DJI Tries to Block Luna Ultra in USA: Insta360 Countersues in US Court

insta360 dji usa

Insta360 has finally responded to DJI’s patent infringement lawsuits by filing two countersuits in the United States, claiming that DJI has infringed five of its utility patents.

Why is this happening? Insta360 moved quickly here; the official information comes just two days after DJI filed lawsuits against Insta360 on June 10, 2026 – the same day Insta360 officially launched its new Luna Ultra pocket gimbal camera.

What Happened

So, we are going to break down exactly what happened after the DJI lawsuit, so it all started on June 10, when DJI filed two separate patent lawsuits against Insta360 (Arashi Vision Inc.) in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The lawsuits target Insta360’s newly launched Luna series gimbal cameras.

DJI is seeking a permanent injunction to block the sale of the Luna Ultra in the United States, along with damages.

In response, Insta360 filed two countersuits on June 12, asserting that DJI products infringe on its own patents.

DJI’s Allegations

According to court filings, DJI claims that Insta360’s Luna Ultra infringes on:

  • 2 design patents — alleging that the Luna Ultra copies the design and appearance of the Osmo Pocket 3.
  • 4 utility patents — related to usability features and functionality.

DJI argues that the Luna Ultra was developed using technology protected by its patents.

Insta360 Fires Back with Countersuits

Insta360 is in strong backfire mode and has strongly rejected DJI’s claims and filed countersuits asserting infringement of five utility patents covering key gimbal and camera technologies. These include:

  • Gimbal stabilization
  • Gimbal directional control
  • Camera smooth stabilization
  • Telemetry overlay
  • Panoramic video stabilization

Insta360 claims these patented technologies are used across several DJI product lines, including the Osmo Pocket series, Ronin/RS series, Osmo Mobile series, and Osmo 360 cameras.

Official Statement from Insta360 Founder JK Liu

Insta360 Founder JK Liu issued a strong statement defending the company’s position:

“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 further stated:

“Luna Ultra is the result of years of independent R&D, not a response to any competitor’s product. Development began in 2020, with earlier Insta360 products including the ONE R, Link Series webcams, and Flow Series gimbals helping shape the technology and design direction behind Luna Ultra. DJI filing lawsuits on the same day we launched Luna Ultra speaks volumes — exposing their fear of competition from a highly competitive product.”

Buyer Advisory: Will This Affect Insta360 Availability in the USA?

Now, if you are worried about the availability of the Insta360 products in the USA market, here is a quick breakdown for you of what is expected to happen next and why you should not be worried at all about the availability of Insta360 products.

Time Frame Risk Level What It Means
Next 1–3 months Very Low No impact expected. Cases are too new.
Next 6–12 months Low Unlikely to affect sales significantly.
1–2 years later Low to Medium Possible changes, but not guaranteed.

Key Points:

  • These lawsuits are still in the very early stages. No court has made any decision yet.
  • Insta360 has filed strong countersuits, which shows they are prepared to fight.
  • Even if DJI wins some claims in the future, it usually results in settlements or licensing deals rather than a complete ban on products.
  • Right now, the Luna Ultra and all other Insta360 cameras remain fully available for purchase and shipping in the USA with no restrictions.

Bottom line for buyers: There is no need to rush or delay your purchase due to these lawsuits at this time. The situation is unlikely to affect product availability in the short term.

What This Means

This is not new for sure, Both companies have a history of patent disputes. In March 2026, DJI filed a lawsuit in China alleging that Insta360 infringed on drone-related patents developed by former DJI employees. Insta360 had denied those claims and stated that all innovations were developed independently.

This latest legal battle marks a significant escalation in the ongoing rivalry between Insta360 and DJI in the pocket gimbal camera segment. While DJI is attempting to block or restrict the Luna Ultra in the U.S. market, Insta360 is positioning itself as the innovator being targeted for creating a competitive product.

Bottom Line

This time, Insta360 is taking an aggressive stance by filing countersuits rather than simply defending itself. The company appears confident in its intellectual property and is framing DJI’s legal action as an attempt to hinder competition against its new flagship pocket camera.

We will continue to monitor this case and provide updates as new information becomes available.

Insta360 Luna Ultra Now Available in USA: Official Store Live and Best Places to Buy (June 2026)

 

Xtra Muse 2 Pro: When Is It Actually Launching?

