Insta360 Luna Ultra 2 Early Prototypes Leak - Is This the Future of Modular Luna?

 

Insta360 Luna Ultra has been announced, but we again have the modular camera prototype images of the camera, which are coming straight out from one of the most trusted leakers, Igor. Take a look at what he said and shared in his latest tweet.

Tech leaker Igor Bogdanov (@Quadro_News) shared three clean studio shots today, captioning them as:

“Photo of the early prototype of the Insta360 modular camera, from which Luna came.”

Before jumping into more details and images, let me clarify one thing. This is not the first time we are looking at the modular prototypes of the Insta360 camera. Back in January 2026, we published the modular prototype images for the first time on the web here at TheNewCamera.com.

luna

The wording is important. Igor didn’t say these were early Luna prototypes. He referred to them as prototypes of “the Insta360 modular camera” — suggesting that Luna is a product that came out of a larger modular development program inside Insta360.

A Story We’ve Been Following Since January 2026

As I have said earlier, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen these kinds of images. Back in January 2026, thenewcamera.com exclusively published prototype photos of Insta360’s upcoming pocket camera. Those images already showed a highly modular system – with snap-together modules, interchangeable lenses (including Leica optics), and multiple camera heads that could attach to a gimbal or be used standalone.

At the time, the camera had no official name. What we saw then was clearly part of the same modular vision that has now taken shape as the Luna series.

What These New Photos Reveal

The latest images shared today appear to show an even earlier stage of development. We can see:

  • A vertical pocket-style body with a large lens
  • A gimbal unit paired with a small detachable camera module
  • A standalone small square sensor module

These early experiments show Insta360 was exploring multiple directions before narrowing down the final design. Interestingly, some of these early prototypes appear more modular than the Luna Ultra that launched on June 10, 2026.

The Exciting Part: Is This the Beginning, Not the End?

Here’s where it gets interesting.

The fact that Insta360 was working on a broader “modular camera” platform (as Igor described it) raises an exciting possibility: the modular development may still be ongoing.

As we all know, the Luna Ultra is the first generation of Insta360’s pocketable camera, and as we have discussed, this is just the beginning and not the end. This means Insta360 had multiple modular prototypes even before the official announcement of the current Insta360 Luna Ultra camera, and it clearly indicates that in the near future we may see drastic improvements in the modular functionality of upcoming pocket gimbal cameras.

This opens up an exciting question for the future:

Could future Luna models (Luna Ultra 2 or next-generation versions) bring back more advanced modular features? Think swappable lenses, multiple detachable modules, or even more creative configurations.

If Insta360 continues down this path, Luna might not just be a single camera – it could evolve into a modular ecosystem, similar to how Insta360 previously experimented with the ONE R and its interchangeable lens modules.

Why This Matters

Insta360 didn’t just build another pocket gimbal camera. From the above images its very clear that they spent years developing a modular foundation. The Luna Ultra we have today is the first major product to come out of that effort, and obviously, more are on the way.

These early prototype photos are more than just nostalgia. They show us where Luna came from – and hint at where it might still go.

Insta360 has a history of pushing modular design further than most brands. If they continue developing this direction, the best chapters of the Luna story might still be ahead of us.

What do you think – would you like to see Insta360 bring back deeper modularity in future Luna models (like swappable lenses or more detachable parts)? Let us know in the comments.

DJI Mic Mini 2 TX + 1 RX Amazon Deals Hits Lowest Price of the Year: Prime Day Deal 29% Off

As we all know, the DJI Mic Mini is one of the most advanced DJI mics for smartphones and Mirrorless / DSLR cameras. And now it’s available at the lowest price of the year.  As of June 26, 2026, the DJI Mic Mini (2 TX + 1 RX) wireless lavalier microphone kit has dropped to $56 on Amazon. According to the price history chart on the product page, this is currently the lowest price of the year for this 2-person kit.

We are getting an approx 29% discount from the regular $79 price, making it one of the strongest budget wireless microphone deals we’ve seen in 2026, especially with Prime Day timing.

Current Deal Highlights

  • Price: $56 (lowest price of the year)
  • Discount: 29% off ($23 savings)
  • Deal Type: Prime Day exclusive pricing (Prime members get the best rate + fast delivery)
  • Seller: Third-party seller (fulfilled by Amazon in most cases)

As you can clearly see in the price history chart of the DJI mic, the price has never gone lower than this in the past 12 months. At this price, the DJI Mic Mini becomes an extremely compelling option for vloggers and content creators.

