The launch also places DJI in direct competition with the recently unveiled Insta360 Luna Ultra as brands race to offer more professional features in portable cameras.
What Makes the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P Different?
The biggest change is the camera system. DJI has equipped the Osmo Pocket 4P with a primary 1-inch CMOS sensor paired with a 20mm equivalent wide-angle lens featuring an f/2.0 aperture. According to the company, the sensor uses LOFIC technology and can achieve up to 17 stops of dynamic range, helping preserve details in both bright and dark scenes.
Alongside the primary camera sits a dedicated 60mm equivalent mid-telephoto camera based on a 1/1.28-inch CMOS sensor. This secondary camera offers up to 3x optical zoom and up to 12x digital zoom, giving creators more flexibility when framing shots.
How Does Smart Follow 8.0 Improve Tracking?
One of the headline features of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P is Smart Follow 8.0. DJI says the upgraded tracking system can keep subjects locked in frame throughout the camera’s focal range, including while zooming.
The camera also uses a three-axis mechanical gimbal to stabilize footage. The gimbal supports pan, tilt, and roll movements, helping users capture smoother video while walking, moving, or recording handheld content.
What Video and Shooting Features Are Included?
DJI has packed several creator-focused tools into the Osmo Pocket 4P. The camera supports 10-bit color depth and D-Log 2 recording, giving editors more flexibility during post-production.
Users can also access Motion Timelapse, Static Timelapse, and Motionlapse modes. These features allow automated camera movements and customizable framing points, making it easier to create dynamic time-lapse videos without complex equipment.
Display, Storage, and Connectivity Details
The camera features a 2.0-inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 556 x 314 pixels and brightness reaching up to 1,000 nits.
For storage, DJI includes 103GB of built-in memory. The device also supports microSD cards up to 1TB. File transfers can reach speeds of up to 800MB/s through USB 3.1 connectivity.
Wireless options include dual-band Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4. Audio recording is handled by a triple-microphone array capable of capturing 48kHz, 16-bit AAC audio.
