model number OQ002, has also shown up in FCC filings, which reveal a battery upgrade from 1,950mAh to 2,150mAh. That increase should give users more recording time before they need to recharge or swap batteries.

The Osmo 360 II is also said to bring NFC support. This would let users pair the camera with their phone and transfer files just by tapping the two devices together, something most panoramic cameras still don’t offer.

DJI Osmo 360 Recap

DJI launched the original Osmo 360 in July 2025 with a 1-inch square sensor, native 8K/50fps panoramic video, and panoramic photos up to 120MP, so the sequel builds on a camera that already covered the basics well. Notably, the first Osmo 360 also leaked through FCC filings months before DJI made it official, and that launch followed shortly after, so this pattern of early certification leaks lining up with a real release isn’t new for the company.

Beyond the FCC listing, real-world photos and field-test footage of the Osmo 360 II are now making the rounds too, which usually means development is further along than early testing.

DJI hasn’t confirmed a release date yet, but between the certification paperwork, the prototype sightings, and the leaked features, an official announcement looks like it shouldn’t be too far off.

The post DJI Osmo 360 II Prototype Leaks With Bigger Battery and NFC Support appeared first on Gizmochina.

DJI has released its first standalone parachute system designed specifically for enterprise use. The AP100 Parachute is built for the powerful Matrice 400 drone, aiming to significantly reduce the risks if something goes wrong mid-flight by allowing a controlled, safe descent.

This is especially important as more businesses use heavy drones like the Matrice 400 for inspections, public safety, surveying, and cargo delivery in populated or sensitive areas. A drone this size carrying a heavy payload could cause serious damage if it fell uncontrollably. The AP100 gives operators a reliable recovery option they’ve been asking for.

The system is relatively lightweight at about 935 grams (including the bracket) and doesn’t meaningfully affect the Matrice 400’s 15.8 kg maximum takeoff weight. It only reduces flight time by around six minutes even when fully loaded. It’s compact, weather-resistant (IP55), and can operate in temperatures from -20°C to 50°C and at altitudes up to 4,500 meters.

What stands out is how quickly it reacts. DJI says the system can detect a problem, cut motor power through an independent Flight Termination System, and fully deploy the parachute in under 600 milliseconds. Once deployed (from 30 meters or higher in calm conditions), it slows the drone down to less than 5 m/s, greatly reducing the chance of major damage or injury.

The parachute has its own independent flight controller, backup power that lasts up to an hour, and smart systems to avoid unnecessary deployments. After landing, it even triggers an audible and visual alarm to help with recovery. You can swap batteries without removing the parachute, and it fits nicely in the standard carrying case.

One of the biggest advantages is that pairing the AP100 with the Matrice 400 helps meet strict European regulations (EASA C5/C6) and UK CAA standards. This could open up more possibilities for flying over populated areas and beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations.

Priced at around $1,050, it’s a relatively small investment considering how expensive the Matrice 400 itself is (often over $10,000). It’s available through DJI Enterprise distributors.

The post DJI launches AP100 Parachute to help protect its 9.74 kg Matrice 400, payloads, and people on the ground appeared first on Gizmochina.

Content creators and filmmakers looking for high-quality audio in a tiny package now have a strong new option. DJI just launched the Mic Mini 2S, a compact wireless microphone system that delivers pro-level features without weighing you down.

What really stands out is its support for 32-bit floating-point internal recording. This means it can capture everything from quiet whispers to sudden loud sounds without distortion or clipping, giving you much more flexibility when editing later. The transmitter has a generous 14.5GB of built-in storage, which supports up to 28 hours of loop recording. You can record in raw format for detailed post-production or processed files if you want something ready to use right away.

The transmitter is incredibly light at just 12 grams. It features a detachable magnetic clip that rotates and a removable front cover, so you can easily customize it. It comes in Obsidian Black and Cloud White, with extra color options and windproof fur covers available separately.

The noise reduction system has two modes: Weak for indoor spaces (great for cutting fan noise or echo) and Strong for outdoor environments with traffic or wind. Battery life is solid too, with up to 11 hours on the transmitter and 10 hours on the receiver. The charging case pushes total usage to around 40 hours, and fast charging gives you about an hour of use from just five minutes plugged in. You can even use the transmitter by itself as a standalone voice recorder.

On the connectivity side, one receiver can pair with up to four transmitters (including older DJI models), and it supports mono, stereo, or quad track output, which is super useful for editing. It works directly with DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4, Action 6, and other devices in their ecosystem, plus it supports Bluetooth connections to phones. The transmission range goes up to 400 meters in ideal conditions.

Pricing and availability

In China, DJI is offering several bundles:

• One-to-two charging case kit: 1199 yuan (roughly €154 at the current exchange rate)
• 1-to-1 bundle: 629 yuan
• Phone-to-phone kit with case: 629 yuan
• Single transmitter: 399 yuan (~ €51)
• Special artist collaboration magnetic covers: 199 yuan

While the Mic Mini 2S is expected to launch in global markets soon, DJI hasn’t announced official pricing for regions outside China yet.

The post DJI Mic Mini 2S launches with 32-bit internal recording, 14.5GB of built-in storage, up to four transmitters appeared first on Gizmochina.

If you’ve been using (or eyeing) DJI’s Mic Mini 2, the Mic Mini 2S feels like the upgrade a lot of creators have been asking for. Set to launch officially on July 2 at 8 PM, the Mini 2S keeps everything people loved about the previous model, including its super-small size, stylish swappable magnetic covers in 10 different colors, solid transmission range, and easy-to-use voice presets. It now adds the one feature that was missing: onboard recording.

The new mic can record internally in high-resolution 24-bit/32-bit floating point, which gives you way more headroom and helps avoid nasty clipping when things get loud or unpredictable. With 14.5GB of built-in storage, you can safely capture hours of audio even if the wireless connection drops or your camera fails to record. It supports mono, stereo, and even quad-channel recording, so you can run up to four transmitters with one receiver.

The rest of the formula stays strong: up to 400 meters of range, two levels of AI noise reduction, three quick voice tone presets (Normal, Full/Rich, and Bright), and that ridiculously light 12g transmitter that basically disappears once it’s clipped on. The colorful magnetic covers are back too, so you can still match the mic to your outfit or production vibe.

DJI is launching it in four different kits to cover pretty much every use case, from a full camera and phone adapter bundle with a charging case to single-transmitter options and mobile-focused versions. Exact pricing hasn’t dropped yet, but early listings suggest it’ll sit in that premium-but-still-reasonable zone, probably a step above the Mic Mini 2.

This feels like DJI listening to feedback. The original Mini 2 looked great and performed well for its size, but a lot of solo creators and vloggers really wanted that safety net of internal recording. By pulling pro features from their bigger Mic 2 and Mic 3 systems into this tiny package, DJI has made something that should appeal strongly to mobile filmmakers, hybrid shooters, and anyone who needs reliable audio without the bulk.

We’ll know more on pricing, exact compatibility, and availability after the July 2 launch.

The post DJI Mic Mini 2S launching on July 2 with 14.5GB of built-in storage, 24-bit/32-bit internal recording appeared first on Gizmochina.

DJI has always been a reliable — and largely the only one — option in the world of small handheld cameras. Its Osmo Pocket series became the go-to choice for vloggers, travellers, and content creators who wanted smooth, high-quality video in a tiny package. 

But this year, it’s not alone, no more. Insta360, a brand famous for its 360-degree cameras, has stepped into DJI’s backyard with the Luna Ultra, and DJI has fired back with the Osmo Pocket 4P. The result is an exciting battle in compact cameras we’ve seen in years.

Both the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P and the Insta360 Luna Ultra are pocket-sized gimbal cameras. That means they have a built-in stabiliser to keep your videos smooth even while you walk, run, or move around. Both cameras also come with two lenses: a wide-angle lens for landscape and general shots, and a zoom lens for getting closer to your subject. Coincidentally, this dual-lens design is a first for both brands in this category, and it’s one reason why everyone is talking about them.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4P

The Pocket 4P is DJI’s most advanced pocket camera yet. It carries a 1-inch main sensor with a 20mm wide-angle lens at f/2.0, paired with a second 60mm zoom lens at f/1.8, which DJI says is a “golden portrait” focal length, because it makes faces look natural and gives that blurry background effect people love.

