La DJI Osmo Pocket 4 It's official and it arrives to reinforce the brand's position in the segment of pocket cameras with stabilizerIt maintains the compact format that made it popular among vloggers and creators, but introduces important changes in the sensor, slow-motion recording, intelligent tracking, and everyday handling.
Far from being a total revolution in design, this new generation opts for a very profound evolution within: A 1 inch stacked CMOS sensor With significantly higher resolution, improved dynamic range, generous internal storage, and tighter integration with the DJI audio ecosystem, this device is aimed squarely at those seeking a lightweight tool for creating serious content, both in Spain and the rest of Europe.
A much more ambitious 1-inch sensor
The big leap of this generation is at the heart of the camera: a 1-inch stacked CMOS sensor with 37 effective megapixelsCompared to the Osmo Pocket 3, which had a 9,4 MP sensor of the same diagonal, the resolution increase is approximately four times, opening the door to 2x zoom cropping with virtually no loss and much greater flexibility when framing or reframing in editing.
This sensor comes with a 20mm lens with f/2.0 apertureA classic feature in this type of device, but now combined with more advanced processing that aims to improve skin tones and performance in high-contrast scenes. According to DJI, the camera is capable of delivering up to 14 stops of dynamic range when recording in the 10-bit D-Log color profile, leaving behind the previous generation's D-Log M and offering more room to recover highlights and shadows.
In photography, the Osmo Pocket 4 is no longer just an accessory, but a primary function. The new sensor allows you to capture Images up to 37 MP in Superphoto mode (with a 1:1 aspect ratio) or around 33 MP in 16:9 format, so those who want to use it as a small, high-resolution camera now have a real option. The customizable button is configured by default to switch between photo and video, a clear indication that DJI wants this model to be considered a pocket-sized hybrid camera.
All this hardware relies on a refurbished processing engine It works in conjunction with the stacked sensor to maximize dynamic range, raise the ISO ceiling in both photos and videos, and better control noise, especially in nighttime scenes or complex interiors. In practice, this translates to less loss of detail in shadows, more controlled highlights, and more natural colors straight from the camera, without relying as heavily on post-processing.
4K video at 240 fps and extreme slow motion
One of the most striking features of the Osmo Pocket 4 is its recording capability 4K video at up to 240 frames per secondwith a reduced crop compared to the standard frame. This mode allows for up to 8x slow motion without resorting to lower resolutions, something that until very recently was reserved for larger and more expensive cameras.
The combination of the 1-inch sensor, the bright f/2.0 lens, and the new processing means that, even in these high-speed modes, the camera maintains a remarkable level of detail and contained noiseThis makes it a particularly interesting tool for disciplines that require detailed analysis of movement, such as action sports, mountain biking, skateboarding, or technical recordings where every gesture counts.
In everyday situations, the leap from the Osmo Pocket 3 is clear: creators can go from slow motion limited to 120 fps in 4K to a Smooth slow motion at 240 fpswith enough leeway to play with time without the result looking like a simple digital trick. Furthermore, the usual 4K recording modes are retained at more moderate frame rates, designed for vlogs, travel, live streams, and social media content.
DJI has also included a mode of slow shutter video This feature allows you to manually adjust the shutter speed to create motion blur, light trails, or scenes with a sense of time passing. Combined with the extended dynamic range and color profiles, this function offers extra creative freedom to those who want to move beyond the typical action camera look.
For more advanced users, the profile 10-bit D-Log It offers significantly more detail in highlights and shadows than standard modes, making the Osmo Pocket 4 a perfect fit for more professional workflows, alongside larger cameras. It's not a complete replacement for a full-frame camera, but it's a very capable companion for light shoots where space and weight are key factors.
3-axis stabilization and ActiveTrack 7.0 tracking
The essence of the Osmo Pocket family remains: a camera mounted on a three-axis mechanical gimbal This system smooths out movements and drastically reduces vibrations. It remains one of the model's strongest selling points compared to phones with digital stabilization, especially in situations involving bumps, quick turns, or sudden changes in direction.
Based on that mechanical foundation, DJI incorporates ActiveTrack 7.0A new version of its intelligent tracking algorithm allows the Osmo Pocket 4 to track a subject even at 4x zoom, keeping it in the frame as it moves, turns, or blends into other people. New modes like Spotlight Tracking and Dynamic Framing have been added for more cinematic-looking shots using just one hand.
The system intelligent autofocus It allows you to lock onto a specific subject so the camera keeps it in focus. The user can tap the screen to select a new subject at any time, or activate the Saved Subject Priority function to give preference to a saved face—useful for vloggers who frequently appear on camera.
Interaction isn't limited to the touchscreen. The Osmo Pocket 4 incorporates gesture controlShowing the palm of your hand to the camera activates ActiveTrack mode, while the "V" gesture starts or stops recording or takes a photo, depending on the settings. This reduces the need to touch the camera when recording alone, for example, when making a vlog, an online class, or a tutorial.
DJI also maintains a series of intelligent modes inherited from its drones, such as Quick Shots, which automate certain camera movements to obtain more striking shots without prior experience. Combined with mechanical stabilization and tracking, they allow for quite polished results with very little effort.
Continuity of design but with improvements in controls and ergonomics
Externally, the Osmo Pocket 4 remains the same Pocket camera philosophy with narrow handle and integrated screen which we already know. It weighs around 190 grams, fits easily in almost any pocket, and is designed to be worn every day without being bothersome or attracting too much attention.
