As of September 2026, the DJI Mini 5 Pro is still leading the Amazon USA sales charts, but what about the Mini 6 Pro? The current compact flagship is still the Mini 5 Pro, launched 17 September 2025.
The Mini 5 Pro already changed the under-250g class with a 1-inch sensor, forward LiDAR, and Nightscape omnidirectional obstacle sensing. So the obvious next question is simple:
Over the past few weeks, we have been getting a lotof queries about the Mini 6 Pro, and September has arrived, so the number of queries is getting much higher. So, we have decided to post an update that will clarify the situation and the arrival time of the Mini 6 Pro.
What follows is not a leak. It is DJI’s own Mini Pro cadence, plus the price band that rumours and last-gen pricing make realistic.
Before we discuss anything further, let’s put our focus on the DJI Mini 6 Pro arrival date. And the Update pattern of the Mini PRO series
DJI Mini 6 Pro Arrival date
DJI does not refresh the Mini Pro line every year.
Model
Launch
Gap from previous Pro
Mini 3 Pro
10 May 2022
—
Mini 4 Pro
25 September 2023
16 months
Mini 5 Pro
17 September 2025
24 months
Mini 4 Pro and Mini 5 Pro both landed in late September. That is DJI’s usual Mini Pro window.
The Mini 5 Pro is only about a year old. A successor this autumn would be a one-year turn. That is faster than the last gap.
Most consistent window: September 2027
That repeats the two-year Mini 4 Pro → Mini 5 Pro gap and keeps the September slot.
Earliest window that still fits internally: early 2027 That would match the shorter 16-month Mini 3 Pro → Mini 4 Pro gap.
DJI already used 2026’s lightweight slot on Lito 1 and Lito X1 in April. IFA Berlin in early September 2026 showed the existing Mini 5 Pro, not a new Mini Pro.
So the honest date line is: not announced, not due this month, most likely autumn 2027, earliest plausible early 2027.
DJI Mini 6 Pro Price
There is no Mini 6 Pro MSRP. Anchor on Mini 5 Pro, then apply the rumor premium.
Mini 5 Pro launched around €799 / £679, with a widely cited US-equivalent band near $759. Fly More and screen-controller bundles cost more. By late 2026 some marketplace listings had the current kit discounted into the high $600s.
Early Mini 6 Pro rumor videos often quoted:
$999–$1,099 for a standard kit
Fly More / RC bundles from about $1,129 up to $1,699–$1,899 on the high end
Those are estimates. DJI’s habit is more conservative: hold the headline Mini Pro price close to the last generation, and take margin in the combo.
A realistic planning range:
Kit
Planning range
Standard (drone + basic remote)
$799–$999 / €799–€999
Fly More with extra batteries
$1,099–$1,399
Fly More with screen remote
$1,299–$1,599
If the next model is mostly a refined Mini 5 Pro, expect pricing near today’s flagship. If it really adds a stacked 1-inch sensor, variable aperture, and a new radio, about $999 for the base kit is the rumor figure that makes the most sense.
US street price is a separate issue. Newer DJI products have faced limited official US availability, and a 25% tariff on imported consumer drones took effect 3 September 2026. A global $999 sticker can become materially higher — or unofficial — in the US.
Should you wait?
Wait if you do not need a drone for another year and you specifically want the next sensor or radio generation. And if ur in the US, as we know, the Mini 6 Pro won’t get FCC certification due to the Ban issue. So, Get your Mini 5 Pro asap. Mini 5 Pro already has the 1-inch camera and LiDAR. On DJI’s clock, it still has a normal year left as the Mini Pro flagship.