The gimbal has an incredible 17 stops of dynamic range, up from 14 stops on the standard Pocket 4. This means the camera can capture both bright skies and dark shadows in the same shot without losing detail. It can record 10-bit D-Log2 colour.

On the performance side, the Pocket 4P can shoot 4K video at up to 240 frames per second for super-smooth slow motion. It has 103GB of built-in storage, and the battery is rated at 210 minutes; it can charge to 80% in just 18 minutes. The camera also gets ActiveTrack 8.0, DJI’s latest subject-tracking technology, which keeps your subject in frame even when you’re using the zoom lens.

The Pocket 4P weighs 230 grams and connects via Wi-Fi 6 and USB 3.1 for fast file transfers. It starts at around 3,799 yuan in China — roughly $525 USD — though global pricing is expected to land between $649 and $699.

There is one big catch, though. Because DJI has been placed on the US government’s FCC Covered List since late 2025, the Pocket 4P cannot be sold officially in the United States. 

Insta360 Luna Ultra

Insta360 announced the Luna Ultra in June, and it went on sale almost immediately. Unlike the Pocket 4P, it’s available globally — including in the US — at $769.99. That makes it a perfect option for American creators who can’t get their hands on DJI’s latest.

The Luna Ultra was co-engineered with Leica, the legendary German camera maker. It has a 1-inch main sensor with a Leica Summicron 20mm f/1.8 lens, and an 8K video recording mode, which the Pocket 4P does not offer. The second lens is a 60mm f/2.0 telephoto on a 1/1.3-inch sensor, offering 3x optical zoom that extends up to 6x in-sensor and 12x digital zoom. Both cameras, interestingly, land on very similar optical setups.

Where the Luna Ultra really stands out is its design. It has an industry-first detachable 2-inch OLED touchscreen that can be pulled off the body and used as a wireless remote control. The screen can also be reattached in a variety of positions.

The Luna Ultra runs a triple AI chip setup, with a 4nm AI processor and two dedicated imaging chips. It supports Dolby Vision recording, Insta360’s I-Log colour profile for post-production editing, and a 4K60fps PureVideo low-light mode. Its battery life is rated at around four hours, and the camera can charge to 80% in roughly 23 minutes.

The camera also offers Leica-branded colour filters for quick, cinematic looks. It weighs just over 200 grams. 

Head to Head: How Do They Compare?

Which One Is Right for You?

If you’re outside the United States and value the very best image quality, the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P is a really good option. It also edges ahead on built-in storage and fast charging. DJI’s software ecosystem, tracking technology, and accessory range are also well established.

However, if you’re in the US, or if 8K video recording, the innovative detachable screen, and a Leica-tuned look matter to you, the Insta360 Luna Ultra is the one to get. It’s pricier, but it’s available right now, it’s globally supported, and for a first-generation vlogging camera, Insta360 has done more than we could ask for.

The post DJI Osmo Pocket 4P vs Insta360 Luna Ultra: The Pocket Camera War Is Here appeared first on Gizmochina.

DJI has officially introduced the Osmo Pocket 4P, its first pocket gimbal camera to feature two main cameras.

The launch comes just weeks after the company rolled out the standard Osmo Pocket 4 with a 1-inch sensor, 4K 240fps slow motion, and improved tracking, and builds directly on that foundation while adding a zoom upgrade.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4P Specifications

As we mentioned before, the headline feature is the new dual-camera setup. The primary 1-inch wide-angle camera has a 20mm equivalent focal length and an f/2.0 aperture, and thanks to LOFIC technology, it can capture 17 stops of dynamic range. 

Alongside it sits a brand-new 60mm mid-telephoto lens with an f/1.8 aperture, offering 3x optical zoom and up to 12x total zoom for portraits and tighter framing that older Pocket models couldn’t handle well.

Both cameras support the new D-Log 2 color profile with 10-bit color depth. The Pocket 4P can also shoot 4K at up to 240fps for smooth cinematic slow motion and supports slow-shutter recording for light trails and motion blur effects.

Like the Osmo Pocket 4, the Pro model gets the same 3-axis mechanical gimbal treatment to keep footage steady while walking or tracking moving subjects. DJI has also upgraded its tracking software with Intelligent Follow 8.0, which adds multi-person tracking and subject-following zoom up to 12x.

For vloggers, there are real-time beauty adjustments including skin smoothing and tone warmth controls, plus six built-in film color presets. Pairing the camera with the DJI Mimo app unlocks further color grading presets and formulas.

On the hardware side, the Pocket 4P comes with 103GB of built-in storage, so recording without a memory card is possible. It supports USB 3.1 for transfers up to 800MB/s, and the battery is rated for up to 210 minutes with fast charging support. It also doubles as a webcam and supports Wi-Fi live streaming and web conferencing.

Price and Availability

The DJI Osmo Pocket 4P price starts at 3799 yuan (~ $561) for the standard package, which includes the camera, a fill light, a 1/4-inch grip, a storage bag, and a USB-C cable. 

The Vlog Kit costs 4299 yuan (~ $634) and adds a DJI Mic Mini 2 transmitter, a viewfinder remote, and a mini tripod. Pre-orders are open now in China, with global availability expected to follow.

The post DJI launches Osmo Pocket 4P as its first gimbal camera with two main cameras appeared first on Gizmochina.

he rivalry between DJI and Insta360 has officially turned into a full-blown patent battle in the US. Just days after Insta360 launched its new Luna Ultra, DJI slapped them with lawsuits, and Insta360 quickly fired back with countersuits of their own. It’s a classic tit-for-tat fight that shows just how high the stakes are in the pocket gimbal and vlogging camera world right now.

Insta360 unveiled the Luna Ultra on June 10, 2026, as a premium dual-lens gimbal camera co-developed with Leica. It boasts 8K video recording, 4K 120fps slow-motion recording, a detachable OLED touchscreen, and seriously advanced stabilization. But on the very same day, DJI filed two lawsuits in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against Insta360. DJI claims the Luna series infringes on their design and utility patents related to the Osmo Pocket lineup. They’re asking for a permanent ban on sales in the US, plus damages.

Insta360 didn’t waste any time. On June 12, they hit back with two countersuits, accusing DJI of infringing on five of their own utility patents. These cover things like gimbal stabilization, directional control, smooth camera stabilization, telemetry overlay, and panoramic video stabilization. According to Insta360, these technologies show up in many DJI products, including the Osmo Pocket series, Ronin/RS gimbals, Osmo Mobile, and Osmo 360 cameras.

Insta360’s founder, JK Liu, put out a strong statement: “At Insta360, we prefer to let our products do the talking. But we are not afraid of a legal battle when challenged. We are fully committed to protecting our innovations and will take decisive action to defend our intellectual property from infringement.” He pointed out that the Luna Ultra came from years of their own R&D starting back in 2020, building on earlier products like the ONE R, Link Series, and Flow gimbals — not by copying anyone. Liu even suggested DJI’s same-day lawsuit showed “fear of competition from a highly competitive product.”

Insta360 has firmly rejected DJI’s claims. The Luna Ultra, priced around $770, reportedly got off to a strong start, becoming a top seller in Amazon’s camcorder category in the US during its first day. The company sees it as a fresh, innovative option in the stabilized vlogging space thanks to its dual lenses and modular design.

This fight builds on previous patent disputes the two companies had in China. As the cases move forward in Texas, a hotspot for IP battles, the outcome could affect product availability and shape how both brands approach innovation going forward.

The post Insta360 countersues DJI over infringement of its own stabilization, directional control, and telemetry overlay patents appeared first on Gizmochina.

DJI has been ruling the pocket camera market with almost no real competition. Its Osmo Pocket series has become the go-to tool for vloggers, travelers, and content creators who want smooth, high-quality video in a compact package.

Now, Insta360 wants a share of that market, and its latest attempt at it is the new Insta360 Luna Ultra. Announced recently, the camera directly targets Osmo Pocket users. Here’s everything you need to know about how these two cameras stack up.

What Are These Cameras?

Before diving into the details, let’s quickly explain what each camera is.

The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is DJI’s latest compact gimbal camera. It sits on a small handheld stick with a motorized gimbal that keeps footage smooth and stable, even while you are walking or moving. It has a built-in touchscreen and is designed for people who want to shoot great video without carrying heavy gear.

