I don’t usually start an article with bad news, but the new DJI OSMO Pocket 4 will not be available for release due to FCC authorization. By now, you probably know that DJI and the US government are at odds, and that going forward, new DJI products will not be released or sold in the US. Until this matter is resolved, we here in the States won’t be seeing many new products available. I thought it had more to do with drones, but it looks broader. I’ll be visiting DJI at NAB 2026 and will ask more questions about the situation. Hopefully, they can address it further.

Osmo Pocket 4
DJI announces the Osmo Pocket 4. DJI has enhanced the imaging capabilities of its 1-inch CMOS pocket gimbal camera. It can now capture 4K/240fps and clearer low-light shots while delivering cinematic depth via 14 stops of dynamic range and 10-bit D-Log. With the Osmo Pocket 4’s new intelligent tracking capabilities, creators can keep their subjects in focus and in frame as they move around.
It features a fixed 20mm lens with an f/2.0 aperture, and the focus range is from 20cm to ∞.

Picture Samples
Clearer Low-Light Shots and Sharper Views Osmo Pocket 4’s 1-inch CMOS sensor and f/2.0 aperture ensure natural, clear portraits even in low light. The 14 stops of dynamic range and 10-bit D-Log color profile bring out rich tones and true-to-life colors, whether at dusk, by the seaside, or in other low-light environments. With this improved straight-out-of-camera quality, portrait shots deliver healthier and more refined skin tones. It also delivers high performance when capturing images in high-contrast lighting. With a dedicated Zoom button, creators can switch between 1x and 2x lossless zoom with one tap. Ultra HD slow-motion footage can also be recorded in 4K/240fps.
Smart Capture, Standout Shots
Osmo Pocket 4’s three-axis stabilization enables creators to film steady, high-quality vlogs and livestreams while walking. It features multiple gimbal modes for even smoother, silkier camera movements. With ActiveTrack 7.0, subjects can be tracked even at 4x zoom. Tracking modes, such as Spotlight Follow and Dynamic Framing, make it easy to capture cinematic single-handed shots.
Intelligent AutoFocus
Intelligent AutoFocus keeps subjects sharp. When “Subject Lock Tracking” is enabled, the camera automatically locks onto and tracks a selected subject. A new subject can be swapped with a simple tap on the screen. Alternatively, the “Registered Subject Priority” can be used to prioritize focusing on a pre-registered subject. Quick Shots can also be captured via gesture control. For example, showing your palm (Palm Gesture) toggles ActiveTrack, while flashing a peace sign (“V” Gesture) takes a photo or starts and stops recording.
More Intuitive and User-Friendly
The Osmo Pocket 4 enhances the user experience with several new intuitive features designed to streamline the creative process. To start recording, creators can simply rotate the screen. Below the screen are two new buttons. One is a dedicated Zoom button that can switch between 1x to 2x zoom, or jump to 4x zoom. The other is a custom preset button that can be customized with the creator’s preferred settings. The new 5D joystick allows creators to move the camera backwards, recenter the gimbal, and flip the camera.
With 107GB of built-in storage, creators can shoot more footage and easily transfer up to 800MB/s of footage without a memory card.
Audio
Osmo Pocket 4 supports direct connection to DJI Mic transmitters, enabling 4-channel audio recording. It captures clear vocals while simultaneously recording ambient sound through the built-in microphone array. Video editing software can directly process the four audio channels, streamlining your creative workflow.
Battery Life
The Osmo Pocket 4 can be charged to 80% in just 18 minutes, providing up to three hours of shooting. When fully charged, it can record up to 240 minutes of 1080p/24fps footage.
Timecode
Built-in timecode is claimed to keep drift under 1 frame in 8 hours, enabling accurate multi-camera syncing in post-production.
DP Output & Wi-Fi Livestreaming
The camera supports 4K DisplayPort video output and 1080p Wi-Fi livestreaming.