For 360 content creators in the United States of America, that’s the biggest question right now. Will the DJI Osmo 360 Mark II become available in the United States of America? Yes, we have seen the camera listed on US online retail websites, which has been described below in the latter part of the article, but wait, you should not take quick action to buy it. We never encourage you to buy an early listing that generally appears randomly. The best thing is that you should wait, and we are going to confirm in our post that the camera has arrived with its proper pricing, but before that, the camera is real, and the sale has already started in China, starting from August 13, 2026. In Japan, it has been stated that the camera will be available from September 2, 2026, and DJI’s own teaser has been locked to September 3, 2026, 7 AM Eastern Standard Time, which gives us very clear information that after the first week of September, the camera will become widely available across the globe.
If you are sitting in the United States right now, this is the only question that matters: can you actually check out an Osmo 360 II on a US website, and if not, should you just buy the Insta360 X6?
The camera is real. China has been selling it since 13 August 2026. Japan is dated 2 September. DJI’s own teaser is locked to 3 September 2026, 7:00 AM Eastern. What is still missing is an official US dollar price and a DJI Store US product page. Amazon has a listing. It is not DJI’s price.
That empty American page is not the same story as Pocket 4 / Pocket 4P. Those cameras never got an FCC grant. This one did.
OSMO 360 II US Status Tonight — One Table
Question
Answer as of 30 August 2026
B&H / Adorama official listing
Soon to Become Available
FCC authorization
Yes — FCC ID 2ANDR-OQ0022512, granted 21 Dec 2025
Legal to import / sell a previously authorized model?
Covered List blocks new grants, not this one
Will DJI put it on store.dji.com/us on 3 Sep?
Unknown. That is the whole article

DJI OSMO 360 II FCC Granted Before DJI 2025 Ban- Why This Camera Is Different From Pocket 4
A lot of US readers are mixing two DJI problems into one sentence. Separate them.
Problem A — Covered List (22 December 2025) The FCC put DJI on the Covered List. After that date, new equipment authorizations for DJI radios are frozen. That is why Osmo Pocket 4, Pocket 4P, Osmo Mobile 8P, Lito, and Mic Mini 2S never got a normal US launch.
Problem B — this specific camera The Osmo 360 II grant is dated 21 December 2025. That is one day before the cutoff. FCC ID 2ANDR-OQ0022512, filed to SZ DJI Osmo Technology Co., Ltd. Previously authorized models can still be imported and sold. DJI is allowed to sell this camera in America. They have simply not listed it.
So if 3 September comes and goes with no US SKU, that is a business decision, not an FCC lock. Same pattern as the first Osmo 360 in July 2025: DJI skipped its own US store, and B&H / Adorama / later Amazon filled the gap at $549.99 Standard / $699.99 Adventure.
Watch those three retailers on Wednesday morning, not only store.dji.com.
Yes, the DJI OSMO 360 II is listed at AMAZON.COM for USA buyers, but wait this is not the real price you have to pay.
Amazon US is indexing a page titled DJI Osmo 360 II Standard Combo. The spec line is real II language: 8K/60, AI SuperNight 2.0, 105GB, 2150mAh. So this is not a mislabeled gen-1 body.

$1,999 is about 4× the China price and about 3.5× what Gen 1 listed for in America ($549.99). If DJI follows the same spread as last year, a real US Standard Combo lands near $499–$549, not two thousand dollars.
This is the same first-print trick we already tracked on thenewcamera.com for the Osmo Pocket 4P.
We flagged the first Amazon US listings on 29 July — third-party stock, not DJI. Opening asks sat near $980 for the Standard Combo and $1,290–$1,390 for the Vlog Combo. By 16 August those same Amazon US pages had dropped to $663.21 Standard and $767.31 Vlog. That drop is on our own pages:
The $980 number was never DJI’s US price. It was the opening gray-market ask, and it did not hold. $1,999 on the Osmo 360 II tonight is that same first print.
Expect the 360 II page to run the same three steps:
First listing = high ($1,999 tonight).
More sellers pile on → the number walks down.
If DJI, Amazon, B&H or Adorama post an official SKU after the 3 Sep, 7 AM Eastern teaser, the $1,999 listing dies overnight.
One extra reason a drop is more likely here than on Pocket 4P: the 360 II already has an FCC grant. Pocket 4P never did, so it could only get cheaper through importers. This camera can get cheaper and get a real US store button.
Do not buy the Raywego listing. Screenshot it, date it, wait. We will update this same page when the number moves. If Wednesday morning still has no official SKU, the cleaner US checkout remains the Insta360 X6 at $699.99.
Expected US Price (Dollars)
DJI has not typed a USD MSRP. The honest way to estimate it is the published Asia prices plus what gen 1 actually sold for in the US.

