DJI Osmo Pocket 4 targets low-light videography and rapid motion.
The new model features a 1-inch sensor, 4K slow motion capabilities, and enhanced controls all within a compact design.
DJI has introduced the Osmo Pocket 4, aiming to deliver improved video quality from a camera small enough for portability. The key enhancement is the 1-inch CMOS sensor, which is expected to retain more detail in low-light conditions and provide a cleaner appearance for fast-moving footage.
According to DJI, the Osmo Pocket 4 can record 4K video at rates up to 240fps, while also offering 14 stops of dynamic range and 10-bit D-log support. This gives solo content creators a robust combination of slow motion, highlight management, and grading versatility without the need to upgrade to larger equipment.
The outcome is a pocket-sized gimbal camera designed for users who seek more than mere casual videos. It retains the easy portability of its predecessor while venturing further into the realm of enthusiasts.

The starting point for this upgrade
The hardware enhancements handle most of the improvements. DJI pairs the 1-inch sensor with an f/2.0 aperture, a combination that enhances portrait clarity, low-light performance, and effectiveness in high-contrast situations.
The capability of recording 4K at 240fps has practical applications beyond just impressing others. It provides creators with greater flexibility to transform action, travel, or urban scenes into striking slow-motion videos, and DJI has included a dedicated zoom button with 1x and 2x lossless settings, plus an option for 4x zoom.
Intelligent shooting in a compact form
DJI is also focusing on user convenience. The Osmo Pocket 4 employs three-axis stabilization for smoother walking shots, and its revised gimbal modes aim to render handheld motion more refined right out of the camera.
Features like ActiveTrack 7.0, Spotlight Follow, Dynamic Framing, and Subject Lock Tracking contribute to this goal.

The company asserts that these tools help maintain the subject’s focus and sharpness with less manual adjustment, while gesture controls allow users to initiate key actions without navigating through menus.
Why this model seems more complete
Some of the most beneficial updates are less noticeable. DJI notes that the Osmo Pocket 4 includes 107GB of built-in storage with transfer speeds of up to 800MB/s, facilitating quick shoots and seamless file transfers without needing an initial memory card.
The camera also introduces quicker controls and speedy charging. Rotating the screen begins recording, a new 5D joystick aids in movement and recentering, and a customizable preset button offers frequent users a faster path to their preferred settings.
DJI claims the battery can reach 80% capacity in 18 minutes and last for up to 240 minutes at 1080p/24fps, making the Osmo Pocket 4 a significant upgrade for those who prioritize both speed and image quality.
