Far from being a total revolution, DJI's proposal focuses on polish what already worked very wellThree-axis stabilization, more intuitive controls, improved low-light performance, and deeper integration with the OsmoAudio audio ecosystem. All this with prices starting at €479 and different bundles designed for both users who simply want to record without complications and creators who are always in front of the camera.
1-inch sensor and a leap in image quality
The major technical innovation of this generation is the 1-inch CMOS sensor with an f/2.0 aperture, which remains the same as the Pocket 3 But it comes with revised processing. DJI claims that it now achieves more natural skin tones, better handling of high-contrast scenes, and cleaner performance in low-light situations—something that was one of the most common complaints about the previous model.
The camera promises 14 stops of dynamic range When recording with the 10-bit D-Log profile (no longer D-Log M), there's considerable leeway when editing the footage without blowing out skies or muddying shadows. For those who want to go a step further in post-production, this 10-bit color depth and the greater information in highlights and shadows allow for more aggressive color corrections without ruining the image.
In practice, all of this means that the Osmo Pocket 4 can handle complex scenes better, such as backlighting at sunset, interiors with brightly lit windows or routes at dawn with very pronounced shadows. In these scenarios, the camera tries to balance detail in the sky with information in faces, one of the typical Achilles' heels of point-and-shoot cameras.
4K video at 240 fps and slow motion at the highest level
Another of the strengths of this generation is the ability to record in 4K up to 240 frames per second In certain modes, it doubles the Pocket 3's 120fps limit. This allows for 8x slow motion while maintaining Ultra HD resolution, something that until recently was reserved for much larger and more expensive equipment.
This option is especially interesting for those who record sport, action or bike routesWhere being able to analyze a jump, a tricky line, or a maneuver in such detail can make all the difference. In disciplines like downhill or enduro, having 4K/240 fps on a pocket-sized device opens up a world of possibilities for both technical content and social media.
In addition to slow-motion mode, the Osmo Pocket 4 incorporates a slow shutter video mode which allows you to play with longer shutter speeds to create light trails, motion blur, or more creative effects directly from the camera, without having to resort to editing on the computer.
Three-axis stabilization and new ActiveTrack 7.0
The Osmo Pocket 4 maintains the three-axis mechanical stabilization This feature has characterized the family from the beginning, and DJI continues to build much of its experience upon it. You can record while walking, running, or cycling on uneven trails, and the footage maintains a stable and fluid look, without the artifacts so typical of purely electronic stabilization.
The big news in this section is the ActiveTrack 7.0The latest version of DJI's intelligent subject tracking system. This algorithm is capable of keeping a person in frame even when using up to 4x zoom, which is useful for vlogs on the go, impromptu interviews, or recording events where there's no camera operator.
The system adds modes such as Spotlight Tracking and Dynamic FramingThese features are designed to keep the subject centered or framed more cinematically with a single touch. A "Lens Lock Tracking" mode can also be activated, in which the camera locks onto a subject and automatically follows it even if it moves through a crowd.
In addition, the Osmo Pocket 4 introduces gesture controlShowing the palm of your hand activates ActiveTrack, while making a "V" gesture starts or stops recording or takes a photo. For those recording alone who need to be in the frame, these features eliminate the need to constantly touch the camera or rely on their phone.
Continuity of design, new buttons and 5D joystick
Externally, the Osmo Pocket 4 follows the design of the previous generation, but introduces subtle changes intended to improve everyday use. Rotating the screen to turn it on makes the following features accessible: two new physical buttonsOne button is dedicated to zoom, and the other can be configured as a preset button, where favorite settings can be saved and activated with a single touch.
Gimbal control is enhanced with a 5D joystick This allows you to move the camera, recenter the stabilizer, or rotate the frame with greater precision. This makes it easier to perform smooth pans, quickly reframe shots, or switch from a wide shot to a close-up without having to navigate through complicated menus.
On the back of the gimbal there is also a New magnetic port for accessorieswhere you can attach, for example, a fill light specifically designed for this model. This accessory is powered directly by the camera's battery and offers various levels of intensity and color temperature to enhance scenes with low light or strong backlighting.
Compared to the Pocket 3, some users will miss the classic hard case, but in return they gain More direct controls, faster access to recording (simply rotate the screen) and greater flexibility to work with the camera in one hand.
107GB internal memory and a more streamlined workflow
One of the most practical changes for everyday life is the arrival of 107 GB internal storageThis is unusual for cameras of this size. With this capacity and a transfer speed of up to 800 MB/s, many users will be able to go out and record without worrying about always carrying a microSD card.
In practice, this space allows for over two hours of 4K video No external memory card is needed, according to figures provided by the brand itself. For creators who frequently publish content and need a fast workflow, being able to transfer that material to a computer or mobile device with such speed greatly simplifies the process.
Although the camera can be used comfortably without additional memory, it is still possible to resort to external storage for those who prefer to separate projects, work with immediate backups, or further extend the available capacity on long trips or intensive shoots.
Battery, fast charging and extended use
Battery life is another area where DJI has focused its efforts in this generation. The company speaks of up to 240 minutes of recording Under specific conditions (1080p/24 fps), a figure that, even though theoretical, gives an idea that the battery has grown in capacity compared to what has been seen in the past.
Beyond the exact number, what's truly useful is the fast chargeThe Osmo Pocket 4 can go from 0 to 80% in about 18 minutes with a suitable charger. For recording sessions or trips, this means that a short coffee break can restore a significant portion of the battery life, allowing you to continue recording almost without interruption.
