DJI Osmo is the part of DJI that has nothing to do with drones — the gimbal cameras, action cameras, 360 cameras and microphones — and in 2026 its defining story is geography rather than hardware.
Deeper coverage sits in the sub-hubs: the Osmo Pocket line and Osmo Action. The policy machinery behind the absences is on the FCC desk. Every Osmo story lands in the feed below.
Key facts
What it covers
DJI's non-drone camera range: Osmo Pocket gimbal cameras, Osmo Action, the Osmo 360 series, and the Mic audio line
The recurring theme
Global launches that skip the United States, and US listings at prices DJI never set
DJI put the Osmo 360 II on sale in China at 3,299 yuan, about $460, with native 8K60 panoramic video, swappable lenses, and 105GB of storage — while its US store answers the launch with a 404 page.
DJI opened reservations for the Osmo 360 II in China on August 7 and confirmed an August 13 launch. Swappable lenses answer the first generation's loudest complaint — and the US still has no price or date.
DJI confirms the Osmo Pocket 4P worldwide launch for July 30, 2026 at 12:00 GMT. The dual-lens gimbal camera has no US path under the FCC Covered List.
Only one of DJI's Pocket 4, Pocket 4P, and Insta360's Luna Ultra is legal to buy in the US. Specs, the 32-bit float catch, and the patent fight, compared.
DJI confirmed the launch of the Mic Mini 2S for July 2, 2026 at 8 p.m. local time, adding 14.5 GB of internal storage and 24-bit / 32-bit floating point recording to the smallest wireless microphone in the company’s audio line. The launch closes the biggest gap between the budget Mini line and DJI’s flagship…
The Osmo Pocket 3 is dropping to $378 on Amazon this week, down from its $499 list price. That matters because the Osmo Pocket 4 just launched, and what most people do not understand is that the new model did not make the Pocket 3 obsolete. It made it cheaper without making it worse. Here…

Frequently asked questions
Why do DJI Osmo products launch without a US price?
Because the US market has become the exception rather than the default for DJI. The Osmo 360 II launched with 8K60 and no American price, and the Pocket 4P launched worldwide with the US left off entirely — a pattern driven by the import and regulatory fight rather than by demand.
Can I buy US-excluded DJI Osmo products anyway?
Units reach US Amazon listings, but at prices DJI never set. That is a different transaction from an official purchase, with different pricing and different support expectations, and it is worth understanding before you spend.
Which Osmo camera should I buy?
Start with the format: Pocket for a stabilised gimbal camera you carry everywhere, Action for a rugged mountable camera, 360 for reframing in the edit. Then check US availability, because for this range that is often the binding constraint.
