So we have the two NEW PRO pocket gimbal cameras, which are coming straightaway in the next few weeks, and specifically, the users are very much excited about the DJI Pocket 4 PRO as well as they are for the Luna Ultra camera.
If you feel or are thinking it’s really hard to decide which camera you should buy, then we have created a specification comparison where you can get a very clear idea, depending upon the pricing, as well as the core specifications of both the handheld gimbal pocket cameras, to find the best camera for you.
The most important factor, if you are living in the United States of America, then obviously there is a very hard chance for the DJI Pocket 4 Pro camera to appear in online or offline stores across the United States of America. For that, we have to wait for Xtra Muse Pro2. They set the features and all the goodness of the Pocket 4 Pro camera inside it, with some additional twist in the display screen design of the camera.
We’re using the exact spec sheets you’ve probably already seen (the clean infographics floating around since NAB and Cannes) — they’re remarkably accurate based on hands-on prototypes and early official leaks. Here’s the no-BS, side-by-side breakdown.

Key Differences Explained
- Zoom Reach – Insta360 Wins by a Mile
The Luna Ultra’s longer ~70mm tele + true 6x lossless zoom is the killer feature. DJI’s 3x optical on the Pocket 4P feels limiting the moment you step back for a clean portrait or compressed background. If you shoot travel vlogs, street, or events where you can’t always get close, the Insta360 is noticeably more versatile right now.
- Creative Control – DJI’s Variable Aperture is a Pro Move
DJI gives you real aperture blades (f/1.7–f/2.8). That means shallow depth-of-field without ND filters and better exposure flexibility in changing light. Insta360’s fixed bright aperture is great for low light but less flexible for cinematic work. US hybrid shooters who grade in DaVinci or Premiere will appreciate the extra control.
- Color Science & Look
Leica tuning on the Luna Ultra = punchy, filmic, high-contrast look straight out of camera.
Hasselblad Natural Color on the Pocket 4P = more accurate skin tones and realistic rendition (DJI’s long-time strength).
Both do excellent 10-bit log. Real tests will decide, but neither is “bad.”
- Modularity & Future-Proofing
Insta360’s detachable lens/gimbal head is genuinely new for this category. You can use the handle as a wireless remote or swap lenses later. DJI is the more “finished” product today, but Insta360 feels like the one that will evolve.
- The Giant USA Elephant in the Room: Availability & Warranty
This is the biggest practical difference for American buyers.
- Insta360 Luna Ultra → Ships worldwide, full US warranty, easy returns on Amazon/B&H.
- DJI Osmo Pocket 4P → Standard Pocket 4 is available, but the Pro (4P) dual-lens version has serious FCC/Covered List complications. Many US buyers are stuck with grey-market imports that void warranty and have no official support. If you value peace of mind and easy returns, the Luna Ultra is the safer (and currently more available) choice.
Who Should Buy Which?
Buy the Insta360 Luna Ultra if you:
- Want maximum optical zoom reach
- Love the idea of a modular system that could grow with you
- Shoot a lot of travel, events, or portraits where compression matters
- Want immediate US availability and full warranty
- Prefer Leica’s cinematic look
Buy the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P if you:
- Prioritize variable aperture and creative exposure control
- Already live in the DJI ecosystem (Mavic, Ronin, etc.)
- Value ActiveTrack 7.0 for run-and-gun subject following
- Are okay hunting grey-market deals or waiting for possible official channels
- Love Hasselblad’s more neutral color science
Our Verdict – The Best Camera for You
Right now, as we all know, if you are living in the United States of America, the only option you have is the Insta360 Luna Ultra. But if you’re not in the United States of America and already part of the DJI ecosystem, the Pocket 4 Pro is obviously the best choice for you.
But again, if you are completely new and looking for a gimbal camera, then obviously the Insta360 Luna Ultra gives you more freedom with a remote control and attachable display screen, for which you have to pay extra in the DJI Pocket 4 Pro gimbal camera. Specifically, I am talking about the additional frame and tap remote controller.
Both cameras are massive leaps over the single-lens pockets of the past. The dual-lens era is finally here, and Insta360 just delivered the version that feels more future-proof for US buyers.
What do you think? Drop your choice in the comments — Luna Ultra or Pocket 4P? We’ll update this article with full side-by-side footage tests the moment both are in our hands.
