DJI Avata 3 or DJI Neo 3? Mysterious Dual-Guard Prototype Leaked

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.

Best DJI Drones Under $500 in 2026: Expert Reviews, Comparisons, and Buying Guide

 

DJI Lito 1 and X1 Drone: Release Date, Specs, Price, Variants, and Latest Leaks - 2026 Update

DJI Lito 1 and the DJI Lito X1 are the two drones that are already registered in FCC ID and are expected around the second and third quarter of 2026. These are the entry-level drones set to be the direct replacement of the existing DJI Mini 4K and DJI Mini 5 Pro. Now, before writing this article, we have done cross verification across multiple sources, which confirms a lot of things related to the Lito 1 and the Lito X1 are the drones. And guess what, we also have an exact timeline when these are coming, so we are going to discuss the details in detail — let’s jump into the content.

DJI Lito 1 and X1 Drone at FCCID:

  • November 27, 2025: FCC Approval for DJI Lito X1 Signals Official Development: The first concrete evidence of the DJI Lito X1 emerged with its FCC certification under ID SS3-DGP14 (models DGP14C and DGP14D). This approval confirms the drone’s compliance with US wireless standards, including Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth Low Energy, and SDR transmission for low-latency video. Weighing under 250 grams, the Lito X1 is designed as a foldable, entry-level model exempt from registration in regions like the US and EU.
  • On December 11, the FCC approved the Lito 1 under ID SS3-DGN12, establishing it as the entry-level variant. That same day, insider Igor Bogdanov (@Quadro_News) posted on X about the Lito 1, sharing an image and confirming its existence alongside the X1

DJI Lito X1 Variants: Lito X1 vs. Lito 1

Initially, it started with FCC ID leaks, which confirmed the arrival of the Lito Series in the United States of America. Some specific components of Lito action drones were also leaked (and yes, these parts make us sure, yes, they are the drones which come under the LITO branding). Well, it may be DJI’s strategy; they could have leaked it intentionally to create pre-announcement buzz about which product is actually coming under the branding of Lito. 

What they have done is they also leaked a drone which very closely resembles the arms of the DJI Mini 4K drone, and that was more than enough to confirm that DJI, as well as the Lito X1, is nothing other than the upcoming entry-level drones.

The design might look a bit different from what you’d expect because the handle being held in the leaked images isn’t the final version. DJI still needs to complete the internal wiring in that section, and the drone motors will be attached right at the very end of the arms. Right now, this is essentially a modular shell/prototype of the Lito X1 – early development hardware focused on form and fit. That’s why it appears slightly different from the DJI Mini 4K. This is completely normal in the drone development process.

DJI Lito X1 Variants: Lito X1 vs. Lito 1

Now we have technically two different drones coming, and it’s already a lot of data to prove that yes, these are two drones only and nothing else. Many Asian websites started listing the Lito X1 drone even on their webpages.

But even before that, we do know which specific model is coming to replace which one, so let’s discuss that.

  • DJI Lito 1: Positioned as a successor to the 2024 Mini 4K, it’s geared toward beginners with basic features but solid performance.
  • DJI Lito X1: The higher-end variant, potentially replacing models like the Mini 5 Pro, with enhanced imaging for content creators.

Both variants have been cross-verified through global certifications, ensuring a worldwide rollout.

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.

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.

Battery and Storage

  • Battery: Standard (~30 min, <250g); Plus (~50 min, >250g). Compatible with Mini batteries.
  • Storage: SD slot + internal (Lito 1: ~22GB; X1: ~42GB).

These features position the Lito X1 as a versatile, value-driven drone. As soon as we get confirmed specifications, we will be updating here at TheNewCamera.com.

DJI Lito 1 & X1 Price: What to Expect

Leaked estimates align with Mini pricing:

  • Lito 1: ~$330 base; ~$490 combo.
  • Lito X1: ~$759 base; ~$NA

Cross-verified with market trends and predecessors, it’s competitive against alternatives like the HoverAir X1.

DJI Lito X1 Release Date: Announcement Before May 2026

As of January 28, 2026, the Lito X1 remains unreleased, but leaks suggest an early 2026 launch—likely late February to early April. Global availability is confirmed via FCC and other certifications.

FCC Registration’s Role in Timeline

The FCC approved ID SS3-DGP14 on November 27, 2025. FCC rules permit confidentiality up to 180 days (or shorter, e.g., 120 days) for sensitive info like photos and manuals. A 180-day period ends May 25, 2026; a 120-day period ends March 27, 2026.

