DJI announces the Osmo Pocket 4P, its first pocket-sized gimbal camera featuring two main cameras and a zoom upgrade, building on the Osmo Pocket 4’s 1-inch sensor, 4K/240fps slow motion, and improved tracking.
DJI has filed two US lawsuits accusing Insta360 of infringing its design and utility patents with the Luna Ultra, arguing it closely copies the Osmo Pocket 4P. The design-patent claim covers the elongated handheld body and overall gimbal layout, while four utility patents address features like single-control mode switching, integrated subject tracking with a built-in display, image-driven gimbal commands, and a self-contained tracking system. DJI previously sued Insta360 in China over alleged employee poaching and stolen R&D. It remains to be seen whether the claims will yield an injunction to halt Luna Ultra sales in the US.
The DJI Osmo Pocket 4P cannot launch in the U.S. due to regulatory hurdles, including lack of FCC certification and listing on the FCC’s covered list for national security concerns. DJI appears to release a nearly identical device, the Xtra Muse 2 Pro, under a different brand to maintain U.S. access. Both devices share features like a vertical dual-camera system, 4K slow-motion, 10-bit D-log, ActiveTrack 7.0, and substantial built-in storage, with DJI’s stronger aftersales network potentially influencing buyer decisions. The move illustrates how companies adapt branding to regulatory constraints while continuing to serve key markets.
