DJI has officially announced the Osmo Pocket 4, launched on April 16, 2026. The Pocket 4 refines the pocket‑sized 3‑axis gimbal camera formula with upgrades aimed at image quality, workflow efficiency, and creator features, making it a stronger all‑in‑one option for vloggers, content creators, and travelers.
Key upgrades at a glance
- 1‑inch CMOS sensor with 14 stops dynamic range
- 10‑bit D‑Log color support for improved grading flexibility
- 4K up to 240fps for high‑quality slow motion
- 107GB built‑in high‑speed storage with up to 800MB/s transfer
- 2× lossless zoom for tighter framing without major quality loss
- 3‑axis mechanical gimbal with electronic assistance and ActiveTrack 7.0
- Four‑channel OsmoAudio output and rotatable touchscreen
- Approximate weight 116 g, lighter than Pocket 3
Imaging and color
The Pocket 4 keeps a 1‑inch sensor but pairs it with a refined imaging pipeline that DJI rates at 14 stops of dynamic range. The camera supports 10‑bit D‑Log, giving creators more headroom for highlight recovery and color grading in high‑contrast scenes. Combined with the higher frame‑rate options, these improvements target users who need both better low‑light performance and smoother slow‑motion capture.
Video performance and stabilization
Video capabilities include 4K at up to 240fps, doubling the Pocket 3’s maximum slow‑motion frame rate while maintaining full 4K resolution. Stabilization remains a three‑axis mechanical gimbal augmented by electronic stabilization and DJI’s tracking algorithms. ActiveTrack 7.0 is listed as the latest tracking iteration, promising more reliable subject following during handheld movement.
Workflow and usability
A major practical change is 107GB of built‑in high‑speed storage with transfer speeds up to 800MB/s, reducing dependence on microSD cards and speeding up offloads for creators on the move. The Pocket 4 also adds a 2× lossless zoom, implemented through sensor and processing techniques to preserve image quality when framing tighter shots.
The device retains the Pocket series’ rotatable touchscreen and compact form factor, while shaving weight to improve portability. Audio output has been expanded to four channels, enabling more flexible microphone setups for creators.
