A new accessory leak dropped on September 24, 2026. It is a 2x teleconverter for the already-released DJI Osmo Pocket 4P, mounted on the upper telephoto module rather than the wide-angle lens. The timing is the real headline. Insta360 launched the Luna Ultra Ultra Telephoto Lens on September 21 – a $49.99 magnetic add-on that sits on Luna’s tele module and pushes reach to a claimed 450mm / 22.5x. Three days later, this Pocket 4P render appears doing the same job on DJI’s rival body.
Magnetic 2x converters already existed for DJI’s single-lens Pockets. NEEWER’s LS-84 has been selling for Pocket 3 and Pocket 4. DJI did not invent clip-on zoom last week.
What the Leak Image Actually Shows
The render is a clean black-background product shot, not a warehouse photo or dummy-unit snapshot. That matters. It looks closer to official accessory marketing than a workshop prototype.
Visible details in the image:
- Dual-lens Pocket 4P head — wide module below, telephoto module above, matching the production 4P gimbal layout.
- A 2X-marked converter sitting on the upper (telephoto) lens only, not covering the wide camera.
- The converter sits directly on the front of the 60mm module, which matches the caption.
- No DJI logo is readable on the converter itself in this crop, and there is no packaging, SKU, or price tag.
Did DJI Just Copy Insta360’s Homework?
It looks like they did this time. Three days before this leak, Insta360 officially launched the hardware and firmware for Luna Ultra. That accessory is not a rumor. It is on sale. Pocket 4P vs Luna Ultra has been a copy-and-raise fight all year: dual cameras, 60mm tele, 1-inch wide, log profiles, tracking. When one brand ships a tele converter, the other cannot leave a 120mm hole in the comparison chart.
Why a 2x on the Pocket 4P Tele Module Would Matter
The Pocket 4P already solved the biggest complaint about the standard Pocket 4: the lack of real optical reach. It ships with two cameras.
| Camera |
Pocket 4P Wide |
Pocket 4P Telephoto |
| Sensor |
1-inch CMOS |
1/1.28-inch CMOS |
| Focal length |
20mm equiv., f/2.0 |
60mm equiv., f/1.8 |
| Optical step |
1x |
3x optical |
| Zoom ladder |
2x lossless crop on wide |
6x lossless / 12x digital |
| Log profile |
D-Log 2 (17-stop claim) |
Standard D-Log only |
A true 2x converter on the 60mm module would theoretically push that lens to about 120mm equivalent — a 6x optical step from the 20mm wide camera, before any digital crop. That is a different tool from the 12x digital zoom DJI already advertises. Digital zoom on the 4P starts to soften after 6x. An optical converter, if the glass is decent, would keep more detail at portrait-to-short-tele distances.
Existing third-party 2x converters for Pocket 3 and Pocket 4 clip onto a single wide lens. They cannot sit on the 4P’s separate telephoto barrel without a new mechanical design. If this render is real, it is not just a rebadge of the NEEWER LS-84.
DJI Pocket 4P in USA
United States: The Pocket 4 and Pocket 4P remain blocked from official US sale under the FCC Covered List / NDAA rules. An official DJI accessory would almost certainly follow the same restriction. Luna Ultra and its $50 tele lens are available in the US. That is another reason the “official vs aftermarket” question matters for US readers.
Bottom Line
This is a fresh, single-source leak and not a 100% confirmed DJI announcement. The render is specific enough to take seriously, and the date stamp is impossible to ignore: Insta360 shipped a tele converter on September 21, and a Pocket 4P 2x render appeared on September 24. If it ships and the glass holds up, Pocket 4P owners would get a compact path from 20mm to roughly 120mm without leaning on digital zoom.

