Arashi Vision (U.S.) LLC d/b/a Insta360

Arashi Vision Inc. (Chinese: 影石创新科技股份有限公司), which sells under the brand Insta360, is a Shenzhen-based imaging-technology company founded in July 2015 by Liu Jingkang. Its U.S. arm is Arashi Vision (U.S.) LLC. The company listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange's STAR Market on June 11, 2025 under ticker 688775.SH, raising roughly RMB 1.94 billion; founder Liu retains control (~27–34% of voting power) via Beijing Lanfeng Chuangshi. FT/Yahoo Finance list about 3,952 employees and trailing-twelve-month revenue of roughly RMB 10.9 billion (~US$1.66 billion) as of mid-2026; the company reported FY2025 revenue of RMB 9.86 billion.

Products / operations. Arashi Vision designs, manufactures and sells consumer and professional smart imaging equipment: 360-degree panoramic cameras and action cameras (Insta360 X-series, Ace-series, and GO-series), pro-grade VR/spherical cameras (Pro, Titan), gimbal stabilization gear, and accessories, plus camera software. Uses cited in filings include panoramic live broadcast, street-view mapping, and video conferencing. It sells globally, with offices including Berlin, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Los Angeles, and partnered with Leica on the ONE R. A drone subsidiary, Antigravity, launched an FPV drone in early 2026. This is an operating company, not an NPE.

Litigation posture. The tracked record is a single competitor dispute, not an NPE campaign: one defendant case (ITC) and one plaintiff case (PTAB). Insta360 is the target in GoPro's Section 337 action and the challenger at the PTAB, consistent with a two-way, technology-driven fight between rivals rather than assertion activity. No Eastern District of Texas cluster appears.

Notable case. GoPro, Inc. v. Arashi Vision Inc. d/b/a Insta360 (ITC Inv. No. 337-TA-1400, filed March 2024) asserted six GoPro patents on cameras, mounts and related systems. The ITC's February 26, 2026 final determination rejected all six claims; only a discontinued older model fell within one design patent, and GoPro retained appeal rights. Insta360's parallel PTAB filings (e.g., IPR petitions against GoPro patents) reflect the same dispute. The company said defense costs exceeded US$10 million.