If DJI repeats the gen-1 playbook, Americans will not get the China $460 number. They will get something closer to $549 on a US invoice.
Gray-market Standard Combos are already floating near $685–$699 shipped from China. That is a bad deal. You pay X6 money, lose DJI Care, and still wait on a package. Do not do that this week.

If 7 AM Eastern on 3 September produces a US price, this page gets an update the same hour. If it only produces another international store and another 404 in America, that is also an answer.
Buy the Insta360 X6 today if:
You need the camera in hand this week
You want a US retailer, US returns, and a warranty you can call
20m waterproofing and the bigger battery matter more than 8K60
Do not buy:
The Amazon $1,999 Raywego listing — that is a third-party page, not DJI’s US price
First-gen Osmo 360 at full $549 unless it is heavily discounted — the II fixes the scratched-lens problem
China-ship eBay “Osmo 360 II Standard Combo” at $680–$800 — that is X6 money with none of the US protections
Do not assume DJI Care / warranty on a gray-market body. Gen 1 already taught that lesson.
Bottom Line for US Buyers
The Osmo 360 II is not banned from America. It cleared the FCC one day before the door shut. DJI has still not given US buyers an official price. The only Amazon button tonight is a $1,999 third-party listing. That is not the number to write about as “US price.”
3 September, 7:00 AM Eastern is the date. Until that hour, the only flagship 360 camera an American can order without drama is the Insta360 X6 at $699.99.
We will update this page the moment B&H, Adorama, Amazon, or store.dji.com/us posts a dollar price.

The second wave of the ban is coming, and we have created a list of drones that are going to be banned soon and a list of drones that will remain active in American airspace, and you can buy them whenever you want to for now, at least based on the rules. Since back from the December ban, we know that new drones of DJI are not allowed to be sold in the United States of America. Not only that, with the latest development that happened back in July, they have updated the military drone specifications, and in that, they have added LiDAR, and due to that specific addition, a lot of consumer drones, including the budget drone like Neo 2, have also been added to the Covered List. So, we have created a complete list of drones that are going to be banned soon by the United States of America and the list of those that will remain available even after the second wave of the ban that is about to happen after September 2026.
Public comments close on September 2, 2026. After that, the FCC will decide whether to adopt the restrictions.
What Exactly Is the FCC Proposing?
In Public Notice DA 26-758, the FCC is seeking to prohibit the continued importation and marketing of previously authorized foreign-made drones that fall into these categories:
To simplify it, we have added the entire list of updates in the table below, so you have a clear idea of when the public comment period will be called off. Specifically, the date is September 2, and after, obviously, the FCC will put a ban that will take a bit of time to make it properly effective at the ground level.

