Finally, the FCC is now planning to impose a retroactive ban on DJI, which means existing drones announced by DJI in previous years will be massively affected. Not one, two, or three models, but a series of models that are capable of using LiDAR sensors inside them, since according to the FCC, drones that are using LiDAR sensors for obstacle avoidance can also be used for military purposes, and that’s why they are dangerous for the United States of America.
And not only two or three models will be affected, as they mentioned in the FCC document. As I have said, a series of drones are going to be affected by DJI.
How does this sudden change happen? Earlier, the rules were strict about the weight capacity. If a drone was able to lift 55 lbs (25 kg) or more with certain capabilities, they were considered military-grade under the rules. But now, with the updated definition, even consumer-grade drones that are under the 250-gram category will be considered military-grade drones if they use any sort of LiDAR sensor, which many modern technologies use, and they are now banned.
What Notice Did the FCC Issue?
On July 21, 2026, the FCC released Public Notice DA 26-758.
In this notice, the agency proposed to stop the further importation and marketing of certain previously approved foreign-made drones that it now labels as “military-grade.” One of the main categories under this definition is any drone that uses LiDAR sensors.
Which Drone Models Have LiDAR and Are Affected?
The proposal does not care whether LiDAR is used for mapping or only for obstacle avoidance. If the drone has LiDAR sensors, it is subject to the restriction.
Currently, the models most affected are:
DJI Air 3S
DJI Mini 5 Pro
DJI Neo 2
Avata models that use LiDAR (including Avata 360)
These drones use LiDAR primarily for obstacle avoidance. According to the FCC’s own definition, that is enough to put them on the list.
Other categories such as thermal imaging, agricultural spray drones, docking stations, and drones over 55 lbs (25 kg) are also covered, but for most photographers and content creators, the Air 3S and Mini 5 Pro are the biggest concern.
Why the Next 30 Days Matter
Public comments are open until September 2, 2026.
On paper, this is the window for people to submit feedback. In reality, history shows that public comments in national security-related FCC cases rarely change the final decision. Once the FCC has already stated that it has “tentatively concluded” a restriction is needed, the direction is usually locked.
That is why the next few weeks are critical for buyers.
If you are planning to buy an Air 3S, Mini 5 Pro, or related LiDAR models, or if you want spare batteries, propellers, ND filters, and other accessories, this is the window to secure them while stock is still freely available through normal channels.
Waiting for a final decision may leave you with limited or no new supply.
Existing Owners Are Still Safe
If you already own these drones, you can continue to use and fly them. The proposal only targets new imports and sales. It does not stop people from operating drones they already have.
The Bigger Picture – Ban of Budget Drone Cinematography in USA
For years, budget-friendly DJI camera drones gave independent filmmakers, wedding videographers, real estate photographers, and content creators access to high-quality aerial footage without spending enterprise-level money.
That era now appears to be closing in the US market.
The practical advice for photographers and creators is simple: if you need these models or spare parts, the next few weeks are the time to act.
We will continue monitoring the process and update this story as soon as the FCC takes the next official step.
We have summarized the Major Key points here
This is still a proposal, not a final ban.
LiDAR is the key reason consumer camera drones such as the Air 3S, Mini 5 Pro, and Neo 2 are included.
Existing owners can continue flying their drones.
New sales face a high risk of being cut off if the rule is adopted.
Comment deadline: September 2, 2026. However, past patterns suggest a limited chance of a full reversal.
If adopted, a 180-day transition period is proposed before sales restrictions take effect.

