DJI put the SDR Transmission 2 on sale worldwide at 309 pounds. There is no U.S. price, and the 2024 model stays the newest one Americans can buy.
DJI's September 17 release from Frankfurt prices the 136-gram 4K60 transceiver at 309 pounds or from 349 euros, with a two-unit Combo at 559 pounds or from 629 euros, on sale the same day through DJI stores and retailers. The release names no countries and no dollar figure.

Decision brief
This is the second DJI launch in a month, after the Osmo 360 II, priced everywhere except the United States. The difference is that the Osmo 360 II holds a valid FCC grant and the SDR Transmission 2 has none we can find, so a U.S. price is not coming unless the FCC's Covered List posture changes. A crew that needs 4K over a wireless monitor link buys Teradek or Hollyland. The 2024 SDR Transmission, 1080p at 20 Mbps, remains legal to own, use, and resell, and an imported unit carries no U.S. warranty and no authorization to sell on.

What DJI released
One 4K60 transceiver, priced in pounds and euros.
DJI released the SDR Transmission 2 on September 17 in a press release datelined Frankfurt. The single transceiver is priced at 309 pounds in the United Kingdom or from 349 euros, and the Combo, two transceivers, at 559 pounds or from 629 euros. Sales opened the same day through store.dji.com, DJI Stores, authorized retailers, and other retailers. The release lists no countries. It contains no dollar price and does not mention the United States or North America. DroneXL, which has tracked the launch since a September 1 debut in China at 1,999 yuan, reports the same omission and no U.S. store listing.
The hardware replaces the separate transmitter and receiver DJI sold in 2024 with one 136-gram unit that switches roles. It carries DCI 4K at 60 frames per second in 10-bit HDR over H.265 at up to 50 megabits per second, with a stated 35 millisecond latency and a range of up to 4 kilometers. One transmitter can feed up to eight receivers, and a set can run five transmitters against forty receivers. Power comes from NP-F batteries, USB-C Power Delivery, or a Ronin gimbal, and an optional expansion board adds SDI and HDMI ports. The 2024 SDR Transmission, which launched in the U.S. at 549 dollars for a transmitter and receiver, tops out at 1080p and 20 megabits per second.
Why not here
No grant, no price, and a Covered List question the FCC has not answered.
Why no U.S. price is a question this desk has been careful with. DroneXL attributes the exclusion to the FCC's December 22, 2025 Covered List action, which blocks new equipment authorizations for the listed equipment, and notes that a wireless video link is a radio that needs one. The scope of that entry beyond aircraft is the same question our September 12 report on the FCC's marketplace rule left open: the Federal Register text of that rule distinguishes producer-based entries from the production-location entry for foreign-made drones and their critical components, and does not say which one reaches a DJI camera transmitter. What is not in question is the practical result. A new radio without an FCC grant cannot be imported or marketed here, DJI has published no U.S. price, and no grant for this product appears under DJI's grantee codes that we can find.
What to watch
ET Docket 26-22 and the Ninth Circuit, not DJI's store.
Two related proceedings are still pending. DJI's petition for reconsideration of the Covered List action sits in ET Docket 26-22, where the FCC's Office of Engineering and Technology took a further round of comment on a DJI-commissioned security assessment through August 28, according to DroneXL, and has not ruled. DJI's Ninth Circuit challenge is in abeyance with an opening brief due November 2. Until one of those moves, DJI launches will keep arriving with a euro price and a pound price and nothing else, and the correct reading of each one is the same: check for a grant before assuming a U.S. release is late rather than absent.
