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 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 confirmed a global launch event for May 7, 2026 at 12:00 UTC. Two products are on deck: the Osmo Mobile 8P global rollout (already on sale in China since April 21) and an expected Pocket 4 Pro reveal with dual-lens optics. Here's the complete preview, what we know about each product, and what US buyers should expect given the ongoing FCC ban fight.
DJI Pocket 3 just hit $419 — a record low, down from $799 last year. The Pocket 4 is a modest upgrade you also can't buy in the US anyway. Sometimes the better deal is just the one you can actually get.