Specs based on official early materials and trusted leaks as of May 23, 2026. Real-world image quality tests coming soon.

Xtra Muse 2 and Xtra Muse 2 Pro are coming with a slightly different design than what we have seen in the DJI 4 or the 4 Pro camera, and the main difference is visible in the display screen of the camera, which can be shifted to the extreme left or to the extreme right side of the camera as per the user’s requirement.
This detail about the new kind of display screen was revealed by the Xtra Camera official page an hour ago.

What’s New on the Xtra Muse 2 & 2 Pro
Well, if we look at the text of the Xtra written in their Xtra official handle, it calls the refresh “Made to Feel XTRA Comfortable” and it focuses on two practical improvements creators have been asking for:
- Dual-Side Flip Touchscreen: The articulating screen features a very unique design-wise flip-out display, accessible from either side of the camera. Whether you’re shooting traditional vlogs selfie-style or framing from the rear (great for run-and-gun or third-person shots), you get instant, accurate framing without awkward angles while using sing hand, Well, that’s a perfect companion for pros who do daily life vlogs.
- Integrated Ergonomic Grip. Instead of an add-on accessory, the new built-in grip is molded directly into the body. This gives the Xtra Muse 2 series a cleaner, more premium look while delivering significantly better handheld comfort for long shooting sessions.
The official post also gives a shoutout to designer @createbeyondboundarie for helping perfect the naming and overall feel.
Why These Changes Matter for Creators
Yes, pls keep in mind while reading this port, these aren’t flashy spec bumps – they’re the kind of thoughtful aka design upgrade and refinements already DONE in their upcoming camera, that make a pocket camera actually enjoyable to use all day.
- Faster framing in any orientation
- More stable and comfortable grip (less fatigue during travel vlogs, events, or street shooting)
- Cleaner design with fewer loose accessories
This update builds directly on the earlier teasers that already promised a 2-way/bi-directional screen. Today’s reveal confirms the final execution and shows Xtra is listening closely to real-world feedback.
(Full detailed specs and pricing from our earlier report → Xtra Muse 2 Pro: Specifications, Pricing, and U.S. Arrival Date)
How Does It Compare to DJI Osmo Pocket Series?
With the new dual-side screen and built-in grip, the Xtra Muse 2 series is closing the comfort gap even further against the current DJI Pocket lineup. Many U.S. creators are already eyeing the Muse 2 Pro as the most practical “DJI Pocket 4 Pro alternative” available stateside this summer.
Bottom line: If you already own DJI ECO system-based mics etc, and are waiting for the next big pocket vlogging camera that’s actually comfortable to shoot with for hours, today’s update makes the Xtra Muse 2 / 2 Pro even more compelling.
We’ll update this page the moment Xtra drops full specs, pricing, or pre-order details. Expected U.S. launch remains June–July 2026.
What do you think? Is the dual-side flip screen and built-in grip enough to make you choose the Xtra Muse 2 over the competition? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!

Insta360 online pre-orders began on May 18, 2026, at 18:00. In mainland China, this clearly indicates that the global announcement of the camera will happen soon, within one or two weeks from now, and will also soon become available for pre-order in major USA-based retail outlets.
If you’ve been following thenewcamera.com (our website), we are covering the Insta360 Luna (from NAB 2026 hands-on previews to the recent US pricing shock), and we have also published the unboxing video of the Luna Ultra on our website. This is the moment the hype turns real. While global pre-orders are still weeks away, the China-exclusive campaign offers serious perks that could influence early availability and even grey-market strategies.
In this detailed guide, we break down exactly what the pre-order bundle includes in the package and what it means for buyers outside China. (Means in the United States of America and other countries)
Pre-Order Details: How It Works Right Now
We are just putting all the details here to make the entire article more authentic, and if someone is really interested in getting one in China, they can surely have it. But, we do know in USA, people ware waiting for Luna Ultra’s official debut, to get their hands on the Dual-Lens camera setup asap.
The Luna (Luna Series Blind Booking Campaign) is live on official channels only:
- Insta360 official mall
- Tmall flagship store
- JD.com
- Douyin (TikTok China)
- Authorized offline stores across mainland China
Entry Cost: Just ¥99 (fully refundable deposit).
This is not the final payment, but as usual, it preserves your space in getting one – it simply locks in your qualification token amount for the exclusive benefits. You’ll be notified later to complete the balance once full pricing and stock are confirmed.
