Just a few hours ago, one of the most trusted DJI leakers, Igor, posted a fresh video showing a new drone prototype being tested by one of the experienced FPV testers at an unknown place.
The video is not that clear due to quality issues, as usual. These kinds of early prototype leaked videos are generally blurry, specifically captured in a way to create sensation while also protecting the identity of the upcoming drone. Still, with the help of AI and image upscaling software, the drone design has become clearer to us, which indicates that the drone that is being tested seems like an early prototype of DJI Neo 3, specifically if you look at the structure of the guard protectors of the drone.
“👉Well, well, well…DJI, what are you doing? Let me think: Neo 3 or Avata 3🫣”
The 16th leaked video has been uploaded, and it created massive excitement among the fans, and yes, a lot of them are claiming that it looks like a budget version of the 360 drone mixed with the Neo design. So there is some possibility that we may have a 360 in late 2026 or early 2027.
Why the Guard Pattern Doesn’t Match Avata 3 Drone Expectations
Recall our earlier report (March 21, 2026): A trusted Chinese source who actually test-flew the Avata 3 prototype told drone creator Mauro Tandoi that the next Avata will feature a panoramic dual-camera gimbal similar to the Avata 360’s 360° viewing angle. The flight feel was reportedly not as sharp as the Avata 2.
Traditional Avata bodies (Avata 1, 2, and the just-launched 360) use rugged cinewhoop designs with smaller, asymmetrical bottom/rear vents for ESCs and motors. Nothing like these oversized side grills. The March leak focused entirely on the gimbal upgrade — no mention of a radical body redesign.
Or Is This an Advanced Neo 3 Whoop Drone Body?
The compact size and ultra-symmetric design feel very “Neo.” The original DJI Neo is the palm-sized beginner whoop that’s insanely popular for its throw-and-go simplicity. A Neo 3 with upgraded ventilation for longer flight times, stronger motors, or even hybrid 360° capabilities would make total sense as an evolution.
Some replies to Quadro_News even called it “Neo 360” or compared it to the HoverAir Aqua. The grill pattern is far more Neo-like than Avata-like.
Timeline: How Soon Could We See This?
Avata 360: Just launched in China (March 26, 2026) and now shipping globally.
Avata 3: Still on track for late 2027 per the credible March leak. Early field testing of supporting hardware (like a new controller) fits perfectly.
Neo 3: Not overdue for a quick refresh. No official leaks yet, but DJI loves testing radical ideas on the cheaper Neo line first.
The fact that DJI is already doing outdoor multi-device power testing in April 2026 means development is moving faster than the 2027 timeline suggested.
Bottom Line: Most Likely a Prototype Controller for Avata 3 (or Neo 3 Drone)
We’re leaning 65% toward a new FPV 360 Style budget drone for beginners /whoop controller with those signature grills for thermal performance, and 35% toward an advanced Neo 3 Update. The grill pattern simply doesn’t match any Avata drone DNA we’ve seen.

The wait for the Pocket 4 camera is almost over, and as of April 2026, many authorised sellers—specifically from mainland China—have started taking offline pre-orders for the DJI flagship handheld vlogging camera.
The latest developments are coming from authentic sources, and in support of that, subscribers and WeChat images have surfaced, showing retailers asking for pre-orders. While cross-verifying the information with other users, we came to know that yes, the pre-orders have started in first come first served basis. Take a look at the sort of information provided by our subscribers.
Snap from Chat – Retailers asking of pre-oders for the DJI POCKET 4 Camera
Blind Pre-Orders Live in China: What the Seller’s Message Says
A WeChat message from a DJI-authorised dealer (showing the official “DJI大疆” branding) confirms that pre-orders for the new “年度重磅【手持】” (annual flagship handheld) model opened on April 4, 2026.
Key points from the seller notification:
Blind order policy: No full specs or pricing shared yet. You can cancel if not satisfied once more details are revealed.
Ordering process: First-come basis. Full payment required upon product release and pickup.
Inventory note: Pricing, exact stock levels, and final sales timing are still unknown. High demand may push late orders to a second wave.
Physical retail boxes (including the Creator Combo) are already in warehouses or stores, signalling that the launch is imminent.
