DJI Raises Price of the Osmo Pocket 3 From $519 to $799 As Tariffs Start to Hit the US
Kicking off a trend of headlines you’re likely to see not just here, but across the board for all industries and sectors in the United States, tariffs and other economic and geopolitical factors are causing prices to rise.Over the past few weeks, DJI has quietly raised the price on one of its most popular products—the Osmo Pocket 3—from the $519 price point it was originally released at to $799, where it now sits. The price hike actually came in two stages, and who knows where it ultimately ends up from here.Let’s take a look at the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 with this new price point, and explore what other cameras, gimbals, and other gear might see similar price hikes here soon.DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Price HikeAccording to reporting done by The Verge, which reached out to DJI for comment on the price hikes for the Osmo Pocket 3 specifically, the Chinese company that has already faced a long potential drone ban in the United States that’s still not completely resolved doesn’t cite the tariffs by the Trump administration as the clear cut reason for the price increase, but the company does conclude that tariffs “are certainly among the key considerations.”The two price hikes now represent a 54% price increase, which is pretty significant for a product that’s designed for low or no-budget content creators. And it’s not just the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 itself that’s getting a price hike; the Creator Combo kit option for the Osmo Pocket 3 that includes additional accessories has seen its price increase from $669 at launch to $979 now.Without getting too much into politics or trying to forecast the future, it does appear that these price increases are likely to stick for some time and that DJI would be expected to increase their prices for nearly all of their products in the US — and their competitors are likely to all do the same.The DJI Osmo Pocket 3It’s a shame, too, as the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 has been quite well received and, by all accounts, is selling very well so far. Boasting a wide range of upgrades over its predecessor, the Osmo Pocket 3 features a 1" CMOS sensor with full-pixel fast focusing, ensuring high-quality, low-noise footage acquisition even in high-contrast environments and with resolutions up to UHD 4K120.The Osmo Pocket 3 also features three built-in microphones that capture stereophonic sound while reducing ambient noise, and new software enhancements bring ActiveTrack 6.0 to your fingertips for precise subject tracking in both photo and video modes with smart horizontal and vertical shooting modes as well as D-Log M and 10-bit support.If you’re curious about checking out the Osmo Pocket 3, and perhaps getting your hands on one before any other price increases hit, here are the full specs and purchase options.3-Axis Gimbal Mechanical Stabilizer1" CMOS Sensor, Full-Pixel Fast FocusingUp to 4K120 Resolution2" Rotatable ScreenSmart Horizontal/Vertical ShootingD-Log M & 10-Bit SupportActive Track 6.0, Stereo RecordingUp to 166 Minutes of Battery LifeUSB-C PD Cable IncludedWi-Fi & Bluetooth SupportDJI Osmo Pocket 3Capture steady and smooth motion videos with the DJI Osmo Pocket 3.

DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Price Hike
According to reporting done by The Verge, which reached out to DJI for comment on the price hikes for the Osmo Pocket 3 specifically, the Chinese company that has already faced a long potential drone ban in the United States that’s still not completely resolved doesn’t cite the tariffs by the Trump administration as the clear cut reason for the price increase, but the company does conclude that tariffs “are certainly among the key considerations.”
The two price hikes now represent a 54% price increase, which is pretty significant for a product that’s designed for low or no-budget content creators.
