Sony FX3 II Targeted Before September 2026 Following Latest China Registration

Sony FX3 II

We were waiting for as much confirmation as we could get over this topic, and now we can confirm and say that yes, the Sony FX3 Mark II is in the announcement pipeline and from the multiple sources, the information that we have received has been summarized in this article. The Sony FX3 is one of the most popular consumer-level filmmakers’ cameras for those who want to have an excellent filming tool without spending a fortune on the CineAlta Series.

Now coming back to the point, new regulatory filings which are straight coming out from China show that Sony has registered a new FX-series model, which is widely believed to be the long-rumored Sony FX3 Mark II, so this does guarantee that yes, FX3 Mark II camera is in the announcement pipeline and once the camera is registered with a regulatory agency, more or less within the next three months, that is on or before September 2026, we will have the announcement of the FX3 Mark II camera if everything goes on schedule.

Shanghai Suoguang (Suoguang Visual Products Co., Ltd.): Exact match. This is the Shanghai manufacturing/registration entity. On April 24, 2026, they registered the ILME-FX* model. They (together with the Wuxi factory) account for the two newest registrations. The earlier A7R VI (ILCE-7RM6 / WW847606) was registered in February 2026 by Japan Sony Corp. So “Soso has now only registered two products” (the April pair) is accurate in context.

Registration Details Leak that made us believe it’s the FX3 II Camera

ILME-FX new model, made in Shanghai by Soguang/Suoguang, WW679476 (or WW679475 in some reports)**: Confirmed. This is the key registration. The ILME- prefix + FX is the standard Sony coding for Cinema Line full-frame models (FX3 was ILME-FX3, FX6 was ILME-FX6, etc.). It has Wi-Fi 6 support. Widely and consistently rumored to be the Sony FX3 II / FX3 successor.

Key Registration Details

According to reports from multiple sources tracking Chinese certifications (CMIIT and related databases):

Model Code Factory Connectivity Likely Identity Registration Date
ILME-FX* Shanghai Suoguang Wi-Fi 6 FX3 II April 24, 2026
******* Sony Wuxi Standard Entry-level / ZV / RX April 24, 2026
ILCE-7RM6 Japan Sony Wi-Fi 6 A7R VI February 2026

The ILME-FX* prefix is reserved for Sony’s Cinema Line cameras. Combined with the Shanghai manufacturing location and Wi-Fi 6 support, this strongly points to a direct successor to the original FX3 rather than an entirely new model in the lineup.

FX3 II Expected to Retain Compact Form Factor

The early indications that we are getting from the registration details is the compact FX3 Cinema Camera will follow the same run-and-gun philosophy that has been followed since the announcement of the original FX3, which was announced back in 2021. Obviously, just after the announcement, the FX3 series has become one of the most popular series among solo filmmakers for shooting documentaries and commercial projects on a budget. Early indications suggest the new camera will follow the same compact, run-and-gun philosophy that made the original FX3 (2021) a favourite among solo filmmakers, documentary crews, and hybrid shooters.

Battery and Charging

According to the latest registration details, the ILME-FX* model (WW679476) is listed with Sony’s newer NP-SA100 battery – the same higher-capacity battery first introduced with the A7R VI. This marks the first time the NP-SA100 has appeared in a Cinema Line camera registration.

In contrast, the second newly registered model (E-Mount *****, WW721795) continues to use the existing NP-FZ100 battery, along with a lower-power 7.5W charger.

The ILME-FX* registration also indicates support for 30W USB-C Power Delivery charging, which is consistent with the higher-capacity NP-SA100 battery. This suggests Sony may introduce updated charging accessories alongside the new camera.

While the adoption of the NP-SA100 battery should deliver improved runtime, it also raises questions about compatibility with existing FX3 batteries, chargers, and accessories. We expect Sony to clarify this at the time of the official announcement.

FX3 II or FX4? Naming Debate

Recent social media discussion has included speculation about whether Sony might call the new camera FX4 instead of FX3 II.

And this has been started by one of the most trusted sources, Camera Insider, the Twitter account, but what I personally believe here, that is my personal take, that Sony will follow up the regular naming convention, and after Sony FX3, we will have the FX3 Mark II model. If Sony announces the Sony FX4, it will be a step-up model than the FX3 series. And yes, the probability does exist about the appearance of the FX4, since we do have the FX2 announcement in the past, and if Sony wants to continue to explore the possibilities about the expansion of the Sony FX series, then yes, the FX4 does have a strong chance here.