DJI Drones Likely to Be Restricted / Banned from Further Sale
Now here is the MOST IMPORTANT PART – List of drones that are about to be BANNED SOON
If the proposal is adopted as written, these models are at highest risk of no longer being sold new in the US:
Consumer & Prosumer Models with LiDAR
DJI Air 3S
DJI Mini 5 Pro
DJI Avata 360
DJI Neo 2
DJI Mavic 4 Pro
Thermal Models
DJI Mavic 3 Thermal / Mavic 3T
Matrice 30T series
Matrice 4T / Matrice 4TD
Docking Systems
DJI Dock, Dock 2, and Dock 3 (along with compatible Matrice aircraft)
Agricultural & Heavy Models
Agras series (T25, T40, T50, etc.)
FlyCart series
Larger Matrice platforms that meet weight or sensor criteria
DJI Drones More Likely to Remain Available
These models do not currently fall under the main restricted categories (no LiDAR, no thermal, under 55 lb, no docking or spraying):
DJI Mini 4 Pro
DJI Mini 4K
DJI Air 3 (original non-S version)
DJI Mavic 3 / Mavic 3 Classic / Mavic 3 Cine / non-thermal Mavic 3 Pro
DJI Flip
Original DJI Neo
Older Mini 3 and Mini 3 Pro series
Pre-LiDAR models still in stock (such as Air 2S)
What This Means for Current Owners
You can continue flying any DJI drone you already own.
Firmware and security updates for previously authorized models remain allowed (currently through at least January 2029).
Private second-hand sales stay legal.
Official spare parts and service for restricted models may become harder to obtain over time.
Buying Advice Right Now
The only buying advice I would like to give the readers at this moment is that if your business depends on drones, specifically those that are on the list that are going to be banned soon, and by business, I mean anything—either you are a wedding photographer or a cinematographer who would love to add high-quality, stabilized aerial shots to your project, as well as if you are a content creator who loves to capture themselves with a drone, specifically their recently announced To Capture, a creator-on-the-go with gesture controls only. So, technically, if your workflow is in any way associated with drones, and if they become unavailable or your existing drones may get disabled for any reason, then the entire workflow of your business/content creation will be deeply affected. So, the best thing is to have a backup. Have a proper backup of parts; have a proper backup of different units of drones. Otherwise, it would be a big mess.
The FCC proposal represents a serious escalation. Many of DJI’s most capable current models face a real risk of being cut off from new sales in the US market. At the same time, several solid and popular models without the restricted features should remain available while existing inventory lasts.
The comment window closes on September 2, 2026. After that, the FCC will make its decision. Until a final order is issued, the situation remains fluid.
We will update this article as soon as the FCC announces its final decision.

A few days ago, a bunch of new images surfaced on the web; these two unreleased DJI action cameras are said to be the Osmo Nano 2 and Osmo Action 7. They started circulating online on social media platforms and Reddit. Let’s explore and break down the information we have about these upcoming cameras, the source of the photos, and how credible this information is.
In this article, we break down everything currently known: the source of the photos, their credibility, expected launch windows, and what the community hopes to see in both cameras.

The Leak: First Photos of Osmo Nano 2 and Action 7
Lets break down everything as we know, ist all started on August 11, 2026, Portuguese drone account @D2Help (Xdrones Studio) posted the earliest public photos under the caption “Testes DJI Nano 2”. Four days later, on August 15, a Reddit post on r/dji titled “DJI Nano 2 & Action 7 first leaked photos” shared the same set of images and brought wider attention in English-speaking communities.
DJI Action 7 Image on Extreme Right
These are the first credible field-test images of both cameras that have publicly surfaced. same images / pictures being circulated on web at different platforms and different dates.
The photos show both devices being used outdoors in real testing conditions. They are clearly prototype units rather than finished retail products – no packaging, no polished studio shots, and no clear branding close-ups are visible.

Action 7 follows a relatively predictable pattern. Action 6 launched in mid-November 2025. Based on DJI’s recent action camera cycle (roughly 11–13 months), October or November 2026 remains the most commonly projected window. Some earlier speculation suggested a possible September release due to competitive pressure, but as of mid-August there is still no FCC filing or official teaser.
Osmo Nano 2 is much earlier in the process. The original Osmo Nano launched on September 23, 2025. A full successor appearing this soon would be unusually fast for DJI. At this stage, no credible release window has been reported.

Osmo Action 6 (launched Nov 2025): Current flagship rectangular action camera with variable aperture and square sensor.
Both successors are still in early or mid-development stages based on the available evidence.
The appearance of these prototype photos is interesting but still very early. The Action 7 has a clearer path to a late-2026 launch, while the Osmo Nano 2 remains speculative for now.
We will continue monitoring reliable sources and update this page as soon as more detailed images, specs, or official confirmation appear.

