The previously rumored Insta360 mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera will have an MFT mount. This was revealed by the latest leaked pictures from China (now removed) – the camera has an Olympus 14-42mm lens attached:

Here is what we know so far about the Insta360 mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera with MFT mount (check the official Insta360 website for updates):

• 20MP Four Thirds sensor (Sony IMX472) with native resolution of 5280 × 3956 pixels (same sensor used in OM System OM-1 II / OM-3).
• No EVF
• Fully articulating/flip-up touchscreen LCD
• Physical dials/wheels for aperture and exposure compensation (a first for Insta360), a dedicated photo/video switch, and a play button (top left), on-screen UI appears similar to that of the Insta360 Ace Pro series
• Face/animal detection autofocus; sample photos leaked showing the 20MP resolution
• Here is a sample picture (5280 × 3956) taken with the new camera and some mockups:

Here is a short recap of the GoPro vs. Insta360 lawsuit results:

• Insta360 won decisively on the tech patents: The ITC ruled no violation on all five utility patents (covering stabilization, horizon leveling, distortion correction, etc.).
• GoPro won narrowly on design: The ITC found infringement of GoPro’s HERO camera body design patent — but only on certain older/legacy Insta360 Ace models. Newer/current Insta360 cameras (including 2025+ versions) do not infringe.
• Practical outcome: Limited Exclusion Order + Cease & Desist Order issued against the specific legacy models only. No impact on Insta360’s current product lineup or U.S. sales/import of new cameras.
• Next steps: Orders subject to 60-day Presidential Review (still ongoing). GoPro could appeal the utility-patent losses, but none have been filed yet.
• Recap: Both sides claimed victory in their press releases, but the ruling is widely seen as a big win for Insta360 on the core innovation issues. The case is effectively over for current products.

DJI has filed a lawsuit against Insta360 over patent violations

The post Update on the GoPro vs. Insta360 lawsuit appeared first on Photo Rumors.

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.

• Stabilization: Features 3-axis gimbal stabilization enhanced by AI for smoother footage, with potential improvements in low-light performance and noise reduction.
• Modular Design: Includes a “Twist” system for easy disassembly, potentially allowing lens swaps or use as a standalone camera module.
• Display: Rotating touchscreen for flexible shooting angles and vlogging convenience.
• Battery: Approximately 1500 mAh capacity, offering around 150-180 minutes of shooting time.
• Other Features: AI-driven image processing, real-time portrait modes, and potential for improved depth sensing and subject tracking due to the dual-camera setup.
• Price Range: Rumored to be priced between $499 and $699, positioning it competitively against rivals like the DJI Osmo Pocket series.