Expected Global Launch:
A few days back, we got confirmation from our subscribers that retail stores out there are processing the delivery of their stock on April 20, 2026 – Yes, we are talking about the Pocket 4 camera stock lot of retailers across China.
So technically, by analyzing the scenario at that time, what we have concluded is that the announcement of the DJI camera is on or before April 20, 2026, which seems to be quite reasonable given the type of situation.
Confirmed Specs from Creator Combo Packaging Leak
These are the 100% confirmed set of core specifications which we have published in our previous post. All these core specs are clearly visible in the DJI Pocket 4 BOX
1-inch CMOS sensor with 14 stops of dynamic range — a huge improvement for low-light performance and HDR-style video.
10-bit D-Log color support for professional grading.
107GB high-speed internal storage with up to 800MB/s transfer speeds (eliminates slow microSD bottlenecks and potential corruption issues).
2x lossless zoom — new hardware capability for flexible framing without quality loss.
ActiveTrack 7.0 with improved intelligent subject tracking.
OsmoAudio™ 4-channel output for richer, directional audio.
3-axis stabilization + rotatable touchscreen.
The Creator Combo is expected to include the camera plus essential accessories (ND filters, extra batteries, microphones, etc.). Pricing rumors suggest:
Standard model: ~$499–$599
Creator Combo: ~$649–$749
These features make the Pocket 4 a practical upgrade focused on workflow efficiency, color science, and usability rather than just chasing higher resolution.
Video Specs Clarification: No 6K on Standard Model? Only 4K120p
One of the most heated debates we have right now is that some of the early rumors revealed the camera is able to record 6K video. Sometimes it was also linked with a 50MP sensor and faster readout capability, but multiple sources, including hands-on demo photos shared by insiders, suggest a better and clearer ground reality for the standard Pocket 4 camera.
According to a reliable source who provided early sample footage labeled “DJI Osmo Pocket 4”:
The base/standard model supports 4K at 120fps (excellent for smooth slow-motion) but does not include 6K recording.
The much-discussed 6K capability appears tied to hype around a potential Pocket 4 Pro variant (possibly with dual-camera setup) or early overstated leaks.
The packaging leak you covered does not advertise 6K, which further supports this clarification. For most creators, 4K120p + 14-stop DR + 10-bit D-Log will deliver far more usable footage than chasing 6K with potential heat or battery trade-offs.
Why These Updates Matter for Buyers
No more storage headaches: 107GB at 800MB/s is a game-changer for long vlogs or high-bitrate recording.
Better image quality: 14 stops of dynamic range and strong 1-inch sensor performance should shine in challenging lighting.
Creator-friendly: 2x lossless zoom, 4-channel audio, and ActiveTrack 7.0 make it ideal for solo vlogging and run-and-gun shooting.
When DJI Pocket 4 Standard Model Pre-order will Start in the USA
As we all know, the official announcement is about to happen soon, and most probably from , mid-to-late April 2026. The pre-order lines will become available on websites like B&H Store and Amazon.com in the United States of America.
And since the Pocket 4 camera has already cleared the FCC, then obviously, there is no issue related to this device being sold in the United States of America. Be ready for the standard edition coming soon in the US marketplace.
If you’re in mainland China or have access to local dealers, the current blind pre-order is a low-commitment way to get in early. Compared to the Pocket 3, the Pocket 4 looks like a refined, more practical evolution — focusing on real-world usability upgrades rather than flashy spec jumps.
What do you think? Will the combination of 107GB storage and 14-stop DR make you upgrade? Or are you holding out for a possible Pocket 4 Pro with 6K? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
Stay tuned for more updates

Yes, we have been tracking down the Lito drones for months, and today we have the most exciting news about Lito. Finally, we have the official pictures of the upcoming Lito drone. This is now all over the place, starting with veteran DJI insider Igor, who shared two neat, clean images of the upcoming drone. Later on, we have more images and videos of the same. We’ve compiled all the recent updates we have received about the upcoming drones in this post, so let’s explore them.
So if you are following our website, then you do know that DJI has cleared the Lito and Lito X1 registration before the ban took place. And these two sub-250 drones are ready to be sold in the United States of America. Those media publications who were claiming that the DJI Avata 360 is the last drone that DJI has cleared in the FCC listing were not correct, and that’s why we have not added any input to that claim. Since we do know that the Lito 1 and the Lito X1 are still in the company’s announcement pipeline.