The most obvious visual novelty is the presence of two additional buttons below the screenThese buttons unlock when you rotate the camera to turn it on. One is dedicated to zoom: it allows you to switch between 1x and 2x zoom without loss of image quality with a single touch, and quickly access 4x digital zoom. The other is a customizable preset button, which each user can assign to their most frequently used functions, such as switching between modes, exposure settings, or focus types.
The joystick has also been redesigned and is now presented as a 5D Joystick More precise and easier to operate with your thumb. It allows you to pan, tilt, recenter the gimbal, and even rotate the camera, facilitating smoother compositions while walking, cycling, or filming from a vehicle.
The touchscreen plays a key role in the user experience. It's enough to rotate the screen to start the cameraThis significantly speeds up the process when an interesting scene arises. From this interface, you can access different shooting modes, exposure parameters, color profiles, and tracking options, with a relatively quick learning curve for anyone already familiar with the brand's products.
DJI has also incorporated a gimbal protection system When the camera is off, it locks and protects the unit without the need for an additional case. Furthermore, the back of the stabilizer features a dedicated port for accessories such as the attachable fill light, which is powered directly from the internal battery—useful for interviews, nighttime vlogs, or indoor recordings.
107GB internal storage and a more streamlined workflow
One of the most celebrated decisions of this generation is the incorporation of 107 GB internal storageThis drastically reduces reliance on microSD cards and allows you to go out and record without worrying so much about carrying extra memory, which is especially practical for trips, long sporting outings, or impromptu shoots.
This storage stands out not only for its capacity, but also for its speed: the Osmo Pocket 4 can perform file transfers up to 800 MB/sThis speeds up the transfer of material to a computer or mobile device. For creators who publish content frequently, this detail can make a significant difference in their daily workflow.
The microSD card slot remains, so those who need to record very long sessions or prefer to keep several projects separate have the option of combining internal and external memory. The internal memory, in any case, acts as a buffer, preventing the need to stop recording because you forgot a card at home.
This focus on integrated storage is complemented by improvements in the internal software and file organizationfacilitating the quick location of clips, the deletion of discarded material, and the preparation of content for later editing on a computer or mobile device.
Autonomy, fast charging and performance on long outings
In terms of energy, DJI promises that the Osmo Pocket 4 is capable of Record up to 240 minutes of video at 1080p and 24 fps under conditions defined by the manufacturer. In real-world environments, the figure may vary depending on gimbal usage, tracking modes, or temperature, but it still represents competitive battery life for a camera of this size.
Fast charging is another plus: with a compatible charger, the battery can go from 0 to 80% in just 18 minutesThis translates to approximately three hours of additional recording time. For intense days of filming, sporting events, or travel, this combination of long battery life and fast charging helps reduce battery anxiety.
In contexts such as cycling, hiking, or route recording, this battery life allows for recording long segments without constantly monitoring the remaining percentage. Users focused on sports content have highlighted that the camera fits well in bike rides of several hoursprovided that recording time is managed wisely and breaks are used to reload if necessary.
DJI also markets a handle with additional battery As an accessory, it's designed for those who need even more battery life without resorting to external power banks. This type of add-on extends the system's versatility for professionals who work long hours with the camera on.
Audio and OsmoAudio ecosystem: up to four sound channels
Sound is another area that receives considerable attention. The Osmo Pocket 4 integrates a microphone array It captures both vocals and ambient sound, with a pattern designed for vlogs and recordings on the go. While not a substitute for a dedicated studio microphone, it offers more than enough for many everyday uses.
The camera is compatible with OsmoAudio ecosystemThis allows for direct connection with the brand's own wireless transmitters, such as the DJI Mic 2, Mic 3, and Mic Mini. This integration enables the recording of audio up to four channels, combining external microphones with the camera's own built-in microphone.
In practice, this means that it's possible to record, for example, a two-person interview using wireless lavalier microphones while simultaneously preserving the ambient sound captured by the Osmo Pocket 4. For content creators, journalists, or trainers, this flexibility reduces the need to set up more complex sound equipment.
The different packages that DJI offers in Europe include, in their most complete versions, a DJI Mic 3 transmitter with accessories such as a magnetic clip, windscreen, magnet, and charging cable. This way, those who choose the creator package can leave practically ready to record with an integrated wireless audio system, without having to search for third-party equipment.
Smart features and additional creative options
Beyond pure image quality, the Osmo Pocket 4 incorporates a catalog of modes and functions designed to simplify recording to users of different skill levels. These include the aforementioned gesture controls, advanced tracking modes, and slow-motion video, but there are more details focused on the aesthetics of the content.
The camera offers a series of film tones Pre-configured settings allow you to achieve classic styles without complex color corrections. It also includes an in-camera beautification feature that gently adjusts skin smoothness, brightness, and tone for both selfies and group photos, designed for creators who prioritize quick publishing.
Another relevant accessory is the attachable fill lightIt connects to the rear port and offers three brightness levels and different color temperatures. For those who film indoors, at night, or at events with challenging lighting, this small light helps save many shots without having to carry extra lights.
In terms of platform integration, the Osmo Pocket 4 remains focused on vlogging and live streamingTaking advantage of its stabilization and lightweight design, the camera is clearly designed for quick content creation scenarios, both vertical and horizontal, with good quality right from your pocket. While the specific behavior will depend on the app and device used, the camera is also ideal for capturing good quality content, both vertically and horizontally, right from your pocket.
The combination of these functions, once mastered, transforms the camera from a simple point-and-record device into a fairly complete audiovisual creation toolespecially for those who work alone and need the camera to do part of the framing and tracking work by itself.
