After what has felt like an odyssey of a product rollout, DJI’s latest vlogging camera, the Osmo Pocket 4P, is finally here. It’s launching in Europe, the UK, Canada and Australia, after its initial rollout in China a month ago.

Our coverage of that launch has the complete specs, but here are the most important parts, in case you missed them or have since forgotten them. The 4P is an upgraded version of the company’s Osmo Pocket 4 vlogging camera with an integrated three-axis gimbal. Like the standard model, it has around 100GB of built-in storage, and a Type 1 (116mm²) sensor with a 20mm equiv. lens, capable of shooting at 4K/240p in landscape. It can also take 33MP 16:9 stills or 37.7MP 1:1 stills, and a ~3K (1728×3072) vertical crop from the middle of the sensor for portrait-orientation video at up to 60p.

While those specs are similar to the original Osmo Pocket 4, the 4P uses a new sensor that utilizes a LOFIC (lateral overflow integrating capacitance) design to retain more information in the highlights, and a new version of the company’s Log curve, D-Log2, to capture the extra dynamic range. D-Log2’s base ISO is two stops lower than the original’s, meaning it can tolerate up to 2EV additional light.

It’s also not the only camera. The 4P adds a Type 1/1.28 (75mm²) sensor with a 60mm equiv. lens for extra reach, though that one doesn’t have the same dynamic range capabilities – it uses the original D-Log – and caps out at 4K/200p.

Taking a break from specs: what’s the camera like to use? DJI brought our social director Mykim Dang to Toronto for two days to test it, and you can see her impressions, along with sample footage from the 4P, below.

The power of the Osmo Pocket series has always been in its ability to be an all-in-one solution. The cameras provide image quality that’s more than good enough for social media or YouTube, work natively with DJI’s popular wireless lavaliere microphones and produce steadier footage than you can get from a phone alone

As a bit of inside baseball, we recently went through the process of putting together a standard kit for shooting social video here at DPReview and our sister company, Gear Patrol. It includes an iPhone, several accessories like a cage and ND filters, a microphone, tripod, etc. When we were discussing the Osmo Pocket 4P, Mykim said she wished it had existed when she was putting the kit together, because she would’ve just gone with it.

What really sold her was the accessory remote, which provides a wireless live preview, the ability to start and stop recording, and a joystick to control where the camera is pointed at. It doesn’t come with the camera, but is available as part of the Vlog Combo, which also includes a fill light, Mic Mini 2 transmitter and receiver, a mini tripod and more, as well as a pouch to put it all in.

This does, however, bring us to one of the elephants in the room: Insta360’s Luna Ultra, which is about as similar a competitor as you could ask for. It also puts a Type 1 sensor with 20mm equiv. lens and a Type 1/1.3 sensor for its 60mm equiv. lens on an integrated gimbal, works with the company’s wireless microphones and includes some (but not as much) internal storage. However, it shoots 8K (as well as 4K), and its remote is built-in; you can detach the front with the controls and rotating screen, and use it to remotely operate the camera.

The Luna Ultra launched just as DJI had gathered everyone for its Osmo Pocket 4P event, and apparently struck a nerve at the company. DJI sued Insta360 in US court, accusing it of patent infringement, and Insta360 is countersuing. The second elephant is that, despite DJI’s choice of jurisdiction, the US isn’t among the list of places the Osmo Pocket 4P is launching today. The company tells us “the application for authorization is still pending.”

That’s no surprise given the country’s government’s ongoing actions against the company, and the fact that none of its recent products have been available there (at least, not bearing DJI’s name). Insta360’s offering, however, is, despite the fact that it’s also based in China and sells drones. For those in the regions that the camera is launching in, though, that may all be unnecessary drama, or at most food for thought when it comes to picking between the Osmo Pocket 4P and a competitor.

The black version of the Osmo Pocket 4P is launching today for £529 in the UK and around €599 in Europe, though the exact pricing for the latter will depend on which country you’re in. The Vlog Combo kit is available for around £/€80 more, which feels like quite an aggressive price given everything it includes.

Osmo Pocket 4P Delivers Pro Filmmaking Capabilities, Advancing the Gimbal Camera Category DJI Pioneered

DJI’s First Dual-Lens Gimbal Camera Unlocks Cinematic Potential with 17 Stops of Dynamic Range and All-New 10-bit D-Log 2.