First Look: What the New Leaked Images Reveal
Let’s explore the details of what we can get here from these two drone images, the possible set of specs that we can extract from these two
Foldable, ultra-compact design — The arms are folded in inward just like the current Mini series, making them pocketable and travel-friendly. The overall silhouette looks even sleeker than the Mini 5 Pro.
Prominent 3-axis gimbal camera — Clearly visible underneath the body, with a slightly more integrated housing that suggests improved stabilization and possibly a larger sensor module on the X1 variant.
Four quick-release propellers — Mounted on extended arms that appear modular (consistent with earlier component leaks we covered back in January).
Clean labeling — Both drones are clearly marked “DJI LITO X1” and “DJI LITO 1” right on the body, leaving zero doubt about the naming.
Subtle LED indicators and battery compartment — The top surface shows refined button layout and what looks like an improved battery latch system.
So, for now, it is very clear that the images that we have seen are not blurry images or CAD renders. These are the actual images of the Lito 1 and Lito X1 drones. The source, Igor’s track record (Avata 360, Pocket 4, Neo 2, etc.) makes these images extremely credible.
Interesting insight by user who found this – One thing I find really interesting is that when I check the transmission settings, nothing shows up at all. It makes me think DJI is already transitioning to the new O5 transmission system. Looks like we can officially say goodbye to our RC2 controllers.
We have already pointed out this in our January Post
Why do we think O5 will be in X1 – Since after deep analysis of FCCIF document of X1 Drone we found that, it mentions “SDR Transmission 2 Transceiver” (Dec 20, 2025 entry), which aligns with OcuSync’s SDR roots but adds 5G cellular integration—positioning it as a true “next-gen” leap for unlimited range beyond line-of-sight.
O4 achieves 20km (12.4 miles) in ideal conditions (FCC mode), far beyond Wi-Fi’s 1-2km limit. With SDR 2’s 5G integration (as in the FCC), range becomes virtually unlimited via cellular networks, enabling beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) flights for inspections or search-and-rescue—crucial amid regulations like the US FCC bans on non-compliant tech.
Specification” Flight Features and Sensors
Obstacle Avoidance: 360° detection via fisheye optics, LiDAR-like sensors (10m range), and infrared for altitude.
Transmission: O5 for 20km+ range; Wi-Fi up to 500m. Compatible with RC-N3/RC2.
Control Modes: Autonomous, voice (“Hey fly”), motion, app-based.
Wind Resistance: Level 5 with efficient motors.
Other: Front display, LEDs, SDR anti-interference.
Quick Recap: Everything We’ve Already Published About the Lito Series
We’ve been all over this story since the first whispers:
November–December 2025 FCC filings — Lito X1 cleared under SS3-DGP14, followed by the entry-level Lito 1 under SS3-DGN12.
January 30, 2026 deep-dive— We analyzed leaked modular arm prototypes, Asian market listings, and early pricing rumors.
Component and bundle leaks — Igor previously shared close-ups of the arms, gimbals, and Fly More Combo packaging.
Today’s images perfectly tie all those loose ends together. The modular arms we saw months ago are now fully integrated into these finished-looking units.
Both models are expected to retain the no-drone-license appeal that made the Mini series so popular while adding modern features like full 360° obstacle avoidance (a first for this weight class) and DJI’s latest O5 video transmission system.
What These New Images Mean for Consumers
Design Evolution — The white colorway feels fresh and premium. The more integrated gimbal and refined arm hinges suggest better wind resistance and smoother flight compared to older Mini models.
Market Positioning — DJI is clearly segmenting the sub-250g market. Lito 1 will be the affordable “daily driver” for beginners, while the Lito X1 targets serious creators who want flagship-level performance without crossing the 250g threshold.
Competition — With Insta360’s Antigravity drone already out and other brands pushing lightweight FPV options, the Lito series looks poised to dominate the “fun + safe + cinematic” segment in 2026.
Launch Timeline — Given how polished these shots look, we’re likely weeks (not months) away from official announcement. Expect a global launch sometime in Q2 2026, possibly with pre-orders opening immediately.
Final Thoughts
These two clean product images of the DJI Lito 1 and DJI Lito X1 are the strongest confirmation yet that DJI’s next compact drones are basically ready for prime time.
