For vloggers, content creators, or those who enjoy capturing travel moments, the DJI Osmo Pocket line is certainly no stranger. Its pocket-friendly size combined with a three-axis mechanical stabilization system makes this camera a go-to for many people. DJI is shaking up the market again with the DJI Osmo Pocket 4, which brings a series of significant upgrades.
This tiny camera offers professional-grade performance in a form that remains compact and ready to use.
Compact Design with the Signature Rotating Screen
In terms of design, DJI retains the iconic look users love: a compact handle comfortable to hold in one hand, a 2-inch OLED touchscreen with a rotatable concept, and a three-axis gimbal head on top. The screen's brightness reaches 1000 nits, so it stays clearly visible even when recording under direct sunlight.
The rotating screen mechanism remains responsive. Simply turn the screen to the horizontal position to start recording landscape video, or switch it back to vertical for TikTok and Instagram Reels content. In the button area, there's now a new 5D joystick and a dedicated physical zoom button (1x/2x) for more flexible navigation.
Camera and Image Quality: Even More Powerful in Low Light
The camera sector is the main highlight of the Osmo Pocket 4. Featuring a 1-inch CMOS sensor optimized with an f/2.0 lens aperture, image capture in low-light conditions feels much sharper and cleaner with less noise.
Some of the image recording upgrades it brings:
- 4K Recording up to 240fps: The ability to shoot slow-motion in 4K has been elevated, producing ultra-smooth slow-motion footage without sacrificing sharpness and detail.
- 14-Stop Dynamic Range & 10-bit D-Log: Delivers a wide exposure range. Shadow areas and highlights retain detail, providing high flexibility during color grading.
- 2x Lossless Zoom: Zoom in up to 2x without image quality degradation thanks to a tighter sensor crop area (sensor crop).
Spacious Internal Storage and New Smart Features
One of the main problems content creators face in the field is running out of memory or forgetting to bring a MicroSD card. In this latest series, DJI includes 107GB of internal storage with data transfer speeds of up to 800MB/s. An additional MicroSD card slot supporting up to 1TB is also still provided for extra flexibility.
Subject tracking has also been updated to ActiveTrack 7.0. Object locking is now more precise, whether tracking facial movements, human bodies, or pets, even when the subject moves quickly or is in a crowded space. For the audio sector, OsmoAudio 4-channel support enables clear spatial audio recording with minimal background noise.