How This Fits Sony’s 2026 Camera Roadmap

Sony has been unusually active with certifications in 2026:

  • February 2026: A7R VI (ILCE-7RM6) registered
  • April 24, 2026: ILME-FX* + entry-level model registered

This suggests Sony is preparing multiple launches throughout 2026. The FX3 II is currently tipped for a possible announcement window around August 2026 (ahead of IBC), though this remains speculative.

What We Still Don’t Know

  • Exact sensor specifications (rumors of a partially stacked sensor for faster readout have circulated but are unconfirmed)
  • Internal recording formats and frame rate capabilities
  • Viewfinder or LCD upgrades
  • Pricing and availability (India/US)

Current FX3 Still Excellent – But Update Is Welcome

The original Sony FX3 remains one of the best compact full-frame cinema cameras available in 2026. The price of the camera is around $4298 at Amazon.com, and only a few units are left in stock. . However, after more than four years on the market, an update addressing rolling shutter, autofocus performance in video, and modern connectivity (Wi-Fi 6, better streaming options) would be very well received.

Bottom Line

Yes, we do need an FX3 II update. The ILME-FX* registration by Shanghai Suoguang is the strongest official signal yet that a new compact Cinema Line camera – almost certainly the FX3 II – is in development. While we don’t have full specifications yet, the manufacturing location, model prefix, and connectivity details align perfectly with expectations for an FX3 successor.

We’ll continue monitoring regulatory filings and credible sources for more details. As always, take all pre-announcement information with the usual grain of salt.

DJI Pocket 3 Latest Deals and Discounts – Best Prices for US Buyers (June 2026)

DJI pocket 3 deal main image

DJI Pocket 3 camera major deals are going on at Amazon USA website, and if you are in the United States of America, then obviously June 2026 does have a lot to offer if you’re planning to buy a pocket gimbal camera at an affordable price, and since Amazon right now is running Father’s Day deals and after June 21, we have another set of Prime day deals coming in, so we will be updating this page regularly to make sure you have the best pricing possible of the DJI Pocket 3 camera.

The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 remains one of the best pocket-sized vlogging cameras available in 2026, under budget. With its 1-inch CMOS sensor, buttery-smooth 3-axis gimbal, 4K/120fps video, and intelligent ActiveTrack, it delivers pro-level footage without the bulk of a traditional camera rig.

Current Best Deals on Amazon.com (as of June 19, 2026)

  • Current pricing: Recently as low as $419–$485 (strong discounts from typical ~$499 pricing)

Recommendation for US buyers: Go with the Creator Combo unless you already own good wireless mics. The included DJI Mic makes a massive difference for clear voiceover and interview audio.

Pocket 3 is highly recommended for anyone, those who loves to do vlogging stuff and wants to have a pocket gimbal camera from DJI. The best part is that Pocket 3 is the 3rd generation of the Pocket series gimbal camera from DJI, and available at a budget range. The most important piece of advice is do not save your money in purchasing the standalone version of the vlogging camera. The best thing is to purchase the Creator Combo, where you are getting a microphone which will help you to get clear voice input, and obviously, which is one of the important things for a content creator to have clear audio.

Why the Osmo Pocket 3 Still Dominates in 2026

When DJI launched the Osmo Pocket 3 in late 2023, it quickly became the gold standard for solo content creation. In fact, in several Asian markets, the Pocket 3 reportedly captured over 50% of video camera sales in its category during peak periods — a level of dominance few cameras achieve. Even today, it remains one of the most recommended cameras for creators who want cinematic results without carrying a full rig.

  • 1-inch CMOS sensor — Excellent detail and low-light performance (far better than most phone or action cameras)
  • 4K/120fps + 3-axis mechanical gimbal — Cinematic, shake-free footage straight out of camera
  • ActiveTrack 4.0 — Smart face/object tracking that actually works reliably
  • Rotatable touchscreen — Designed for vloggers (flip it for perfect selfie framing)
  • Pocket-sized portability — Take it on every US road trip, national park visit, or city adventure without thinking twice
  • Long battery life + easy expansion in the Combo

Bottom Line

These are some of the best prices we’ve seen on the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 in months. With Prime Day coming soon, now is a smart time to buy if you’ve been waiting.

