I bought DJI’s banned camera — it was cheap and easy
Thursday, August 20, 2026
DJI Osmo Pocket 4 and Pocket 4 Pro cameras, which are banned from sale in the United States, are available for purchase through online marketplaces including Temu, AliExpress, eBay, and Mercari. The devices can be obtained at lower prices than authorized retailers in other countries. The US banned DJI products in 2024 citing national security concerns related to data transmission.