The Insta360 Luna Ultra is Insta360’s answer to that, and then some. It is the company’s first dedicated gimbal camera made in partnership with the famous camera brand Leica. Insta360 says this camera is not just another pocket camera. It is a step up in almost every way, designed for creators who want more power, more flexibility, and better image quality.

Design and Build

Both cameras follow a similar design. They have a small body with a gimbal camera on top. But the Luna Ultra adds some clever tricks.

The Luna Ultra features a detachable 2-inch OLED touchscreen. What makes this special is that you can remove the screen and use it as a remote control from up to 20 metres away. This is a huge deal for solo creators who film themselves. Instead of walking back to check your framing every few minutes, you can just glance at the remote in your hand. 

The Osmo Pocket 4 also has a 2-inch OLED screen, but it stays fixed to the camera body. It can flip between horizontal and vertical orientations, which is handy for quickly switching between landscape and portrait video.

Both cameras are compact and lightweight enough to slip into a pocket or bag. The Luna Ultra weighs just over 200 grams. Neither camera is bulky, which is the whole point of this category.

Camera Specs and Video Quality

The Luna Ultra is built around a 1-inch sensor that can shoot 8K video at 30 frames per second. It has two lenses: a wide-angle lens with an f/1.8 aperture (which means it performs well in low light) and a dedicated telephoto lens with up to 12x zoom, including 6x lossless zoom. 

It also supports Dolby Vision recording, 10-bit video capture, and up to 14 stops of dynamic range, meaning it captures a lot of detail in both bright and dark areas of a scene.

The Leica partnership also means the Luna Ultra benefits from Leica’s color science, which is known for producing natural, accurate, and beautiful colors.

The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is also a capable camera, built on DJI’s years of experience in this space. It is a strong performer with its own stabilization and image processing technology. However, the standard Osmo Pocket 4 uses a single camera lens, while the Luna Ultra comes with a dual-lens system as standard. 

It is worth noting that DJI is expected to release a Pocket 4 Pro with a dual-lens system in the coming weeks, which would make the comparison more direct. But right now, the Luna Ultra already has the dual-camera advantage.

AI and Tracking Features

The Luna Ultra uses Deep Track 5.0, Insta360’s subject-tracking technology. This lets the camera automatically follow a person or object as they move through the frame. It also supports features like Active Zoom Tracking and Smart Framing, which adjusts the composition of your shot automatically.

The Osmo Pocket 4 uses DJI’s ActiveTrack system, which is also well-regarded and has been refined through several generations of DJI products. Both systems work in a similar way. You point the camera at your subject, tap to lock on, and the camera will keep them in frame as they move.

Moreover, the Luna Ultra has built-in wireless microphone integration, which means it is designed from the ground up to work seamlessly with wireless mics. 

Storage and Battery

The Luna Ultra comes with 47GB of internal storage and supports microSD cards up to 1TB. Insta360 claims the battery can last up to four hours. 

The Pocket 4 has 107GB of actual useable storage, while also supporting a 1TB microSD card. The battery can last about four hours, like Luna Ultra. 

Availability

The Luna Ultra is available right now, priced at $769 in the US, and comes in white or black.

The DJI Osmo Pocket 4, on the other hand, is not officially on sale in the US. In December 2025, the FCC (the US body that regulates electronics) blocked DJI from receiving equipment authorization. This means DJI cannot officially sell new products in the United States. US consumers who want a Pocket 4 would need to buy it through unofficial channels, which means no full warranty or ecosystem support.

This is a massive opening for Insta360. With DJI effectively blocked in the US, the Luna Ultra steps into a market with very little competition at this price point.

Outside the US, the Pocket 4 launched at around £445 in the UK, and DJI still has a strong presence in many global markets. But for US-based creators, the Luna Ultra is clearly the more practical and sensible choice right now.

The post Insta360 Luna Ultra vs DJI Osmo Pocket 4: The Pocket Camera Battle of 2026 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Two of China’s biggest camera brands are now taking each other to court in the US. DJI filed not one but two lawsuits against Insta360 just days ago, on or around June 10, 2026. The target is Insta360’s newly launched Luna series of gimbal cameras, which DJI claims bear a little too much resemblance, both visually and technically, to their Osmo Pocket line. Both suits were filed in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.

What exactly is DJI accusing them of?

The first lawsuit is about design patents. DJI is arguing that the Luna cameras look too similar to the Osmo Pocket 3: the slim handheld body, the distinctive neck connecting it to the gimbal arm, the rotating screen, the side ports, the bottom interface. Close enough, DJI says, to genuinely confuse buyers.

The second lawsuit goes deeper, targeting four utility patents covering the actual technology inside the cameras: things like how the gimbal switches between “lock mode” and “follow mode,” the subject tracking system, and how the display integrates with the gimbal in real time. DJI goes as far as saying Insta360 “blatantly copied” these inventions with full knowledge of the patents, which opens the door to enhanced damages for willful infringement.

As remedies, DJI is seeking a permanent ban on Luna product sales in the U.S., along with damages — at minimum a reasonable royalty, and potentially a full disgorgement of profits.

This is also not happening out of nowhere. Earlier in 2026, DJI was already pursuing patent ownership claims in China, tied to inventions allegedly developed by former DJI engineers who later joined Insta360. The tension between these two companies has been building for a while, and this US lawsuit is more of an escalation than a surprise.

Insta360 is expected to fight back. They’ve already signaled intentions to defend vigorously, including potential countersuits over their own IP in pocket gimbals and 360-degree imaging.

The outcome of these cases could influence how both companies approach product development and market strategy going forward, and may set broader precedents for cross-border IP disputes in the imaging industry.

DJI is a household name when it comes to drones and gimbals. The popular camera drone maker is now entering a new category with the new DJI POWER 140W GaN Charger. 

It is DJI’s first high-efficiency gallium nitride (GaN) charger that can charge multiple devices using fast charging standards.

DJI Power 140W GaN Charger Specifications

The charger has three output ports: two USB-C and one USB-A. According to DJI, both USB-C ports can deliver up to 140W of power, thanks in part to the PD 3.1 support, which also improves compatibility with modern digital devices.

The USB-A port supports up to 33W output and is suitable for smaller devices like earbuds or older phones.

Of course, power is distributed when multiple devices are connected. The DJI Power 140W uses dynamic power allocation to ensure stable charging across all ports. Even if a device is plugged in or removed, the other ports continue to deliver steady power without interruption.

DJI also mentions that priority charging is given to its own ecosystem devices when connected.

The charger is built using GaN technology, which improves power efficiency while keeping the size compact. It measures 68.3 mm × 32.2 mm × 64 mm and weighs about 245 grams. It also features a foldable plug design and built-in over-temperature protection to help prevent overheating during heavy use.

Along with the charger, DJI is also bundling a 7A digital display data cable. This cable includes a built-in E-Marker smart chip that shows real-time power, voltage, and current information. It supports up to 240W power handling and also allows USB 2.0 data transfer. The cable uses a braided design.

The new charger is priced at 209 yuan (~$30).

DJI has reached a surprisingly dominant position in Japan’s video camera market, with new sales data showing the company now controls more than 70% of the segment.

According to BCN Ranking data, DJI held a massive 72.5% share of Japan’s video camera market, marking the highest level the company has reached so far. For comparison, rival Insta360 reportedly accounted for around 12.5% during the same period.

A big part of that momentum appears to be coming from DJI’s Osmo Pocket lineup, especially the newly launched Osmo Pocket 4 and Pocket 4P. The compact gimbal camera only went on sale in late April, but it quickly climbed to the top of the sales rankings in Japan.

BCN says the standard Osmo Pocket 4 alone captured roughly 21.5% of all video camera sales in the country within just nine days of availability. Several other DJI models, including the Pocket 4P and older Pocket 3, also ranked near the top of the charts.

Interestingly, DJI’s rise seems to be boosting the broader market as well. Overall video camera sales volume in Japan reportedly jumped 158.1% year-over-year in April 2026, while total revenue increased by 135.2%.

The company’s success likely comes down to how well its products fit current content creation trends. Compact cameras with built-in stabilization have become increasingly popular among vloggers, travelers, and social media creators who want better video quality than smartphones without carrying large mirrorless setups.