Finally, the wait is over. DJI Osmo 360 II is available for pre-order in China from August 7, 2026. As is obvious, DJI initially announces its products in China, and after that, they make a global announcement.
So if you are in China, you can place a pre-order starting today at 8 PM Beijing time. The worldwide announcement will happen in the next one or two weeks, since the DJI Osmo 360 II has already reached retailers worldwide. However, the announcement will be done in different phases throughout the month of August.
DJI is opening pre-orders for the Osmo 360 II in China later today.
According to multiple Chinese technology outlets, DJI announced that pre-orders will start on August 7, 2026 at 8:00 PM Beijing time (China Standard Time, UTC+8).
That converts to:
8:00 AM EDT / 5:00 AM PDT (US East/West Coast)
Source of the announcement
The most detailed report comes from IT之家 (IT Home), published on August 6, 2026. The outlet states that DJI itself posted about the pre-order start time. Other Chinese tech sites (快科技 / Kuai Technology and NetEase) later confirmed the same timing and referred to it as an official DJI announcement.
A short teaser video has also circulated. It shows the camera with replaceable lenses and highlights the square sensor design.
What we know so far
So far, what we know is that the new upcoming DJI Osmo 360 II features replaceable lenses, and that was the need of most of the creators. The oval-shaped lenses get easily scratched when you put them in your pocket or on any surface. These oval lenses put the entire load of the camera on themselves, resulting in scratches in a very short period of time. The biggest problem with the first-generation Osmo 360 camera was the non-replaceable lenses, and with the arrival of the Osmo 360 II, DJI solves the biggest problem.
Other confirmed set of features
8K60 video support (original was 8K50)
Addition of NFC for faster pairing and file transfer
Minor button and finish refinements
Confirmed / Strongly reported:
Pre-orders open today (August 7) at 8:00 PM Beijing time
Pre-orders are currently confirmed only for China.
Global release timing, US availability within the next few weeks
Replaceable lenses (shown in the teaser)
Battery capacity increased to 2150 mAh (up from 1950 mAh on the original Osmo 360). This matches earlier FCC filings for model OQ002.
Design remains very close to the first-generation Osmo 360 (square body, similar lens module layout)
Full detailed specifications, pricing, and global availability have not been officially released yet. The product page is currently limited to the Chinese market announcement.
DJI OSMO 360 II USA availability
The DJI Osmo 360 II is currently one of the few 2026 DJI products still legally eligible for sale in the United States because it received its FCC authorization on December 21, 2025 – one day before the Covered List cutoff that blocked new authorizations. In contrast, the Osmo Pocket 4 never received a usable grant in time, and the Pocket 4 Pro was granted on the exact cutoff date of December 22, 2025, so both remain blocked from official US sale. Once the Osmo 360 II is officially launched, it can therefore be imported and sold through normal US retail channels, though the exact timing will still depend on when DJI decides to release it.

Nikon has kept relatively quiet in the first half of 2026. We have already witnessed the announcement of one of the most popular models, the Nikon Z5 II, along with the Nikon Z50 II and the Nikon ZR. All these models were announced back in 2025, and the company has also focused more on lenses, firmware updates, as well as the growth and development of its Z Cinema ecosystem. At the same time, many photographers who have been connected with Nikon for a very long time are asking the same question: What comes next?
Instead of chasing every rumour, this article examines three clearer signals:
Historical refresh cycles of existing Z-series lines
Taken together, these factors point to a more logical ranking of Nikon’s near-term priorities than pure speculation alone.
1. The Refresh Cycle Reality
That’s the most important part: the refresh cycle. We have to understand that all these camera makers refresh their products based on a refresh cycle. At the very same time, not only is the refresh cycle important, but the market response to a specific model also decides the lifespan of a particular camera series.
We all know the Nikon Z7 II is the only high-resolution model in Nikon’s lineup competing with the Sony A7R series as well as the Canon R5 series. Despite that fact, the Nikon Z7’s sensor resolution has now been surpassed by other cameras from the same brand, like the Nikon Z9 and Nikon Z8, while competitors are now using much more advanced higher-resolution sensors.
So, the Nikon Z7 II is outdated, despite Nikon’s typical refresh cycle of 3.5 to 4 years. It has now been approximately 5 years and 10 months since its announcement, and we are still waiting for an update. So, the Nikon Z7 is one of the strongest contenders for Nikon’s 2026 camera lineup, based on the company’s refresh cycle.
Here is the current status of the major lines as of August 2026:
Camera Line
Previous Model
Announcement Date
Time Elapsed (as of Aug 2026)
Status
High-resolution (Z7)
Z7 II
October 2020
5 years 10 months
Most overdue
Flagship (Z9)

October 2021
4 years 9 months
Approaching upper limit
Entry APS-C (Z30)
Z30
June 2022
4 years 1 month
Entering normal window
Compact Pro (Z8)

May 2023
3 years 3 months
Still normal
Retro Full-Frame (Zf)

