DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Price Jumps to $799 Amid US Tariffs

A series of sharp price increases for DJI's Osmo Pocket 3 camera in the US has been attributed primarily to new US tariffs on Chinese imports, which have significantly impacted the China-based company. The camera's price jumped from $519 at launch to $799 as of April, a 54% increase over two months, while the Creator Combo package saw an even greater hike. DJI confirmed that tariffs are a key factor in these increases, although they suggested other unspecified factors may also play a role. Notably, these price hikes are limited to the US market; prices in Europe, the UK, and Japan have remained stable, indicating that global supply or demand is not the main driver. The tariffs have also contributed to widespread out-of-stock notices for DJI's drones on its US site, though some units remain available through third-party retailers. The situation underscores how US-China trade tensions are now directly affecting American consumers and tech enthusiasts, particularly those seeking DJI's popular products.