Campaign Status (as of May 21, 2026): Still open and expected to run until further notice or until first-batch allocation fills up.
And the best Part is that those who are pre-ordering the INSTA360 LUNA ULTRA are getting lot of free stuff and plans specifically arranged for the first lot of pre-orders. Chinese makers always do so to attract the vast majority of early onset buyers during the product release
Blind Pre-Order Perks (100% Confirmed)
Here’s exactly what you get by joining the blind pre-order:
- Raffle for ¥448 Care Worry-Free Plan + Gimbal Accessory Limited-quantity prize draw. Winners receive a one-year comprehensive replacement plan plus a premium gimbal accessory/service package. Activates only after final payment.
- “I Want the Current Model” Li Xian Limited Collectible Card Say or enter the code phrase “I want the current model” or “I want the pre-order/current version”) in the order notes (online) or tell the staff in-store. This unlocks the exclusive Li Xian limited-edition collectible card — a brand ambassador tie-in with high collector value. Note: This is the blind-pre-order-specific design, different from the regular first-sale version.
- Priority First-Batch Pickup/Shipping Rights Earliest access to the initial production run (expected shipping June 2026). Order sequence determines delivery priority.
- 1-on-1 Expert Guided Tutorial Free personalized session (in-store or online) covering setup, Insta360 App integration, shooting modes, and advanced features.
- First-Batch New Product Qualification Guaranteed spot in the launch wave before general sale.
Important: All perks are for mainland China only, and not for the United States of America or any other Global or Asian Countries. Also, people from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and international buyers are not eligible for this campaign.
China Pricing vs International Pricing: The Big Contrast
Insta360 CEO Liu Jingkang has publicly confirmed that China domestic pricing will be significantly lower than overseas MSRP to subsidize the home market.
- Rumored China pricing (post-CEO clarification): Expected to be aggressive and competitive with DJI Osmo Pocket 4/Pro.
- US/EU pricing (confirmed by CEO): – Luna Ultra body-only: ~$780 USD – Full Creator Bundle/Kit: ~$960 USD
This regional pricing strategy has already sparked major discussion (see our earlier article: Insta360 Luna Ultra US Pricing Shock).
Early blind pre-order participants in China could end up with the best value — especially if they plan to import or resell.
USA and Global Launch Timeline: What International Buyers Should Do
- Expected global pre-order/launch: Late May to early June 2026
- No official English-language pre-order page yet on insta360.com
- Watch for announcements on the global store
If you’re outside China and want the best deal, options include:
- Waiting for official global release
- Monitoring grey-market imports (with warranty risks)
- Using the China blind pre-order perks via a buying agent (advanced users only)
We do believe the latest, marketing done by INSTA360 for The Insta360 Luna blind pre-order is a smart hype-building move that rewards early China-based fans with real value and collectables. For global creators, it’s the clearest signal yet that the official launch is imminent.

The Insta360 pocket gimbal camera is on the verge of its announcement, but people are confused about its pricing. Now everything was going perfectly till the company’s founder and CEO, Liu Jingkang, directly addressed the leaked pricing on Weibo, confirming that the rumoured figures are real… but only for the US and international markets.
According to the CEO’s post (widely shared on Reddit’s r/dji and Chinese social media), the Luna Ultra will carry a noticeably higher price tag outside China. He stated (rough translation):
“People online are saying Luna is too expensive. The rumoured online pricing is real, but that’s the US price. I wouldn’t dare to sell it at that price range in China. Hope people don’t misunderstand.”
Obviously, these Chinese products have to pay hefty taxes in other countries around the world, so they have no option but to pass the burden of extra taxes onto the consumers who are buying the product.
Confirmed US Pricing
- Luna Ultra Body Only — ~$780 USD
- Luna Ultra Full Creator Bundle / Kit — ~$960 USD
These are the official prices American buyers can expect. Early grey-market leaks floated $560–$620 ranges, but the CEO has now made it crystal clear that those lower figures do not apply to the US market. Yes, they have limited to the Chinese market.
The Pricing in the Chinese Market is expected to remain low, very similar to the data we have from Chinese retailers, which we have published earlier
Earlier pre-sale leaks from Chinese suppliers had the Luna Ultra hovering around $560–$620 during early listings. The CEO’s clarification suggests those lower figures were likely China-specific or promotional, while global buyers will pay a premium.