Early
Entry Full-Frame (Z5)
Z5 II
April 2025
Already refreshed
Completed
Upper APS-C (Z50)
Z50 II
November 2024
Already refreshed
Completed
The standout figure is the Z7 line. At nearly six years without a successor, it is the longest-running gap in the current Z system. By pure cycle analysis, it is the most overdue body.
The above list that you have seen is based on the camera refresh cycle. At the same time, we also have to discuss the possibility of the arrival of other models due to the competitive pressure in the market, as well as the overall market trends.
2. Competitive Pressure Is Building in Specific Segments
Market forces are not evenly distributed. Three areas currently stand out:
High-resolution full-frame
Sony continues to push the high-resolution segment hard. A new a7R-class body is widely expected in the competitive landscape. This creates natural pressure on Nikon to respond with a modern high-resolution body rather than leave the Z7 II as its only option in that category for another year.
APS-C performance
Canon’s R7 successor has faced delays and now appears more likely in Q4 of 2026 or in Q1 of 2026. This gives Nikon a potential window, but not necessarily an urgent one. A high-end DX body (often discussed as a Z500-style camera) remains strategically useful, yet the competitive heat is currently lower than in the high-resolution full-frame segment.
Premium compact / fixed-lens cameras
Canon is actively refreshing its PowerShot line in 2026. The broader compact camera market has shown renewed interest after several quiet years. Nikon has remained largely absent from this category since the cancelled DL series. A fixed-lens or compact full-frame model would face less internal conflict with existing ILC bodies and could address a clear market gap.
3. Product Strategy Constraints Matter
Even when a line is overdue, Nikon still has to consider internal sales dynamics.
A Z8 II arriving in 2026 would sit uncomfortably close to a future Z9 II, especially if the flagship carries significant RED-derived technology and a higher price point. Launching the more affordable high-end body first risks pulling sales away from the more profitable flagship. This makes a Z8 II in calendar 2026 unlikely from a pure business perspective.
The Z9 II itself remains a high priority, but the integration of RED technology appears to have lengthened its development timeline. A full announcement in 2026 is possible but less probable than a 2027 release, with a development teaser more likely in the second half of this year if anything happens.
In contrast, a Z7 III creates almost no cannibalisation risk with either the Z8 or Z9 lines. It targets a different buyer — resolution-focused photographers rather than speed or video-first users — and fills the longest-standing gap in the lineup.
4. Updated List of Upcoming Cameras 2026 – 2027
Putting the three factors together produces a clearer shortlist:
Z7 III (Strongest current case)
Longest overdue cycle + rising high-resolution competition + minimal internal conflict. This is currently the most logical candidate for a late 2026 or early 2027 announcement. As per the latest rumors, Nikon will bring a higher resolution sensor the the Z7 III series, probably a 61 MP sensor from Sony or a 67MP sensor from Towerjazz, Nikon has been working with 67Mp sensor Prototypes for more than 2 -3 years.
Nikon Z7 III Expected Specification
61 + MP FX-Format BSI CMOS Sensor
Expeed 8
8K30p and 4K60p Video, 10-bit Internal, ProRes RAW
Up to 20 fps Max Shooting
493-Point AF
AI-Based Subject Detection
3.2″ 4-Axis Tilting Touchscreen LCD
Dual UHS-II SD Slots
5 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
High-end APS-C body (Z500-style)
Clear product gap and strong user demand, especially among wildlife and sports shooters who want native DX reach. Timing is more flexible and may slip toward the end of 2026 or into 2027 depending on Canon’s moves.
Compact or fixed-lens camera
Competitive activity from Canon and a general revival of interest in premium compacts make this more plausible than it has been for years. Lower development risk and no conflict with existing interchangeable-lens models.
Z9 II
Still a major priority, but more weighted toward 2027. Development announcements remain possible in late 2026. Nikon Z9 II will get the Expeed 8 image processor, image processor will remain the same. That means we will get a massive update in the processing power of the existing Z9 camera, which will directly affect the autofocusing algorithms, specifically 3D object tracking, continuous shooting speed, video recording resolution, and frame rate. So for sure, we will have a massive update in the camera’s core specifications.
Nikon Z9 II Expected Specification
45.7MP Full-Frame Stacked CMOS Sensor
EXPEED 8 Image Processor
8K 60p Video, 12-bit Internal, N-RAW, ProRes RAW
Up to 30 fps Continuous Shooting (Electronic Shutter)
493-Point AF with Advanced AI Subject Detection
5-Axis In-Body Image Stabilization
3.2″ 4-Axis Tilting Touchscreen LCD
Dual CFexpress Type B Slots
5 GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Ethernet Port
ISO 64-25600 (Expandable)
Z8 II
Low probability in 2026 due to clear cannibalisation risk with the flagship.
At the end
Refresh cycles, competitor pressure and product strategy do not guarantee any specific announcement date. Nikon has shown it can delay or accelerate bodies when technology or market conditions require it. However, when these three lenses are applied together, the Z7 III currently emerges as the strongest logical candidate for Nikon’s next major stills-oriented camera.
The second half of 2026 will be worth watching closely. Any development announcement, FCC filings, or unusual retailer activity around high-resolution full-frame bodies would quickly shift the probability further in that direction.
As always, official confirmation is the only definitive signal. Until then, the patterns remain the most reliable guide we have.