What’s Included

This kit contains:

  • 2 × Ultralight DJI Mic Mini Transmitters (~10g each)
  • 1 × DJI Mic Mini Receiver
  • Cables and accessories for camera and mobile use

Note: This $56 version is the core 2 TX + 1 RX kit. Bundles that include the charging case are priced higher.

Key Specifications

  • Weight: Transmitters weigh just ~10g (extremely discreet)
  • Range: Up to 400 meters (line of sight)
  • Battery Life: Up to 11.5 hours per transmitter + 10.5 hours on receiver (noise cancellation off). With charging case: up to 48 hours total
  • Audio: 48kHz sampling, noise cancellation, automatic limiting (up to 120 dB SPL)
  • Compatibility: Cameras (3.5mm), Android, iPhone (adapter), and direct OsmoAudio connection with compatible DJI devices like Osmo Pocket 3
  • Mounting: Magnetic clips + windscreens included

Take a look at the pros and cons of the  DJI Mic Mini

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • One of the smallest and lightest wireless mic systems available
  • Very good audio quality with effective noise cancellation for the price
  • Excellent battery life
  • Simple and reliable pairing with cameras and phones
  • Outstanding value at the current lowest price of the year

Cons

  • No internal recording (biggest drawback compared to DJI Mic 2)
  • Audio can sound slightly less bright than premium models
  • Magnet clip is convenient but the tiny transmitters can be easy to misplace

Quick Verdict on Comparison:

If you want maximum portability and the best price, go with the Mic Mini at $56. Choose the Mic 2 only if internal recording is important for your workflow.

Who Should Buy It at This Price?

This deal is perfect for:

  • Vloggers and YouTubers doing 2-person content or interviews
  • Run-and-gun shooters who prioritize small size and simplicity
  • DJI ecosystem users (especially with Osmo Pocket 3 or Action cameras)
  • Beginners and intermediate creators on a budget
  • Anyone looking for reliable wireless audio without spending $150+

It is not ideal for professional work where you need a backup recording track in case of signal issues.

Final Verdict

At $56 — the lowest price of the year — the DJI Mic Mini (2 TX + 1 RX) is one of the best budget wireless microphone options available in 2026.

The lack of internal recording remains its main limitation, but for most vloggers, YouTubers, and content creators who can monitor audio or work in controlled environments, this is an outstanding deal.

If you’ve been waiting for a good price on a compact 2-person wireless mic kit, this Prime Day offer is worth grabbing.

Note for Indian readers: This is an Amazon.com (US) deal. Check Amazon.in for local pricing and availability, as it often differs significantly.

DJI Pocket 4 Pro When Coming to USA? Current Global Availability Status

DJI coming

DJI Pocket 4P, which means Pro Edition, is now already available and shipping in Mainland China as well as we have dates for shipping in Taiwan, which is June 29, and in most parts of Asia, including India, the retailers now have it in stock and are waiting for customers to check in and make an order. Other than that, the biggest issue is that American creators are once again facing the same frustrating situation – the Pocket 4P is not coming to the USA through official channels anytime soon.

While DJI continues to deal with regulatory hurdles that have blocked multiple recent products from the US market, a strong alternative is emerging. The Xtra Muse 2 Pro, which many are already calling the “DJI of the USA,” is expected to launch in July 2026 and is being positioned as a direct competitor with official US availability and support.

This article breaks down the current global status of the Pocket 4P and why the Xtra Muse 2 Pro may be the better option for US buyers right now.

Current Global Availability Status

Region DJI Official Website Status Actual Market Availability Remarks
China Officially listed and selling Officially Available Launched mid-June
Taiwan Official sales from June 29 Officially Available from June 29 Local distributor (Synnex) launch
India Not listed on djiindiashop.com Grey Market only No official launch yet
United States Not available on DJI US site Xtramuse 2 PRO as an Alternative Regulatory block continues
Europe Slowly appearing on some regional sites Limited Official + Grey Market Gradual rollout
Rest of Asia Very limited official listings Mostly Grey Market Parallel imports dominant

image new 22

Why Taiwan Has a June 29 Date

Taiwan is getting its Pocket 4P camera on June 29, and the reason behind that is the local distributor, Synnex Technology, has officially announced that they have the stocks and anyone can pick up the Pocket 4P from the distributor points or shops starting from June 29.

