US policy aimed at DJI isn’t clearing a path for American brands—it’s clearing one for another Shenzhen rival. Insta360’s X6 launched in the US at $699.99; DJI’s Osmo 360 II stayed China-only the next day. The opening isn’t going where Washington hoped.
Many new DJI products are blocked from US sale by the FCC Covered List. Here's the gear you can order today.