The Osmo Pocket series in particular has carved out a strong niche by combining stabilized footage, simple controls, and relatively compact pricing in a device small enough to fit in a pocket.

DJI is still best known globally for drones, but over the past few years the company has been steadily expanding into creator-focused imaging products. The latest sales figures from Japan suggest that strategy is paying off in a major way, especially in a market traditionally dominated by long-established camera brands.

DJI may already be working on the next Air-series drone, and an early regulatory sighting suggests the company could be heading in a very different direction this time.

According to leaker Igor Bogdanov (@Quadro_News), a new listing spotted inside a Chinese compliance-related app references the DJI Air 4. More interestingly, the categorization shown in the app appears to place the drone in the sub-250g class. If that ends up being accurate, it would be a pretty major shift for the Air lineup.

For context, the current DJI Air 3S weighs around 724g, including the batteries, which puts it well above the lightweight Mini series. A sub-250g Air model would basically blur the line between DJI’s compact beginner drones and its more advanced enthusiast lineup.

In many regions, including parts of Europe, drones under 250g face fewer restrictions and simpler registration requirements. That’s one of the biggest reasons DJI’s Mini series has become so popular among casual users and travelers.

The Air series, meanwhile, has traditionally focused more on higher-end imaging and advanced flight features. So if DJI really manages to combine Air-series capabilities with a sub-250g body, it could end up being a pretty compelling middle ground.

This also isn’t the first time the Air 4 has surfaced. Earlier this year, photos of what was reportedly a crashed prototype appeared online, showing a redesigned body with additional sensors mounted around the frame. At the time, it was difficult to tell how far along development actually was, but the newer regulatory listing makes the project feel a lot more real.

The current Air 3S already includes a dual-camera system with a 1-inch primary sensor, a telephoto camera, omnidirectional obstacle sensing, and strong flight times. DJI will likely need to make some careful compromises if it wants to shrink the platform below 250g while keeping the Air branding meaningful.

Still, newer battery tech, lighter materials, and more compact sensors could make that possible. DJI has also been releasing products at a pretty aggressive pace lately, including the Osmo Pocket 4 lineup, Osmo Mobile 8P, Mic Mini 2, and the new Lito drones. So another major launch later this year honestly wouldn’t be surprising.

DJI is about to launch the most ambitious Pocket-series camera it has made so far. The company has officially confirmed the global debut of the Osmo Pocket 4P, scheduled for May 14 during the Cannes Film Festival in France. Pre-orders are already live through DJI’s website, and early hands-on units have started appearing through Chinese media outlets and creators ahead of the announcement.

The biggest change this time is the camera setup itself. For the first time in the Pocket lineup, DJI is adding a second lens. The Pocket 4P combines the familiar 1-inch primary sensor from the standard Osmo Pocket 4 with a dedicated 3x telephoto camera, reportedly sitting around a 70mm equivalent focal length.

That may not sound like a huge upgrade at first, but it actually changes the way the Pocket camera can be used. Older Pocket models were mostly limited to wide-angle shooting, which worked fine for vlogging but wasn’t always ideal for portraits, interviews, or tighter cinematic framing. Adding a telephoto lens makes the Pocket 4P noticeably more flexible without forcing creators to rely heavily on digital zoom. Reports also mention a variable aperture system (f/1.7-f/2.8) for the main camera, alongside up to 12x hybrid zoom and around 6x “lossless” zoom depending on the shooting mode.

Outside of the camera hardware, DJI seems to be refining the rest of the experience rather than redesigning everything. The Pocket 4P reportedly supports 10-bit D-Log recording, upgraded ActiveTrack 7.0 tracking, and a larger 2.5-inch rotating touchscreen with brightness reaching 1000 nits. Battery capacity is also said to increase to around 2000mAh for longer recording sessions.

And of course, the signature 3-axis mechanical stabilization system remains one of the main selling points. DJI also appears to be pushing ecosystem integration more heavily this generation, with tighter compatibility expected between the Pocket 4P and the company’s microphones, drones, and creator accessories.

Pricing hasn’t been officially revealed yet, but the Pocket 4P is expected to sit above the standard Pocket 4 in DJI’s lineup. Availability in the US is still uncertain as well, since some recent DJI launches have faced regulatory complications there.

The Pocket 4P isn’t trying to replace larger mirrorless cameras, but it does seem aimed at creators who want more framing flexibility and better image quality without carrying around a full camera setup all day.

DJI has officially unveiled the new Romo 2 series AI-powered robot vacuum and mop cleaners in China. The lineup includes the Romo P2 and Romo A2 models, focusing on smarter cleaning, advanced obstacle detection, and reduced manual maintenance. The company is positioning the new series as a premium smart home cleaning solution powered by AI and DJI’s spatial sensing technology.

DJI Romo P2, Romo A2 specifications and features

The Romo 2 series comes with DJI’s upgraded AI cleaning system that can recognise different floor conditions and cleaning scenarios automatically. The robot can increase suction while cleaning carpets, detect liquid spills for targeted mopping, and intelligently navigate cluttered spaces without needing users to rearrange furniture beforehand.

DJI has equipped the Romo 2 lineup with a new obstacle avoidance system inspired by its drone technology. The setup combines laser radar sensors, fisheye vision cameras, and ToF sensing hardware to identify even small obstacles such as thin cables or pet pads. The system can also detect transparent objects like mirrors and glass surfaces. A built-in dirt-detection light helps the robot spot dust and obstacles in dark environments.

The cleaning hardware includes a radar-adaptive robotic arm capable of swinging up to 123 degrees for improved edge and corner cleaning. DJI says the new design can cover an additional 4.5cm area near walls compared to previous models. The Romo 2 series also features a powerful 36000Pa suction system with intelligent boost mode for carpets and deep dust removal. It supports 8.5cm dual-layer obstacle climbing and includes anti-tangle brush structures for hair management.

DJI has also focused heavily on automation and maintenance. The docking station supports high-temperature self-cleaning, multiple antibacterial features, hot-air drying, UV sanitisation, and automatic sewage cleaning. The robots additionally support voice control, remote video communication, dirt heatmaps inside the DJI Home app, and 55W fast charging.

DJI Romo P2, Romo A2 price and availability

DJI has launched four variants under the Romo 2 lineup in China:

• DJI Romo P2 (water tank version) – 5,999 Yuan (~$830)
• DJI Romo P2 (automatic water supply and drainage ultra-thin base station version) – 6,499 Yuan (~$900)
• DJI Romo A2 (water tank version) – 5,499 Yuan (~$760)
• DJI Romo A2 (automatic water supply and drainage ultra-thin base station version) – 5,999 Yuan (~$830)

 The products are currently available for pre-orders in China through DJI’s official online and offline channels. At this time, there is no official confirmation regarding global availability.

DJI is preparing to take the Pocket series in a slightly different direction this year. After several teasers on Chinese social media, the company has now confirmed that the upcoming Osmo Pocket 4P, sometimes shortened to Pocket 4 Pro, will launch globally. And unlike previous Pocket models, this one is focusing heavily on zoom and more flexible shooting options.

The biggest addition is a dedicated telephoto camera

The Pocket 4P keeps the same 1-inch primary sensor introduced on the standard Osmo Pocket 4, but adds a secondary 3x telephoto lens to the setup. That may not sound revolutionary on paper, but for a compact gimbal camera like this, it’s actually a pretty meaningful change.

One of the biggest limitations of previous Pocket models was that everything had to be shot through a single wide-angle lens. It worked well for vlogging, but portraits, tighter framing, and cinematic shots often relied heavily on digital zoom or cropping. The new telephoto camera changes that.

Early hands-on clips from China suggest the telephoto lens sits around a 70mm equivalent focal length and may use a fairly large 1/1.5-inch sensor. Reports also mention up to 6x “lossless” zoom and 12x maximum zoom overall, which should make the camera much more versatile for travel videos, interviews, and street-style shooting.

Outside of the second camera, the Pocket 4P seems to build directly on the standard Pocket 4. That model already introduced a few major upgrades compared to the Pocket 3, including 240fps recording at 4K, upgraded ActiveTrack, and a brighter rotating display. The upcoming Pocket 4P keeps all of that while adding the extra telephoto hardware. And of course, the signature 3-axis mechanical gimbal is still here, which remains one of the biggest reasons people buy Pocket cameras in the first place.