The DJI Osmo Pocket 4P has been listed on Amazon USA since mid-August 2026, and the camera was announced back in July. Right now, the only way for buyers to get it is through third-party grey-market importers. At the time, the Pocket 4P Standard units were costing somewhere around $980, and the Vlog/Creator Combo version was costing somewhere around $1,290–$1,390, and for proof, I have also attached the screenshot from that time. So, if someone wished to buy a 4P camera a month ago, they had to pay a very heavy price for it, specifically in the United States of America.
As of August 16, 2026, better options have appeared — particularly through Amazon Germany listings that ship to the United States.
Both versions currently show free international delivery and an estimated shipping window of around 6 weeks.
So, that’s the only issue that I am looking at right now, which is the wait of six weeks. But since it is being sold by Amazon Germany itself, what I do believe is that it is fair to get this camera at this price point if you can wait that long. And if you are not able to wait, and you are not already connected to the DJI ecosystem, you are not deeply invested in those cameras or accessories already, then you can shift your attention towards the Insta360 Luna Ultra or the upcoming Luna Pro. But for now, what I do believe is that if you are specifically interested in having the DJI Pocket 4P camera, then this is the best opportunity right now, in terms of price and seller reputation.
What’s Included
Standard Combo
Osmo Pocket 4P camera
Magnetic fill light
Handle with 1/4″ thread
Carrying pouch
Wrist strap
USB-C cable
Vlog Combo (recommended for most creators)
Everything in the Standard Combo, plus:
DJI Mic Mini 2 transmitter
Osmo FrameTap remote
Mini tripod
Larger carrying bag
Extra windscreens and magnetic clips
The Vlog Combo remains the better value for most people because the FrameTap remote and Mic Mini 2 are genuinely useful accessories.
Important Context for US Buyers
As we all know, the DJI Pocket 4P is not available in the USA due to Ban issues. The Osmo Pocket 4P is still not officially available in the United States. DJI remains on the FCC Covered List (added December 22, 2025), which prevents new models from receiving the equipment authorization required for legal sale through official channels.
These Amazon Germany listings are imported units. Key points to understand:
No official DJI Care Refresh or US-based warranty support
Potential complications with returns
Shipping times are longer than domestic orders (currently ~6 weeks)
Despite these caveats, the current pricing is much closer to the official international rates than what was available just two weeks ago.
The Luna Ultra offers 8K recording, a detachable touchscreen remote, and full US warranty/support. However, many creators still prefer the Pocket 4P’s image quality (especially the claimed 17 stops of dynamic range and D-Log 2), faster slow-motion, and larger internal storage (103GB vs 47GB).
At the new $767 price for the Vlog Combo, the Pocket 4P becomes significantly more competitive on pure value, even after factoring in the longer shipping and lack of official support.
Older Price screent shot for reference
Prices on grey-market imports can change quickly. Stock levels and delivery estimates also fluctuate.

Finally, we have the unboxing video of the Luna Pro camera. The Luna Pro announcement is very close, and we have already seen images of retailers receiving boxes of the Luna Ultra Pro camera to keep in stock just before the announcement.
It’s time to watch the camera’s unboxing video, and at the same time, we will discuss the advantages you get with the Luna Pro compared to the Pocket 4 series in the United States of America. Since, as we all know, DJI has been banned, so not only has productavailability become an issue, but the warranty coverage is also not there if anything happens. It’s really hard to make sure your DJI Pocket 4P or any other related items from DJI will get service and repair, so it’s not only about the specifications. It’s also about the after-sales service, and if you have an option, then obviously I have to take some decision. Let’s have a quick look at the features of the Pro, and then the video we have (below post).
Unboxing Details
Inside the box you’ll find the camera, protective case, 1/4″ thread handle, wrist strap, USB-C cable, and documentation. The protective case fully covers the gimbal head and lens, which is a practical improvement over many competing pocket gimbals.
The camera itself feels solid and well-built. The single-lens design makes the head more compact than the Ultra, while the detachable 2-inch OLED touchscreen remote remains one of the most useful features in this category.
Why the Luna PRO is Currently the Better Option for Most US Buyers
For creators in the United States, the Luna PRO currently holds several practical advantages over the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 series:
Full official availability and support in the USA: Insta360 products are fully authorised and available through official channels (Insta360 Store, Amazon, B&H, Best Buy). There are no import or authorisation issues.
Clear and reliable warranty coverage Buying the Luna PRO through official US retailers means you get standard Insta360 warranty support without complications. This is currently a significant advantage compared to newer DJI products.
No uncertainty around future service or parts With ongoing regulatory pressure on DJI in the US market, long-term service, spare parts, and warranty claims for newer DJI models carry more uncertainty. Insta360 does not face the same restrictions.
Strong core features at a more accessible price You still get a 1-inch Leica-tuned sensor, 10-bit i-Log, excellent stabilization, and the detachable screen — without paying for a second telephoto camera you may not need every day.
If you are a US-based creator looking for a compact, high-quality pocket gimbal in 2026, the Insta360 Luna PRO currently offers a more reliable ownership experience than the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 series. You get strong image quality, a very useful detachable screen, and — most importantly — clear warranty and service coverage without the current regulatory uncertainty surrounding DJI products in the United States.
We will follow up with more detailed sample footage and real-world testing soon.