Top Drones Under $700 in 2026: DJI Alternatives and Budget Picks for Aerial Photography

Best DJI Drones Under $500 in 2026: Expert Reviews, Comparisons, and Buying Guide

Can You Buy DJI Drones in the USA? The Ban Explained - The Best DJI Drones Still Legal in the USA

The most pressing question we’re hearing continuously nowadays in the USA is louder than ever: Is it possible to buy DJI drones in the USA amid all the security concerns and regulatory issues? The short answer: Yes, for many models—but with caveats. Now, we’re going to break down the details of the DJI drone ban 2026, explain what’s actually available and 100% legal to buy amid the ban, and why there are minimal complexities for most users out there. Let’s dive into the complete details and keep your passion for flight alive.

The Ban Breakdown: What’s Really Happening?

The ban was implemented on DJI on December 23, 2025. The so-called DJI ban isn’t a total shutdown, since it is not a retroactive ban. Retroactive means that even the earlier or previous-generation FCC-approved products would be affected, but that did not happen. The ban, in its best-case scenario, applies only to new approvals (drones announced by DJI after Dec 23, those that didn’t have the FCC clearance), and already cleared FCC products will remain available for sale in the United States of America.

Additionally, a positive update: In early January 2026, the U.S. Commerce Department withdrew a proposed broader rule that could have restricted imports of all Chinese-made drones, easing concerns for existing stock.

As a creator, thinking about switching from DJI to a different brand is not that urgent for now. But in the near future, in the coming one or two years, if you find any other brand more comfortable, you can surely switch if DJI is not able to find another way to break through or overcome this ban.

Which DJI Drones Are Unaffected by the Ban? Our Worth-It Recommendations

Fear not—plenty of DJI models escaped the ban’s full force, thanks to prior FCC approvals. These are still widely available through retailers like Amazon, B&H Photo, and Best Buy, often with deals in 2026.

Yes, that’s very good news. Whether you’re eyeing the recently announced DJI Neo (or Neo 2), the DJI Mini 5 Pro, or the DJI Mini 4K, all these drones are 100% eligible and legal to buy. For savvy consumers, technically, everything remains the same.

Actually, U.S.–based drone users will see the effect on the market. So technically, when DJI releases the Mini 6 Pro, or the Neo 3, or any other future drones coming sometime in 2027 or 2028—or maybe at the very end of 2026—they may get affected by these bans.

DJI Drones Eligible to Buy in the USA in 2026

We have the list, and all these products are FCC-approved and eligible for use inside the USA. No ban or any restriction has been implemented on them. So technically, whatever rules and regulations are being applied to a USA drone are almost the same for FCC-approved DJI drones that have been listed below. This makes it a completely green-flag scenario and 200% eligible/legal to buy in the USA. These products are available at all major retail outlets, including Amazon.com, while stock lasts.

Model FCC Grant Date Key insights about the DJI line-up
DJI Mini 4 Pro Sep 2023 All Models Up to Air 3S  are Eligible
DJI Air 3S Oct 2024 All Models Up to Air 3S  are Eligible
DJI Mavic 3 Pro Apr 2023 All Models Up to the Mavic 3 Pro are Eligible
DJI Avata 2  Apr 2024  All Models Up to Avata 2 & Avata 360 are Eligible
DJI Neo 2 Nov 2025 All Models Up to Neo 2 are Eligible
DJI Matrice 350 RTK Pre-2025 All Models Up to Matrice 350 RTK are Eligible
DJI Inspire 3 Pre-2025 All Models Up to Inspire 3 are Eligible

All these models are highly popular in America, and they are being sold in thousands every month. One of the best parts is that DJI has covered nearly 70–80% of the drone market in the United States of America. The reason behind this huge popularity is DJI’s reasonably priced, high-performance products.

The Drama Behind the Ban – And Why It’s Overblown for Most Users

The DJI ban 2026 narrative is fueled by geopolitical tensions, but for everyday users, it’s more hype than havoc.

Many people are overly fearful before buying a drone due to all these issues being raised, without a clear set of information on whether they should buy or not. They’re highly confused, and we’re getting lots of genuine questions in our mailbox asking whether it is legal to buy DJI drones in the USA.

Yes, it is 100% legal. You can buy them. You can fly them. You can sell them. You can keep them and do whatever is allowed under regulations.

Critics point to data security, but DJI offers offline modes and local storage to mitigate risks. The Commerce Department’s January 2026 withdrawal of broader restrictions signals a pause, possibly tied to diplomatic talks. Meanwhile, the FCC’s exemptions for Blue UAS drones highlight a balanced approach, prioritizing vetted technology.

