DJI used IFA 2026 in Berlin to put Osmo 360 II on a public stage, a second-generation 360 camera that shoots 8K panoramic video at 60 frames per second and lets you replace a cracked lens instead of retiring the whole body. Global shipping for most markets outside Asia starts September 15. Official U.S. store pages still list only the first Osmo 360.
Flipping the two-inch screen open is all it takes to start recording with the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, priced at $399 (was $499). That simple motion turns the camera on and gets you rolling in about two seconds, whether you hold it upright for vertical clips or keep it horizontal for wider scenes. The screen itself rotates freely and stays bright enough to read outdoors at 700 nits, so framing a quick walk-and-talk or a family moment never feels like a chore.
DJI’s smallest wireless microphones just got the one feature that kept a lot of creators from fully trusting them. The Mic Mini 2S keeps the same pocket-sized transmitters that disappear on a collar or lapel, yet each one now carries enough internal storage to record hours of high-quality audio on its own. That single addition turns a convenient clip-on mic into something far more reliable for anyone who has ever lost a take to a dropped signal or a sudden spike in volume.

Insta360 keeps filing patents that point straight at the same light, easy-to-carry drones DJI has been selling to casual pilots and creators. The latest one, utility model CN223865117U, describes a compact aircraft with arms that fold completely into the body and a ring-shaped guard around the propellers. Images from the filing, first noticed in mid-July, show a small black chassis stamped with the company logo and a simple locking system that holds the arms open or closed. The entire package is designed to stay under 250 grams, the legal limit that lets many countries skip the more complicated registration rules.
DJI just released the AP100 Parachute, and the system essentially mounts to the rear of the Matrice 400 enterprise drone and gives operators a reliable option when flight does not go as planned. Enterprise teams use the Matrice 400 for inspection, surveying, and public safety work. Those jobs sometimes take the aircraft over cities or stretch beyond visual range. A sudden power loss or link drop can turn a heavy drone into a fast-falling object. The AP100 changes that outcome by turning an uncontrolled fall into a slower, more predictable descent.
Engineers at DJI selected the north side of Mount Everest as the proving ground for their newest aircraft. The EV50 completed multiple flights that carried research equipment well above the famous peak during the spring 2026 climbing season.
A 360-degree camera records everything in every direction at once. That freedom comes with trade-offs in most models, whether through high prices, fiddly controls, or footage that needs heavy cleanup later. DJI’s first dedicated effort in this category, the Osmo 360, priced at $349 (was $467), arrives with larger sensors than most rivals, strong stabilization, and a price that lands the Standard Combo in a more reachable range for enthusiasts who want immersive video without jumping to the most expensive options on the market.
Weighing just 54 grams, the XTRA Atto, priced at $288.99 (was $449), clips onto a hat brim or shirt collar in seconds and begins turning ordinary movement into steady 4K footage. Its magnetic system makes attachment feel effortless, whether the goal is helmet-point-of-view shots during a ride, a pet’s daily perspective, or simple hands-free clips while walking trails. The camera stays small enough that most people forget it sits there after the first few minutes.
