DJI appears to be evolving its compact imaging lineup amid regulatory pressures and intensified competition. Reports suggest DJI may rebrand its Pocket 4/4P gimbal cameras as “Xtra” to preserve U.S. sales despite restrictions, while leaks and local listings point to an Osmo Pocket 4P featuring a 1-inch main sensor plus a 70mm 3x optical module. Rival Insta360 is also raising the bar: the leaked Luna Ultra packs dual cameras, a Leica‑co‑developed 3x zoom module, removable controls and high‑frame‑rate 6K/4K capture, targeting creators seeking premium, pocketable gimbal rigs. Concurrent drone leaks (Air 4) show DJI balancing lightweight portability across devices.
Compact gimbal cameras are a fast-moving segment for creator hardware and changes affect product strategy, supply chains and market access. Tech professionals should note regulatory workarounds, competitive feature pushes and potential rebranding implications for distribution and compliance.

DJI is reportedly preparing to sell its Pocket 4 and Pocket 4P gimbal cameras in the U.S. under a different brand, Xtra, to evade an American sales ban. Android Authority first reported the claim, and Xtra's own channels have teased products named Xtra Muse 2/Pro that resemble the Pocket 4 series. The Pocket 4P is said to keep a 1-inch sensor, offer a variable aperture (f/1.7–f/2.8), a 3x optical 70mm equivalent lens with up to 12x hybrid zoom, 10-bit D-Log, upgraded SmartFollow 7.0, a 2.5-inch 1000-nit display, and a 2000mAh battery. If accurate, rebranding would let DJI maintain U.S. market presence despite regulatory restrictions, raising questions about enforcement and supply-chain workarounds.
Insta360’s upcoming Luna Ultra gimbal camera has leaked via promotional images and certification photos, revealing a detachable magnetic front handle with a removable 2-inch OLED screen that doubles as a remote. Priced at about ¥5,299 for the body and ¥6,499 for a full kit, the dual-camera Luna Ultra pairs a 1-inch f/1.8 main sensor with a 3x optical zoom Leica‑co‑developed module, offering 6x lossless / 12x hybrid zoom and video up to 6K@50fps, 4K@120fps with 10‑bit i‑Log and Dolby Vision. It uses a three‑axis mechanical gimbal, records 48kHz 32‑bit AAC audio with noise reduction, and supports the Insta360 Mic Pro wireless microphone—positioning it as a strong competitor to DJI Pocket‑style devices. Why it matters: the Luna Ultra targets creators seeking high‑end sensors, optical zoom and modular controls in a compact gimbal camera.
DJI’s next consumer drone, the Air 4, surfaced in an app screenshot shared by leaker Igor Bogdanov, suggesting it has entered regulatory filing. The listing in the DJI app identifies the model as “DJI Air 4” and classifies it under consumer imaging, prompting reports that the drone could be under 250 grams—significantly lighter than the 724-gram Air 3S. A sub-250g weight would ease portability and lower regulatory burdens for consumers. DJI’s Air 3S, launched in October 2024 with a dual-camera system and forward LiDAR obstacle avoidance, remains the current Air-series flagship. The leak signals DJI may be expanding lightweight, travel-focused options in its consumer lineup.
