Insta360 Luna Ultra has been announced, but we again have the modular camera prototype images of the camera, which are coming straight out from one of the most trusted leakers, Igor. Take a look at what he said and shared in his latest tweet.
Tech leaker Igor Bogdanov (@Quadro_News) shared three clean studio shots today, captioning them as:
“Photo of the early prototype of the Insta360 modular camera, from which Luna came.”
Before jumping into more details and images, let me clarify one thing. This is not the first time we are looking at the modular prototypes of the Insta360 camera. Back in January 2026, we published the modular prototype images for the first time on the web here at TheNewCamera.com.
The wording is important. Igor didn’t say these were early Luna prototypes. He referred to them as prototypes of “the Insta360 modular camera” — suggesting that Luna is a product that came out of a larger modular development program inside Insta360.
A Story We’ve Been Following Since January 2026
As I have said earlier, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen these kinds of images. Back in January 2026, thenewcamera.com exclusively published prototype photos of Insta360’s upcoming pocket camera. Those images already showed a highly modular system – with snap-together modules, interchangeable lenses (including Leica optics), and multiple camera heads that could attach to a gimbal or be used standalone.
At the time, the camera had no official name. What we saw then was clearly part of the same modular vision that has now taken shape as the Luna series.
What These New Photos Reveal
The latest images shared today appear to show an even earlier stage of development. We can see:
- A vertical pocket-style body with a large lens
- A gimbal unit paired with a small detachable camera module
- A standalone small square sensor module
These early experiments show Insta360 was exploring multiple directions before narrowing down the final design. Interestingly, some of these early prototypes appear more modular than the Luna Ultra that launched on June 10, 2026.
The Exciting Part: Is This the Beginning, Not the End?
Here’s where it gets interesting.
The fact that Insta360 was working on a broader “modular camera” platform (as Igor described it) raises an exciting possibility: the modular development may still be ongoing.
As we all know, the Luna Ultra is the first generation of Insta360’s pocketable camera, and as we have discussed, this is just the beginning and not the end. This means Insta360 had multiple modular prototypes even before the official announcement of the current Insta360 Luna Ultra camera, and it clearly indicates that in the near future we may see drastic improvements in the modular functionality of upcoming pocket gimbal cameras.
This opens up an exciting question for the future:
Could future Luna models (Luna Ultra 2 or next-generation versions) bring back more advanced modular features? Think swappable lenses, multiple detachable modules, or even more creative configurations.
If Insta360 continues down this path, Luna might not just be a single camera – it could evolve into a modular ecosystem, similar to how Insta360 previously experimented with the ONE R and its interchangeable lens modules.
Why This Matters
Insta360 didn’t just build another pocket gimbal camera. From the above images its very clear that they spent years developing a modular foundation. The Luna Ultra we have today is the first major product to come out of that effort, and obviously, more are on the way.
These early prototype photos are more than just nostalgia. They show us where Luna came from – and hint at where it might still go.
Insta360 has a history of pushing modular design further than most brands. If they continue developing this direction, the best chapters of the Luna story might still be ahead of us.
What do you think – would you like to see Insta360 bring back deeper modularity in future Luna models (like swappable lenses or more detachable parts)? Let us know in the comments.

Amazon Prime Day already started from June 23, 2026, and as we all know, the DJI Mini 4K has emerged as one of the most popular drones ever released, and more than 3,000 to 4,000 units of the DJI Mini 4K drone are being sold on Amazon USA alone. So, this Prime Day, we are getting an approx 30% price drop over the MSRP price of the Mini 4K drone.
And the best part is because the drone weighs just 246g, it does not require FAA registration or Remote ID for recreational flying. This makes it one of the easiest DJI drones to own and fly legally in the US in 2026.
Important Update: Prime Day deals are already live on Amazon. However, the biggest discounts on the DJI Mini 4K and its bundles are expected to appear within the next few days. We will continue updating the prices in this article as the main deals go live between June 23–26. Check the links below for the latest pricing.
Why the DJI Mini 4K Stands Out in 2026
DJI Mini 4K is said to be one of the most affordable and advanced versions of the Mini series of DJI drones. It has been designed for beginners and weighs under 250g, so it doesn’t require any sort of registration for flying. Other than that, it does deliver high-quality 4K video without spending a fortune.
And the standout key features include a built-in 3-axis gimbal that gives you excellent stable video footage on the go. Whether your drone is moving at high speed or staying stable in the middle, you’re always getting very stable footage, which is really impossible from a budget drone available in the USA. Other than that, we are also getting reliable GPS-assisted flight modes and intelligent shooting modes, all packed in a compact body, and that’s one of the biggest reasons for the higher amount of sales of the DJI Mini 4K drone in the United States of America.
DJI Mini 4K Prime Day Deals – Current Best Options
Here are the top bundles available on Amazon right now. Prices are likely to drop further once Prime Day officially begins.