Thenewcamera.com Press desk – Antigravity used IFA 2026 in Berlin to announce the Cellular Module for the A1, the Insta360-backed 8K 360 drone already on sale in the United States.
If you fly in US cities, around trees, or anywhere OmniLink starts to sparkle, this is the first A1 accessory that changes the flight — not just the bag. The pitch is simple: keep the 2K goggle feed alive when the regular radio link dies.
Price is still missing. US store listing is still missing. The advantage over a normal drone link is already clear.
What US buyers are actually getting
This is not a new aircraft. It is a two-piece 4G kit for the A1 you can already buy at the official US store, Amazon, Adorama and B&H.
- One module mounts on the drone
- One module mounts on the Vision Goggles
- Both use a built-in eSIM — no Nano-SIM tray, no airport SIM hunt
They run next to OmniLink 360 (2.4 / 5.2 / 5.8 GHz). When buildings, trees or Wi-Fi noise chew the primary link, the system can fail over or split packets onto LTE so control and live view stay up.
That is the whole point versus a regular drone.
Cellular / eSIM vs a regular drone link — the real US advantage
A normal camera drone (Mini, Air, Avata, even the stock A1) lives and dies on one private radio pipe. In an open field that pipe is fine. In the places most American creators actually fly — downtown, suburbs, parks with trees, stadium lots, festival grounds — that pipe is the first thing that fails.
| Situation |
Regular drone (RF only) |
A1 + Cellular / eSIM |
| Open field, no obstacles |
Strong OmniLink / OcuSync-style link |
Same primary link, 4G sitting idle |
| Building, hill or tree line between you and the aircraft |
Live view breaks or goes blocky; you fly blind or RTH |
4G keeps the 2K goggle feed and stick inputs alive |
| Dense 2.4 / 5 GHz Wi-Fi (apartments, campuses, events) |
Interference on the drone band |
LTE sits on a different network; less “everybody’s router is screaming” |
| Travel city to city |
New country / new venue, same RF limits |
eSIM profile in software — no physical SIM swap |
| “Can I legally fly BVLOS now?” |
No |
Still no. 4G is backup, not a FAA waiver |
Three advantages US pilots will actually feel:
- The feed does not die behind a building.
Stock A1 already streams a full 360 view into the goggles. Lose OmniLink and that immersive view is gone. Cellular is the spare tire. You are not getting a second 8K downlink over LTE — live view stays 2K@30fps — but you keep seeing something instead of a frozen frame.
- eSIM is built for travel, not for a drawer full of SIM cards.
Both modules have eSIM inside. Add a US or roaming data plan in software. That is the difference versus older cellular drones that wanted a physical Nano-SIM and a carrier that may or may not like drones. AT&T / T-Mobile / Verizon support is not published yet. Until that list drops, treat “works on any US network” as a hope, not a spec.
- Urban range becomes usable range.
On paper the A1 already quotes 10 km FCC. That number is an empty-field number. In a real US city the useful OmniLink distance is much shorter. 4G does not magically give you 10 km through Manhattan. It does let you keep the aircraft when you duck behind a garage, a stand of trees, or a parking garage wall — the exact moment regular drones go mute.
What it does not give you:
- Legal BVLOS. Recreational US rules still want visual line of sight. Goggles still mean a spotter.
- Better 8K files. Those still record on the drone.
- Proof that latency over LTE will feel as tight as OmniLink. Antigravity has not published the lag number.
Price — still blank
Antigravity did not put a dollar figure on the module at IFA. European list price and eSIM plan costs were promised “in the coming weeks.” End of September 2026 is the ship window.
Until the US product page goes live, ignore random Twitter numbers.
Current A1 drone street pricing in the US (module not included):
| Bundle |
List |
Street (mid-September 2026) |
| Standard |
$1,599 |
about $1,199–$1,359 |
| Explorer |
$1,899 |
about $1,519–$1,609 |
| Infinity |
$1,999 |
about $1,599–$1,699 |
Buy the aircraft today if you want the 360 rig. Do not pay a scalper for a 4G kit that is not in the US catalog yet.
US availability
Cellular Module: not listed anywhere in the US yet. IFA was a Europe-first reveal. The module is its own radio, so it needs its own FCC grant plus working eSIM profiles on US carriers. That is why it will not show up on Amazon the morning after Berlin.
Watch:
- antigravity.tech/us
- Amazon / Adorama / B&H accessory pages
- pr@antigravity.tech for the carrier list
Should a US buyer wait?
Wait for three things before you click buy:
- USD price
- Confirmed AT&T / T-Mobile / Verizon eSIM support
- Extra weight — two modules plus antennas may push a standard-battery A1 closer to the 250 g line that triggers registration and Remote ID
If you already own the A1 and fly around buildings, this is the accessory that matches how Americans actually use the drone. If you only fly open parks, OmniLink is enough and you can skip the monthly data bill.
We will update this page the minute the US SKU, price and carrier list land.

