Quick Take

Six DJI products have passed FCC approval and are confirmed as real: the Osmo Pocket 4, Avata 360 drone, Osmo Mobile 8P, RS5 gimbal, Osmo Frame Tap, and a new drone called Leto. The Mavic 5 is not yet FCC-confirmed but name registrations suggest it is in development. The DJI ban complicates US launch timelines, but these products exist and are coming.

DJI filed FCC approvals for several new products right before the regulatory landscape shifted. FCC approval is the final step before a product launch – so unlike speculation, these are real. Here is everything that is confirmed, what each product actually does, and what the ban means for when you will be able to buy them.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4

Die Osmo Pocket 4 has passed FCC approval and is real. It was expected to launch around December 2025 but missed that window, making an early 2026 release the more realistic timeline. From what has leaked so far, this is a meaningful upgrade to the Pocket line – better sensor, stronger low-light performance, and possibly a dual-camera setup with a wide and a zoom lens. If you are using an older Pocket for travel or vlogging and have been waiting to upgrade, this is worth holding off for. More context on where the current model stands in the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 review.

DJI Avata 360 – a new kind of 360 drone

This is probably the most interesting product on the list. The DJI Avata 360 is not an Avata 3 – it is something new: a drone built from the ground up around a 360 camera, rather than bolting an external camera onto a drone. The problems that approach solves are real – props in the shot, short flight times, fragile rigs. According to leaked specs, it may also function as a more traditional FPV-style drone depending on how you fly it. One drone, multiple shooting modes. DJI does not enter new categories without intending to dominate them.

DJI Osmo Mobile 8P and RS5

Two gimbal upgrades are also confirmed. The Osmo Mobile 8P is the Pro version of DJI’s phone gimbal – designed for heavier setups with lenses, mics, and cages attached, where weaker motors start to show their limits. If you shoot static phone content, this is not for you. If you are constantly moving while filming and loading up your phone with accessories, it matters. The RS5 is aimed at professional camera operators – the main upgrade is a bigger battery for longer shooting days and better camera integration. If you are on an older RS model and use it professionally, worth watching. If your RS4 is working fine, hold off.

DJI Leto – a new drone category

A product called DJI Leto (X1) has passed FCC approval. Leaked images show what appears to be a drone arm with a reinforced structure and space for a motor. The shape does not match any existing DJI model – this looks like a new, compact drone sitting between DJI’s entry-level and more advanced lineup. Details are limited, but if you are considering a small DJI drone purchase, it is worth knowing this exists before buying.

DJI Mavic 5 – not confirmed yet

Die Mavic 5 has not passed FCC approval and is not confirmed in the same way as the other products listed here. Its name has started appearing in registration records, which suggests DJI is working on what comes next in the Mavic lineup – but there is no launch timeline. If you need a Mavic now, the Mavic 4 is the right buy. Do not wait on speculation.

Which DJI products are confirmed for 2026?

Six DJI products have passed FCC approval and are confirmed: the DJI Osmo Pocket 4, DJI Avata 360 drone, DJI Osmo Mobile 8P, DJI RS5, DJI Osmo Frame Tap, and a new drone called DJI Leto. The DJI Mavic 5 has not passed FCC yet and is not officially confirmed.

What is the DJI Avata 360?

The DJI Avata 360 is a new kind of drone with a built-in 360 camera, designed from the ground up around 360 shooting rather than using an external mount. It appears to also function as an FPV-style drone, giving it multiple shooting modes in one device. It has passed FCC approval and is confirmed as real.

Is the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 confirmed?

Yes. The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 has passed FCC approval, which is the final step before product launch. It was expected around December 2025 but missed that window. An early 2026 release is the current expectation. Leaks suggest a bigger sensor and improved low-light performance.

Will DJI still release products in the US despite the ban?

The DJI ban affects new FCC approvals, not products that have already been approved. The products listed here received FCC approval before the regulatory situation changed. US availability and launch timing may still be affected, but the products themselves are real and coming.

Should I wait for the DJI Mavic 5?

Not right now. The Mavic 5 has not passed FCC approval and is not confirmed for launch. Its name appearing in registration records suggests it is in development, but there is no timeline. If you need a Mavic drone now, the Mavic 4 is the right choice.