This is a localized rollout, and now let’s talk about the DJI Pocket 4 Pro status in the USA and the options we have for now.

DJI Pocket 4P Is Not Coming to USA (For Now)

Yes, that’s the fact we have for now – new DJI drone models have effectively been blocked from the US market. Before December 2025, what we knew was that the drones were about to face restrictions since no US agency had completed the required national security review within the one-year timeframe.

The most unfortunate part is that, despite no fault on DJI’s side, the penalty ultimately fell on them anyway. And even more surprising is that not only the drones, but also new pocket camera models have been affected by the same restrictions.

But we don’t have to worry since we have an excellent option that we are going to discuss in the next paragraph.

Xtra Muse 2 Pro: The Better Alternative for US Buyers

While DJI continues to face delays in the US market, Xtra Technology’s Muse 2 Pro is emerging as the stronger and more practical option for American creators.

Xtra has been developing the Muse 2 Pro specifically with the US market in mind. The camera is expected to feature a very similar dual-lens setup (1-inch sensor + telephoto) and a core specification very similar to Pocket 4 PRO,  and is likely to be announced in early July 2026, with availability expected in mid-to-late July.

Unlike DJI, Xtra is positioned to offer:

  • Official US availability
  • Local warranty and support
  • Proper retail presence through major US stores

For most US creators, the Xtra Muse 2 Pro currently looks like the better long-term choice compared to waiting indefinitely for the DJI Pocket 4P or relying on grey market imports.

Final Thoughts

Don,t worry.. We are about to get the DJI Pocket 4P under a different brand name. With the Xtra Muse 2 Pro expected to launch in the US in July, many creators may find it to be the more reliable and practical alternative to the DJI Pocket 4P.

We will continue monitoring both products closely and will provide updates as soon as more information becomes available regarding US availability.

DJI Pocket 4 Pro vs Xtra Muse 2 Pro: Which Dual-Lens Pocket Gimbal Camera Wins in 2026?

DJI Mini 4K Prime Day Deals June 2026: Best Amazon Prices & Bundles (No FAA Registration)

DJI Mini 4K Prime Day Deals June 2026: Best Amazon Prices & Bundles (No FAA Registration)

DJI prime day deal bnanner img

Amazon Prime Day already started from June 23, 2026, and as we all know, the DJI Mini 4K has emerged as one of the most popular drones ever released, and more than 3,000 to 4,000 units of the DJI Mini 4K drone are being sold on Amazon USA alone. So, this Prime Day, we are getting an approx 30% price drop over the MSRP price of the Mini 4K drone.

And the best part is because the drone weighs just 246g, it does not require FAA registration or Remote ID for recreational flying. This makes it one of the easiest DJI drones to own and fly legally in the US in 2026.

Important Update: Prime Day deals are already live on Amazon. However, the biggest discounts on the DJI Mini 4K and its bundles are expected to appear within the next few days. We will continue updating the prices in this article as the main deals go live between June 23–26. Check the links below for the latest pricing.

Why the DJI Mini 4K Stands Out in 2026

DJI Mini 4K is said to be one of the most affordable and advanced versions of the Mini series of DJI drones. It has been designed for beginners and weighs under 250g, so it doesn’t require any sort of registration for flying. Other than that, it does deliver high-quality 4K video without spending a fortune.

And the standout key features include a built-in 3-axis gimbal that gives you excellent stable video footage on the go. Whether your drone is moving at high speed or staying stable in the middle, you’re always getting very stable footage, which is really impossible from a budget drone available in the USA. Other than that, we are also getting reliable GPS-assisted flight modes and intelligent shooting modes, all packed in a compact body, and that’s one of the biggest reasons for the higher amount of sales of the DJI Mini 4K drone in the United States of America.

DJI Mini 4K Prime Day Deals – Current Best Options

Here are the top bundles available on Amazon right now. Prices are likely to drop further once Prime Day officially begins.

    1. DJI Mini 4K Standard Combo (1 Battery)

Best choice for first-time buyers who want the lowest entry price.

Current Price: Check latest deal

Recommendation: If you plan to fly regularly, the Fly More Combo usually offers better long-term value, especially when it goes on discount during Prime Day.

