The Osmo Pocket 4 Pro launched internationally June 29–30 (DJI Japan first) at a China price of CNY 3,799 (~$525) — still US-blocked, the fifth consecutive direct ban casualty. As of early July: the Osmo 360 II's June window has closed with no announcement (now in Q3), and the Air 4 still has no FCC filing — pushing a realistic launch to late 2026 / early 2027. DJI's US consumer pipeline stays frozen; the June 16 FCC 'toy drone' re-entry lane for rivals like Parrot and Wingtra still excludes DJI by name.

Latest DJI Rumor Articles

DJI News Roundup: Week of June 22 – 29, 2026

Jun 29, 2026

Last week we said the Pocket 4 Pro's pricing silence had become a forfeit; this week it broke — but the launch routes around the US, not toward it. DJI answered on the two fronts it's allowed to win, shipping its flagship pocket camera worldwide and publishing a first-responder playbook for American police, while the doors Washington shut stayed shut. Five stories, in priority order, with our take on each.

DJI News Roundup: Week of June 16 – 22, 2026

Jun 22, 2026

Last week we predicted the jump from civil fines to a criminal charge; this week it landed — and a DJI Mini 3 Pro is now named in a federal charging document, as World Cup seizures climbed into the dozens. In Washington, the FCC opened a re-entry lane for foreign drones that excludes DJI by name, while DJI itself spent the week shipping enterprise gear into the exact segment the ban is premised on. Five stories, in priority order, with our take on each.

DJI News Roundup: Week of June 9 – 15, 2026

Jun 15, 2026

Last week we said the World Cup's first drone seizure was almost certain; this week the FBI delivered it — nine drones confiscated and seven operators fined in opening weekend. Meanwhile DJI's US pipeline slid from stalled to shut: the Air 4's FCC deadline passed with no filing, the Pocket 4 Pro hit week five of pricing silence, and DJI's own court filing means no legal relief before November. Five stories, in priority order, with our take on each.

DJI News Roundup: Week of June 2 – 8, 2026

Jun 8, 2026

This was the week the airspace closed while the product pipeline stayed shut. World Cup drone TFRs went live June 1 — including 100+ surprise no-fly bubbles in cities hundreds of miles from any match — while every DJI product thread stalled: no Pocket 4P price, no Osmo 360 II launch, no Air 4 FCC filing. Five stories, in priority order, with our take on each.

DJI News Roundup: Week of May 25 – June 1, 2026

Jun 1, 2026

This was the week DJI fought back with evidence. An independent US cybersecurity firm bought DJI gear off the shelf, tested it for five months, and found nothing; the FCC comment docket crossed 3,000; and the FAA turned 11 World Cup stadiums into no-drone zones with FBI seizure authority. Five stories — in priority order, with our take on each.

DJI News Roundup: Week of May 18 – 24, 2026

May 26, 2026

This was the week the FCC fight stopped being only about DJI. Autel filed a reply that publicly broke ranks, Michigan's 15-bill state-drone-ban package collapsed in committee, and DJI quietly engineered the Air 4 into a sub-250g class that sidesteps the FCC pathway entirely. Six stories — in priority order, with our take on each.

DJI News Roundup: Weeks of May 4 – 17, 2026

May 18, 2026

DJI used two weeks to anoint the Pocket 4P as a cinema product at Cannes rather than a consumer product at its own event, absorb a fourth US-block casualty with Osmo Mobile 8P, watch the FCC fight enter its most adversarial phase, and collect NAB hardware that validates the pivot. Here's what happened — in priority order, with our take on each.

DJI News Roundup: Week of April 27 – May 3, 2026

May 4, 2026

DJI made more news in seven days than most companies make in a quarter. A new product launched (and got blocked from US sale, again). A major event got teased. The FCC fight escalated to a $1.56 billion court filing. And DJI's home market joined the regulatory pile-on. Here's what happened, in priority order, with our take on each.

DJI "Wonders in Your Palm" Recap: Osmo Mobile 8P With FrameTap Remote

May 4, 2026

DJI's 'Wonders in Your Palm' event happened on May 7, 2026, and the star was the Osmo Mobile 8P smartphone gimbal — built around a detachable FrameTap remote with its own touchscreen, ActiveTrack 8.0, and Apple DockKit support. It launched globally from EUR 159 but, for the second Osmo Mobile launch running, skipped the US over the FCC ban. Here's the full recap of what DJI actually unveiled.

DJI Lito X1 & Lito 1 Leaked: Full Design Breakdown

Apr 8, 2026

DJI launched the Lito 1 and Lito X1 on April 23, 2026 — the sub-250g pair that retires the Mini brand worldwide. Here’s the confirmed spec sheet, real pricing, and why neither drone is coming to the US.

Frequently Asked Questions

What DJI products are coming in 2026?

DJI has released the RS 5, Avata 360, Power 1000 Mini, Osmo Pocket 4, Lito 1 + Lito X1, Mic Mini 2, Osmo Mobile 8P, and the Osmo Pocket 4 Pro so far in 2026. The Pocket 4 (Apr 16), Lito (Apr 23), Mic Mini 2 (Apr 28), Osmo Mobile 8P (May 7), and the Pocket 4 Pro (revealed at Cannes May 14, launched internationally June 29–30) all shipped globally but are blocked from US sale — five consecutive direct FCC-ban casualties. Still upcoming: Air 4, Osmo 360 II, Avata 3, and Osmo Action 7 — at various stages of rumor, leak, or FCC confirmation.

When did the DJI Pocket 4 launch and how much does it cost?

The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 launched globally on April 16, 2026 at $499 for the base model and $649–$749 for the Creator Combo — blocked from US sale (no FCC authorization). DJI revealed the Osmo Pocket 4 Pro at Cannes on May 14, 2026 — dual cameras (20mm f/2.0 1-inch main + 60mm-equivalent 3× telephoto on a 1/1.5-inch sensor), ActiveTrack 7.0, 10-bit D-Log2 — and launched it internationally on June 29–30, 2026 (DJI Japan first) at a China price of CNY 3,799 (~$525); official EU/US-dollar pricing hasn't been published, and the Pro is also blocked from US sale.

Is the DJI Air 4 confirmed?

Not officially. An early-2026 prototype screenshot leaked first, then in May 2026 the first registry-level sighting surfaced — the Air 4 was caught in a Chinese flight-filing app. The leaks point to a sub-250g body with camera and obstacle-avoidance upgrades over the Air 3S. A global launch was expected mid-2026, but with no official announcement and — as of early July — no FCC filing, that now looks unlikely; late 2026 or early 2027 is the realistic window, and US availability remains in doubt.

Will DJI products be available in the US in 2026?

DJI products remain available in the US, though some launches face delays due to the Countering CCP Drones Act. The Avata 360, for example, launched globally on March 26 but US Amazon availability was delayed to March 30. See our complete US availability guide at djirumor.com/dji-us-availability for the full breakdown of the ban, product availability, and where to buy.

What is the DJI Lito?

The DJI Lito is a new sub-250g drone product line. Both models — Lito 1 (€339 / £299) and Lito X1 (€419 / £369) — launched globally on April 23, 2026 but are not sold in the US. No FCC authorization has been filed; the Lito is the second direct DJI-ban casualty after the Osmo Pocket 4 (Apr 16).