Viltrox Toy Camera Surfaces - But It’s Not the Camera You’re Thinking Of

viltrox toy camera img

We are waiting for the Viltrox mirrorless camera. Still, today, what we have seen in a Weibo post is really surprising: a small yellow plastic camera labelled “Viltrox Toy Camera” has started circulating on Chinese social media. Which is shared by the Weibo account, the photos show a compact device inside a yellow box, complete with retro-style stripes and the marking “1839”.

At first glance, it looks like the long-rumoured Viltrox camera might have finally appeared. However, a closer look suggests otherwise.

It’s a toy and not officially confirmed by Viltrox itself; it looks very much like the Kodak Keychain Camera, which is ultra-popular among Gen Z and newbie bloggers.

What Exactly Is Shown in the Images?

As you can see, the camera is incredible, small, and for sure, this is not made for professional photographers or the rumoured L/Z Mount mirror camera that we are seeing right now.

The Kokdal Keychain-style camera from Viltrox, which we have mentioned above, features a fixed lens, a basic viewfinder, and a simple flash unit on the side. The design has a playful, retro aesthetic with horizontal bands in yellow, blue, and beige.

No Official Word from Viltrox

Maybe these are some early pictures of the upcoming Viltrox tiny kids camera, but for now, we have checked all the official media pages of the lens maker, and we are not able to find any authentic set of information that tells us that Viltrox has officially entered the camera business with this tiny compact camera.

The company has been actively releasing new autofocus lenses (including recent EVO series models) and accessories like flashes, but there has been no indication of a camera body — toy or otherwise — entering production.

How Does This Relate to Existing Viltrox Camera Rumours?

We do have very strong rumours related to the development of the Viltrox Mirrorless camera. This news and information have been floating around for months. The latest speculation, reported earlier this month, suggested a possible Nikon Z-mount model. At the beginning, we got strong hints related to the development of L-Mount-based Mirrorless camera from Viltrox, so its all Chaos for now in the rumour world. All these claims, however, remain unconfirmed and are based largely on forum discussions and a Chinese patent filing.

In the past, Viltrox has clarified that it is focused on lenses and camera accessories rather than manufacturing camera bodies itself.

For now, any actual Viltrox camera body remains speculative. We’ll continue monitoring for credible updates from official sources.

DJI Pocket 4 PRO Not Available in the USA? XTRA MUSE 2 PRO Early Access Opens Today

Viltrox Mirrorless Camera Rumors – Latest Updates

DJI Pocket 4 PRO Not Available in the USA? XTRA MUSE 2 PRO Early Access Opens Today

XTRA has finally opened Early Access to the MUSE 2 PRO gimbal camera to those who are specifically waiting for the DJI Pocket 4 Pro camera announcement in the United States of America. As we all know, DJI is facing some sort of ban issues for drones and all that stuff, and despite having the FCC certification for their products (specifically, we are talking about pocket 4p and pocket 4), they are not able to make it to the United States of America. But now we do have a solid option, a solid option and a true alternative to the DJI Pocket 4 Pro camera, which is available for pre-order, and the surprising factor is that the overall cost of the DJI Pocket 4 Pro alternative is less than the recently announced Insta360 Luna Pro.

How to Pre-Book Your Xtra  MUSE 2 PRO Camera

XTRA has officially opened Early Access for its upcoming MUSE 2 PRO dual-lens pocket gimbal camera. The brand is offering early supporters a $20 refundable deposit in exchange for a $60 launch coupon and free Priority Express Shipping in the US.

The Early Access Deal

XTRA is running a limited Early Access program with the following benefits:

  • $20 refundable deposit$60 Launch Day Coupon
  • Free Priority Express Shipping (US mainland)
  • Only 10,000 spots available

This is not a full pre-order. You’ll still need to complete the purchase after launch using the coupon. The deposit remains fully refundable if you change your mind before using the coupon.

Why This Matters: DJI Pocket 4 Pro Availability Issues

The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pro was expected to be a major upgrade with its dual-lens design (1-inch sensor + 3x zoom). However, like several recent DJI products, it has not received full clearance for official sales in the United States.

