Last week, DJI filed two lawsuits against Insta360 alleging that the company violated a total of six patents held by DJI. Now, Insta360 has responded to DJI’s lawsuits by countersuing the company.

Over the weekend, Insta360 filed two lawsuits against DJI in a Texas District Court alleging that DJI violated five utility patents held by Insta360.

According to Insta360, DJI’s products, including the Osmo Pocket series, Ronin/RS series, Osmo Mobile, and Osmo 360, infringe upon Insta360’s patents related to gimbal stabilization, camera stabilization, telemetry overlay, and more.

The company also said outright that its countersuits are in response to DJI’s lawsuits that were filed the day the Insta360 Luna Ultra was launched. Insta360 founder JK Liu said in a statement:

Insta360’s lawsuits allege that DJI has been willfully infringing upon its patents, including the “8,938,161 patent,” and has been aware of these infringements since at least August 2017, or since June 4, 2026, when Insta360 submitted a written notice to the company identifying the patent in question.

Insta360 is asking the court to order DJI to pay damages, including lost profits, royalty, and supplemental damages, including pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. These countersuits further complicate the legal battle between DJI and Insta360, and the court’s decision is likely to have a major impact on both companies’ products in the US.

We have reached out to DJI for a comment, and will update this story when we hear back.