DJI Mini 4K – FAA Regulations & Legal Flying in the USA

One of the biggest advantages of the DJI Mini 4K is its weight. At 246g, it falls under the 249g limit. As per current FAA rules in 2026:

  • No registration is required for recreational use.
  • Remote ID is not mandatory.
  • You can fly it in most areas without needing an FAA Remote Pilot Certificate (Part 107).

However, you must still follow standard drone rules:

  • Fly below 400 feet
  • Keep the drone in your line of sight
  • Avoid restricted airspace and airports
  • Respect privacy and no-fly zones

This regulatory simplicity makes the Mini 4K especially attractive for beginners and hobbyists in the United States.

DJI Mini 4K Full Specifications

Category Specification
Takeoff Weight 246 g
Dimensions (Folded) 138 × 81 × 58 mm
Max Flight Time 31 minutes (lab) / 20–24 minutes (real-world)
Max Speed 16 m/s (35.8 mph)
Camera Sensor 1/2.3-inch CMOS
Photo Resolution 12 MP (4000 × 3000)
Video Resolution 4K/30fps, 2.7K/60fps
Aperture f/2.8 (fixed)
Gimbal 3-axis mechanical stabilization
Video Transmission DJI O2 (up to 10 km)
Wind Resistance Level 5 (up to 10.7 m/s)
Obstacle Sensing Downward vision sensors only
Intelligent Modes QuickShots, Panorama, Return to Home
App DJI Fly

Image and Video Quality

The DJI Mini 4K delivers usable 4K footage for social media, YouTube, real estate, and casual content creation. The 3-axis gimbal does a good job of stabilizing footage even in moderate wind.

However, because it uses a smaller 1/2.3-inch sensor, it has limitations:

  • Dynamic range is average
  • Low-light performance is average (noise increases in dim conditions)
  • Colors are decent but not as rich as the Mini 3 or Mini 4 Pro

For daylight shooting and well-lit environments, the Mini 4K performs well for its price. It is noticeably better than most cheap, no-name drones in terms of colour and stabilisation.

Real-World Flight Performance

Most of us in our team have the same DJI Mini 4K drone. Once it’s fully charged, you get approximately 20 to 24 minutes of flight time per battery, depending upon the wind conditions and the flying style. If you opt for this situation, you are getting a drone that handles wind at normal speeds very well and delivers excellent, stable video footage on the go.

But yes, we have to add one thing here: the drone does not have a proper obstacle avoidance mode that we have in the high-end DJI drones. So you have to be more careful while flying near trees, power lines, or in very tight spaces. Yes, but the GPS-assisted Return to Home works reliably very well.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

  • No FAA registration or Remote ID required in the US
  • True 4K video with 3-axis gimbal stabilization
  • Compact, foldable, and easy to carry
  • Good wind resistance for its class
  • Beginner-friendly with intelligent flight modes
  • Affordable entry into the DJI ecosystem

Cons:

  • No obstacle avoidance sensors
  • Average low-light and dynamic range performance
  • Real-world flight time is lower than lab rating
  • Older O2 transmission system

Who Should Buy the DJI Mini 4K?

The DJI Mini 4K is best suited for:

  • Beginners who want their first proper DJI drone
  • Content creators and vloggers on a budget
  • Real estate agents looking for simple aerial shots
  • Travel enthusiasts who want a lightweight drone for trips
  • Users who want to avoid FAA registration hassle

If you regularly fly in complex environments or need better low-light performance, consider saving for the DJI Mini 3 or waiting for better deals on the Mini 4 Pro during Prime Day.

Final Verdict – Should You Buy the DJI Mini 4K During Prime Day 2026?

The DJI Mini 4K is one of the best budget 4K drones available in 2026, especially if you can buy it during Prime Day at a discounted price.

It offers the right balance of performance, portability, and legal simplicity for most beginners and casual users in the United States. While it lacks obstacle avoidance and has average low-light capabilities, it delivers solid 4K footage in good lighting conditions at a very reasonable price.

If your budget is under $300 and you want a hassle-free drone experience, the Mini 4K is a strong recommendation during Prime Day.

Pro Tip: The Fly More Combo usually gives the best value when it goes on sale.