That said, the ban does protect U.S. manufacturers, pushing innovation from brands like Skydio. For consumers, it may mean higher prices, but existing DJI stock ensures options.

Before we talk about the alternatives, I want to tell you that the alternatives manufactured inside the United States of America are not that budget-friendly. These drones are coming at skyrocketing prices.

DJI Alternatives in the USA: Top Picks for 2026

With new DJI models sidelined, exploring alternatives is wise. U.S.-based or allied brands are stepping up, often Blue UAS-approved for seamless compliance. Here’s a comparison table to help decide:

Drone Model Manufacturer Key Features Price Range Why Consider It?
Skydio X10 Skydio (USA) AI autonomy, 4K/60fps, 45-min flight, enterprise-grade security $15,000–$20,000+ Blue UAS-exempt; ideal for commercial ops with robust privacy.
Parrot Anafi USA Parrot (France) 4K HDR video, 32-min flight, thermal imaging option $1,500–$3,000 Ally-made, secure data handling; great for inspections.
Sony Airpeak S1 Sony (Japan) Modular with Alpha camera integration, 22-min flight $9,000+ Pro filmmaking; high-end quality for creatives.

These options fill the gap, especially for those prioritising U.S.-made drones in 2026. Skydio’s AI capabilities rival DJI’s, while Parrot offers value for security-focused users.  But, other alternative available at sky high price, If you want some cheap options, you can explore here

Keep in mind Skyrover is a DJI Mini 5 Pro drone copy, although not exactly the same, but yes available at a reasonable price. If you’re still not interested in getting a DJI drone, then obviously X1 could be your choice.

In summary, yes, you can buy DJI drones in the USA in 2026, focusing on unaffected models. The ban explained here isn’t the end; it’s just the beginning of smarter choices. Yes, we are here to help you get the best return from your available budget, and if you have any questions or confusion, you can ask in the comment section. We are going to help you sort it out.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4 New Leaked Image: Reveal Confirm Design Upgrades and more...

Finally, we have a new leaked image of the Pocket 4 camera from highly trusted sources. This is one of the clearest pictures we have seen among the set of leaked images we have published before. The design, the interface, and the buttons—everything is very clear, and the differences are also clearly visible. On the other side, we have the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 camera. So literally, this is one of the best images and the clearest twin comparisons we have seen so far.

In the same article, we will conduct a brief analysis of the design, highlighting the differences between the two that we have already observed and again notice in this image, as well as its origin. Obviously, it appears to be from another restaurant or café, where someone is chilling with a cup of coffee, likely black coffee. So yes, everything shown in this post, let’s explore it one by one.

Breaking Down the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Leaked Image

The latest image leaked by @Quadro_News shows two compact gimbal cameras placed side-by-side on a table, next to a takeaway coffee cup. The setup appears casual, suggesting someone is testing both cameras and taking a break. Beyond this, the photo highlights clear design differences between the models.

The two buttons below the LCD screen are now more clearly visible. As a reminder, we were the first to showcase the design of these buttons in one of our posts published a few months ago (October 23rd, 2025), where the DJI Pocket 4 camera was spotted during a Barcelona shoot for its promotional material. The commercial was already shot months ago, but due to the US ban on DJI products and related complications, DJI had to silently delay the announcement from December 2025 to January 2026. Now, we’re seeing more hands-on leaks as the launch approaches.

The announcement is expected sometime between mid-March and April 2026. Apart from all this, the new design looks very attractive, with the Pocket 4 exhibiting a slimmer profile compared to the Pocket 3.

Take a look at the major design highlights and the key differences between the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 and the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, which are very clearly visible. So just have a look at what the major design differences are that we have between the two devices.

  • Screen Size and Orientation: The Pocket 4 &3 is clearly visible on the screen, and we have written the name as well, so you don’t get confused. The display screen of the Pocket 4 seems slightly larger, or maybe almost the same?. Since we are not able to notice a big difference in the screen size, but yes, as per the leaks, we may have a slightly larger screen in the upcoming Pocket 4. What do you think? Does it look a bit larger, or maybe just slightly larger than the Pocket 3? Let me know in the comments.
  • Control Interface: Yes, that’s the best part to see, and it’s true, since we had already posted this back in October 2025. The Pocket 4 is coming with two extra buttons and updated controls. This could offer more precise control over settings like zoom, focus, and gimbal movements, reducing the need for on-screen taps during fast-paced shoots. We will have more details once everything becomes official, but for now, it is clear that we are getting some extra physical controls with the Pocket 4. A standout difference here is clearly the control mechanism.
  • Overall Ergonomics: The Pocket 4 looks more compact yet feature-packed, with possible improvements in battery life and heat management. If the Amazon leak holds true, expect a 1-inch (2.5 cm) CMOS sensor, 4K/120fps video recording, and enhanced low-light performance—surpassing the Pocket 3’s capabilities.