We’ll continue updating this page as more details emerge—pricing bundles, exact camera specs, and full comparison tables will follow. In the meantime, drop your thoughts in the comments: Will you be upgrading from your current Mini to the new Lito series? Which model are you leaning toward—the budget Lito 1 or the feature-packed Lito X1?
Stay tuned to TheNewCamera.com for the fastest DJI Lito updates, hands-on impressions (once available), and full review coverage the moment these drones drop.

These prices align perfectly with the Pocket 3 Creator Combo launch pricing. US buyers can expect immediate availability on DJI.com, Amazon, and major retailers like B&H Photo and Best Buy shortly after announcement.
Why the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Creator Combo Is Perfect for American Content Creators
So whether you are a professional filmmaker and want a lightweight handheld gimbal camera for BTS shoots, or you are a professional content creator who wants a personal AI assistant that captures you on the go and delivers stable and smooth footage in ultra-high definition by automatically tracking you and keeping you always in the frame, then obviously the upgraded DJI Osmo Pocket 4 camera is made for you.
One of the most important features of the DJI Pocket series is ActiveTrack. It automatically tracks you while the camera is placed on a tripod or even on a table. You don’t need to adjust extra settings—just enable the ActiveTrack function, and it will automatically follow you by rotating the gimbal head and keeping you in the frame.
With the new generation Pocket 4 camera, we also have 2x lossless zoom, which allows you to capture high-quality images, making it more useful and suitable for professional work. Other than that, the 1-inch sensor now has an extended dynamic range for better low-light performance.
Overall, this professional setup is highly recommended for those who want a powerful content creation tool right at their hand.
The 107GB internal storage alone solves one of the biggest pain points of the Pocket 3 — no more hunting for fast microSD cards or worrying about corruption during 4K/120fps or higher-bitrate D-Log recording.
Should You Wait or Buy the Pocket 3 Now?
If you’re in the US and have been holding off since the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 launched in 2023, the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Creator Combo looks like the definitive upgrade.

So we have a new 35mm f/1.8 lens on the block. The lens is a super compact.Its weight is approximately 216 g, and it’s perfect for compact bodies like the Sony ZV-E10, E-1, or the Sony A7C series. Although you can use it for photography, those who prefer a 35mm format on a budget find options a bit costly. Even the version of the 35mm f/1.4 is going to cost you approximately 699, and Sigma is also costly. But again, you do have an option from VILTROX in the market, that is 35mm f/1.8, which is available at approximately 379. So, overall, at the end, Samyang has made 35mm more and more affordable at $265. It all depends on the type—if you want a bit more affordable, then obviously the Samyang is the best prime. Other than that, a lot of other options are already available with different form factors, apertures, and price ranges.
Compared to the bigger, brighter AF 35mm F1.4 P FE (which tips the scales at 470g), the new F1.8 version is a svelte 216g and just 72mm long. That’s the kind of size that slips into a jacket pocket or pairs perfectly with the Sony α7C series or ZV-E bodies without making you regret leaving the house.
Here’s the no-fluff, real-world breakdown every photographer actually cares about. Prices are current US street prices from major retailers (B&H, Amazon, official sites). Note: No major third-party brand currently makes an exact AF 35mm f/1.5 FE lens — the closest realistic competitors are f/1.4 (brighter but bigger/heavier) and f/1.8 models. The new LK Samyang AF 35mm F1.8 P FE is the clear value king in the “actually carry it every day” category.
Lens Model
Max Aperture
Weight

Approx. Price (USD)
Why It Matters / X-Factor vs New Samyang P
LK Samyang AF 35mm F1.8 P FE (New Prima)
f/1.8
216 g
72 mm
$265
The winner for most people. Lightest, cheapest, weather-sealed, modern STM II AF, USB-C firmware, and still sharp with great flare control. Built to be your daily walkaround lens.
Samyang AF 35mm f/1.4 FE II
f/1.4
659 g
115 mm
$699
Brighter aperture for more subject separation and low light, but over 3× heavier and 60% more expensive. Great if you prioritize bokeh over portability.
Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG DN Art
f/1.4
640 g
109 mm
$949–$989
Premium build and optics that can trade blows with Sony GM glass, but you’re paying nearly 4× the price and carrying triple the weight. Overkill for everyday shooting.