How about a pocket gimbal camera with a 100MP Micro Four Thirds format sensor to access as much quality as possible at the same time, with the same 100MP Micro Four Thirds sensor camera with a gimbal head that not only stabilises your shot in a very unique way, but is primarily built for content creators to solve their quality and mobility issues.
Well, the world is about to change dramatically since after the popularity of DJI Pocket gimbal cameras, a lot of camera makers as well as smartphone makers have entered into the race, and now we have cameras like Insta360 Luna Ultra, which is obviously one of my favourite gimbal cameras as of now, and I am using it for more than two months, creating content for my channel. At the same time, not only DJI, but other brands like HONOR have also entered the smartphone pocket gimbal camera world; based on the latest set of information, HONOR is also interested in announcing a standalone gimbal camera like the DJI Pocket. Other than that, based on the previous year’s report, OPPO has been intensively testing their prototypes of pocket gimbal cameras, and they are about to release them next year.
LEAPTIC (Leptic) is Dreame’s camera brand. President Yuan Qian, formerly P&G and vivo, built it with CTO Yang Sheng, Dreame employee No. 23. Parent: Dreame, founder Yu Hao.
They already sell one working camera — LEAPTIC Cube, a 56 g 8K thumb cam in China since May 2026, West from October at €399 / $449.
That is the short intro. The IFA 2026 story is the upcoming gimbal line: a pocket gimbal that claims a large Micro Four Thirds sensor, and a retractable mirrorless gimbal.
Same clock as Cube, one year later. Cube was first shown at IFA 2025 and went on sale in China in 2026. These IFA concepts were first shown in 2026. If they keep that gap, the gimbals go on sale in China in 2027.
When the gimbals could actually reach shops
| Stage |
Cube (done) |
IFA gimbals (this week’s prototypes) |
| First booth |
IFA 2025 |
IFA 2026 |
| Named debut + price |

CES Jan 2027 — if they copy the script |
| China sale |
2026 |
2027 |
| West sale |
Oct 2026 |
late 2027 |
So the planning line is simple. Timeline here:
- 2026 = show year for the pocket / M/3 / mirrorless gimbals
- 2027 = first year you might buy one in China
- West usually follows China by a few months → autumn 2027 abroad
That is best case. A physical gimbal is harder than Cube (motors, heat, claimed MFT glass). If CES 2027 is still unnamed mock-ups, China slips to late 2027 and the West to 2028. There is no gimbal SKU in 2026.
Watch CES Las Vegas, January 2027.
The upcoming cameras M4/3 Gimbal Cameras
Four concept bodies were on the Berlin stand. All use a physical gimbal. Three are tall-handle Pocket clones. One hides the gimbal inside a compact body. None have a price. PCMag treated them as concepts that may never all ship.
Pocket gimbal with large M/3 sensor — Cinema model
Stand card:
- Micro Four Thirds compatible
- 100 megapixels
- 3nm AI chip
- Variable aperture
- Single large lens, ProRes promised
If the M/3 chip is real, this is not another phone-sensor Pocket. If is doing a lot of work. Dreame has not named the sensor. Xiaomi showed a 100MP Type 4/3 “Light Fusion X” phone module in 2025 – same format class, not a confirmed shared chip. Do not write that LEAPTIC is using Xiaomi’s sensor.
Mirrorless gimbal prototype
Same claimed internals, different shell.
- Compact “mirrorless” body
- Same M/3 + 100MP + 3nm + variable aperture claims
- Gimbal retracts into the body
This is the screenshot prototype. It is also the hardest to manufacture.
Three-lens pocket gimbal
- Ultra-wide to super-tele on one handle
- 16–800mm equivalent claimed
- Tele module 200MP claimed
- AI ambient light sensor, large display
Luna Ultra silhouette. The 16–800mm and 200MP tele lines are booth numbers until a production chart exists.
Two-lens entry gimbal
- Compact dual camera
- 4nm chip
- Two lenses, wide range
If only one prototype becomes a 2027 product, this is the likely one.
Yuan Qian has already said handheld gimbals / 云台微单 are on the roadmap, on the same app as Cube. The category is intended. These four shells are not a catalogue.
LEAPTIC Cube is the only finished product and already available for sale
Bottom line
Shown 2025 → sold China 2026 was Cube.
We do personally believe this is not just a show-off. Since the founder of the company has already launched a working camera in China, and now they are planning to introduce a series of pocket gimbal cameras to hit the core of the market where the maximum consumer base exists, with the highest quality possible and with a nominal price range. Since the manufacturing unit/production line will remain in China to cut down the production cost.
CES 2027 event will bring more live details to the topic at the very same time. Canon, Nikon, and Sony scale/upgrade their approach and reconsider and rethink about what consumers are actually looking for in a camera right now, specifically for content creation, we have seen Canon is actively working on their pocket series, gimbal camera, and they have applied a patent for it also, but as usual, Canon moves at its own pace and it will take approximately 2 to 3 years that their pocket gimbal camera is coming now earlier than 2027.
Other than that, it would be highly interesting to see what LEAPTIC makers can offer us out of the box.

