DJI and Insta360 are involved in a patent dispute over action and vlogging gimbal cameras. DJI has filed lawsuits targeting Insta360’s Luna line, which it says is too similar to DJI’s Osmo Pocket models. According to multiple outlets, DJI brings two separate cases, alleging that Insta360 violates several patents tied to the Osmo Pocket series. One case centers on design patent claims, while another alleges utility patent infringements tied to specific technologies used in gimbal or camera systems.
Insta360 responds by countersuing DJI. Outlets reporting on the countersuit say Insta360 alleges DJI infringes multiple utility patents covering technologies used in gimbal and 360-degree camera systems, and that these technologies are used across several DJI products, including Osmo Pocket, Osmo Mobile/Ronin/RS lines, and Osmo 360.
In parallel, TechNode reports DJI has also initiated a patent ownership dispute in China at the Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court involving six disputed technologies and alleges involvement by former core DJI R&D employees. The case is described as accepted by the court, adding an additional legal track to the broader U.S. patent battle.