Obviously, the DJI Pocket 4 Pro is not available in the United States of America due to FCC-related issues regarding the dual-lens-based pocket gimbal camera. Insta360 Luna has a golden opportunity for now, but as per the initial set of reports, the DJI Pocket 4 Pro is being rebranded and will soon become available in the United States market under the name Xtra Music Pro 2, which we had earlier mentioned in one of our published posts.
Quick Specs Recap: Why the Price Tag?
The Insta360 Luna Ultra isn’t just another pocket camera — it’s positioned as a premium creator tool:
- Dual Leica Summicron lenses (20mm main f/1.8 + 120mm telephoto)
- 1-inch 50MP CMOS sensor (main camera) + secondary 1/1.3-inch tele sensor
- True optical zoom (up to ~3.9x) + 6x lossless / 12x hybrid zoom
- 8K video support, 10-bit iLog, Dolby Vision HDR
- Detachable OLED touchscreen that doubles as a wireless remote controller
- Advanced 3-axis gimbal + FlowState stabilization
- AI tracking, Hi-Fi 48kHz 32-bit audio, modular design elements
It’s clearly gunning for the high-end segment of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 / Pocket 4 Pro crowd.
The Big Question for American Buyers
Will the Leica tuning, true dual-lens zoom, and detachable remote screen be worth the hefty US premium over DJI’s ecosystem? Or will most US creators stick with the more wallet-friendly (and widely available) Osmo Pocket 4 series? Or maybe we should wait for Xtramuse 2 PRO camera for a reasonable pricing-based option…
Drop your take below:
Are you buying the Insta360 Luna Ultra at these US prices, waiting for a sale, or going DJI instead?
What do you think? Is the Insta360 Luna Ultra worth the extra cost for its Leica optics and modular design, or will you wait for DJI’s next move? Drop your thoughts in the comments below.
We’ll keep you updated with the official global launch pricing, India availability, and hands-on impressions as soon as they drop.

BREAKING: DJI Pocket 4 PRO with 3x Optical Zoom Drops – Full US Release and FCC Ban Update
By admin, on May 15th, 2026
So finally, DJI has announced the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P / PRO camera. The camera was officially announced on May 14, 2026, and obviously, based on the design, functionality, and the features of the camera, most of the audience of The New Camera.com already know it has positioned itself as a professional filmmaking/cinematography camera for content creators. Those who want to have a handheld gimbal-style, small, tiny pocket camera with amazing cinematography capability.
Critical update for American readers: As we know that, the standard Osmo Pocket 4 was released in April 2026, the new Osmo Pocket 4P is not expected to launch officially in the United States due to ongoing FCC authorization issues and the broader DJI Covered List restrictions. Despite the fact that we do know it’s not a drone, but yes, official US sales channels (DJI.com, Amazon US, B&H, Adorama, etc.) are highly unlikely to carry it at launch. If Any Update arrives about its arrival in the USA, we will be updating asap.
Why US Availability Is Blocked (Straight Talk for American Creators)
We all know initially it all started with the drone ban, but the situation has gone too far, and after approval by the FCC in late November and December 2025, both the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 and DJI Osmo Pocket 4P are not available for now in the United States of America. Some claims have been raised, and it is that the last 10 to 15 products which have been approved by the FCC are now facing issues becoming available in the USA.
So for now, take a look at what we know so far about the availability of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P camera.
- US Release Date: No official US launch window
- Buy in USA: Gray-market imports possible (e.g., via forwarders from Europe/Asia), but expect no warranty, potential customs delays, and compliance risks
- Current Recommendation: Many US creators are sticking with the still-excellent Osmo Pocket 3 or waiting to see if any legal changes occur
If you’re a US-based YouTuber, vlogger, or indie filmmaker searching for “DJI Pocket 4P US release” or “buy Osmo Pocket 4P in America,” this is the reality right now.