DJI has been teasing the device with the slogan “See More, Tell More,” which is honestly a pretty accurate summary of what this model seems designed for.

The rollout appears to start in China before expanding globally later. DJI pages for the device have already surfaced in markets like Canada and Mexico. Availability in the US is less clear, though. Similar to some recent DJI products, the Pocket 4P is reportedly facing regulatory hurdles tied to FCC authorization, and at least for now, it doesn’t appear on DJI’s US website.

The post DJI Osmo Pocket 4P global launch confirmed; design official appeared first on Gizmochina.

DJI has officially launched the Osmo Mobile 8P globally, and this time, the biggest upgrade is the new detachable remote. Announced on May 7, the Osmo Mobile 8P builds on the previous model with better tracking and a few smarter shooting tools, but the main focus is clearly giving solo creators more control when filming themselves.

The new remote, called Osmo FrameTap, comes bundled with every version of the gimbal. It’s a small magnetic touchscreen controller weighing around 29g, and it connects over Bluetooth with a range of up to 10 meters.

What makes it interesting is that it can display a live preview from the connected phone, letting users adjust framing remotely instead of constantly walking back to check shots. You can switch tracking subjects, control zoom and gimbal movement through an on-screen joystick, and even tweak fill light settings directly from the remote.

For Android users, DJI is also supporting direct phone screen mirroring on the controller itself. In practical terms, it means creators can use the rear camera for selfies or position the phone farther away while still keeping control of the shot. That kind of setup usually requires much more expensive gear, so it’s a fairly useful addition for vloggers and solo shooting.

Tracking has also been upgraded. DJI says the new ActiveTrack 8.0 system handles crowded environments more reliably, even when subjects move quickly or get briefly blocked from view. The optional Multifunctional Module 2 takes things further by expanding tracking beyond humans and pets to objects like vehicles or landmarks.

For iPhone users, there’s also Apple DockKit support, which allows native tracking directly inside compatible apps including the stock Camera app, YouTube, and Blackmagic Camera.

Outside of the new remote features, the Osmo Mobile 8P keeps most of the things people already expect from DJI’s smartphone gimbals. You still get 3-axis stabilization, a built-in extension rod, foldable tripod, and up to 10 hours of battery life under certain conditions.

The DJI Mimo app also adds a few extra shooting modes like DynamicZoom, Slow Shutter, and Action Shot, alongside 360-degree spin support for more stylized clips.

Pricing and availability

Pricing starts at €159 for the standard bundle, while higher-end kits with the Multifunctional Module 2 and microphone accessories go up to €219. One thing worth noting is that, similar to the previous generation, the Osmo Mobile 8P isn’t launching in the US.

DJI is getting ready to launch its next robot vacuum, the ROMO 2, on May 11. The biggest hints so far revolve around navigation and low-clearance cleaning.

An official teaser video suggests the ROMO 2 can slide under beds and sofas with very little space underneath, something many robot vacuums still struggle with. Another teaser suggests the vacuum can move around objects placed on the floor, without bumping into them. That likely points to improvements in obstacle detection and movement precision.

There are also hints at better mopping performance this time around, including quicker floor drying after cleaning, though DJI hasn’t officially detailed how that system works yet. For context, DJI only entered the robot vacuum space relatively recently with the first-generation ROMO lineup, which launched in China last year. Unsurprisingly, the company leaned heavily on its drone experience for things like navigation and sensing.

The original ROMO models used a combination of dual fisheye cameras and solid-state LiDAR for mapping and obstacle avoidance, helping them move through crowded spaces with very little manual intervention. Some versions even came with transparent design elements, giving them a more futuristic look than most robot vacuums on the market.

On the cleaning side, DJI advertised suction power up to 25,000Pa, alongside dual robotic arms for edge cleaning and anti-tangle roller brushes aimed at handling long hair more effectively. The docking station was also fairly ambitious, supporting self-cleaning and long maintenance intervals of up to 200 days. The ROMO 2 will likely build on most of that rather than completely changing direction.

At this point, full specs are still under wraps, but the quick follow-up launch suggests DJI is moving aggressively in this category. The company is clearly trying to position itself against established names like Roborock and Ecovacs, especially in the premium smart cleaning segment.

As usual, China will probably get the device first, with wider availability coming later if DJI follows the same rollout strategy as before.

DJI has officially launched the Mic Mini 2 globally, and while the new model brings a few expected upgrades, there is something more interesting tucked into the announcement. The company has quietly confirmed that a more capable version, the Mic Mini 2S, is on the way.

The Mic Mini 2 itself adds a few nice touches. There are new magnetic faceplates in different colors, vocal tone presets like Bright, Normal, and Rich, along with improved charging options and a basic two-level noise cancellation system. It feels like a refinement rather than a big jump.

The bigger news is what comes next. DJI says the Mic Mini 2S will launch sometime this summer, which likely means anywhere between June and September.

What makes the 2S version stand out is the feature set. It is expected to borrow a couple of key capabilities from the higher-end Mic 3, bringing them into a much smaller and more affordable package.

One of those is internal recording on each transmitter. That acts as a backup, so even if your camera or phone fails to capture audio, the recording is still saved directly on the mic. It is one of those features you do not always think about until you actually need it.

The other upgrade is support for up to four transmitters with a single receiver. That opens the door for recording multiple people at once without needing a more complex setup, which could be useful for interviews or small group recordings. DJI has not shared much beyond that. Details like design, pricing, and the full spec sheet are still under wraps for now.

Looking at the lineup, the positioning is starting to make sense. The Mic Mini series is aimed at creators who want something small and simple, while the Mic 3 sits at the top with more advanced features. The Mic Mini 2S seems to sit right in between, adding a bit more flexibility without losing the compact form factor.

If DJI gets the pricing right, this could end up being a very practical option for creators who want more control over their audio setup without stepping up to a larger system.

The post DJI confirms Mic Mini 2S launch for summer with features from Mic 3 appeared first on Gizmochina.

DJI has launched the Mic Mini 2, a compact wireless microphone system for cameras, smartphones, computers, tablets, and DJI’s Osmo devices. The new model records 48kHz, 24-bit omnidirectional audio and focuses on cleaner voice capture, longer battery life, and wider device support.

The transmitter weighs about 11g without the clip or magnet and measures 28.58 x 28.04 x 13.52mm. It comes with a detachable, rotatable magnetic clip for easier positioning. The receiver weighs about 17.8g and measures 46.50 x 29.61 x 19.32mm. Both support GFSK 2Mbps wireless, Bluetooth 5.3, 2.4GHz to 2.4835GHz frequency, and less than 20dBm EIRP.

DJI has added Regular, Rich, and Bright voice presets, along with two-level noise cancellation for indoor and outdoor use. The Mic Mini 2 also supports automatic limiting, five-level gain control, and dual-track recording through the DJI Mimo app. Audio specifications include a 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response with low cut off, 100Hz to 20kHz with low cut on, 120dB SPL at 1% THD, 24dBA equivalent noise, and 20mW monitor output at 1kHz, 32 ohms.

Transmission range is rated at up to 400 meters with two transmitters and one receiver, up to 300 meters with the mobile receiver, and up to 200 meters in mixed mode. DJI OsmoAudio Direct Connection lets up to two transmitters connect directly to supported devices, including Osmo Pocket 3, Osmo 360, Osmo Nano, and Osmo Action 6, without a receiver. The DJI Mic Series Mobile Receiver also supports DJI Mic 3.

The transmitter has a 114mAh battery, runs for about 11.5 hours, and charges in around 70 minutes. The receiver has a 170mAh battery, lasts about 10.5 hours, and charges in around 100 minutes. A five-minute charge gives about one hour of use, while the charging case raises total backup to 48 hours.

Pricing & availability

DJI Mic Mini 2 is available through DJI’s official store and authorized retailers. Prices start at EUR 35 for one transmitter. Kits are priced at EUR 59 for 1TX + 1RX, EUR 59 for 1TX + 1 Mobile RX + case, EUR 79 for 2TX + 1 Mobile RX + case, EUR 99 for 2TX + 1RX + case, and EUR 114 for the 2TX + 1RX + case bundle with the DJI Mic Series Mobile Receiver. Magnetic covers cost EUR 19, while Time Series covers cost EUR 39.

