Flying something, though, is a different category of challenge, and the patent images that appeared in July 2026 show the company working through what a foldable drone looks like with Insta360 DNA. We’re expecting a folding iPhone in September, and Insta360 might give us a folding drone too! The patent images (from patent file CN223865117U), which started making the rounds on July 16th and were highlighted by outlets like Tech Court, are pretty specific. And here’s the kicker: for a company obsessed with 360-degree video, the patent images don’t show a fisheye lens. Insta360 came for DJI’s gimbals, tested the drone market with a sub-brand, and is now preparing a direct assault on DJI’s most accessible drone.