Xtra Muse PRO 2 image

Xtra Muse Pro announcement at the corner, and we are so excited about that. They have been teasing the Muse 2 and Muse 2 Pro for a while now, but they still haven’t made an official launch announcement. However, if you look closely at what they’ve actually said and done recently, you can piece together a pretty clear picture of when this camera is likely to drop — especially in the US.

Before we jump to the announcement window of the two, let’s have a look. Here’s a logical breakdown of all the available evidence so far.

Official Confirmation: Summer 2026

Back on April 30, 2026, Xtra put out an official press release where they confirmed that both the Muse 2 and Muse 2 Pro are coming to the US market in Summer 2026.

This is the only formal timeline they’ve given so far. Everything else we’re seeing now is basically them executing on that plan.

xtra muse 2 pro new design image

What Xtra Is Doing Right Now (June 2026)

Right now, Xtra is running two important things that give us strong clues:

  1. Big Promotion Until June 22

They’re currently offering a good discount on the current Xtra Muse (the first-gen model) using the code XTRAMUSEPD. This promotion runs from June 2 to June 22.

Why this matters: Companies usually don’t launch a brand new model while they’re still heavily discounting the old one. The fact that this sale ends on June 22 suggests they want to clear out old stock before bringing in the new Muse 2 series.

So, technically, they want to wipe out the stock of the Muse version 1.0 before June 22, by adding a massive discount on it. 

  1. Creator Selections Start June 15

Xtra has started a creator program where they’re giving away free Muse 2 Pro units to selected creators. Their posts clearly say selections begin on June 15.

Why this matters: Brands usually start sending review units 10–20 days before they want content to go live. Starting selections on June 15 is a pretty strong signal that they expect to have units ready and want reviews/content around launch time.

Instagram Replies Pointing to June

A lot of people have noticed that when they comment on Xtra’s teaser posts asking things like “When is it coming?” or “Are you launching in June?”, the official @xtratech_official account has been replying in a way that points toward June.

This lines up with what thenewcamera.com reported earlier — that after the initial teaser, Xtra’s follow-up replies were indicating a June–July 2026 window for the US.

So When Is It Actually Launching?

Let’s put everything together logically:

  • Before June 15 → Unlikely They’re still running a big promotion and haven’t even started creator selections yet. Launching this early wouldn’t make much sense.
  • June 15 – June 22 → Possible but not ideal Creator selections start during this period, but announcing a new flagship while a major sale on the old model is still running is unusual. A soft tease or pre-order hint is possible, but a full announcement feels unlikely.
  • After June 22 (Late June – Early July) → Most Likely Once the current promotion ends on June 22, Xtra has a clean window. They can announce the new model without mixed messaging, and they’ll have had time to send units to creators. This window fits all the signals we’ve seen so far.
  • Latest realistic window: Mid-to-late July — still well within their official Summer 2026 promise.

Most Probable Timeline

  • June 15: Creator selections begin (already confirmed)
  • June 23 – July 5: Highest chance for the main announcement and pre-order opening
  • Mid-to-late July 2026: Expected shipping and general availability

This timeline respects the official Summer 2026 statement, works around the June 2–22 promotion, fits the June 15 creator program start, and matches the pattern of official replies pointing to June activity.

Why This Actually Matters

The Xtra Muse 2 Pro is shaping up to be the most serious US-market alternative to the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P right now. Because of ongoing issues with FCC approval and tariffs, the real DJI Pocket 4 series has been difficult to get in the United States.

If Xtra delivers on the teased specs (dual-lens system, 1-inch sensor, 128GB built-in storage, bi-directional screen), this could become one of the more important pocket camera launches for American creators in 2026.

Bottom Line

Xtra hasn’t made an official announcement yet, but the evidence is pretty consistent. Between the official Summer 2026 statement, the promotion ending June 22, creator selections starting June 15, and their Instagram replies pointing to June, the most logical window for the main announcement is late June to early July 2026, with units becoming available in mid-to-late July.

We’ll keep watching their official channels and update this as soon as anything concrete drops.

Insta360 Luna Ultra Now Available in USA: Official Store Live and Best Places to Buy (June 2026)

DJI Pocket 4 Pro White Colour Hands-On: What American Buyers Should Know

 

Insta360 Luna Ultra Now Available in USA: Official Store Live and Best Places to Buy (June 2026)

Insta360 Luna has finally been announced and is available for pre-order, and shipping has also started. As we have reported previously, shipping is based on first come first server basis. As early as you place an order, you will have a higher the chance of getting the Luna Ultra within the next few days, or as long as the early stock lasts.