DJI is expanding its more affordable drone lineup with a new Lito series, aimed at beginners and casual users who want something easy to fly without giving up too much in terms of features. The focus here is to keep things simple, keep them portable, and still offer enough capability to make aerial photography worthwhile.

The lineup includes two models. The Lito 1 is positioned as the more accessible option, while the Lito X1 steps things up slightly with better hardware and more advanced safety features. Both are lightweight, coming in under 249 grams, and feature foldable designs that make them easy to carry around.

Both drones support DJI’s O4 transmission system, offering a stable 1080p video feed, and there is optional 4G support for better connectivity. Quick takeoff is another highlight, cutting down the wait time before you can actually start flying. They can also track and retrace flight paths in well-lit environments, which should help beginners feel a bit more confident.

Battery life is solid for the segment. The standard Intelligent Flight Battery is rated for up to 36 minutes, while an extended option can push that to around 52 minutes. The omnidirectional vision system actively avoids obstacles like cliffs, and walls, making the drones beginner-friendly. The Lito X1 also adds a forward-facing LiDAR sensor for improved depth sensing and more precise obstacle detection.

The Lito 1 uses a 1/2-inch 48MP sensor that can capture 8K photos and 4K/60fps video. The Lito X1, however, is where things get more interesting. It steps up to a larger 1/1.3-inch sensor (with the same resolution) and adds support for 4K/60fps HDR video, 4K/100fps slow-motion recording, and 10-bit D-Log M.

There are also plenty of software features like subject tracking, quick-shot modes, time-lapse, and panoramas. Taken together, the Lito series feels like a push to make entry-level drones a bit more capable, without making them harder to use.

Pricing and availability:

Pricing in China starts at 1,999 yuan for the Lito 1, with bundles going higher depending on the controller. In Europe, the Lito 1 is priced at €339, with the Fly More Combo (DJI RC-N3) at €479. The Lito X1 starts at 2,488 yuan in China, while European pricing begins at €419, going up to €579 for the Fly More Combo with the DJI RC 2 controller.

Both the drones are already available for order through where-to-buy and authorized retailers.

The post DJI Lito series debuts with up to 52-minute flight time, 4K/60fps HDR recording, and LiDAR obstacle detection appeared first on Gizmochina.

DJI had quite a bit going on with its latest announcements, but while the Mic Mini 2 grabbed most of the attention, there was also a quiet tease of something more interesting in the background, the Mic Mini 2S.

The Mic Mini 2 has already been listed with complete specifications and pricing, and it’s clearly aimed at everyday creators. Now the Mic Mini 2S is teased, and it looks like it’s meant for a different crowd. DJI hasn’t shared everything yet, but from what’s been hinted so far, this is the version for people who need a bit more flexibility, especially when things get slightly more complex than a one-person setup.

One of the bigger changes is the multi-transmitter support. The Mic Mini 2S is said to use a four-transmitter, one-receiver setup, which basically means you can run up to four mics through a single receiver. For things like panel discussions or group shoots, that could make life a lot easier. No need to juggle multiple receivers or patch things together.

Then there’s internal recording, which wasn’t included in the Mic Mini. Each transmitter of the 2S can record audio on its own, using built-in storage. It’s one of those features you don’t think much about until something goes wrong. A signal drop, interference, or just moving out of range, it happens. Having that backup running in the background can save an entire take.

Put those together, and the 2S feels like DJI addressing the usual weak spots with wireless audio. Managing multiple people and making sure you don’t lose audio if the connection isn’t perfect.

Pricing is expected to land above 1,000 yuan, so it’s clearly positioned above the standard model. There’s no full spec sheet yet, and DJI hasn’t confirmed a release timeline either. But from this early look, the direction is pretty clear. The Mic Mini 2S isn’t trying to replace the Mini 2, it’s building on it for users who need something a bit more dependable.

The post DJI Mic Mini 2S teased: 4 transmitters with internal recording support appeared first on Gizmochina.

About a week ahead of its teased global reveal, the DJI Mic Mini 2 briefly appeared on DJI’s China website, revealing full details. The listing has since been taken down, so this isn’t an official global launch just yet. Still, the information is already out there, and it gives us a pretty clear look at what DJI is preparing.

Most bundles include a black and white faceplate by default, while the top-end kit gets the full set. It’s a small change, but it makes the mic a bit more fun to use on camera.

You get 48 kHz 24-bit recording, automatic anti-clipping, and basic noise cancellation with two levels. Battery life also looks similar, around 11.5 hours for the transmitter and 10.5 hours for the receiver, with up to 48 hours total when using the charging case.

There are three voice tone presets: Normal, Bright, and Rich. It’s a simple feature, but useful if you want to tweak how your voice sounds without editing later. It also supports 32-bit floating-point internal recording.

Pricing and availability:

Based on the now-removed listing, the Mic Mini 2 starts at CNY 179 (around $26) for just the transmitter. From there, it goes up to CNY 329 (~$48) for a basic transmitter and receiver combo, or the same price if you opt for a transmitter with a charging case instead. A more complete bundle with a charging case, one receiver, and two transmitters is listed at CNY 429 (~$63).

Going further up, configurations with additional transmitters are priced at CNY 599 (~$88) and CNY 698 (~$103). As for accessories, windscreens and magnetic faceplates are listed at CNY 99 (~$15), while special edition versions of the faceplates go for CNY 199 (~$29).

One thing that’s a bit uncertain is availability in the US. A version of the Mic Mini 2 had shown up in FCC filings earlier this year, but those listings have since disappeared. That’s similar to what happened with the Osmo Pocket 4, which didn’t launch in the US right away. So for now, it’s not clear if or when this one will make it there.

DJI has introduced the Power 1000 Mini, a more compact portable power station featuring a 1008Wh battery. It’s about half the size of the standard Power 1000 and is designed for users who need a smaller, travel-friendly power solution for outdoor shoots, trips, and light backup use. The device was first unveiled in China in January and has now been made available in global markets.

The unit measures 314 × 212 × 216 mm and weighs 11.5 kg. It delivers 800W continuous AC output, with a peak of 1000W. Depending on the region, bypass output can go higher. It can also run select appliances rated up to 1200W. The port setup includes two AC outlets, two USB-A ports, one USB-C port, a retractable 100W USB-C cable, and an SDC port for DJI devices.

It uses an LFP battery rated for around 4000 charge cycles while maintaining about 80 percent capacity. Charging options include wall power, solar, and car input. With an AC input, it reaches 80 percent in 58 minutes and a full charge in 75 minutes. Car charging uses a 400W system and takes about 160 minutes for a full recharge. Solar charging is supported through a built-in 400W MPPT module with MC4 connectors.

The Power 1000 Mini also works as a UPS with a 0.01-second switchover during outages. It supports pass-through charging when connected to solar panels. There is a built-in LED light with adjustable brightness.

On the durability side, the body is flame-retardant and tested to handle up to one ton of pressure. It is rated to operate at altitudes up to 5000 meters. The sealed inverter design helps protect it from rain and salt exposure. Internally, it uses a 10-sensor battery management system. The unit can be monitored through the DJI Home app over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0.

The SDC port supports up to 300W output and allows fast charging for compatible DJI devices, including Air 3, which can go from 10 to 95 percent in about 30 minutes with a separate cable.

The Power 1000 Mini is priced at USD 467 and is now available globally through DJI’s official store and retail partners.

Less than a week after announcing the Osmo Pocket 4, DJI has unveiled the Osmo Mobile 8P in China today. The new gimbal brings a major design overhaul with a removable display module that allows it to function even as a wireless remote control. 

The controller attaches magnetically and can be removed for remote shooting. It has its own display that mirrors what the camera sees, including subject detection boxes. You can tap on the screen to choose who or what to track, and switch targets without going back to the phone.

The remote also doubles as a control hub. Its joystick doesn’t have fixed directional limits, which means it can be used more fluidly for gimbal movement, zoom, or adjusting lighting. 

