Here is what we know so far about the upcoming DJI Osmo Pocket 4P:
Dual-lens Pro design leaked: The Pocket 4P features a dual-camera setup with a main wide-angle lens paired with a telephoto (and possibly ultrawide) lens for optical zoom. Leaked images clearly show two distinct camera modules on the front, unlike the single-lens standard Pocket 4.
Optical zoom upgrade: Rumored 3x–4x optical zoom via the secondary telephoto lens (surpassing the standard model’s 2x lossless/in-sensor zoom). This is positioned as a key Pro differentiator for vlogging and creative work.
Staggered launch timeline: Expected announcement and release in June 2026 (or possibly late May/early summer). This follows the standard Osmo Pocket 4’s global reveal on April 16, 2026, reportedly to avoid sales overlap. Early review units have already been distributed.
Rumored pricing: Base model expected to start around $700 (premium positioning over the standard ~$499 Pocket 4).
Shared core features with standard model (with Pro enhancements): Likely retains the 1-inch CMOS sensor, 3-axis gimbal stabilization, rotatable touchscreen, ActiveTrack 7.0, 10-bit D-Log, and high dynamic range, but with superior zoom and possibly 6K/ higher-end video options in some speculative reports.
The previously rumored DJI Osmo Pocket 4 camera is now officially announced with a 1″ sensor, 4k/240fps video, and 14 stops of dynamic range. The new model will not be available in the US for now. In Europe, you can get one at Foto Erhardt and at WEX Photo.
Here are the main specifications:
Sensor & Gimbal: 1-inch CMOS sensor mounted on a 3-axis mechanical gimbal in a single-lens configuration.
Video Resolution & Framerate: Up to 4K resolution at 240fps, allowing for high-quality slow-motion capture.
Dynamic Range: 14 stops of dynamic range for enhanced detail in high-contrast lighting situations.
Color Profile: 10-bit D-Log, providing greater flexibility for cinematic HDR color grading in post-production.
Zoom: 2x lossless zoom utilizing a sensor crop, controlled via a new dedicated physical zoom button on the handle for single-handed operation.
Autofocus & Tracking: Upgraded to ActiveTrack 7.0 with intelligent autofocus to lock onto and track moving subjects more reliably.
Internal Storage: 107GB of high-speed built-in storage with 800MB/s transfer speeds.The standard model eliminates the need for an external microSD card.
Audio: Built-in quad-channel (OsmoAudio) system capable of capturing immersive, 360-degree sound.
Display: Retains the signature rotatable touchscreen interface.
DJI Avata 360 Sets New Standards for Immersive 360 FPV Flying
Equipped with DJI’s flagship 1-inch imaging, O4+ video transmission, and omnidirectional obstacle sensing, creators can now film 360 footage in 8K with ease
SHENZHEN, China, March 26, 2026 – DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, today launches Avata 360. Designed to unlock endless creativity in one take[1], DJI’s new 8K 360° flagship drone delivers 360° imaging with 1-inch-equivalent sensors[1] for filming in 8K/60fps HDR video. Meanwhile, DJI’s powerful O4+ video transmission system and obstacle sensing[1] enable creators to see farther with a more stable, safer, and more immersive flight experience. Paired with DJI goggles and motion controllers, the latest addition to the popular Avata series delivers an immersive 360° flight experience for FPV thrills. Creators can also use DJI remote controllers to capture a full 360° view in a single flight that can be reframed from any perspective, transforming a single take into multiple creative possibilities.
Brilliant Imaging, Boundless Creativity
Avata 360 offers two different lenses that can be seamlessly switched. The 360° lens uses 1-inch-equivalent sensors[1] that can capture 360° images in rich detail for 8K/60fps HDR videos[1] and 120 MP photos. With the large 2.4 μm pixels and high dynamic range, light and shadow are also captured with exquisite clarity. Both video and photos can be exported directly or reframed in post-production. Meanwhile, the Single Lens mode allows creators to use the classic Avata-style filming in 4K/60fps[1].
Powerful Video Transmission, Immersive Flight
Avata 360 leverages DJI’s flagship O4+ video transmission system to deliver stable and clear live feeds for smoother, more immersive flights. Its strong anti-interference capabilities enable high-definition, high-frame-rate transmission at 1080p/60fps and support a range of up to 20 km[1].
