DJI Launches Osmo Pocket 4P Pocket Cinema Camera

The compact two‑lens device pairs a 1‑inch LOFIC sensor with a 60mm mid‑tele lens to expand creator tools and signal rising phone‑maker competition in the pocket gimbal market.

Overview

  • DJI announced the Osmo Pocket 4P and opened pre‑orders with pricing from ¥3,799 for the standard kit and ¥4,299 for the Vlog kit, with JD.com reservation windows active after the June 15 launch.
  • The camera’s wide main lens uses a new 1‑inch LOFIC sensor that DJI says delivers about 17 stops of dynamic range and supports D‑Log 2 and 10‑bit recording for greater post‑production latitude.
  • A newly added 60mm f/1.8 mid‑tele lens provides 3× optical zoom and up to 12× total zoom while the body records up to 4K at 240 fps for slow motion.
  • Hardware and workflow features include a three‑axis mechanical gimbal with Intelligent Follow 8.0, built‑in 103GB storage, USB 3.1 wired transfer up to 800MB/s, Wi‑Fi live and in‑camera timecode.
  • DJI frames the product as a system play that relies on gimbal tech, accessories and the Mimo app, and industry reports say OPPO and vivo are planning rival handheld gimbal cameras for later this year that will intensify competition.