DJI Osmo Mobile 8P Specifications 

At the center of the update is Smart Follow 8.0, which comes through the updated DJI Mimo app. DJI says the new version is designed to hold onto a subject more reliably, even in crowded environments like concerts or exhibitions. The system can identify a subject on-screen and continue tracking without losing focus when other people or objects move through the frame.

There’s also a new multi-functional tracking module 2, which expands what the gimbal can follow. It’s not limited to people anymore; it can lock onto pets like cats and dogs, and even track objects or vehicles. That module also includes a built-in fill light with adjustable brightness and color temperature, controlled directly from the remote.

On the connectivity side, the Osmo Mobile 8P supports Apple DockKit, allowing quick pairing through NFC and Bluetooth. 

Hardware-wise, DJI is combining several features into one unit. The gimbal includes a built-in extension rod, tripod, and fill light, along with up to 10 hours of battery life. There’s also a USB-C port that can be used to charge your phone while shooting.

The Osmo Mobile 8P continues to support gesture controls, automated camera movements, and composition assistance. For iPhone users, DJI is also offering a magnetic quick-release back sticker for faster mounting and removal.

Price and Availability

The DJI Osmo Mobile 8P starts at 899 yuan (around $130) for the standard version. A step-up option, the Osmo Mobile 8P AI, is priced at 1,099 yuan (roughly $160) and bundles in the Tracking Module 2. 

At the top end, the Osmo Mobile 8P Vlog combo costs 1,299 yuan (about $190), adding both the Tracking Module 2 and the DJI Mic Mini 2 for a more complete shooting setup.

DJI is set to launch its new Lito series on April 23, 2026, marking its first consumer drone release of the year. The company has officially confirmed the launch via teasers, with the event scheduled for 20:00 China time (12:00 GMT). Unlike a typical upgrade, the Lito lineup appears to introduce a completely new category in DJI’s drone portfolio.

The series is expected to include two models, the Lito 1 and the Lito X1. The Lito X1 is likely positioned as a successor to the Mini 5 Pro, aimed at users who want better imaging and smarter features. Meanwhile, the Lito 1 is expected to replace older entry-level models like the Mini 4K and Mini 3, focusing on affordability and ease of use.

Leaked pricing suggests aggressive positioning across markets. The Lito 1 is expected to start at €339 (around $370–$400), while its Fly More Combo could cost €479 (~$520–$560). The more advanced Lito X1 may begin at €419 (~$450–$500), going up to €759 (~$800–$900) for the Fly More Combo Plus bundle with the RC 2 controller. This places the series neatly between budget drones and more premium compact options.

Connectivity is expected to be a major highlight. The Lito series may feature DJI’s next-generation O5 transmission system with a range of over 20 kilometers. There are also reports of possible 5G cellular support using software-defined radio technology, which could improve signal performance in crowded environments.

Safety features could see a big upgrade as well. Both models are rumored to include 360-degree obstacle avoidance using a combination of fisheye cameras, infrared sensors, and LiDAR-like technology with detection up to 10 meters. This setup is designed to improve collision detection in all directions.

DJI is also expected to introduce smarter controls. Features like voice commands and gesture-based operation may allow for a more hands-free flying experience, making the drones easier to use for beginners.

In terms of design, both drones are expected to weigh under 249 grams and feature foldable bodies with three-axis gimbals. The Lito 1 may offer around 22GB of storage and up to 30 minutes of flight time, while the Lito X1 could include 42GB of storage and more advanced sensing capabilities.

Some key details, including camera specifications and video capabilities, are still unknown and will be revealed at launch.

The Lito series could reshape DJI’s entry-level lineup, potentially replacing older models while offering a better balance of features and price. DJI has also teased another product launching on April 28, likely a new wireless microphone system, adding to a busy month for the company.

The post DJI Lito X1 Series Launching April 23: Expected Specs, Price, and Features appeared first on Gizmochina.

After weeks of chatter, DJI has finally introduced its latest pocket-sized gimbal camera, the Osmo Pocket 4. The new model builds on the familiar formula of DJI’s long-running handheld gimbal series, but it comes with a larger sensor and a set of upgrades for creators.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Specifications

At the center of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is a newly upgraded one-inch CMOS sensor paired with an f/2.0 aperture. This combination brings a claimed dynamic range of up to 14 stops, which should help preserve more detail in both highlights and shadows.

It also supports a 10-bit D-Log color mode, offering greater flexibility in post-production.

The camera now supports 4K slow-motion recording at up to 240fps. On the audio side, DJI is adding spatial audio recording along with zoom audio pickup. There’s also support for OsmoAudio direct connection to DJI microphone transmitters, enabling up to four-channel audio recording. This makes the gimbal camera more practical for interviews or multi-source recording setups.

As for tracking, the Osmo Pocket 4 introduces Intelligent Follow 7.0, which supports subject tracking at up to 4x zoom. DJI has also added “Lock Subject Tracking” and “Priority Subject Registration” for a more stable and predictable tracking experience.

Gesture controls are part of the update as well, allowing users to start or stop tracking and recording without touching the screen.

For users focused on portrait shooting, DJI says it has calibrated the camera for more natural skin tones across different lighting conditions. There’s also a built-in beauty filter with adjustable smoothing, whitening, and tone settings.

It also supports an external fill light for adjustable brightness and color temperature in a compact form.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pricing and Availability

The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is now open for pre-orders, with deliveries scheduled to begin on April 22. DJI is offering the camera in three different bundles.

The base option keeps things simple, while the higher tiers gradually turn the Pocket 4 into something closer to a full creator kit.

The post DJI announces Osmo Pocket 4 with 1-inch CMOS sensor, 10-bit D-Log support appeared first on Gizmochina.

DJI is set to launch the Osmo Pocket 4 on April 16, but just ahead of that, a leak has put some focus on the Pro model. A new image shared online is said to show the Osmo Pocket 4 Pro next to the standard version, and the difference between the two is fairly noticeable.

The photo comes from tipster Igor Bogdanov. It does give a rough idea of what DJI might be working on. The regular model keeps the familiar single-camera setup, while the Pro version appears to add a second lens.

That second camera is really the main point of interest here. The module on the Pro looks larger and slightly heavier at the top, which probably has to do with the extra lens and gimbal hardware.

There have been earlier mentions of the standard model supporting 2x in-sensor zoom and up to 4x digital zoom. If that’s accurate, then the Pro version could be adding a telephoto lens, possibly around 3x optical zoom. That would give it a bit more flexibility, especially for creators who want tighter framing without relying too much on digital zoom.

The image itself doesn’t reveal much beyond the dual-lens design. It’s slightly blurry, and there aren’t any readable markings near the lenses, so most of this is still based on interpretation rather than confirmation.

As for timing, the Pro model may arrive later. Current leaks point to a late spring window, which would mean DJI is planning to separate the launches instead of announcing both together.

For now, it’s still early, and things could change. But even from this one image, it looks like DJI might be moving the Pocket series a bit closer toward a more flexible, camera-focused setup rather than keeping it strictly simple. More details should come through once the standard model is officially out.

The post DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pro spotted in hands-on photo alongside Osmo Pocket 4 appeared first on Gizmochina.

DJI looks to be testing another compact drone, based on a short clip that’s started circulating online. It shows a small model with built-in propeller guards, which usually points toward either a beginner-friendly design or something aimed at FPV-style flying.

DJI recently introduced the Avata 360, which brings 360-degree capture into the FPV space. That model is still in the early stages of rollout, so seeing another device already being tested suggests the company is working on multiple things at once.

From what’s visible in the footage, the drone sits somewhere between the Avata 2 and the Neo in terms of design. It has a compact body, enclosed propellers, and what looks like a single camera setup. Nothing too surprising there, but the guarded design does stand out, especially for indoor or close-range flying.

As for what it actually is, that part isn’t clear yet. Some think it could be an early Avata 3, given the similarity to DJI’s FPV lineup. Others are leaning toward a Neo 3, which would make sense if DJI is updating its more entry-level models. Right now, it’s mostly guesswork.

The footage itself isn’t very detailed, which is pretty typical for early testing leaks. Still, it does confirm that DJI has something new in development, even if it’s still at a fairly early stage.

If past releases are anything to go by, this probably won’t turn into a launch anytime soon. DJI tends to test its drones in public for a while before making anything official.