By admin, on September 3rd, 2026  We have just received a fresh confirmation from a source regarding Nikon’s long-rumoured professional APS-C camera.
According to the latest information shared with us, Nikon’s pro-level APS-C / DX camera is now lined up for a September 2026 announcement. The same source also said that no other Nikon camera announcement is expected this year besides this one.
That last part is important. Nikon has already gone through 2026 without launching a new interchangeable-lens body; they are too busy in … (yes, we do have information that will be revealed soon).
This update is 100% accurate; the professional APS-C camera is the one product Nikon is holding back for later this month. Production Line body sent to pros, and more bodies are about to be sent to infulencers before the 2nd week of Sep.
The source was hesitant about the name
The source used the name. Keep the name Nikon Z90. As usual, since he is also deeply connected with Nikon, hesitated before sharing details.
That matches what we have been seeing for months.
For a long time, this camera has been circulating under different names:
- Nikon Z90
- Nikon Z70
- Nikon Z80
- Nikon Z500
- Mini-Z9 / Mini-ZR / D500 successor
As we all know, that the Z70 name became much stronger after Apple briefly listed an unreleased Nikon Z70 on its official ProRes / ProRes RAW authorised products page in August. That listing was later removed.
So we are treating this as a professional APS-C Nikon Z-mount body coming in September-October 2026, not as a locked official name. Z90 is the name the source used. Z70 is still the name with the strongest public leak so far.
What kind of camera is this?
This is not another Z50 II or Z30-class body.
The camera being described is Nikon’s flagship APS-C / DX model — the one D500 users have been waiting for since Nikon moved fully into mirrorless.
Based on the current rumor picture, this is expected to sit clearly above the existing DX lineup:
- Professional APS-C body
- High-speed shooting
- Strong autofocus
- Built more like a compact Z8 / mini-Z9 than a beginner DX camera
- Video features closer to the ZR family
Nikon still has no true flagship APS-C mirrorless camera. Canon already has the R7 class, and Sony has the A6700 class. That gap is exactly why this rumor has never died.
Lenses are also in the pipeline
The same source confirmed that lenses are also in the pipeline.
That part is easier to believe. Nikon already added two important DX lenses in late 2025:
- NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/2.8 VR
- NIKKOR Z DX MC 35mm f/1.7
A professional APS-C body only makes sense if Nikon also has more DX glass coming behind it. We expect at least some additional DX lenses to be tied to this launch, even if Nikon does not announce the full lens set on the same day.
Why September makes sense
A September window has already been floating around for this camera. Nikon has also scheduled server maintenance on September 15, which rumor sites usually watch closely because those windows often sit near product announcements.
If the source is right, this could be the first real Nikon body announcement of 2026.
TNC Take
We are more confident about the product than the name.
A professional APS-C Nikon camera in September 2026 now looks very possible. The source saying “this is the only Nikon announcement left this year” also fits Nikon’s unusually quiet 2026 calendar.
Until Nikon publishes the press release, we will keep calling it Nikon’s pro APS-C camera, with Z90 as the name used by the source and Z70 as the strongest leaked designation so far.
Stay tuned. If September is the month, we should not have to wait much longer.
Stay Tuned. Stay Updated.