One of our subscribers, who ordered the Insta360 Luna on June 9, has already received their shipment on June 11 in the United States of America. It’s highly recommended to use the B&H Store for quick and secure delivery. Other than that, the Luna Ultra is also available among all the major online retailers and will soon become available in offline stores too.

Current Status (as of June 10, 2026)

Insta360 launched the Luna Ultra today with a live event. The camera is no longer in pure “pre-order” mode in the US — you can buy it right now from the official store.

Here’s where things stand at the moment:

Retailer Status Price (Standard Bundle) Notes
Amazon.com Available Now $769.99 Full bundles in stock, “Add to cart” live
B&H Photo Coming Soon $769.99 Early units shipped, first batch sold out quickly
Adorama Active Listing ~$769.99 Available for US customers

Official Insta360 Store – Bundle Options

B&H Photo Update

B&H Photo was one of the first major US retailers to list the Luna Ultra. Some early customers were even able to order and receive shipping confirmation before the official launch event. However, B&H has now changed the listing to “Coming Soon”, suggesting the initial allocation sold out very quickly.

If you want to buy from B&H, we recommend signing up for their stock alert.

Final Verdict

The Insta360 Luna Ultra has arrived in the US market faster than many expected. With the official store now live and multiple bundles available, American buyers finally have a clear and legitimate way to purchase the camera without waiting for grey market imports.

Right now, the official Insta360 Store is the most reliable place to buy, especially if you want specific bundles or accessories.

We’ll be updating this article as stock levels and retailer availability change over the next few days.

Insta360 Luna Ultra Launch Today: Already Shipping from B&H

Insta360 Luna Ultra Launch Today: Already Shipping from B&H

insta360 img 2

Insta360 has confirmed that the Insta360 Luna Ultra announcement is about to happen today, that is on June 10, and more surprisingly than that, the B&H Store has already listed the camera in its stock. The units are already prepared for shipping, and also to a few customers, those who were able to order it in time. So this also shows that Insta360 has adopted an unconventional launch strategy, as the company is shipping real units to consumers even before the global reveal/announcement of the product.

Insta360 Luna Ultra Official Launch Time

Insta360 has announced a live launch event for today. Here are the timings:

  • 8:30 AM – 9:00 AM EDT (US Eastern Time)
  • 6:00 PM – 6:30 PM IST (India Standard Time)

The company is currently using the tagline “Luna has arrived” along with a “Launch Live” prompt on its website, signaling that full specifications and details will be shared during today’s event.

B&H Already Shipping Insta360 Luna Ultra

the biggest surprise we are talking about. B&H has already accepted pre-orders of the Luna Standard Combo (Cosmic Black) even before the official announcement, and we have never seen before that B&H has started shipping a product even before the official announcement has been made by the company itself. For proof, we have the screenshot of a customer who has shared the shipping confirmation of the Insta360 Luna product, and it will be delivered on June 11.

Later on, when we have researched more,  several customers have shared order confirmations showing expected delivery as early as June 11. B&H has now changed the listing status to “New Item – Coming Soon”, suggesting the first batch sold out quickly.

This early availability has created significant buzz in the camera community, especially among users looking for an alternative to DJI’s upcoming Osmo Pocket 4 Pro in the US market.

Insta360 Luna Ultra Price at B&H

During the brief in-stock period, B&H listed the Insta360 Luna Ultra Standard Combo at $769.99. This is currently the most concrete pricing available for the US market.

Why Is Insta360 Launching This Way?

Insta360 appears to be following a surprise launch strategy. By allowing B&H to sell units early and holding the official event today, the company is generating real-world interest and authentic customer feedback ahead of wider global availability.

This approach has helped Insta360 create strong momentum in the US market, where demand for new pocket cameras remains high.

Should You Buy the Insta360 Luna Ultra Now?

Situation Recommendation Reason
Already ordered from B&H Good – Some units shipping June 11 Early stock is moving
Considering buying from B&H now Wait for official launch More clarity coming today
Outside the US Wait for global pricing & availability Regional details expected soon
Want full specs & comparisons Wait for today’s event Official information coming

Bottom Line

The Insta360 Luna Ultra official launch is happening today. While some early units have already started shipping from B&H, most buyers should wait for the live event to get complete specifications, final pricing, and bundle details.

We will update this article with key highlights, full specs, and pricing information as soon as the launch event concludes.