Features of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 PRO
This is the biggest upgrade in Pocket history — a true dual-camera cinematic pocket gimbal:
- Dual-camera system — 1-inch main CMOS sensor (wide ~20mm equivalent) + dedicated 3x optical telephoto (~70mm equivalent)
- True optical zoom — seamless switching with no heavy cropping
- 10-bit D-Log2 color — Hasselblad-tuned for professional grading
- Cinematic dynamic range — early leaks suggest up to 17 stops + HDR support
- 3-axis mechanical gimbal + ActiveTrack 7.0 — buttery stabilization
- Improved low-light performance and natural skin tones for portraits/interviews
- Rotatable touchscreen, 4-channel OsmoAudio, and premium build
Rumored video specs (based on consistent pre-launch info):
- 6K/60fps or 4K/240fps
- Up to 12x hybrid zoom
- 107–128 GB built-in storage (no microSD in most reports)

What This Means for US Filmmakers & Content Creators
The dual-lens system (wide + flattering 3x telephoto) is a game-changer for portraits, compressed backgrounds, and flexible storytelling — exactly what Hollywood-adjacent and indie creators have wanted. Unfortunately, the FCC situation means most Americans will have to decide between:
- Importing at your own risk
- Sticking with the Osmo Pocket 3 (still widely available and excellent)
- Waiting for any potential policy changes

Canon just dropped a massive announcement today of the long-rumoured Canon V camera, a camera cinematography powerhouse, and a competitor of the existing Nikon ZR camera. It doesn’t include all the Canon R Mark6 III features, like missing EVF or mechanical shutter, but it is custom-developed for cinematographers and professional content creators. One of the biggest advantages of having the Canon R6 V camera is approximately unlimited 7K, or you can record 4K 120p on an approx basis till your CF card or the SD card fills, with the help of the built-in active cooling fan.
Major Core Specifications of the Canon EOS R6 V
- Sensor & Processor: 32.5MP full-frame CMOS sensor paired with the latest DIGIC X image processor
- Video Capabilities:
- Internal 7K 60p RAW (Light) recording
- 7K 30p Open Gate recording
- Uncropped 4K 120p
- Support for Slow & Fast motion
- Canon Log 2 with up to 15 stops of dynamic range
- Cooling: Built-in active cooling fan for extended recording times – up to 6 hours continuous in demanding modes
- Stabilization: 5-axis In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) rated up to 7.5 stops
- Autofocus: Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with reliable subject tracking (people, animals, vehicles)
- Shutter: Electronic shutter only (up to 40fps burst for stills)
- Viewfinder / Screen: No EVF – large vari-angle LCD designed for vlogging and gimbal work
- Build & Ports: Weather-sealed magnesium alloy body, dual card slots (CFexpress Type B + SD UHS-II), full-size HDMI, 4-channel audio input
- Weight: Just 598 grams (body only) – incredibly portable for a full-frame video beast
- Other Video Tools: Waveform monitor, false color, timecode, and pro-level monitoring features
New Kit Lens: RF 20-50mm f/4 L IS USM PZ
Canon also announced the matching RF 20-50mm f/4 L IS USM PZ – a compact L-series power-zoom lens with constant f/4 aperture, built-in image stabilisation, and smooth motorised zoom perfect for video creators. It weighs under a pound and can be remotely controlled.
Price, Availability & Shipping Information
- Canon EOS R6 V Body Only: $2,499 USD
- EOS R6 V + RF 20-50mm f/4 L IS USM PZ Kit: Approximately $3,699 USD (lens alone expected around $1,399)
Pre-orders are live right now at Canon USA, B&H Photo, Adorama, and other major authorized dealers.
Shipping begins late June 2026 (expected end of June / early July depending on region).
The Pricing of the Canon R6V is really very attractive, and the $2,499 price point makes the R6V roughly $300 cheaper than the EOS R6 Mark III, giving creators an extremely compelling option if you don’t need the EVF and want maximum video performance with active cooling.
TheNewCamera.com Verdict
Yes, we do feel that the Canon EOS R6 V feels like the perfect bridge between the hybrid R6 series and Canon’s pro cinema cameras. If you’re a content creator who shoots a lot of video (YouTube, TikTok, weddings, documentaries, or run-and-gun work) and want 7K RAW, long recording times, and IBIS in a super-light body, this camera is going to be a game-changer.
Stay tuned – we’ll have full hands-on impressions, sample footage, and detailed comparisons as soon as review units land in the next few weeks.