Many American creators are now stuck choosing between:

  • Grey market imports (with warranty and customs risks)
  • Sticking with the older Pocket 3
  • Looking for new alternatives

This is exactly where XTRA is positioning the MUSE 2 PRO.

XTRA MUSE 2 PRO Key Specifications

  • Dual-lens system: 1-inch CMOS main sensor + dedicated 3x optical zoom module
  • Video: 4K up to 120fps (some reports suggest 4K/240fps slow-motion capability)
  • Color & Dynamic Range: 10-bit X-Log profile with up to 14–17 stops of dynamic range
  • Storage: 103–128GB internal storage
  • Stabilization: 3-axis mechanical gimbal
  • Screen: 2-inch rotatable/flip OLED touchscreen
  • Other features: Subject tracking, fast autofocus, compact pocketable design (~180g)

Xtra Muse 2 PRO Price 

XTRA has not officially confirmed the final price, but the Instagram announcement mentioned it will start at “just $6XX”. Based on current market positioning and community speculation, $649 appears to be the most likely launch price for the standalone unit.

Here’s how it compares:

Camera Expected / Current Price Effective Price with XTRA Coupon Notes
XTRA MUSE 2 PRO ~$649 ~$589 Expected price
Insta360 Luna Ultra $769 Currently available
DJI Pocket 4 Pro Grey market (~$700+) US availability uncertain

Final Verdict

The XTRA MUSE 2 PRO is shaping up to be one of the more credible alternatives to the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pro, especially for creators in the United States who are struggling with availability. At an expected price of around $649 (and potentially lower with the Early Access coupon), it offers strong value on paper — particularly with its large internal storage and dual-lens design.

Whether it can match DJI’s software polish and ecosystem remains to be seen. For now, the $20 deposit looks like a low-risk way to secure better pricing if you’re interested in this category.

Xtra Muse 2 Pro Night Footage Teaser Drops: 17-Stop Dynamic Range & 10-bit X-Log Confirmed

 

Xtra Muse 2 Pro Night Footage Teaser Drops: 17-Stop Dynamic Range & 10-bit X-Log Confirmed

 

So, finally, we have a new teaser from XTRA showcasing the real video quality of the upcoming XTRA MUSE 2 PRO. And not only that, the major specs of the camera have also been revealed in this teaser, so let’s discuss the set of available and updated information about the upcoming XTRA MUSE 2 PRO.

Xtra has just dropped a fresh teaser reel showcasing the XTRA MUSE 2 PRO test unit – and it’s the clearest look yet at what the upcoming pocket gimbal camera can do.

The post was initially surfaced on @xtratech_official on June 11. The short cinematic reel focuses heavily on night and low-light performance while highlighting several high-end features that position the Muse 2 Pro as a serious alternative to the unreleased DJI Osmo Pocket 4P in the US market.

Muse 2 PRO sample

Xtra MUSE 2 PRO Confirmed Core Specification

  • 1-inch CMOS sensor
  • 3X / 70mm  dedicated focal Length based Lens
  • 10-bit X-Log 3 color profile
  • 17-stop dynamic range (one of the biggest talking points in the comments)
  • Strong night/low-light footage performance
  • 103GB internal storage

So all these specifications that you have seen of the upcoming Muse 2 Pro camera, and all these aspects, are confirmed. The most interesting part is the footage that we have seen from the camera, which is also very impressive. So overall, it will be a very tough competitor for the existing Insta360 Luna Ultra camera in the United States of America.

The reel shows smooth gimbal movement in dark conditions with clean detail and controlled noise — exactly the kind of real-world demonstration creators have been waiting for.

Xtra itself calls it “an extra choice” worth keeping an eye on in the crowded pocket camera space.

Latest Launch Timeline (June 2026 Update)

According to Xtra’s previous official communications and recent updates:

  • US launch window: Summer 2026 (most likely mid-to-late July)
  • Creator selection program reportedly begins around June 15, and many of the creators have already been selected
  • Highest chance for official announcement and pre-orders: late June to early July 2026
  • Shipping to customers is expected shortly after pre-orders open

The Muse 2 Pro is expected to feature a 1-inch CMOS sensor, 3-axis mechanical gimbal, ActiveTrack 7.0, rotatable/flip touchscreen (with improved dual-side functionality), and significantly higher internal storage than the current Muse.

