DJI's Osmo Pocket 3 Dominates Video Camera Market for Over a Year, Competitors Eye 2026

DJI's Osmo Pocket 3 has dominated the stock market today, holding the top spot for over a year with annual sales of around 5 million units. Its popularity among social media creators has significantly boosted DJI's market share. However, the tech giant is not expected to release a successor until late 2026, leaving room for competitors like Xiaomi, Dreame, Vivo, and Oppo to evaluate creating rival products.

The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 has held the top spot for 11 months straight, thanks to its compact design and impressive features. It received a firmware update in February 2023, adding a hybrid zoom mode and enhanced stabilization AI. Despite its success, DJI is not rushing to replace the hardware, with rumors suggesting a potential Osmo Pocket 4 featuring a two-camera design not expected until late 2026.

Meanwhile, other tech companies are exploring the possibility of launching competing products. Oppo is reportedly developing a similar handheld gimbal camera, aiming for a 2026 release. Xiaomi, Dreame, and Vivo are also evaluating the feasibility of creating rival products to challenge the DJI Osmo Pocket 3's dominance. As of October 2025, no specific competitor product has been publicly announced or confirmed by any manufacturer.

The DJI Osmo Pocket 3's reign at the top of the stock market today is set to continue for another two years, but competitors are gearing up to challenge its supremacy. With DJI's slow pace in releasing a successor and the growing interest from other tech giants, the market for handheld gimbal cameras is poised for some exciting developments in the coming years.
