DJI’s banned Pocket 4P slips into the US market via third-party sellers

DJI’s banned Pocket 4P slips into the US market via third-party sellers

DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4P/4 Pro are banned from import into the US, yet US-based third‑party sellers on Temu, AliExpress, eBay, Mercari, Amazon, and Newegg are selling them, often with fast shipping. The Verge notes a buyer who spent $659.28 for a Pocket 4P Vlog Combo and received it from an Oregon fulfillment center in four days. The FCC revoked some certifications used to ground these cameras, DJI says it does not sell them in the US, and third-party sellers appear to be distributing them anyway, highlighting enforcement gaps and related loopholes like HoverAir Versa.

Trump’s Drone Tariffs Could Push Up Prices for Small Consumer Models

Trump’s Drone Tariffs Could Push Up Prices for Small Consumer Models

Trump announces broad drone tariffs: 100% duties on large UAS with thermal imaging or over 25kg, and 25% on smaller drones under 250g (plus 15% on components from certain countries and 10% for the UK), effectively shrinking the number of affordable consumer drones in the U.S. and likely raising prices. DJI is expected to bear the brunt as newer models face FCC clearance issues, while Antigravity and Insta360 have offered near-competent domestic options; with limited U.S. drone makers and ongoing policy moves, consumer drone access could become pricier and more restricted.

US Drone Rules 2026: What’s Banned, What’s Still Sellable, What to Buy

US Drone Rules 2026: What’s Banned, What’s Still Sellable, What to Buy

The FCC has expanded its Covered List to bar the sale of all foreign-made drones and DJI cameras that aren’t FCC-certified, revoking approvals for several DJI clones and LiDAR-equipped devices. Drones and cameras already approved remain legal to sell and fly under FAA rules, but future models may be removed from the US market. For buyers, older DJI models and non-LiDAR drones that are already approved remain safer options; beginner picks include the DJI Flip or Potensic Atom 2, while experts might consider the DJI Mavic 4 Pro. The 249-gram threshold affects FAA registration, and importing unapproved drones can create compliance issues. There are a few US-made options for professional use, but consumer drones are largely still imported; parts for currently approved devices should continue to be available. The situation is evolving with ongoing litigation from DJI and anticipated further regulatory moves, including potential effects on Hasselblad equipment and model aircraft.

FCC Moves to Ban LiDAR-Equipped Drones It Previously Approved

FCC Moves to Ban LiDAR-Equipped Drones It Previously Approved

The FCC is proposing to extend its drone ban to include LiDAR-equipped models it had previously approved, potentially pulling DJI drones like the Air 3S and Mini Pro 5 from sale due to features such as LiDAR and thermal imaging. The ban would not affect drones already sold or owned, but could bar new units and affect commercial drones used for tasks like spraying or search-and-rescue. The agency is seeking public comments on the proposal until Sept. 2 as it broadens the government’s list of devices deemed a national-security risk. DJI has criticized the move as a reversal of the FCC’s prior stance.

FCC Moves to Retroactively Ban LiDAR-Equipped Drones, Sparking Regulatory Debate

The FCC announced a plan to retroactively revoke authorizations for what it calls “military-grade” drones, broadening the label to include consumer models with LiDAR obstacle avoidance such as DJI’s Air 3S, Avata 360, and Mini 5 Pro. If the policy remains after the Sept. 2 public-comment deadline, these drones could be removed from U.S. shelves, affecting photographers, filmmakers, first responders, farmers, and drone-delivery applications; the agency also flags other LiDAR- or thermal-equipped foreign drones and certain larger or docking-based devices. Public input via the FCC’s Electronic Comment Filing System is encouraged.

FCC to retroactively ban disguised DJI gadgets, hitting Skyrover and Xtra

The FCC plans to use its retroactive authority to ban eight DJI front companies from importing, distributing, marketing, and selling their gadgets in the United States, a move that would wipe out products sold by Skyrover and Xtra (including the Osmo Pocket 3) once the ban takes effect; gadgets already purchased would be exempt, and the commission is opening a 30-day public comment period before any final action; the FCC also says it has temporarily deferred the grantee codes of these companies and is parting ways with SGS-CSTC Shenzhen as a testing lab amid questions about evidence of foreign-threat concerns.

FCC fines eight DJI front firms in crackdown on disguised drone gear

The FCC has fined eight companies tied to DJI $25,000 each for not answering agency inquiries, part of a broader push to curb ‘front’ brands marketing DJI gear in the United States. The agency also added foreign drone makers to its Covered List, enabling retroactive bans on devices that use DJI radios; the FCC is seeking information on whether these brands are marketing radio equipment in the US, with no responses yet. The Verge’s reporting on Xtra and Skyrover is cited, and questions remain about clone products and the fate of related test labs (SGS CTST) connected to Chinese ownership.”,

Alibaba pushes to shed US defense label on Chinese firm list

Alibaba pushes to shed US defense label on Chinese firm list

Alibaba filed a petition in the Northern District of California asking a federal court to remove the Pentagon’s designation of Alibaba as a Chinese military company from the DoD list that bars such entities from U.S. defense contracts, arguing the label has no factual or legal basis and was issued without fair process. The case follows broader tensions over the DoD’s 188-entity list, which Beijing and several companies have protested, and comes as other firms like DJI and WuXi AppTec challenge their own designations. Alibaba says it operates with an independent board and has no military affiliation, countering DoD claims of indirect state links through China’s SASAC and other ministries.

Gimbal Gate: DJI sues Insta360 as Luna Ultra hits US shelves

DJI filed two design patent suits and four utility patent claims against Insta360 over the Luna line, including Luna Ultra, seeking a permanent injunction and damages; Insta360 countersued with five patent-infringement claims. The move comes as Luna Ultra goes on sale in the U.S. while DJI faces U.S. restrictions that block the sale of its Osmo Pocket 4 Pro and other products, intensifying competition in the handheld gimbal camera market.

Insta360 Strikes Back With Five-Patent Counterclaims Against DJI

Insta360 filed two countersuits against DJI in the U.S., alleging five utility patents covering gimbal stabilization, directional control, camera smooth stabilization, telemetry overlays, and panoramic video stabilization are infringed across DJI products such as the Osmo Pocket, Ronin/RS, Osmo Mobile, and Osmo 360. The move comes in response to DJI’s separate design and utility patent lawsuits over Insta360’s Luna Ultra, which Insta360 says was independently developed and not based on DJI technology, and seeks to defend its intellectual property.

DJI escalates patent row with Insta360 over Luna gimbals

DJI filed a US patent-infringement suit in the Eastern District of Texas against Insta360 (Arashi Vision and affiliates), alleging that Insta360’s Luna Ultra and related Luna products infringe DJI’s handheld gimbal patents dating back to the Osmo Pocket era; DJI seeks judgment of infringement, permanent injunction, damages and related relief. Insta360 defends its independence, cites an ITC ruling favorable to Insta360, and says it will continue innovating while litigation proceeds.