So finally, we have a pocket gimbal camera that can fly, and it’s not a fantasy concept. We have literally seen an official teaser video from HoverAir.
The most important part of the teaser video, it’s not an AI-generated video. It’s a real video showcasing a gimbal-style camera that can be attached to and detached from the drone module. So you can either use it purely as a pocket gimbal camera, or make it a compact flying drone that always follows you, captures you like a professional cinematographer, and finally lands in your palm.
In the teaser video, we can clearly see a pocket-sized 3-axis gimbal camera that snaps into a protected propeller cage and becomes a self-flying AI camera. Palm takeoff, palm landing, AI tracking, auto-framing, and a “3D Worlds” mode. No controller required.
Expected Price
Most realistic base price range: $599 – $699
Breakdown of the logic: HoverAir X1 PRO starts at $499. X1 PROMAX starts around $594–$699. VERSA adds a proper 3-axis mechanical gimbal + screen for handheld use plus a modular snap-on flight system. That is meaningfully more hardware than a pure X1-style flying camera
Competitor benchmark: DJI Osmo Pocket 3 (proper pocket gimbal) sits around $429–$499. DJI Neo (tiny self-flying camera) is $169–$199. Buying both separately costs roughly $600–$700.
HoverAir needs the VERSA priced high enough to justify the dual hardware and avoid heavily cannibalising its own X1 PRO/PROMAX line, but low enough that the “one device instead of two” argument still holds.
Most probable full retail price for the standard version: $649 or $699.
Early-bird or launch pricing could open at $549–$599. Creator/combo kits with extra batteries and case will likely land in the $749–$849 range.
Anything significantly below $599 would undercut their own higher-end models. Anything starting much above $749 base makes the value proposition weak against simply buying a Pocket 3 and a Neo.
Specifications – What Is Confirmed vs What Is Missing
Confirmed from the teaser and marketing:
Modular design: handheld 3-axis gimbal camera that attaches to a closed propeller cage
Palm takeoff and palm landing
AI subject tracking and auto-composition/framing
“3D Worlds” mode (360° flight path for 3D scene reconstruction)
No traditional controller required
Aimed at everyday/travel/creator use rather than pure high-speed action
Still completely unknown (and critical):
Image sensor size and type
Maximum video resolution and frame rates
Photo resolution
Battery capacity and real-world flight time
Exact weight of the handheld module and the full flying configuration
Obstacle sensing capability
Wind resistance rating
Storage options
App features and any manual control options
Without these numbers, any serious comparison to the Osmo Pocket 3, DJI Neo, or HoverAir’s own X1 PROMAX is incomplete. The concept is interesting. The execution quality will be decided by the missing hardware details.
Arrival Timeline – Realistic Expectations
HoverAir’s past behaviour is consistent: strong teaser → follow-up with pricing and details within a few months → shipping later than the optimistic language suggests.
AQUA is the clearest recent example. Crowdfunding started in 2025 with ambitious shipping targets. Official retail availability only arrived in May 2026 after delays.
For VERSA:
Full announcement (price + detailed specs + pre-order) is most likely in Q4 2026, specifically October–November.
First customer shipments are more realistically Q1 2027.
Late 2026 deliveries are possible only if production tooling and certification are already well advanced. For a new modular mechanical design, that is optimistic. Q1 2027 is the safer planning window.
Bottom Line
The VERSA concept is genuine and the video looks like a real prototype, not pure CGI. HoverAir has a track record of eventually shipping the products they tease.
The product will succeed or fail based on sensor performance, flight time, and how well the handheld gimbal mode actually competes with a dedicated pocket camera. Those answers are still missing.
We will update this analysis the moment official specifications and pricing are released.