Recommendation: If you plan to fly regularly, the Fly More Combo usually offers better long-term value, especially when it goes on discount during Prime Day.
DJI Mini 4K – FAA Regulations & Legal Flying in the USA
One of the biggest advantages of the DJI Mini 4K is its weight. At 246g, it falls under the 249g limit. As per current FAA rules in 2026:
- No registration is required for recreational use.
- Remote ID is not mandatory.
- You can fly it in most areas without needing an FAA Remote Pilot Certificate (Part 107).
However, you must still follow standard drone rules:
- Fly below 400 feet
- Keep the drone in your line of sight
- Avoid restricted airspace and airports
- Respect privacy and no-fly zones
This regulatory simplicity makes the Mini 4K especially attractive for beginners and hobbyists in the United States.

Image and Video Quality
The DJI Mini 4K delivers usable 4K footage for social media, YouTube, real estate, and casual content creation. The 3-axis gimbal does a good job of stabilizing footage even in moderate wind.
However, because it uses a smaller 1/2.3-inch sensor, it has limitations:
- Dynamic range is average
- Low-light performance is average (noise increases in dim conditions)
- Colors are decent but not as rich as the Mini 3 or Mini 4 Pro
For daylight shooting and well-lit environments, the Mini 4K performs well for its price. It is noticeably better than most cheap, no-name drones in terms of colour and stabilisation.
Real-World Flight Performance
Most of us in our team have the same DJI Mini 4K drone. Once it’s fully charged, you get approximately 20 to 24 minutes of flight time per battery, depending upon the wind conditions and the flying style. If you opt for this situation, you are getting a drone that handles wind at normal speeds very well and delivers excellent, stable video footage on the go.
But yes, we have to add one thing here: the drone does not have a proper obstacle avoidance mode that we have in the high-end DJI drones. So you have to be more careful while flying near trees, power lines, or in very tight spaces. Yes, but the GPS-assisted Return to Home works reliably very well.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- No FAA registration or Remote ID required in the US
- True 4K video with 3-axis gimbal stabilization
- Compact, foldable, and easy to carry
- Good wind resistance for its class
- Beginner-friendly with intelligent flight modes
- Affordable entry into the DJI ecosystem
Cons:
- No obstacle avoidance sensors
- Average low-light and dynamic range performance
- Real-world flight time is lower than lab rating
- Older O2 transmission system
Who Should Buy the DJI Mini 4K?
The DJI Mini 4K is best suited for:
- Beginners who want their first proper DJI drone
- Content creators and vloggers on a budget
- Real estate agents looking for simple aerial shots
- Travel enthusiasts who want a lightweight drone for trips
- Users who want to avoid FAA registration hassle
If you regularly fly in complex environments or need better low-light performance, consider saving for the DJI Mini 3 or waiting for better deals on the Mini 4 Pro during Prime Day.
Final Verdict – Should You Buy the DJI Mini 4K During Prime Day 2026?
The DJI Mini 4K is one of the best budget 4K drones available in 2026, especially if you can buy it during Prime Day at a discounted price.
It offers the right balance of performance, portability, and legal simplicity for most beginners and casual users in the United States. While it lacks obstacle avoidance and has average low-light capabilities, it delivers solid 4K footage in good lighting conditions at a very reasonable price.
If your budget is under $300 and you want a hassle-free drone experience, the Mini 4K is a strong recommendation during Prime Day.
Pro Tip: The Fly More Combo usually gives the best value when it goes on sale.

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.

Does the Clearance of Avata 2 Stock Mean the Arrival of Avata 360 Drone?
The Avata 360 drone is about to arrive and the announcement is expected anytime soon maybe at the end of February or at the very beginning weeks of the March but again we are still waiting for concrete information lowering the price tag of Avata 2 is not uncommon DJI always run their offers at amazon.com store time to time but from December till now that’s the lowest amount or price that you are paying for the DJI Avata combo so yes it can be a signal for clearing out the shelves and to make the space for new one
Also we have already seen a lot of leaks related to the DJI Avata 360 drone and we are also confirmed over the fact that 360 drone works in two ways that’s the regular FPV style drone and in a 360 mode drone means it’s kind of a 2 in 1 drone coming in a single package and obviously if it’s priced reasonably well then people will going to prefer to buy the 360 instead of Avata 2 without a doubt

Recent leaks suggest the DJI Avata 360 could feature dual 1-inch sensors for 8K 60fps HDR in 360 mode, with a potential US price around $999 for the Fly More Combo. Despite earlier expectations for a February 5, 2026 announcement, delays have pushed it possibly to late February or early March. This drone has cleared FCC approval, making it eligible for US sales amid ongoing restrictions.

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.

At $249 (or $189 with Visa), the DJI Mini 4K is unbeatable at its price point. Other factors to consider:
- Limited Stock – Reports indicate DJI drone inventory can be tight due to US tariffs on Chinese-made products.
- Potential Restrictions – Rumors of tighter US rules make this a timely deal. Sites like B&H and Adorama have seen stock issues; Amazon remains reliable.
- Value for Money – A 4K drone with 31-minute flight time outperforms lower-end models like the DJI Mini 3 at higher prices.
The Mini 4K stands out with 4K video, a lightweight design, ease of use, and budget features. Compared to competitors, it’s exceptional value.
This DJI Mini 4K deal on Amazon USA is a strong opportunity in 2026—act before potential shortages. For more updates on cameras and drones, follow us on social media.

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.

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 |

Key Features |

Why Consider It? |
| Skydio X10 |