DJI Pocket 4 PRO Not Available in the USA? XTRA MUSE 2 PRO Early Access Opens Today

 

Sony FX3 II Targeted Before September 2026 Following Latest China Registration

Sony FX3 II

We were waiting for as much confirmation as we could get over this topic, and now we can confirm and say that yes, the Sony FX3 Mark II is in the announcement pipeline and from the multiple sources, the information that we have received has been summarized in this article. The Sony FX3 is one of the most popular consumer-level filmmakers’ cameras for those who want to have an excellent filming tool without spending a fortune on the CineAlta Series.

Now coming back to the point, new regulatory filings which are straight coming out from China show that Sony has registered a new FX-series model, which is widely believed to be the long-rumored Sony FX3 Mark II, so this does guarantee that yes, FX3 Mark II camera is in the announcement pipeline and once the camera is registered with a regulatory agency, more or less within the next three months, that is on or before September 2026, we will have the announcement of the FX3 Mark II camera if everything goes on schedule.

Shanghai Suoguang (Suoguang Visual Products Co., Ltd.): Exact match. This is the Shanghai manufacturing/registration entity. On April 24, 2026, they registered the ILME-FX* model. They (together with the Wuxi factory) account for the two newest registrations. The earlier A7R VI (ILCE-7RM6 / WW847606) was registered in February 2026 by Japan Sony Corp. So “Soso has now only registered two products” (the April pair) is accurate in context.

Sony FX3 II image new

Registration Details Leak that made us believe it’s the FX3 II Camera

ILME-FX new model, made in Shanghai by Soguang/Suoguang, WW679476 (or WW679475 in some reports)**: Confirmed. This is the key registration. The ILME- prefix + FX is the standard Sony coding for Cinema Line full-frame models (FX3 was ILME-FX3, FX6 was ILME-FX6, etc.). It has Wi-Fi 6 support. Widely and consistently rumored to be the Sony FX3 II / FX3 successor.

reg details

credit: @E8M_8888

Key Registration Details

According to reports from multiple sources tracking Chinese certifications (CMIIT and related databases):

Model Code Factory Connectivity Likely Identity Registration Date
ILME-FX* Shanghai Suoguang Wi-Fi 6 FX3 II April 24, 2026
******* Sony Wuxi Standard Entry-level / ZV / RX April 24, 2026
ILCE-7RM6 Japan Sony Wi-Fi 6 A7R VI February 2026

The ILME-FX* prefix is reserved for Sony’s Cinema Line cameras. Combined with the Shanghai manufacturing location and Wi-Fi 6 support, this strongly points to a direct successor to the original FX3 rather than an entirely new model in the lineup.

FX3 II Expected to Retain Compact Form Factor

The early indications that we are getting from the registration details is the compact FX3 Cinema Camera will follow the same run-and-gun philosophy that has been followed since the announcement of the original FX3, which was announced back in 2021. Obviously, just after the announcement, the FX3 series has become one of the most popular series among solo filmmakers for shooting documentaries and commercial projects on a budget. Early indications suggest the new camera will follow the same compact, run-and-gun philosophy that made the original FX3 (2021) a favourite among solo filmmakers, documentary crews, and hybrid shooters.

Battery and Charging

According to the latest registration details, the ILME-FX* model (WW679476) is listed with Sony’s newer NP-SA100 battery – the same higher-capacity battery first introduced with the A7R VI. This marks the first time the NP-SA100 has appeared in a Cinema Line camera registration.

In contrast, the second newly registered model (E-Mount *****, WW721795) continues to use the existing NP-FZ100 battery, along with a lower-power 7.5W charger.

The ILME-FX* registration also indicates support for 30W USB-C Power Delivery charging, which is consistent with the higher-capacity NP-SA100 battery. This suggests Sony may introduce updated charging accessories alongside the new camera.

While the adoption of the NP-SA100 battery should deliver improved runtime, it also raises questions about compatibility with existing FX3 batteries, chargers, and accessories. We expect Sony to clarify this at the time of the official announcement.

FX3 II or FX4? Naming Debate

Recent social media discussion has included speculation about whether Sony might call the new camera FX4 instead of FX3 II.

And this has been started by one of the most trusted sources, Camera Insider, the Twitter account, but what I personally believe here, that is my personal take, that Sony will follow up the regular naming convention, and after Sony FX3, we will have the FX3 Mark II model. If Sony announces the Sony FX4, it will be a step-up model than the FX3 series. And yes, the probability does exist about the appearance of the FX4, since we do have the FX2 announcement in the past, and if Sony wants to continue to explore the possibilities about the expansion of the Sony FX series, then yes, the FX4 does have a strong chance here.