Viltrox AF 35mm f/1.8 FE
f/1.8
~340 g
~82 mm
$379
Similar aperture and AF, but noticeably heavier and pricier than the new Prima. Solid budget option, yet the Samyang P still beats it on size, weight, and value.
Bottom Line – Why Recommend the New Samyang AF 35mm F1.8 P FE
Pure value: At $265 it’s $114–$724 cheaper than every other third-party option while being dramatically lighter and more compact.
Real-world usability: 216 g means it disappears on an a7C, a7IV, or ZV-E body. The others feel like you’re carrying extra gear.
No compromises on essentials: Weather sealing, 9-blade bokeh, fast/quiet Linear STM II motor, and direct USB-C updates — features you usually pay $400+ more to get.
Stay tuned, the Review is on its way

Key Features
Compact and Lightweight Design : Made for Everyday Carry
The AF 35mm F1.8 P FE continues the Prima Series philosophy of compact and portable lens design.
With a maximum diameter of Φ69.8mm and a standard 62mm filter size, the lens integrates seamlessly into lightweight shooting setups and is easy to carry throughout the day.
Its compact form pairs particularly well with lightweight full-frame cameras such as the Sony α7C series and ZV-E models, making it an ideal everyday lens for travel, street photography, and hybrid content creation.
Bright F1.8 Aperture with Natural Bokeh : Balanced Performance for Photo and Video
The bright F1.8 aperture provides excellent flexibility across a wide range of lighting conditions, allowing creators to shoot confidently in both bright daylight and low-light environments.
A 9-blade rounded aperture produces smooth and natural background blur, enabling expressive subject separation for portraits, lifestyle photography, and cinematic video production.
This balance of brightness and portability makes the AF 35mm F1.8 P FE a practical lens for everyday creative work.
Next-Generation Optical Technology : XHR Element for Higher Performance

The XHR (Extra High Refractive) lens element is manufactured with higher precision compared to conventional high-refractive index elements, allowing for a more compact optical structure while effectively reducing optical aberrations.
By incorporating XHR elements, the lens achieves improved optical performance while maintaining a thinner and lighter design, delivering sharp resolution and consistent image quality across the entire frame.
Next-Generation Coating Technology : UMC II for Improved Image Clarity
The AF 35mm F1.8 P FE incorporates UMC II (Ultra Multi Coating II), the next generation of LK SAMYANG’s coating technology.
Compared to the previous coating system, UMC II further suppresses flare and ghosting, ensuring improved contrast and clarity even in challenging lighting environments such as strong backlight or night scenes.
This upgraded coating technology helps deliver cleaner and more vibrant images in real-world shooting conditions.
Fast and Quiet Autofocus : Linear STM II for Hybrid Creators
The AF 35mm F1.8 P FE is equipped with the next-generation Linear STM II autofocus motor.
Combined with continuously refined firmware algorithms, the Linear STM II system delivers faster, more accurate, and quieter autofocus performance, ensuring smooth focusing transitions for both still photography and video recording.
This improved autofocus system allows creators to capture dynamic scenes with greater precision and stability.
Enhanced Usability for Real-World Shooting : Weather Sealing and USB-C Connectivity
The AF 35mm F1.8 P FE is designed to perform reliably in real-world shooting environments.
The lens features weather sealing, helping protect it from light rain, dust, and outdoor shooting conditions.
It also includes a USB-C port, enabling users to easily update firmware and customize lens settings directly without the need for a separate lens station.
This convenient connectivity ensures that users can keep their lens up to date while maintaining optimal performance.
Designed for Modern Creators
An LK SAMYANG representative commented:
“The Prima Series was created to offer lenses that creators reach for first. The AF 35mm F1.8 P FE reflects that philosophy by delivering a balanced combination of portability, optical performance, and everyday usability, making it an ideal lens for both photography and video creation.”
Availability
The LK SAMYANG AF 35mm F1.8 P FE will be available for purchase starting late March 2026, with sales gradually launching across global markets through LK SAMYANG’s distribution network and authorized retailers.