These changes position the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 as a top contender among the best gimbal cameras for 2026, ideal for travel vlogging, action sports, and professional filmmaking. The specification comparison used below, and specifically the specs mentioned, are coming from the Amazon.de listing. So again, the specifications you see below are not from a highly authentic or officially trusted source. They have been leaked via the DJI Amazon.de page, and therefore, the details mentioned are neither official nor confirmed. We are only sharing a glimpse so that you can get a basic idea of what to expect.

Leak Origin: Clues Point to China

The DJ pocket for the recent image that you see above was captured at a coffee shop. And if you just look at the coffee cup branding, it belongs to Luckin Coffee, a popular Chinese coffee chain founded in 2017. With over 10,000 stores predominantly in China, Luckin Coffee is a staple in cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen.

Nayan here is the most interesting part of the league, the DJI Headquarters at Sky City, (No. 55 Xianyuan Road, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, China), it’s plausible this photo was taken during internal testing or at a nearby cafe. The nearest Luckin Coffee store is conveniently located close by, with one branch reportedly visible from the lobby area of the DJI Sky City complex—according to user reviews, it’s on the left side of the lobby. For accessibility, the closest metro station is Liuxiandong Station on Metro Line 5, just a 10-minute walk from the headquarters.

Should You Wait for the DJI Osmo Pocket 4?

Yes, as we said, wait for the DJI Osmo Pocket 4, since the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is an FCC-approved camera, so it will soon become available in the United States of America once it becomes official. As per the rumors, the announcement is expected within the next one or two months, and yes, we are seeing multiple sets of specifications from different sources, which can be confusing.

If the dual-camera setup arrives with the Pocket 4, then obviously it will be a massive upgrade compared to the Pocket 3. So for now, wait for more confirmations related to the specifications and arrival date, and we will be updating everything as soon as any new information becomes available here at TheNewCamera.com.

DJI Pocket 4 Leaked on Amazon: Latest Release Date and Specifications

DJI Pocket 4 Delayed Once More: Latest Rumored Release Date for 2026

The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is coming with ground-breaking technological upgrades over the Pocket 3, as detailed in our recent coverage. Leaked images from trusted sources confirm a lens-based dual-camera design for the upcoming model.

However, multiple delays have pushed back the DJI Pocket 4 announcement. It was initially expected in December 2025, but postponed due to unfinished accessories. A January 2026 date was then floated, but as we enter mid-January 2026 with no official word, hints from YouTuber Photorabz and our exclusive sources now point to a timeline from late January to early spring, potentially mid-March to April for the advanced variant.

The delay is unexpected, especially since leaked NDA documents surfaced months back in September 2025.

Initial Rumors and the Road to Delay: From December 2025 to Early 2026

As covered in our previous article—DJI Pocket 4 Front View Leaked – Dual Camera Design Exposed—the initial delay was confirmed via leaks and insider tips. With mid-January here and no updates, the DJI Pocket 4 release has slipped further, leaving fans eager for this highly anticipated vlogging camera.

We’ve relied on trusted insiders, but fresh tips from Photorabz (via his candid video recorded at Athens Airport after a holiday) include a shared screenshot confirming the end-of-January delay.

Key points from his video:

His source shared the following insight with him

Photorabz Insights: Two Versions and Further Postponements Confirmed

Photorabz, drawing from a DJI supplier friend and Chinese content creators, shared:

  • The end-of-January 2026 timeline has been delayed.
  • DJI plans two versions: a standard model (evolutionary upgrades from Pocket 3) and an advanced dual-camera variant with seamless optical zoom and better low-light performance.
  • The dual-lens model is now slated for around April 2026.

He mentioned two models – the standard Pocket 4 and a non-standard version—with one eyed for April, but no further details.

 

Latest Updated: Late Feb to April 2026 Timeline

Building on Photorabz’s report, our exclusive sources clarify without naming a “Pro” edition. They confirm the delay beyond January, with the innovative wide + telephoto dual-camera Pocket 4 now expected from late February to April 2026.

This is the current timeframe based on the latest updates. We’ll post any new developments here.

As writers for TheNewCamera.com, we’re monitoring DJI Osmo Pocket 4 developments through leaks, insiders, and official channels. While rumors from Photorabz and our sources are exciting, we’re awaiting DJI’s confirmation. Stay tuned—the wait for this game-changing gimbal camera might be worth it.