How This Fits Sony’s 2026 Camera Roadmap

Sony has been unusually active with certifications in 2026:

  • February 2026: A7R VI (ILCE-7RM6) registered
  • April 24, 2026: ILME-FX* + entry-level model registered

This suggests Sony is preparing multiple launches throughout 2026. The FX3 II is currently tipped for a possible announcement window around August 2026 (ahead of IBC), though this remains speculative.

What We Still Don’t Know

  • Exact sensor specifications (rumors of a partially stacked sensor for faster readout have circulated but are unconfirmed)
  • Internal recording formats and frame rate capabilities
  • Viewfinder or LCD upgrades
  • Pricing and availability (India/US)

Current FX3 Still Excellent – But Update Is Welcome

The original Sony FX3 remains one of the best compact full-frame cinema cameras available in 2026. The price of the camera is around $4298 at Amazon.com, and only a few units are left in stock. . However, after more than four years on the market, an update addressing rolling shutter, autofocus performance in video, and modern connectivity (Wi-Fi 6, better streaming options) would be very well received.

Bottom Line

Yes, we do need an FX3 II update. The ILME-FX* registration by Shanghai Suoguang is the strongest official signal yet that a new compact Cinema Line camera – almost certainly the FX3 II – is in development. While we don’t have full specifications yet, the manufacturing location, model prefix, and connectivity details align perfectly with expectations for an FX3 successor.

We’ll continue monitoring regulatory filings and credible sources for more details. As always, take all pre-announcement information with the usual grain of salt.

DJI Pocket 3 camera major deals are going on at Amazon USA website, and if you are in the United States of America, then obviously June 2026 does have a lot to offer if you’re planning to buy a pocket gimbal camera at an affordable price, and since Amazon right now is running Father’s Day deals and after June 21, we have another set of Prime day deals coming in, so we will be updating this page regularly to make sure you have the best pricing possible of the DJI Pocket 3 camera.

The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 remains one of the best pocket-sized vlogging cameras available in 2026, under budget. With its 1-inch CMOS sensor, buttery-smooth 3-axis gimbal, 4K/120fps video, and intelligent ActiveTrack, it delivers pro-level footage without the bulk of a traditional camera rig.

Right now on Amazon.com, you can grab excellent deals on both the standard model and the popular Creator Combo – perfect timing ahead of Prime Day (expected June 23–27).

Recommendation for US buyers: Go with the Creator Combo unless you already own good wireless mics. The included DJI Mic makes a massive difference for clear voiceover and interview audio.

Pocket 3 is highly recommended for anyone, those who loves to do vlogging stuff and wants to have a pocket gimbal camera from DJI. The best part is that Pocket 3 is the 3rd generation of the Pocket series gimbal camera from DJI, and available at a budget range. The most important piece of advice is do not save your money in purchasing the standalone version of the vlogging camera. The best thing is to purchase the Creator Combo, where you are getting a microphone which will help you to get clear voice input, and obviously, which is one of the important things for a content creator to have clear audio.

Why the Osmo Pocket 3 Still Dominates in 2026

When DJI launched the Osmo Pocket 3 in late 2023, it quickly became the gold standard for solo content creation. In fact, in several Asian markets, the Pocket 3 reportedly captured over 50% of video camera sales in its category during peak periods — a level of dominance few cameras achieve. Even today, it remains one of the most recommended cameras for creators who want cinematic results without carrying a full rig.

  • 1-inch CMOS sensor — Excellent detail and low-light performance (far better than most phone or action cameras)
  • 4K/120fps + 3-axis mechanical gimbal — Cinematic, shake-free footage straight out of camera
  • ActiveTrack 4.0 — Smart face/object tracking that actually works reliably
  • Rotatable touchscreen — Designed for vloggers (flip it for perfect selfie framing)
  • Pocket-sized portability — Take it on every US road trip, national park visit, or city adventure without thinking twice
  • Long battery life + easy expansion in the Combo

Bottom Line

These are some of the best prices we’ve seen on the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 in months. With Prime Day coming soon, now is a smart time to buy if you’ve been waiting.
