TL;DR
- DJI has launched the new Osmo Pocket 4, which features a rotatable 2-inch OLED screen with a 1-inch CMOS sensor, 4K/240fps recording, and two new physical buttons.
- It includes 107GB of built-in storage while retaining the microSD slot, and features ActiveTrack 7.0 for better subject following.
- The Osmo Pocket 4 is not currently available in the US due to pending FCC authorization. Meanwhile, DJI has also teased a dual-lens “Pro” model.
DJI finally took the wraps off the Osmo Pocket 4 vlogging camera, but hasn’t yet taken the wraps off its dual-lens Osmo Pocket 4 “Pro” sibling. The new Osmo Pocket 4 may be considered an iterative upgrade over the Pocket 3 from 2023, but it’s still a notable refresh.
The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 has a new 1-inch, f/2.0 CMOS sensor with 14 stops of dynamic range, which should improve performance in low light. It also supports 10-bit D-Log color profile as well as 4K 240fps slow-mo recording.
When you rotate the Pocket 4’s 2-inch OLED touchscreen from portrait to landscape, you’ll notice two new buttons. The first cycles through 1x, 2x and 4x zoom, while you can customize the second to preset settings.

There were concerns about the leak that DJI might get rid of the microSD card, but that didn’t happen. Not only do you get 107GB of internal storage, but you also retain microSD expandability.
The primary highlight of the vlogging camera is its stabilization and tracking capabilities. On the DJI Osmo Pocket 4, you get ActiveTrack 7.0, which is said to work at 4x zoom for tracking subjects like people (with special focus on pre-registered faces), animals, and even vehicles.
DJI Osmo Pocket 4 price and availability
The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 will not be available in the US market pending FCC authorization. The vlogging camera will be available in three bundles in the EU and other markets like the UK:

Where is the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pro?
Given that the dual-lens Pocket 4 “Pro” was also seen in hands-on images, it was quite likely that we’d see it unveiled alongside the Pocket 4. However, this did not happen.
However, curiously, DJI shared a teaser weibo As for the “Osmo Pocket 4P”, confirms its existence and part of its design.
From the teaser we know that the Pocket 4P will have a 1-inch primary lens and a 3x zoom secondary lens. When and for how much it will arrive is anyone’s guess – keep its existence and imminent launch in mind before deciding to buy the Pocket 4.