Finally, the pocket gimbal camera is here, and many users are getting it since it has a completely different appeal, while those who were planning to buy a gimbal camera have been waiting. They were confused. Should they buy it or not? Now they are willing to buy the entire package since this smartphone already has a pocket gimbal built-in.
Honour already sells a smartphone with a real moving camera arm. Ten days later, a top Chinese leaker said Honor also wants a standalone handheld gimbal camera – the shape that made DJI Osmo Pocket a default vlog tool. One of those products is shipping. The other is still a secret. Do not mix them up.
That couple poster is teaser art. Caption: 荣耀云台相机. Portuguese line: “Psst… temos um segredo para te contar.” Translation: we have a secret to tell you. The hardware in the frame is a handle + tilting head + red record button. That is Pocket language. That is not Robot Phone.
The market is on fire.
Obviously, after the DJI Pocket gimbal series, vlogging cameras have created a new consumer base and become one of the most popular content creation tools of all time. Now every company wants to try their hands on the Pocket gimbal camera series. Recently, Insta360 has introduced 2 brand-new Pocket gimbal cameras, which include the Luna Ultra as well as the Luna Pro. Other than that, OPPO and vivo are building vlog cameras. Honor just walked into that war with a phone. The leak says it may walk in again with a camera.
The poster is lying if you read it too fast
荣耀云台相机 means “Honor gimbal camera.” That phrase covers two products. Only one exists.
Robot Phone is a 6.3-inch slab. The camera lives in the rear island. It unfolds, tracks, then folds shut.
The poster shows a silver vertical handle, a small front screen, a red rec key, a camera head that tilts like Osmo Pocket. If you publish that image as Robot Phone, you are wrong. If you publish it as a confirmed Honor Pocket, you are also wrong. It is a rumor visual. Treat it as smoke, not a spec sheet.
Why this category is no longer a toy
It looks like the sale of Honor Robot Phone has completely changed the perspective of Honor towards their future product-line strategy, and due to the massive popularity and sales, they have decided to finally enter DJI’s territory by introducing a standalone Pocket gimbal camera with one of the most advanced feature sets for content creators possible.
What Honor would have to beat or lose on day one – Bottom line
Honor is already a gimbal-camera company. Robot Phone is not a concept. It ships. The arm moves. The price is brutal. The color science is the flex.
The next question is colder: will Honor also sell a jacket-pocket camera so you do not have to carry a 248 g phone to get that arm? Digital Chat Station said yes. The poster whispered “secret.” Honor has said nothing.
Until there is a name, a spec table, and a date — Robot Phone is news. The standalone camera is a rumor.
Quoted: the IT Home Chinese sentence and the poster’s Portuguese line. Everything else is condensed from Honor and launch coverage. Standalone specs: unconfirmed as of 1 September 2026.

By admin, on August 30th, 2026 Image of DJI International page – to be uploaded on Sep 3 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 |

| FCC authorization |
Yes — FCC ID 2ANDR-OQ0022512, granted 21 Dec 2025 |

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.
DJI OSMO 360 II listed on Amazon.com
That $1,999 Amazon listing is not the US price
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.
The Date Americans Should Circle

Why a US buyer cares |
| 2 Sep 2026, 21:00 JST |
DJI Japan on-sale time |
First non-China storefront with a public clock |
| 3 Sep 2026, 7:00 AM EDT |
DJI teaser/event |
4:00 AM Pacific / 7:00 AM New York. This is the US-facing timestamp |
| 3 Sep 2026 |
25% Section 232 tariff on imported drones starts |
Osmo 360 II is a camera, not a drone. Tariff should not hit it the same way Mini 5 Pro does. Still a messy week at customs |
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.

By admin, on August 29th, 2026 
Insta360 is selling a lot of cameras, but they are not able to generate as much profit as they made in the previous year. And believe me, the sales are quite high, which means the numbers are more and higher, but the profit has reached its lowest point, specifically when compared to the previous year’s first-half profit.
Insta360, listed in China as 影石创新 (688775.SH), published its first-half 2026 report on the evening of 27 August. The headline is simple: the company sold a lot more cameras and made almost no money.
That is really a big contrast. We are going to explain this situation in this article in a detailed way, so let’s begin.
than Keep in mind that these profit figures and sales numbers are before the Luna Ultra and Luna Pro announcements. These two announcements hit differently and have become two of the top-selling pocket gimbal cameras in most stores across the United States of America. Since the DJI Pocket 4 Pro has now been banned not only in the USA, but the Asian market is also very keen towards the new Ultra. So, the second-half sales numbers will be quite a bit different than the first half.
1. The numbers check out
The figures circulating after the report match the official filing.
For January–June 2026, Insta360 reported:
- Revenue: RMB 5.517 billion, up 50.29% year on year
- Net profit attributable to shareholders: RMB 30.41 million, down 94.15%
- Profit excluding non-recurring items: a loss of RMB 15.34 million, down 103.12%
- Operating cash flow: an outflow of RMB 2.761 billion, down 1,245.12%
- Weighted average ROE: 0.53%
- Basic and diluted EPS: RMB 0.08, down 94.41%
Exact filing amounts were RMB 5,516,546,762.11 of revenue and RMB 30,407,322.67 of attributable net profit. Media outlets rounded revenue to 55.17亿元. Caixin, IT之家, 证券时报 and MarketScreener all reprinted the same set.
The company is still growing on the top line. Profit and cash generation are not.
2. How much profit did they actually make?
The graph clearly shows the **profit **they made in the first half of 2026, and it is quite disappointing, but we believe profit after the introduction of the new series will be different. But for that, we have to wait until March 2027
2026 is not finished. The only audited window so far is the first six months. In that period, shareholders of the listed company were attributed about RMB 30.4 million. At recent rates that is roughly $4.5 million, or about ₹43 crore.
Put beside sales, that profit is tiny. Revenue was about ₹7,840 crore. The company kept about half a percent of sales as attributable net profit.
Even that ₹43 crore overstates the quality of earnings.
- After stripping one-off items, H1 was a loss of about RMB 15.3 million (~₹22 crore).
- The whole group, including minority partners, lost about RMB 94 million.
- Pre-tax profit was a loss of about RMB 90 million.
The parent company can show a small profit while the group loses money because some new businesses — notably early-stage lines such as panoramic drones — booked large losses that were allocated to minority shareholders.
The year also split in two. Q1 still made about RMB 85 million. Q2 lost about RMB 54 million. Insta360 went from “growing but less profitable” to its first quarterly loss since listing in a single quarter.
3. Profit did not rise versus last year. It collapsed.
The clean comparison is first half versus first half.