America’s consumers are mostly dependent on foreign drones, which the USA administration believes, and that’s why, even after completely banning new DJI drones back in December 2025, they are not stopping there. New rules have been updated for military drones, and now, according to the new rules, many DJI consumer-grade drones, including the NEO 2, are considered military-grade and are about to be banned, as we have already clearly mentioned in the previous article.
And now the next move: they have taken a major step to match the price of US-based drones to Chinese ones; already, all the drones we are purchasing have a 25% tariff over it. Some consumer-grade models will face 25% more tariff, approx 50%.
And some of the prosumer already-approved models, which are about to be banned soon in between September 2026 – March 2027, will face approx 100% tariff increase.
A clear price increase is coming for popular DJI drones in the US
….. and it has nothing to do with the proposed LiDAR ban.
Current Tariff Situation (Right Now)
China-origin drones such as the DJI Mini 4 Pro and DJI Neo 2 are already paying approximately 25% tariff under existing Section 301 rules.
Base duty: 0%
Section 301 tariff: +25%
Upcoming proposed traiff ≈ +25% ( tariff 100% for drones with thermal imaging)
What Changes from September 3, 2026
President Trump’s new Section 232 tariff will add an extra duty on imported drones. The rate depends on the type of drone:
Type of Drone
New Additional Tariff
Total Duty After Sept 3
Smaller consumer drones (25 kg or less, without thermal imaging)
+25%
~50%
Larger or sensitive drones (over 25 kg or with thermal imaging)
+100%
~125%
Which Drones Fall Under Which Category?
25% additional tariff (Total ~50%) applies to:
DJI Mini 4k
DJI Neo 2
Almost all DJI drones
Most Mini series, Air series (non-thermal versions), and other regular consumer drones under 25 kg without thermal cameras
100% additional tariff (Total ~125%) applies to:
Drones with maximum takeoff weight over 25 kg
Any drone that has thermal imaging capability
Docking stations and certain critical components of these drones
How Much Will Prices Actually Rise?
The new tariff is charged on the import value. In practice, most of the extra cost is passed on to buyers.
Expected impact on popular models (25% category):
Model
Current Approx. Price
Expected Price After New Tariff
Rough Increase
DJI Mini 4k (base)
$200 – $259
$250 – $370
+15% to 25%
DJI Neo 2 (drone only)
~$259
$310 – $340
+20% to 30%
Neo 2 Fly More Combo
~$429 – $450
$520 – $570
+20% to 25%
Drones that fall under the 100% category (thermal or heavy models) will see a much steeper price jump.
Critical Point: This Price Hike Comes First
There is a separate FCC proposal that may restrict drones with LiDAR or thermal sensors. That proposal is still under discussion and is not final.
The new tariff, however, is already confirmed and starts affecting new imports from approximately September 3, 2026.
In short:
The tariff-driven price increase is locked in.
It will start in early September.
This will happen before any possible LiDAR-related restrictions.
So, these are some important points to consider before you postpone your next drone purchase.
Drones already in the US are not charged the new tariff.
New stock arriving after early September will cost more.
Some sellers may raise prices even before September 3.
If you are planning to buy a Mini 4k, Neo 2, or similar consumer drone in the United States, the lower-price window is closing quickly.