 This might be the first #DJIAIR4 picture you’ll ever see. A crashed prototype shows it will have a similar top design with #three top sensors like the to be released #DJIMavic4. The arms are a bit thicker then the #air3s so the finished product hopefully looks better. Cheers! – Credit: Jasper via twitter.com So for those who were eagerly waiting for the DJI next Air series drone, this is some very exciting news for you since we were getting hints from the past few weeks that DJI Air 4 is about to arrive, but we were waiting for some sort of confirmation that makes us believe that the DJI Air 4 drone arrival news have some authenticity and is not only a rumor. Yesterday, (May 11, 2026) we received confirmed news from one of the most trusted/veteran sources Igor Bogdanov (Quadro_News) that they have received/got the early documents, which Igor published publicly, which does confirm that the DJI Air 4 drone is about to arrive within the next six months, that is on or before Q4 of 2026, we will have the DJI Air 4.
DJI Air 4 Spotted in Chinese Flight-Filing App – What Does This Mean?
First of all, take a look at the information we have related to the DJI and four rumor, and this is one of the biggest confirmation step about the existence of the multiple prototype/various sense of the Model, in general giant like DJI do regret testing of their drones prototype before the official announcement and in the same manner during the while testing of the DJI air for prototype. The name of the AIR 4 DRONE has been reveled by Chinese app (possibily during beta testing ) used for mandatory drone flight reporting and compliance (part of the Civil Aviation Administration of China’s UOM platform). Seeing the model name already integrated into the software means development is advanced enough for regulatory systems to recognize it.
Even more interesting -early chatter around this leak suggests the DJI Air 4 could be sub-250g. If that turns out to be true, it would be a game-changer. A sub-250g Air-series drone would dodge many strict registration rules worldwide, making it super travel-friendly while still sitting between the Mini and Mavic lines (just like we predicted in our earlier 2025-2026 DJI drones roundup).
DJI Air 4 Prototype Leak – Design Clues from Early 2025
Again, we are still waiting for further confirmation but its an strong possibltity that commercial unit is already in the hands of multiple beta testers as of now. Back in early 2025, we already saw the first crashed prototype images (shared by Jasper Ellens) that gave us a sneak peek at the design. The drone showed noticeably thicker arms compared to the Air 3S and a Mavic 4-style top sensor array with three top-mounted obstacle-avoidance sensors plus an LED beacon. Overall, design-wise, the drone definitely looks more premium and aerodynamic than the current Air 3S.
Rumored Specifications of DJI Air 4 (Everything We Know So Far)
While DJI hasn’t said a single word officially, here’s what the latest rumors and older leaks are pointing toward:
- Camera System — Strong speculation about dual 1-inch sensors (big upgrade over the Air 3S) for better low-light performance, dynamic range, and possibly dual-camera switching. This would make it a serious contender for travel photographers and videographers.
- Obstacle Avoidance — Improved omnidirectional sensing with the new top-mounted array we saw in the prototype.
- Flight Time & Performance — Expect better battery life and efficiency than the Air 3S.
- Transmission — Likely sticking with the reliable O4 system (no OcuSync 5 yet for this model).
- Weight — Possible sub-250g version (still unconfirmed but the Chinese app listing has everyone talking about it).
These specs line up perfectly with what we wrote back in August 2025 when we first listed the DJI Air 4 as an expected late-2025 / 2026 release.
DJI Air 4 Expected Release Date
Based on DJI’s usual 2–3 year cycle (Air 2 in 2020 → Air 3 in 2023 → Air 3S in 2024), most insiders are now pointing to September–November 2026. No official announcement yet, and we still don’t have FCC filings, so the timeline could still shift a bit.
Will the DJI Air 4 Be Available in the USA?
Important note for our American readers: As of now the DJI Air 4 is not on the FCC approved list (just like the Mini 5 and a few other upcoming models). The ongoing DJI ban situation means newer unfiled drones might not reach US shelves easily. We’ll keep a very close eye on this and update the moment anything changes.
But let’s hope for the best that DJI finds a solution to bring its drones back into the hands of US consumers, so they don’t have to pay super high prices for the same tech from native American manufacturers.
This Chinese app leak is the strongest signal yet that the DJI Air 4 is coming — and it could be one of the most exciting compact drones of 2026. Dual 1-inch sensors in a (possibly) sub-250g body? That would be massive for creators who want pro-level image quality without the weight and regulations of bigger drones.
We’ll keep tracking every new leak, photo, or official teaser and update this article immediately.
