DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Brings 4K 240fps to Creators

DJI is pushing its pocket camera lineup further with the new Osmo Pocket 4, a compact gimbal camera built for creators who want bigger image quality without carrying a full-sized rig. The latest model keeps the familiar small-body concept, but upgrades the formula with a 1-inch CMOS sensor, high-frame-rate 4K capture, and smarter subject tracking aimed at vloggers, solo shooters, and mobile filmmakers.

At the core of the Osmo Pocket 4 is a setup that clearly focuses on image quality first. DJI says the camera can record up to 4K/240fps, which opens the door for dramatic slow-motion footage while keeping sharp detail intact. Low-light capture also gets a boost thanks to the sensor size and f/2.0 aperture, while 14 stops of dynamic range and 10-bit D-Log are designed to preserve more highlight and shadow detail for creators who like to grade their footage later.

A Pocket Camera That Takes Image Quality More Seriously

For a device this small, the Osmo Pocket 4 sounds unusually ambitious. DJI is not just aiming for convenience here, but for footage that looks more refined straight out of camera. Portraits are said to deliver more natural skin tones, and high-contrast scenes should hold together better in changing light. That matters because pocket cameras often win on size but lose on flexibility. This one seems built to reduce that compromise with stronger color depth and cleaner low-light performance.

Tracking and Focus Built for Real-World Shooting

One of the headline upgrades is ActiveTrack 7.0, which now works even when zooming in further, helping keep subjects centered in crowded or fast-moving scenes. DJI also adds Intelligent AutoFocus and a new Subject Lock Tracking option, making it easier to keep one person or object consistently sharp. For solo creators, these tools matter more than flashy marketing language, because they reduce the amount of retrying, reframing, and generally arguing with your own camera.

Faster Controls and a Smoother Workflow

DJI also reworks the physical experience of using the camera. Rotating the screen can start recording, while new hardware controls include a dedicated Zoom button, a customizable preset button, and a 5D joystick for moving and recentering the gimbal. The Osmo Pocket 4 also includes 107GB of built-in storage, which is a practical move for quick shoots when carrying extra cards feels like one more tiny disaster waiting to happen.

More Creative Tools Without Extra Bulk

Beyond standard video capture, the Osmo Pocket 4 adds features like Slow Shutter Video, Film Tone presets, in-camera beautify, and an attachable Fill Light for darker scenes. Battery performance also looks solid for the class, with charging from 0 to 80 percent in 18 minutes and up to 240 minutes of 1080p/24fps recording when fully charged. Audio support is also broader, with direct compatibility for DJI Mic 2, Mic 3, and Mic Mini transmitters, including support for 4-channel recording.

Overall, the Osmo Pocket 4 looks like DJI refining a product category it already understands well rather than reinventing it for the sake of headlines. The result is a more capable pocket camera that appears better suited for travel videos, quick interviews, livestreams, and cinematic everyday footage. DJI has confirmed the device is now official and available through its channels, while pricing may vary by market and bundle configuration, so creators should check regional listings for final availability details.
