Insta360 has finally responded to DJI’s patent infringement lawsuits by filing two countersuits in the United States, claiming that DJI has infringed five of its utility patents.
Why is this happening? Insta360 moved quickly here; the official information comes just two days after DJI filed lawsuits against Insta360 on June 10, 2026 – the same day Insta360 officially launched its new Luna Ultra pocket gimbal camera.
What Happened
So, we are going to break down exactly what happened after the DJI lawsuit, so it all started on June 10, when DJI filed two separate patent lawsuits against Insta360 (Arashi Vision Inc.) in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The lawsuits target Insta360’s newly launched Luna series gimbal cameras.
DJI is seeking a permanent injunction to block the sale of the Luna Ultra in the United States, along with damages.
In response, Insta360 filed two countersuits on June 12, asserting that DJI products infringe on its own patents.
DJI’s Allegations
According to court filings, DJI claims that Insta360’s Luna Ultra infringes on:
- 2 design patents — alleging that the Luna Ultra copies the design and appearance of the Osmo Pocket 3.
- 4 utility patents — related to usability features and functionality.
DJI argues that the Luna Ultra was developed using technology protected by its patents.
Insta360 Fires Back with Countersuits
Insta360 is in strong backfire mode and has strongly rejected DJI’s claims and filed countersuits asserting infringement of five utility patents covering key gimbal and camera technologies. These include:
- Gimbal stabilization
- Gimbal directional control
- Camera smooth stabilization
- Telemetry overlay
- Panoramic video stabilization
Insta360 claims these patented technologies are used across several DJI product lines, including the Osmo Pocket series, Ronin/RS series, Osmo Mobile series, and Osmo 360 cameras.
Official Statement from Insta360 Founder JK Liu
Insta360 Founder JK Liu issued a strong statement defending the company’s position:
“At Insta360, we prefer to let our products do the talking. But we are not afraid of a legal battle when challenged. We are fully committed to protecting our innovations and will take decisive action to defend our intellectual property from infringement.”
He further stated:
“Luna Ultra is the result of years of independent R&D, not a response to any competitor’s product. Development began in 2020, with earlier Insta360 products including the ONE R, Link Series webcams, and Flow Series gimbals helping shape the technology and design direction behind Luna Ultra. DJI filing lawsuits on the same day we launched Luna Ultra speaks volumes — exposing their fear of competition from a highly competitive product.”
Buyer Advisory: Will This Affect Insta360 Availability in the USA?
Now, if you are worried about the availability of the Insta360 products in the USA market, here is a quick breakdown for you of what is expected to happen next and why you should not be worried at all about the availability of Insta360 products.
| Time Frame | Risk Level | What It Means |
| Next 1–3 months | Very Low | No impact expected. Cases are too new. |
| Next 6–12 months | Low | Unlikely to affect sales significantly. |
| 1–2 years later | Low to Medium | Possible changes, but not guaranteed. |
Key Points:
- These lawsuits are still in the very early stages. No court has made any decision yet.
- Insta360 has filed strong countersuits, which shows they are prepared to fight.
- Even if DJI wins some claims in the future, it usually results in settlements or licensing deals rather than a complete ban on products.
- Right now, the Luna Ultra and all other Insta360 cameras remain fully available for purchase and shipping in the USA with no restrictions.
Bottom line for buyers: There is no need to rush or delay your purchase due to these lawsuits at this time. The situation is unlikely to affect product availability in the short term.
What This Means
This is not new for sure, Both companies have a history of patent disputes. In March 2026, DJI filed a lawsuit in China alleging that Insta360 infringed on drone-related patents developed by former DJI employees. Insta360 had denied those claims and stated that all innovations were developed independently.
This latest legal battle marks a significant escalation in the ongoing rivalry between Insta360 and DJI in the pocket gimbal camera segment. While DJI is attempting to block or restrict the Luna Ultra in the U.S. market, Insta360 is positioning itself as the innovator being targeted for creating a competitive product.
Bottom Line
This time, Insta360 is taking an aggressive stance by filing countersuits rather than simply defending itself. The company appears confident in its intellectual property and is framing DJI’s legal action as an attempt to hinder competition against its new flagship pocket camera.
We will continue to monitor this case and provide updates as new information becomes available.