Fly With Confidence, Create With Ease
Avata 360 offers up to 23 minutes of flight time[1] and includes several standard safety features, including nightscape omnidirectional obstacle sensing[1] and integrated propeller guards. If damaged, the camera lens can be easily replaced with the DJI Avata 360 replacement lens kit with tools (sold separately). It also brings an exceptional experience to aerial content creation, where a single shot with the drone’s 360° imaging can be transformed into multiple, masterful creations through post production using the DJI Fly and DJI Studio apps, including:
Spotlight Free – Locks onto a moving subject and assists with camera movement, replicating the sophisticated camera language like a pro with Inspire 3. By comparison, Spotlight locks onto your subject’s face to effortlessly capture Circle or Dronie shots without manual adjustments.
ActiveTrack 360°[1] – Automatically selects the optimal tracking mode. For example, Standard mode maintains a steady distance and altitude relative to the subject. Meanwhile, Cycling mode reacts faster to turns and keeps the subject in frame even in complex environments.
FPV mode – Enables even novice pilots to adds a natural roll effect to Spotlight Free, ActiveTrack 360°, and manual flights to create dynamic, high-speed FPV-style footage. This mode can be applied in post-production.
Intelligent Tracking – Powered by advanced algorithms, DJI Fly and DJI Studio apps make it effortless to lock onto and smoothly track people, vehicles, pets, and more, even in 360° footage.
New One-Tap In-App Editing – With GyroFrame, 360° footage can be adjusted to an ideal angle and exported in the DJI Fly app. Both DJI Fly and DJI Studio allow camera movement effects to be added.
Virtual Gimbal[1] – Uses a 360° view to enable infinite rotation and tilt for dynamic camera moves. Even when flying in one direction, horizons can be rotated, and perspectives can be shifted to look back or perform a flip.
Replaceable Front Lens Element – The front element features a replaceable design. Purchase a replacement lens kit with tools[1], and you can easily replace the old lens yourself—no need to send it in for repair.
42GB Internal Storage and High-Speed Transfers – With 42GB of internal storage, 30 minutes of 360° video in 8K without a microSD card. Using Wi-Fi 6 High-Speed Transfer, 1 GB of footage can be transferred to the DJI Fly app in 10 seconds at up to 100 MB/s[1].
FPV Flights and Aerial Filming in One Drone
Avata 360 combines the creative freedom of a 360 camera with the thrill of FPV flying like never before. It can be flown with DJI remote controllers (RC 2, RC-N2, RC-N3) for precise camera movement, allowing creators to unlock new ways to create stunning aerial shots. Meanwhile, DJI goggles and motion controllers offer a more immersive flight experience with 360° imaging at 1080p/60fps. Like the Avata 2, aerial acrobatics like drifting can be performed – even by beginners – with the DJI RC Motion 3.

DJI has filed a lawsuit against Insta360 over patent violations. Here is what we know so far:
DJI initiated the lawsuit: DJI filed a patent ownership dispute lawsuit against Insta360 at the Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court in Guangdong Province, China.
Date and timing: The case became public today (March 23, 2026), just days before DJI’s planned launch of its first Avata 360-degree drone, which enters a market segment pioneered by Insta360.
Patents involved: The dispute centers on six patents related to key drone technologies, including flight control, structural design, and image processing/imaging.
DJI’s main allegations: DJI claims these patents cover inventions created by DJI employees within one year of their departure from the company. The inventions are allegedly tied to the employees’ prior duties at DJI, qualifying as “service inventions” under Chinese law (meaning DJI asserts ownership rights).
Former employees link: Reports indicate several former core DJI R&D staff are involved, with some patents showing questionable inventor details (e.g., names hidden in Chinese filings but revealed internationally as ex-DJI engineers).
Court status: The Shenzhen court has officially accepted the case, marking DJI’s first domestic lawsuit of this type focused on patent ownership disputes.
Insta360’s response: Insta360’s securities department stated it is conducting an internal review and verification with its legal team. If the patents are deemed significant, the company will issue a formal announcement.