Why This Matters

We all know that the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 / 4P series remains limited in official US availability. Xtra (a US-registered brand) continues to fill the gap for DJI loyal customers who are eagerly waiting for the POCKET 4 PRO, with very similar hardware at potentially more accessible pricing and faster local availability.

The original Xtra Muse already received a major firmware update earlier this year that added direct Bluetooth support for DJI Mic Mini and Mic 2, so now the DJI ECO system supports the Xtra Muse Gimbal cameras, including the upcoming Muse 2 PRO

Would you pick the Xtra Muse 2 Pro over waiting for the DJI Pocket 4P (if/when it becomes widely available in the US)? Let us know in the comments.

DJI Pocket 4P Launches in China Today – What It Means for US Buyers

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

DJI Pocket 4 Pro in the USA - How People Are Actually Getting It Right Now

Well, the New DJI Pocket 4 Pro has been announced globally on June 15, 2026. And yes, some of our subscribers are using review units, and they are highly impressed with the camera. Although it’s not available there for pre-order yet, we have collected a bunch of information on how people are getting the DJI Pocket 4p or PRO camera in the USA.

But if you’re in the United States, you won’t find it on DJI’s site, B&H, Amazon, or anywhere official. So what’s the actual situation, and how are people getting their hands on it?

The Real Story on US Availability

We do know that the pocket 4 and 4p did receive FCC certification before the Dec 25 ban, but as per the latest press information, DJI says the camera isn’t available in the US because of “pending authorization.” A lot of people assumed it was banned, but that’s not really accurate.

First of all the authorization status has been shifted to pending from approved, which means its un indecision state. The Ban was initially added to drones but newly launched non-drone products are also waiting for approval despite clearing the FCC test.

Important part: For personal use, importing one (or up to three) units is allowed under FCC rules. It’s not considered contraband for regular people bringing it in for themselves. The drone-related bans and Covered List stuff don’t apply the same way to this camera.

How People Are Buying It

Here are the methods that are actually working right now, based on recent user reports. You can pre-book / pre-order or buy DJI Pocket 4 and DJI Pocket 4 PRO units in USA in the following ways:

  1. Canada Route (Easiest for many people)

A lot of folks who live near the border are just driving up to Canada, buying it from stores like Henry’s, and bringing it back. One user said they had zero issues at the border – As they say, the agents barely checked anything. Some people are even activating DJI Care Refresh while they’re still in Canada.

  1. Ordering from UK Retailers

One person ordered the Creator Combo from a UK shop (heliguy) and had it in the US in just over 2 days using FedEx. They prepaid all the shipping and duties upfront, so it cleared customs smoothly. It was more expensive, but it worked without any problems with setup or firmware updates.

  1. eBay and International Sellers

People are also buying from sellers in South Korea and Europe on eBay. Several users have reported that the camera activates normally in the US, firmware updates work fine, and they’re using it without any issues.

  1. Friends/Family or Forwarding Services

Some are having people abroad buy it and ship it, or using package forwarding services.

What’s It Like Using It in the US?

From what people are saying:

  • Set up works normally with a regular US DJI account.
  • Firmware updates go through fine.
  • No VPN needed in most recent cases.
  • The camera behaves exactly like it should.

The main downside everyone mentions is warranty. You probably won’t get official US warranty support on these imported units, and DJI Care Refresh can be hit or miss depending on how you activate it.

Should You Import One?

If you really want the DJI dual-lens 3x zoom version right now and you’re okay with the warranty situation, then yes – people are successfully doing it. The risk for a single personal unit seems very low.

xtra muse 2 pro new design image

You Can Wait for Xtra Muse 2 PRO

If you can wait, some are holding out to see if DJI eventually releases it properly in the US or if an “Xtra” rebranded version shows up with local warranty support. In the meantime, the regular Pocket 3 is still excellent and easy to buy in the US.

Final Recommendation

The Pocket 4 Pro isn’t officially sold in America yet, but it’s not banned either. Plenty of people are already importing it through Canada, UK shops, or eBay and using it without major headaches. Just go in knowing that warranty support will be limited.

If you are still in a dilemma, then the best part is to wait for Xtra Muse 2 PRO. The announcement of the camera is expected in late June and Early July, and the shipping of the camera is expected to start as early as mid of July 2026.

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

Xtra Muse 2 Pro: When Is It Actually Launching?

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.

insta360 founder

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.
