DJI sues Insta360, claims Luna Ultra copies Osmo Pocket 4P

Perhaps unexpectedly, DJI has taken legal action against Insta360 in the United States. The drone and camera giant alleges that Insta360’s recently unveiled Luna Ultra directly copies key design elements of its own Osmo Pocket 4P.

The lawsuit, filed earlier this week, centers on what DJI claims are patent infringements related to the physical form and functionality of the handheld gimbal camera. Just days ago, Insta360 officially announced the Luna Ultra as a direct competitor to the Osmo Pocket 4P, positioning it as a more versatile alternative for creators.

DJI’s complaint argues that the Luna Ultra’s rotating camera head, stabilization mechanism, and overall chassis design bear more than a passing resemblance to the Pocket 4P. The company is seeking an injunction to halt sales of the Luna Ultra in the U. S. market, along with unspecified damages.

This legal move surprises many industry observers, as both companies are headquartered in China but are now battling in American courts. Insta360 has not yet issued a formal response, though a spokesperson indicated the company is “reviewing the claims and will vigorously defend its intellectual property.”

The dispute highlights the increasingly competitive landscape for compact, stabilized cameras, where form factor and user interface are critical differentiators. For now, consumers and retailers are left waiting to see how the U. S. legal system will weigh the originality of Insta360’s latest offering against DJI’s established design.
