DJI Osmo 360 II camera to be announced next week

The post DJI Osmo 360 II camera officially announced appeared first on Photo Rumors.

The first leaked pictures of the DJI Osmo Nano 2 and DJI Osmo Action 7 cameras appeared on Chinese social media:

• Osmo Nano 2: Successor to the original Osmo Nano (launched September 23, 2025), the small modular/wearable camera with the 1/1.3-inch sensor, magnetic design, and Vision Dock.
• Osmo Action 7: Successor to the Osmo Action 6 (launched mid-November 2025), DJI’s current rectangular flagship with the square-ish 1/1.1-inch sensor and variable aperture.

Both cameras are expected to be released by the end of 2026.

New US tariffs on imported drones will take effect on September 3rd. President Trump signed a Section 232 proclamation imposing new tariffs on imported unmanned aircraft systems and components, citing national security and over-reliance on foreign supply chains. These new tariffs stack on top of existing duties and restrictions in place since late December 2025. Here are the details:

• 25% ad valorem on drones with a maximum takeoff weight of 25 kg (≈55 lb) or less – this covers the majority of consumer and prosumer drones (DJI Mini, Air, Mavic, Avata series, etc).
• 100% on drones over 25 kg, any drones that integrate thermal imagers, and docking stations.
• A further 25% on additional components takes effect later (around February 2027) to allow supply-chain adjustment.
• Lower rates for qualifying products from certain allies (15% for EU, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, 10% for the UK)

Additional drone bans

The FCC has a live proposal (Public Notice DA 26-758) that would prohibit further importation and marketing of certain previously authorized foreign-made drones that fall into “military-grade” capability categories. One of those categories covers drones with integrated LiDAR sensing. Multiple reports explicitly name the Mini 5 Pro (along with the Air 3S, Avata 360, and Neo 2) because it uses a short-range forward-facing LiDAR for obstacle avoidance. If the FCC adopts the proposal, the sales/import restriction would typically take effect after a transition period (often around 180 days). Existing Mini 5 Pro units that owners already have remain fully legal to fly. The rules do not brick or ground drones already in private hands.