Finally, the image of the single-lens Insta360 Luna Pro has been revealed, and this is not a prototype or a rendered image. This is a real image shared by a Chinese digital blogger who is currently using this camera. The image leak becomes more and more credible since it has been published by Sina, one of the most popular Chinese media outlets.
What’s New in These Photos
The leaked images clearly show a clean, all-white body with the familiar Luna-style gimbal design and a single Leica-branded lens module.
Interestingly, the web mag that leaked the image also reports specifically that the Luna Pro’s vertical 4K 30p capability is actually stronger than the current vertical shooting standard on the flagship Luna Ultra – a useful upgrade for short-form creators and Vloggers.
Let’s jump to Leica Pro core specifications

The Luna Pro keeps the core professional features of the Ultra (1-inch sensor path, Leica optics, 3-axis gimbal, 10-bit recording, color temperature sensor, and the detachable remote) while dropping the second telephoto lens. This makes it lighter and, expectedly, more affordable — aimed directly at users who don’t need optical zoom but still want high image quality and the convenient remote screen.

Likely
So, we have almost all the possible details about the upcoming Luna Pro. Although, as we know, these camera makers are very intelligent, and they keep a safe distance between two announcements to gain the maximum possible market share while also avoiding the self-cannibalization of product sales at the same time. Those users who were not able to buy the Luna Ultra due to its price are now going to get their hands on the Luna Pro camera.
Other than that, specifically talking about the U.S. audience/consumers, they have no other option left. Since after the DJI ban, Xtra Technology has also been banned from introducing new cameras into the market. So, if you want to buy a system camera, your best option is the Luna Ultra. And if you want to have a new-generation handheld gimbal camera with a detachable lens module, then obviously the Luna Pro is the option in front of you.
Other than that, since Insta360 isn’t facing any sort of ban in the United States of America, you will be getting full warranty coverage and firmware updates for the device without any issues.
Release Status
Insta360 has not issued any official teaser or confirmation yet. However, the combination of complete real-machine photos + successive parameter leaks suggests the product is in the final stages of preparation. Earlier FCC filings and manual timelines continue to point toward a late Q3 to early Q4 2026 window (most likely August–October).
We’ll update this page as soon as official pricing, availability, or launch details appear — especially India pricing and local stock information.

As of late July 2026, both the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 and the dual-lens Osmo Pocket 4P have appeared in limited quantities on Amazon US. These are not official DJI Store or major retailer stock. They are third-party/gray-market units that somehow made it into Amazon’s US marketplace for a short window.
As usual, since these are available through third-party sellers, be careful when ordering and review the return policy before finalising your order. Since these are very limited-time deals, and as usual, the third-party sellers generally bring low stock to their retail stores/warehouses, and once it gets exhausted/goes out of stock, you have to wait again for weeks or months for it to be restocked.
Why These Cameras Are Normally Unavailable in the United States
As we all know, DJI is not able to sell the Pocket 4 and Pocket 4P models directly in the United States of America due to the ban, but now we have the option to buy them through third-party sellers on Amazon, and that’s a great thing for those who already invested in the DJI ecosystem and are looking for an update.
The Pocket 4 was announced back in April 2026, and the Pocket 4P was announced recently, but neither has received market clearance from the United States of America.
So, as of now, if you are willing to put your hands on the Pocket 4 and the Pocket 4P camera, grey-market imports from Europe, Asia, or other regions have been the only option, usually involving freight forwarders, no official warranty, and higher risk. The current Amazon listings remove some of that friction (Prime shipping in many cases, Amazon’s A-to-z Guarantee), but they remain limited-run opportunities rather than permanent availability.
Why the Osmo Pocket 4 Is Worth Grabbing
If you already own a DJI Pocket 3 camera and are looking for a slight upgrade, specifically in terms of internal memory and high frame rates, like the option to record 4K videos at 240 frames per second, then obviously this upgrade is recommended. You have to take a quick decision as we have already said, the stock is very limited with third-party sellers, and you have to be quick to purchase this before the stock runs out.
1-inch CMOS sensor
4K/240fps slow-motion (double the Pocket 3’s 4K/120fps)
14-stop dynamic range + 10-bit D-Log
2× lossless zoom that works more reliably across modes
107GB built-in storage with very fast USB transfer speeds
ActiveTrack 7.0 with improved subject recognition and tracking
Same excellent 3-axis mechanical gimbal and rotatable touchscreen
For everyday vlogging, travel, run-and-gun content, and creators who want the best pocket form-factor stabilization without carrying a full camera, the Pocket 4 is currently the strongest single-lens option in the category.
Why the Pocket 4P Is the Bigger Deal for Many Creators
The Pocket 4P is the dual-camera version and the one that changes the calculus for a lot of serious users:
Primary 1-inch wide camera (approx. 20mm equivalent, f/2.0)
Dedicated telephoto camera with true 3× optical zoom (approx. 60mm equivalent, f/1.8)
Up to 17 stops of dynamic range and D-Log 2
Seamless switching between wide and tele without the heavy crop and quality loss of digital zoom
Same core platform: 3-axis gimbal, ActiveTrack 7.0, high-frame-rate video, large internal storage
This High Quality dual-lens design is particularly valuable for interviews, portraits, product shots, hybrid documentary work, and any situation where you need both environmental context and tighter framing without swapping cameras or lenses. It closes a gap that single-lens pocket gimbals have always had.
Why you should Act Quickly: Reasons
Limited quantity — As we have already discussed, these Amazon listings are not deep-inventory items. Once they sell out, restocks are not guaranteed and can take weeks or months (if they return at all).
Regulatory risk — The FCC situation remains unresolved. Future enforcement or tighter import rules could make grey-market units harder to obtain or create additional friction at customs.
Price and availability volatility — Grey-market pricing fluctuates with demand and scarcity. Current listings may represent better value than what appears later if supply tightens.
No clear official U.S. timeline — There is still no confirmed path for official U.S. sales of either model. Waiting for policy change could mean waiting indefinitely.
Creator demand is high — The combination of 4K/240fps, improved tracking, large internal storage, and (on the 4P) true optical zoom is exactly what many YouTubers, short-form creators, and hybrid shooters have been asking for.
Important Caveats for U.S. Buyers
These are almost certainly grey-market units. You will not get an official DJI U.S. warranty or support.
Confirm the seller, fulfilment method, and return policy carefully on the Amazon page.
Firmware and features generally work globally, but support channels will be limited.
Compare the exact contents of each combo (Creator kits usually include more useful accessories).
Bottom Line
If you actively want a current-generation DJI Osmo Pocket and you are based in the United States, the window that has opened on Amazon is worth taking seriously. The Pocket 4 delivers clear upgrades in slow-motion capability, storage, and tracking. The Pocket 4P adds genuine dual-lens versatility that previous Pocket models never offered.
Stock is limited, and these opportunities do not last. Check both listings, decide which version and combo fits your workflow, and move quickly if the features match what you need.
This is one of the clearer “buy now or potentially miss it” moments for U.S. creators interested in the latest Pocket-series cameras.