In more demanding uses, such as extended 4K recordings or continuous content sessions for social media, the combination of good battery life and fast charging greatly reduces battery anxiety, something that is usually a major bottleneck in this type of camera.
Improved audio and compatibility with the OsmoAudio ecosystem
The sound department also takes a leap forward. The camera incorporates a integrated microphone array with which you can capture voices and ambience, but the most interesting change is the expanded compatibility with the OsmoAudio ecosystem.
The Osmo Pocket 4 now supports audio recording of up to four channels By combining DJI's wireless microphones (Mic 2, Mic 3, and Mic Mini, depending on the package) with the camera's own microphone, this setup offers greater control and better source separation for interviews, vlogs where you speak directly to the camera, or segments with multiple participants.
In practice, connecting these transmitters is as simple as pairing them directly, without any strange adapters or excessive configuration. For those recording outdoors, the option to use Windbreaks included in the packs It helps to minimize wind noise, one of the common problems in this type of recording.
Smart features and creative modes
Beyond stabilization and tracking, the Osmo Pocket 4 adds a series of creative and intelligent modes designed to improve the result without needing to complicate things too much with editing.
Among them are the film tonesA collection of predefined looks designed to recreate classic styles and give videos a more cinematic feel without the need for color correction software. It also includes an "In-Camera Beautification" feature that allows you to adjust smoothness, brightness, and skin tone, primarily intended for selfies and vertical videos for social media.
The aforementioned attachable fill light With three brightness levels and adjustable color temperature, it allows you to enhance portraits or close-ups in low-light conditions. For those who film at night in the city, in dimly lit interiors, or at dawn, this small accessory can make all the difference without the need for external lights.
The camera continues to rely on the app DJI Mimo For remote control, large-screen viewing, and quick editing. Synchronization remains one of the strengths of the DJI ecosystem, making it easy for both novice users and regular creators to manage clips and publish almost instantly.
Focus on cycling and sport: filming without getting off the bike
Part of DJI's message with this Osmo Pocket 4 is clearly geared towards cyclist and outdoor sports enthusiastThe compact size, mechanical stabilization, and one-handed operation make it a good fit for those who need to record while moving without carrying bulky equipment.
On mountain bike rides at dawn or dusk, where the light changes rapidly and goes from clearings to shadows among the trees, the 1-inch sensor and wide dynamic range They promise to maintain detail in both dark and well-lit areas. For technical videos or tutorials, the 4K/240 fps option makes it easy to analyze maneuvers, jumps, or complicated descents in exquisite detail.
Simplified control—being able to start recording simply by rotating the screen or using gestures to activate functions— It reduces the need to manipulate the camera while riding, which is appreciated for both convenience and safety. The 5D joystick also helps make adjustments without having to completely release the handlebars if the camera is mounted on specific brackets.
Added to all this is autonomy, which is around three or four hours of recording depending on resolution and conditions, and the 107 GB internal memory, which prevents you from having to worry about whether the card has filled up right in the middle of a descent or an interesting section.
Availability, prices and packages in Spain and Europe
DJI has structured the Osmo Pocket 4 offering into three different packsAll of them are available for pre-order at the official store and authorized European retailers, with shipments beginning on April 22nd. Prices They are situated in a mid-to-high range, but quite in line with what the brand has been offering in this range.
El Essential Pack It's the most affordable option: it has an official price of €479 and includes the Osmo Pocket 4, a USB-C to USB-C PD cable (USB 3.1), a 1/4″ threaded handle, and a portable carrying case. It's designed for those who already own tripods, microphones, or other accessories and only need the camera with the essentials.
Above it is the Standard PackThe price rises to €499 and includes, in addition to the above, a stabilizer clamp and a wrist strap. This combo is aimed at users who want to start recording right out of the box with a more complete set.
The most complete is the Creators PackPriced at €619, it includes everything in the Standard pack plus a wide-angle lens (inherited from the Osmo Pocket 3), the DJI Mic 3 transmitter with magnetic clip, two windscreens, a magnetic charging magnet and cable, the Pocket 4-specific fill light, an Osmo mini tripod, and a dedicated carrying bag. It's the most logical choice for those who make a living creating content and want a nearly complete kit.
Additionally, DJI sells separately specific accessories such as fill light, battery grip, magnetic ND filters, protective case, expansion adapters or individual carrying bag, so that each user can expand the equipment according to their needs.
International context and the Pro model on the horizon
Although the Osmo Pocket 4 arrives in Europe without any obstacles, the international context is not so simple. In the United States, DJI has encountered regulatory restrictions Following its inclusion on the FCC's so-called "Covered List," approval of this model has been complicated and could also delay a future Pro version.
At the same time, the rumors and leaks they point to a Osmo Pocket 4 Pro With a dual-camera system and 3x optical zoom, a slightly larger gimbal, and presumably an even bigger battery, a possible launch around June is rumored, although there is no official confirmation or clear information guaranteeing its immediate arrival in all markets.
Meanwhile, the standard Pocket 4 is positioned as the available option for creators in Spain and the rest of Europe, with 4K/240 fps, improved tracking, long battery life, and an ecosystem of accessories already established. For many users, especially those coming from the Pocket 2 or if they don't have a previous model, the current proposal more than covers most usage scenarios.
With all of the above, the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 positions itself as a very complete pocket gimbal camera: it combines a 1-inch sensor, three-axis stabilization, 4K video at 240 fps, 107 GB of internal memory, ActiveTrack 7.0 and a more polished control system, with packages starting from 479 euros designed for different user profiles, from those who just want to record without complications to creators who need a compact but versatile piece of equipment to work daily.