July 30, 2026 – DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, today officially launched the highly anticipated Osmo Pocket 4P, elevating the category it pioneered with the original Osmo gimbal camera in 2015. Through dedicated innovation, this product line evolved into the first Osmo Pocket in 2018, ushering the era of the pocket camera. DJI has advanced this evolution with the Osmo Pocket 4P’s groundbreaking dual-lens pocket gimbal camera. It features a brand new 1-inch CMOS sensor boasting 17 stops of dynamic range¹, plus a 60mm lens featuring an f/1.8 aperture for stunning, natural portraits. DJI is also debuting the new 10-bit D-Log 21 color profile, capable of capturing over one billion colors to render scenes with breathtaking light and shadow fidelity. Complementing its cutting-edge technology, Osmo Pocket 4P arrives in two exquisitely crafted color options, classic black that exudes understated power and pearl white with a fresh, eye-catching aesthetic.

Two Lenses for Cinematic Versatility Near and Far

The Osmo Pocket 4P features dual-lens that effortlessly achieve cinematic visual effects – from wide-angle cityscapes to delicate portraits. The primary wide-angle lens is equipped with an all-new 1-inch CMOS (20mm format equivalent and f/2.0 aperture). Powered by cutting-edge LOFIC technology, it delivers an unprecedented 17 stops of dynamic range¹ and supports up to 4K/240 fps¹. video. More typically found in high-end cinema cameras, these professional filmmaking capabilities can effortlessly handle high-contrast scenes like city nightscapes, sunsets, and backlit portraits. Meanwhile, a new high-resolution and large-aperture 60mm med-tele lens delivers the classic focal length for standout portraits. It supports 3× optical zoom and up to 12× zoom¹. The f/1.8 large aperture (f/6.3 equivalent depth of field) strongly compresses the background, pulling it closer to the subject for a blurred effect. Combined with camera movements, this creates highly impactful, cinematic visuals.

Elevating Heights in Imaging, New Sparks of Inspiration

For high-speed action, the Osmo Pocket 4P can capture up to 8x ultra-HD slow motion¹ footage at 4K/240 fps, giving the effect that time has slowed down for dynamic moments like spinning subjects, flowing hair, or falling snow in mesmerizing detail. Alternatively, the Slow Shutter Video can be used to trace flowing light, creating a motion blur or capturing movement trails and the passage of time for a truly unique visual narrative. The integration of the new 10-bit D-Log 2¹ color profile, paired with 17 stops of dynamic range¹, preserves unparalleled highlight and shadow details – on par with premium cinema cameras. With a 10-bit color depth capturing over one billion colors, tonal transitions stay exceptionally smooth, maximizing flexibility for post-production color grading.

Intelligent Shooting, Unshakable Stability

The Osmo Pocket 4P is built upon DJI’s illustrious legacy in professional cinematography, including the groundbreaking Ronin stabilization system – recognized by both the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Television Academy. Housed within a remarkably compact 230 g body, its advanced 3-axis mechanical gimbal ensures footage remains impeccably smooth and steady. The upgraded ActiveTrack 8.0¹ keeps subjects – whether people, vehicles, pets or dynamically shaped objects – firmly centered in the frame, even at 12x Zoom. It intuitively prioritizes a registered subject or centers multiple subjects at any focal length using auto framing.

Capture at Will, Share on the Go

Building on the enhanced user experience introduced with the standard version, the Osmo Pocket 4P features several intuitive features designed to streamline the creative process, including:

Instant Recording: Rotate the touchscreen to power on and start recording quickly.
Gesture Control: Flash an open pam to trigger ActiveTrack or flash a “V” sign to start recording
4K Live Photo¹: Capture memories in motion by automatically recording 1.5-second clips for every photo in 4K detail
37MP High-Res Photo: Snap up to 37MP photos with crystal-clear details that can be reframed during post production.
800 MB/s High-speed Transfer¹: USB 3.1 support enables wired transfer speeds up to 800 MB/s1 for near-instant export and a more efficient workflow.
Extended Runtime & Fast Charging: Recharge from 0 to 80% in just 18 minutes1 for up to three hours of shooting. When fully charged, it offers an impressive runtime of up to 210 minutes¹.

Compatible with Osmo Ecosystem

The Osmo Pocket 4P is compatible with a versatile lineup of Osmo ecosystem accessories, expanding the creative possibilities. These include the Osmo Pocket 4 Fill Light, Osmo Pocket 4P Black Mist Filter, Osmo Pocket 4P ND Filters Set, Osmo FrameTap, Osmo Pocket 4 Battery Handle, Osmo Pocket 4P Wide-Angle Lens, Osmo Mini Tripod, and various OsmoAudio microphones (each sold separately or included in select combos).