H1 2025 |

₹739 crore |

−₹696 crore |

They made about 6% of last year’s first-half profit. Sales were up by half. Profit was down by nineteen-twentieths.
Full-year 2026 profit is still unknown. The 2025 annual profit was much larger — on the order of RMB 929 million — but that is last year’s completed result, not this year’s.
4. Did they just cut prices to buy market share?
Price competition is part of the story. It is not the whole story.
Well, there’s one of the most important parts of this article. According to their own text from the official source of information, Gross margin fell by about 10 percentage points, to roughly 41% from about 51%, which is very low compared to what they should have to generate to make a lot of money. One of the major reasons behind that is the cheap, competitive products available in the market that they have to compete with. Yes, we are talking about DJI, one of the strongest alternatives and a bigger brand than Insta360.
Although DJI is now banned in the USA, and Insta360 has a big relief over that, that’s why we are saying the second half of the results will be quite a bit different. But right now, other than that, Insta360 has also added pocket gimbal series cameras to its portfolio, so it is going to boost the overall sales record of the company.
Other reasons Why Insta 360 Profit is down:
- Memory chips got expensive. Cameras need a lot of storage. Chip prices stayed high. Insta360 also spent nearly RMB 2 billion buying chips ahead of time. That was a supply bet. It also drained cash and hurt near-term profit.
- They spent heavily to build the next product cycle. R&D was about RMB 1.04 billion, almost 19% of sales. New categories, especially panoramic drones, are still in the spend-first stage.
- Mix changed. More new lines and accessories can dilute the old, fatter 360-camera margins.
So the H1 picture is not “they dumped cameras cheap, and that is all.” It is some price and promotion pressure + much higher component costs + a large investment bill. That combination can produce exactly this result: revenue up 50%, profit almost gone, cash flow deeply negative.
5. Why Ultra and Pro make the next chapter different — and why they do not settle it yet
The H1 report is a poor snapshot of the product line Insta360 is selling now.
- Luna Ultra, the 8K Leica dual-lens gimbal camera, launched on 10 June 2026. H1 includes only about three weeks of Ultra sales.
- X6, the new flagship 360 camera, launched on 12 August.
- Luna Pro, the 4K vertical gimbal camera, launched on 20 August.
X6 and Pro are not in the H1 accounts at all.
Launch demand for Ultra was real. It sold out in minutes on Chinese platforms. The white version vanished quickly in Japan. There were queues. It reached bestseller lists and later appeared in a Costco bundle in the United States. Insta360 also kept Ultra off the main summer discount event, which is usually a sign that management wants to protect flagship price.
The honest split is this:
- H1 = old mix + a short Ultra burst + expensive chips + heavy investment.
- H2 = Ultra in volume + X6 + Pro, still against the same cost and competition problems.
Insta360’s verified H1 2026 result is not a mystery. It sold about RMB 5.52 billion of product and attributed only RMB 30 million of profit to shareholders. Core operations lost a little money. Cash flowed out by RMB 2.76 billion. Versus the same period last year, profit fell 94%.
That is consistent with a company paying up for chips, spending on R&D and new categories, and fighting DJI for share. It is not proof that the business is broken, and it is not proof that Ultra and Pro have already fixed it.
The next story is narrower: can the new gimbal and 360 lineup turn demand into margin, or will H2 repeat the same pattern — more sales, almost no profit? The H1 report cannot answer that. The October quarter can.