Finally, as the announcement time of the DJI Osmo 360 II is getting closer to us, the camera has started slowly revealing more of itself. Fresh internal and product photos directly coming from the camera’s FCC filing have now become public. Since the 180-day deadline period of the FCC already passed on June 19, 2026, and the time I am writing this post is July 27, 2026 — the period expired more than a month ago (roughly 37–38 days past).
As we all know, after the short-term confidentiality ends, internal photos, external photos, test setup photos, user manuals, etc., automatically become public on the FCC database (unless an extension was filed, which is rare and usually not granted beyond 180 days).
Grant date: December 21, 2025
Maximum short-term confidentiality: 180 days from the grant date
Expiry: Around June 19, 2026
These images were first shared by one of the most trusted leaked, Igor Bogdanov (@Quadro_News) and come from the official FCC exhibits for FCC ID 2ANDR-OQ0022512 (Model: OQ002). The short-term confidentiality period on the filing expired in mid-June, so the photos are now publicly available.
What’s Visible in the New Photos
Battery Confirmed
The most important confirmation is the battery. The internal photos clearly show a DJI lithium-ion pack labeled BCX102-2150-3.86 with a rated capacity of 2150mAh / 8.3Wh. This matches earlier FCC documents and represents a solid upgrade over the original Osmo 360’s 1950mAh battery.
Design Remains Very Familiar
From the external shots, the Osmo 360 II looks extremely close to the first-generation model. The overall shape, screen size, button layout, and port placement appear nearly identical. The rear still carries the DJI logo and speaker grille, while the side shows the familiar “OSMO 360 II” engraving.
Label & Certifications
One of the images shows the full regulatory label. It confirms:
Model: OQ002
FCC ID: 2ANDR-OQ0022512
Input: 5-9V ⎓ 3A Max
Multiple certifications including CE, UKCA, and BIS India (R-41204781)
The presence of the BIS mark is notable for Indian buyers, as it indicates the camera is already being prepared for official sale in India.
Internal Layout
The opened unit reveals a compact main board with flexible ribbon cables, copper shielding tape, and a relatively clean internal arrangement. Nothing dramatic stands out in terms of major redesign — this appears to be a refined evolution rather than a complete overhaul.