DJI Pocket 4 Pro White Colour Hands-On: What American Buyers Should Know

Why DJI Pocket 4 & Pocket 4 Pro Are Still Banned in the USA – June 2026 Update

LK Samyang 14-24mm f/2.8 L-Mount Review: Is This the Best Ultra-Wide Zoom for Night Street Photography?

lens review

For L-mount shooters who regularly shoot night streets and urban landscapes, the lens options have always felt like a compromise. You could carry the excellent but heavy Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 DG DN Art, or spend Leica money for the 14-24mm f/2.8 ASPH. The LK Samyang AF 14-24mm F2.8 L, developed in collaboration with Schneider-Kreuznach, is the first lens that genuinely feels like it was designed with real-world night and urban shooters in mind.

I spent several nights testing this lens on my Panasonic Lumix S5 II, walking city streets after dark, chasing light trails, and working with reflections on wet pavement. What surprised me most was how often I reached for it instead of my usual primes. Sample images from these sessions will be updated on this page later this week.

Key Specifications

Aperture f/2.8 constant – f/22
Optical Construction 15 elements in 11 groups (3 ASP, 5 HR, 3 ED)

US Pricing (June 2026): Approximately $1,199 street price. Available at B&H Photo, Adorama, and major US retailers.

Lens review

Build, Handling & Real-World Usability

At just 441g, this is dramatically lighter than the Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 Art. On the S5 II, the combination feels almost like a large prime rather than a zoom. After a full night of walking and shooting, my shoulder and wrist were noticeably less fatigued than with heavier glass.

The 77mm front filter thread is the feature that will matter most to night and urban photographers. While Sigma and Leica force you into rear gelatin filters or no filters at all, the Samyang lets you mount regular NDs for long-exposure light trails or CPLs to control reflections on wet streets and glass. During testing, I found this single feature changed how I approached night street work.

While walking through downtown streets after dark, the 14mm end let me exaggerate the height of buildings and leading lines from wet pavement reflections in a way my 24mm prime never could. With the S5 II’s IBIS, I could comfortably shoot at 1/15s handheld at f/2.8 and ISO 1600 without camera shake ruining the shot — something that would have required a tripod with heavier glass.

Build quality is solid with effective weather sealing. The rings are smooth, and the AF/MF switch is useful.

Image Quality – Real-World Performance

Sharpness

Center sharpness is excellent at f/2.8 across the zoom range. It becomes outstanding by f/4–f/5.6. At 14mm, the corners are good but not perfect wide open — they tighten up nicely by f/4. Between 20–24mm the lens is impressively consistent even at f/2.8. For night street work, I found f/4 delivered the cleanest results when I wanted maximum detail in building facades and street textures.

Distortion & Vignetting

There is noticeable barrel distortion and quite strong vignetting at 14mm. Both are easily corrected in Lightroom. In night street photography, the vignetting sometimes added a pleasing mood to scenes. For straight architectural lines, I preferred working at 18–24mm or applying corrections in post.

Flare & Ghosting

This remains the lens’s weakest area. In challenging night conditions with strong streetlights or headlights, ring flare and ghosting can appear. It’s manageable with careful composition and stopping down slightly, but you need to stay aware of it.

Night Street & Urban Landscape Performance

This is where the lens really shines. The constant f/2.8 aperture, combined with the S5 II’s excellent IBIS, let me shoot clean night streets at ISO 800–1600 handheld in situations where I previously needed higher ISOs or support.

One night, while shooting light trails on a busy avenue, I used a 6-stop ND filter on the 77mm thread and was able to get smooth 2-second exposures of moving traffic while keeping the buildings and street details sharp. The ability to use standard filters instead of fighting with rear gels or no filtration at all made the whole process much more enjoyable and creative.

Coma is well controlled for an ultra-wide zoom, so point light sources remain reasonably round toward the edges — useful when you have a mix of streetlights and building illumination in the frame.

Close Focus & Rendering

The 0.18m minimum focus distance is genuinely useful. I used it for environmental night portraits and detail shots of street elements with pleasing subject separation. Bokeh is smooth and rounded for an ultra-wide — very good in context.