For now, it’s just a brief look at what could be coming next: either a follow-up to the Avata series or a refreshed Neo model with a similar approach to safety and usability.

The post Alleged DJI Avata 3 spotted in early test flight appeared first on Gizmochina.

DJI is getting ready to update its pocket gimbal camera lineup, with the Osmo Pocket 4 series now officially set to launch on April 16 at 12 PM (GMT). The new models look like they’ll build on the Pocket 3, with a focus on image quality and a few practical upgrades.

The company has already shared a teaser with the line “A myriad of images in an inch…” (translated from Chinese), which seems to point toward the sensor. As expected, low-light performance and dynamic range are likely areas of improvement.

From what’s been shown so far, the standard Osmo Pocket 4 sticks to the familiar design: a compact body with a camera mounted on top and a small rotatable screen below. There are also physical controls around the hinge area, including a zoom toggle and a customizable button.

There’s also talk of a Pro version, which could introduce a dual-camera setup. That part hasn’t been officially detailed yet, but it suggests DJI might be aiming for a bit more flexibility in terms of focal lengths or shooting modes.

On the hardware side, the standard model is expected to use a 1-inch sensor with up to 14 stops of dynamic range. It should also support 10-bit D-Log, which is useful if you’re planning to do color grading later.

A couple of smaller but practical upgrades are also mentioned. The device may come with 107GB of built-in storage, along with transfer speeds of up to 800MB/s, which should make moving footage a bit quicker.

Overall, it looks like DJI is keeping the same compact form factor but trying to improve the things that matter most for everyday shooting: better dynamic range, easier controls, and faster workflow.

We’ll know more once the company officially unveils the series later this week.

The post DJI Osmo Pocket 4 launch date confirmed appeared first on Gizmochina.

The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 has been leaking for a while now, but things are starting to look a lot more official. We now have the first high-resolution images of the retail packaging for the Osmo Pocket 4 Creator Combo and All-in-One Kit, along with core specs. 

As you can see, the Osmo Pocket 4 packs a 1-inch sensor with up to 14 stops of dynamic range. There’s also 107GB of built-in storage, paired with transfer speeds of up to 800MB/s, and notably, no visible microSD card slot this time around. 

Images shared by leaker OsitaLV show both the standard package and the all-in-one bundle, with the rear of the box essentially acting as a full spec sheet. The Osmo Pocket 4 includes support for 10-bit D-Log, 2x lossless zoom (likely enabled by new hardware), and Intelligent Follow 7.0 for improved subject tracking.

Other listed features round out the specs. The pocket camera supports OsmoAudio quad-channel output, three-axis stabilization, and a rotatable touchscreen designed for flexible shooting angles.

None of this comes completely out of the blue; the specs align closely with a previously leaked quick-start guide. But seeing them printed on final retail packaging makes this the most concrete evidence yet that the Osmo Pocket 4 is already in mass production.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Creator Combo

The Creator Combo appears just as stacked. According to the packaging, it includes the camera itself alongside a long list of accessories: a gimbal clamp, threaded handle, mini tripod, wireless microphone transmitter, magnetic clip, windshields, fill light, extended lens, and multiple carrying options. 

The box art also highlights the camera’s rotating display and showcases a sample shot of dramatic mountain scenes. 

If the leaks are accurate, the wait won’t be long. Chinese distributors reportedly already have stock in hand, and multiple sources point to a global launch on April 20th, 2026, with availability in the US expected at the same time.

The post DJI Osmo Pocket 4 retail packaging reveals everything you need to know before launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

DJI has stepped into the growing 360-degree FPV space with the new Avata 360, and it’s clearly aiming at creators who want more flexibility from their footage. The idea is simple on paper: capture everything in one go, then decide the framing later.

The Avata 360 uses a dual-lens setup with 1/1.1-inch square CMOS sensors. Each one has relatively large 2.4 μm pixels, which should help in tricky lighting. DJI claims up to 120MP stills and 8K 60fps HDR video in full 360 mode. There’s also a single-lens mode for more traditional 4K 60fps recording if you don’t need the full spherical view.

What makes this kind of camera interesting is what happens after shooting. Since the drone captures everything around it, you can reframe shots later, pick different angles, or even create multiple clips from a single flight. It’s not entirely new as a concept, but having it on a compact FPV drone does make it more usable in day-to-day shooting.

DJI is also bringing over its usual flight tech. The Avata 360 uses the O4+ transmission system, offering a 1080p 60fps live feed with a claimed range of up to 20km. There’s omnidirectional obstacle sensing as well, which should make flying a bit less stressful, especially in tighter environments. Features like ActiveTrack 360° and Spotlight Free are included too.

A few practical touches stand out. The front lens can be replaced if it gets damaged, there’s 42GB of built-in storage, and Wi-Fi 6 helps speed up file transfers. Flight time is rated at up to 23 minutes, and the drone weighs about 455 grams.

DJI launched the Avata 360 on March 26, with availability starting in China and wider rollout expected soon. Pricing sits around £409 or €459, which feels fairly aggressive for what’s being offered.

The post DJI Avata 360 goes official: 8K 360° recording, 23-min flight time appeared first on Gizmochina.

According to the latest information from leaker Jasper Ellens, several European retailer listings have revealed possible pricing for the upcoming DJI Avata 360 and its bundles. The base model is reportedly listed at €459, which would make it relatively affordable compared to other high-end 360-degree camera drones.

Several bundle options are also expected. One version, the Avata 360 Fly More Combo with the RC 2 controller, is said to cost €939. Another configuration, called the Motion Fly More Combo, includes the RC Motion 3 controller and Goggles N3, also priced at €939. A higher-end Premium Combo, which includes Goggles N3 and the RC 2 controller, is listed at around €1,159.

Accessories appear fairly reasonably priced as well. Leaked listings suggest the Intelligent Flight Battery may cost about €79, while replacement lens kits and propellers could be sold separately for around €21 and €9, respectively.

If these details are accurate, DJI may be aiming to compete directly with drones like the Insta360 Antigravity A1, particularly by keeping entry pricing relatively low while still offering features such as replaceable lenses and larger batteries.

A recent teasers from DJI also hints at some of the drone’s capabilities. The company described the Avata 360 as an “8K Flagship 360° Drone,” confirming support for 8K 360° video recording. The teaser also reveals a launch date of March 26, 2026, while current leaks suggest shipments in Europe could begin around April 9.

Meanwhile, a few hands-on images shared online have offered an early look at the drone’s design. The photos show a compact quadcopter with a protective propeller cage and a central camera system designed for dual-lens 360-degree capture.

The overall shape appears somewhat similar to the DJI Avata 2, although the frame looks slightly more protective.

The post DJI Avata 360 hands-on images, full bundle pricing leaks ahead of March 26 launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

DJI may soon return to the spotlight in the FPV drone space, and early leaks suggest the company is preparing something a little different this time. If the latest information proves accurate, the next Avata model could make 360-degree aerial capture far more accessible than it has been so far.

Details about the rumored drone, widely expected to be called the DJI Avata 360, have surfaced through several leaks from known DJI watcher Jasper Ellens. According to the leak, the drone-only version could start around $499, which would put it below the current Avata 2, typically priced at around $600. That alone would make it one of the more affordable entries into the growing 360 FPV category, where competitors such as the Insta360 Antigravity A1 sit at noticeably higher prices.

Ellens has also said that leaked promotional images and packaging circulating online appear to be genuine. Those images reveal a few practical features as well. For example, the drone is expected to support replaceable lenses, with a two-pack reportedly costing around $50 or €50. The lenses appear to use a simple screw-in design, which should make quick replacements possible after scratches or minor crashes.

Battery pricing may also be more approachable. Spare Intelligent Flight Batteries are rumored to cost about $70 or €70, each with a 38.6 Wh capacity. That would actually be larger than the 31.8 Wh battery used in the Avata 2, which could translate to longer sessions in the air.

As for the drone itself, the design shown in leaks suggests a compact body with cinewhoop-style propeller guards, similar to earlier Avata models. The key difference would be the addition of 360-degree imaging, possibly through a dual-camera setup.

DJI has already started teasing something new on social media, hinting at “an all-new dimension of aerial creativity.” According to Ellens, another teaser is expected on March 12, with more promotional material likely to follow.
