DJI has officially teased the Osmo Pocket 4P, and the headline feature is hard to miss: a dual-camera system that adds a 3x telephoto lens alongside the primary wide-angle camera. If you have ever used a Pocket 3 and wished you could zoom in without losing quality, DJI appears to have heard you.
Two cameras, one pocket gimbal
The original Osmo Pocket series has always been limited by its single fixed focal length. The Pocket 3’s 20mm equivalent lens is great for vlogging and wide shots, but it is useless for detail shots, portraits, or any situation where you want compression or reach. The Pocket 4P solves that by adding a dedicated telephoto camera with roughly 3x magnification, likely around 60mm equivalent.
A dual-camera approach in a device this small is technically challenging. DJI needs to fit two separate camera modules, a mechanical gimbal for the primary camera, and all the processing hardware into a body that is roughly the size of a lipstick tube. The telephoto camera may use a smaller sensor or a fixed gimbal (relying on digital stabilization), but the result should give creators significantly more framing options without switching devices.
Beyond the dual cameras
Alongside the new optical system, the Pocket 4P is expected to bring upgraded video features. DJI has consistently improved its color science and dynamic range with each Pocket generation, and the 4P should continue that trend. The gimbal mechanism is likely refined for smoother tracking and faster response.
The timing of the teaser is notable — the original Osmo Pocket 3 launched in late 2023, and the Pocket 4 has been one of the most anticipated updates in the compact gimbal camera space. DJI also teased the Osmo Mobile 8P alongside the Pocket 4P, adding remote control functionality and improved tracking to its smartphone gimbal line.
What this means for creators
For travel vloggers, the dual-camera Pocket 4P could replace the need to carry a separate camera for telephoto shots. For event coverage, it means being able to pull in tighter framing without sacrificing portability. And for everyday users, it is simply more versatility in a device that fits in a jeans pocket.
DJI has not announced a release date or pricing, but teasers of this specificity typically precede a launch within a few weeks.