Autofocus & Hybrid Use

The Linear STM autofocus is fast, quiet, and accurate on the S5 II. It works well for both stills and video. Focus breathing is low. For hybrid shooters doing run-and-gun night street work or urban documentary video, this lens performs confidently.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Extremely compact and lightweight (441g) — best-in-class portability
  • 77mm front filter thread — major practical advantage for night and urban photography
  • Excellent center sharpness at f/2.8; very good across the frame stopped down
  • Good coma control for night cityscapes
  • Close focusing (0.18m) adds creative flexibility
  • Solid weather sealing
  • Strong value compared to Sigma and Leica options
  • Quiet, reliable Linear STM AF

Cons

  • Noticeable distortion and vignetting at 14mm (correctable but present)
  • Average flare resistance in strong backlit night conditions
  • No optical stabilization (relies on camera IBIS)

Comparison Table

Lens Weight Filter Thread Approx. US Price Strengths Weaknesses
Samyang 14-24mm f/2.8 L 441g 77mm front $1,199 Portability, filter convenience, value Little distortion at 14mm
Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 Art 795g Rear only $1,539 Even sharpness, build Size, weight, price
Leica 14-24mm f/2.8 ASPH ~1,000g+ None $2,950 Premium rendering & build Size, weight, very high price

Who It’s For & Final Verdict

If your priority is carrying less gear while still getting excellent results for night street photography and urban landscapes — with the real-world convenience of a proper filter thread — the Samyang 14-24mm f/2.8 L is currently the most compelling option in L-mount under $1,500.

It’s not optically flawless. If you shoot a lot of critical architecture and want the most even performance with minimal post-processing, the Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 Art is still worth considering despite its size and higher price. But for the majority of night street, urban, travel, and hybrid shooters, the Samyang’s combination of size, weight, image quality, and filter flexibility makes it the smarter daily choice.

In my testing, I found myself choosing this lens more often than my heavier options because it simply made the experience of shooting at night more enjoyable. That, to me, is the highest compliment you can give a lens.

Sample images captured with this lens on my S5 II (night streets, light trails, urban nightscapes, and blue-hour city views) will be updated on this page later this week.

Insta360 Luna Ultra Launch Just Days Away: What to Expect in Mid-June 2026

lunaultra

The Insta360 Luna is expected to arrive in mid to late June 2026. We have the exact dates, but they vary depending on the country and region you live in. The global release date is expected to be around June 18. We’ve created a table listing all the dates we have received related to the Insta360 Luna Ultra and Pro announcement. All these dates that we are getting for now are the strongest rumoured dates yet.

And obviously, keep an eye on this article, so if we receive any set of latest information related to the upcoming Luna Ultra and Pro, and I am talking about their arrival dates, we will be updating this page ASAP.

While major tech sites remain silent, they have not confirmed any specific date. Consistent reports across X and Reddit suggest that Insta360 is preparing to launch the Luna series in mid-June. This timing would put the Luna Ultra in direct competition with the rumoured DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pro.

Take a look at the rumoured announcement date table,

Rumoured Launch Timeline: Insta360 Luna Ultra Announcement

Here’s a clear comparison of the currently rumoured announcement dates:

Product Region Rumored Date
Insta360 Luna Ultra Global (including US) June 18, 2026
DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pro China June 16, 2026
DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pro Global (excl. US) June 23, 2026
DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pro United States Postponded

US Market Situation

One key difference between the two cameras is US availability:

  • Insta360 Luna Ultra: Insta360 typically launches products globally at the same time (or within a few days). There is currently no sign of any US delay. The US market is expected to get the Luna Ultra around June 18, 2026. And onwards, shipping is expected to start from late June or Early July 2026
  • DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pro: As we all know, DJI has faced regulatory challenges in the US in recent years. Because of this, many recent DJI products have been launched later in the US compared to China and Europe. At this moment, there is no clear information about when (or if) the Pocket 4 Pro will be available in the United States.

This gives Insta360 a potential advantage in the US market if the June 18 date holds true.

June 18 Launch Date – Where Is This Coming From?

The June 18 date has gained traction from two main sources in the past few days:

  • Tech creator Steve (@CinemaSteveTV) posted on X that Insta360 is expected to launch the Luna Ultra on June 18, 2026, noting that this would create an intense “pocket gimbal camera war” with DJI’s upcoming Pocket 4 Pro.
  • On Reddit’s r/Insta360, a user shared that a German tech YouTuber had privately indicated June 18 as the release date.

These remain unconfirmed rumors at this stage. However, they align with Insta360’s recent increase in official teaser activity.