Well, this is really on top of the rest of the leaks that we have published recently, better to say kind of a breakthrough news that we have spotted – DJI has just uploaded a striking new promotional banner for the DJI Avata 360 directly on its official Amazon US storefront. Confirmation from the DJI itself. The banner confirms the product name, the “8K Flagship 360° Drone” positioning, and the bold tagline “Above It All, See It All.” This is the clearest visual proof yet for US buyers — the banner is live right now on the official DJI store page on Amazon.com. The release date is on March 26, 2026. Now waiting to get more confirmation about the shipping date of the upcoming drone
Below we have the price comparison. If you have missed our previous post comparing it to the Antigravity price with Avata360, even before that, take a look at the first hands-on report and reviews that have popped up for the Avata 360, which are very exciting, as well as a revolutionary upgrade over the drone while using it for the first time..
This is the most unique part of the entire drone. Of course, it has a full 360 camera, but how does it actually shoot 360° when one lens is facing you? The second camera is on the opposite side.
What I loved most: the camera actually rotates during takeoff and landing. It spins from the 360 position so the top camera moves to the bottom and vice versa. There are little protective feet/pads at the bottom, so when you land, you’re never touching the lens itself. It sits perfectly protected. You can read the first review here of the Avata 360
Prices are based on current official Antigravity bundles (USD) and leaked European Avata 360 figures converted at ~1 EUR ≈ 1.15 USD (mid-March 2026 rates). US pricing for Avata 360 may adjust slightly at launch, but is expected to align closely or be even more competitive.
The DJI Avata 360 comparison that we have done clearly shows that the core specifications [core specs comparison at this page] that we are getting inside the 360 drone are far better than what we have in the Antigravity. Even though detailed comparison videos will be uploaded once the drone becomes official, if you compare and look at the pricing that we have for now, you can clearly see that the Avata 360 is going to cost you a lot compared to the A1. Other than that, we have a dual operational mode — one is the FPV style, and the other is the regular 360 drone, so technically the 360 is more advanced, and the pricing is low.
Why the DJI Avata 360 Matters for US Drone Pilots
This is DJI’s first true hybrid FPV + 360° spherical drone. It combines the immersive flight experience of the Avata series with full 360° capture
This drone gives you one of the widest ranges in terms of dynamic experience, where you can capture in 360° and recompose it later as per your own convenience. Other than that, as a standalone system, the tight shooting experience that you get with this drone is something that is kind of unforgettable with a portable 360 drone, this could be the most versatile drone DJI has ever released under 250 g–500 g class regulations.
Stay tuned — we will update this article once the second pre-order links and full specifications drop on March 30.

DJI has officially confirmed that the DJI Avata 360 will launch on March 26, 2026, at 12 PM GMT. The new community leak suggests that the global shipping of the drone will be delayed beyond the announcement. Earlier, it was said that shipping will start in the first week of April, and at the same time, it will also be available in the United States of America. But recently, according to an Italian user and creator, who is also a DJI expert — according to Mauro Tandoi (@MauroTandoi on X), who shared a clear screenshot from the upcoming drone’s FPV interface (credit: YouTube channel losvideosdefelix), sales outside China may be postponed until after the third week of April — possibly starting around April 24, 2026.
DJI has officially confirmed the DJI Avata 360 launch date: March 26, 2026, at 12:00 PM GMT (8:00 AM EDT / 5:30 PM IST). US drone pilots are excited, but a new community leak suggests global shipping to the USA will be delayed slightly beyond the announcement.
Here’s exactly what US buyers need to know right now.
DJI Avata 360 Launch vs. USA Shipping Date – The Breakdown
Official Global Launch Event: March 26, 2026 (confirmed by DJI on Instagram, Facebook, and their website)
China Sales Start: Expected immediately after the live stream (typical DJI pattern)
USA & Global Shipping: Early-to-mid April 2026 is still the most common rumor, but the latest X leak points to a possible slip to late April (around April 24).
One thing that I would like to add is that the DJI Avata 360 drone is already approved, and you don’t have to worry at all. If you are receiving some delayed news about the shipment of the drone to global regions, specifically related to the United States of America, then there is no need to worry, since it is FCC-approved. It will appear sooner or later in the market, and most probably it’s not too late — it will appear at the end of April 2026. You can pre-order online so you will be prioritised on a first-come, first-served basis.
Once again, let’s have a look at the pricing of the upcoming drone.
Exact prices and bundles will be revealed during the March 26 live event. Watch DJI’s YouTube channel or Instagram for the stream.