What We Already Know About the Luna Ultra

We have been closely following the Luna series since its first preview at NAB 2026. Here’s a quick recap of the key details:

  • Luna Ultra features a dual-lens system (1-inch main sensor + telephoto lens) co-engineered with Leica.
  • It supports 10-bit I-Log and Dolby Vision — a first for Insta360 in this form factor.
  • The camera includes a mechanical 3-axis gimbal + FlowState stabilization.
  • A detachable OLED touchscreen that can also function as a wireless remote is expected.
  • The Luna Pro is the more affordable single-lens version.

For full detailed specifications, check our earlier article:

In our previous report published on June 1, we noted that the global pre-order button was expected to drop in the first half of June 2026, with shipping starting mid-to-late June. The current June 18 rumor fits well within that window.

Read our previous update here:

Insta360 Luna Ultra US Launch Imminent in June 2026

Bottom Line

While nothing is officially confirmed yet, all signs point toward a mid-June 2026 global launch, with June 18 emerging as the strongest rumored date right now — including for the United States.

Insta360 appears to be timing the launch to compete directly with DJI’s upcoming Pocket 4 Pro. The addition of the POV Head Tracker accessory and Leica co-engineered optics makes the Luna Ultra one of the most anticipated pocket cameras of 2026. We will update this article as soon as Insta360 makes an official announcement.

DJI Pocket 4 Pro White Colour Hands-On: What American Buyers Should Know

DJI Pocket 4 PRO Unboxing

DJI Pocket 4 Pro White Colour Hands-On: What American Buyers Should Know

Finally, we have the white version of the DJI Pocket 4 Pro camera, which was quite an unexpected move from DJI. Before the Pocket 4 series, Pocket gimbal cameras were generally available in black, with no additional body colour options. This is the first time we are seeing the Pocket 4/Pocket 4 Pro available in white.

While most of the early coverage has focused on the standard black model, the white edition has a clean, almost premium feel. The body, gimbal, and controls are finished in a soft creamy white with red accents on the record button. It stands out in a good way — less “tech gadget” and more like something you’d actually enjoy carrying around.

That said, it does show fingerprints and dust, scratches and more… easily than the black version, which is something to keep in mind if you’re rough with your gear.

The Real Upgrade: Dual Cameras + 3x Optical Zoom

The biggest reason to consider the Pocket 4 Pro over the regular Pocket 4 is the hardware. This version comes with a dual-camera setup – a 1-inch main sensor paired with a dedicated 3x optical telephoto lens.

For anyone who shoots interviews, talking-head videos, or wants that nice background compression without losing quality, the optical zoom makes a noticeable difference. The dynamic range is also improved (up to 17 stops with D-Log 2), which gives you more flexibility when grading footage later.

The Big Problem for US Buyers

We all know that DJI is facing some unexpected hurdles. So, here’s the part that actually matters most if you’re in the United States:

As of June 2026, the DJI Pocket 4 Pro is still not officially available in the US.

DJI Pocket 4 and 4P received  FCC approval (before Dec 25), but later, it seems that the last-minute FCC approvals have been revoked. And DJI also issued relevant statement related to it,

DJI’s most repeated and current official statement regarding the Osmo Pocket 4 and Pocket 4 Pro is:

“The Osmo Pocket 4 will not be available in the U.S. market at launch due to pending FCC authorisation.”

This statement has been quoted by media outlets (including The Verge) and remains unchanged as of June 2026.

So you won’t find it at B&H, Adorama, or on Amazon US through official channels. The only way to get one right now is through grey market sellers – usually imported from Europe or Asia.

This means:

  • No official US warranty
  • Limited or no customer support from DJI
  • You’re taking on some risk with the purchase

But wait, there is a hope. We have the Xtra Muse 2 PRO Coming Soon, and it almost features the same core specs and body design as the pocket 4 PRO, which will soon become available in the USA just after the pocket 4 PRO announcement.

So… Should You Buy the White Pocket 4 Pro?

It depends on what you need. If you really want the 3x optical zoom and better dynamic range for more cinematic or interview-style work, with a dual camera setup. Either you can wait for Xtra Muse 2 pro, or you can wait for Luna Ultra from Insta360. As per the initial report, we have the Xtramuse 2 PRO uses almost the same hardware configuration as the DJI Pocket 4 PRO, with a slightly different design and position of the display. Other than that, it also supports the DJI ECO  System.

And finally, if you’re okay with buying grey market, then the white Pocket 4 Pro is genuinely nice. The color gives it a fresh look that feels different from most other pocket cameras out there.
