Quick answer: DJI has confirmed the Osmo Pocket 4 — a 1-inch CMOS pocket gimbal camera with claimed 4K/240fps, 14-stop dynamic range, 10-bit D-Log, 2× lossless zoom, 107GB built-in storage, and ActiveTrack 7.0. Announced 16 April 2026; China sales the same day, other regions after pre-order toward 22 April 2026 (per DPReview). UK/EU launch kits start around $567–$588 / €479–€499 depending on combo — no official US$ MSRP on DJI’s US channel because official US sale was blocked at launch. This is a launch briefing from DJI’s product page and reputable press, not a Gadget Clash lab review.
Osmo Pocket 4 keeps the Pocket-series formula — three-axis gimbal, rotatable touchscreen, 20 mm–class wide look — and pushes frame rate, color latitude, onboard storage, and tracking rather than inventing a new form factor. A dual-lens Osmo Pocket 4P arrived later (July 2026 press cycle); this briefing covers the standard Pocket 4 only.
Claims below come from DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4 product page (including regional mirrors such as dji.com/br/osmo-pocket-4) and launch coverage from DPReview, The Verge, Engadget, and CNET. Footnotes [1]–[7] on DJI’s page flag mode and lab caveats — treat those as manufacturer limits, not GC measurements. Gadget Clash has not bench-tested Osmo Pocket 4.

Quick picks
- Worth a look if: you want a pocket 1-inch gimbal cam with 4K slow-mo, D-Log grading headroom, and onboard storage without carrying a mirrorless kit
- Wait / compare if: you already own Pocket 3 and mainly need “good enough” 4K vlogs — press reviews call this an iterative step-up, not a category reset
- Who it’s for: creators outside restricted US retail who want ActiveTrack vlogging, film tones, and Mic ecosystem audio in one hand
What DJI announced
Per DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4 product page and April 2026 press release:- Sensor / lens: 1-inch CMOS with f/2.0 aperture (DJI: soft bokeh for portraits; press commonly cites ~20 mm equiv. FOV, same class as Pocket 3)
- Video: up to 4K/240fps [1] for ultra-HD slow motion
- Dynamic range / color: up to 14 stops [2]; 10-bit D-Log [3] (upgrade vs Pocket 3’s D-Log M in press comparisons)
- Zoom: 2× lossless zoom [4]; dedicated Zoom button also jumps toward 4× in lower-res modes (DJI / press)
- Stabilization: 3-axis gimbal + rotatable touchscreen; rotate the screen to start recording (DJI UX pitch)
- Storage: 107GB built-in with up to 800MB/s transfer [5]; microSD still supported per press
- Tracking / AF: ActiveTrack 7.0 [6] and intelligent focusing, including subject-lock / registered-subject priority modes (DJI)
- Audio: OsmoAudio 4-channel output [7] with direct DJI Mic transmitter support (Mic 2 / Mic 3 / Mic Mini per DJI)
- Other creator tools: Film Tone looks, in-camera Beautify, slow-shutter video, gesture control, attachable fill light (Creator kits), 5D joystick + custom preset button
- Battery (DJI claims): recharge 0→80% in about 18 minutes; up to 240 minutes of 1080p/24fps when fully charged (lab conditions)
Key differentiator vs Pocket 3
Same pocket-gimbal silhouette and 1-inch / f/2.0 class, but Pocket 4’s selling story is 4K/240, fuller 10-bit D-Log, claimed 14-stop DR, 107GB onboard, physical zoom/preset controls, and ActiveTrack 7.0 — plus modular fill-light / Mic combos. DPReview framed it as a value-tilted refresh (Standard Combo cheaper than Pocket 3’s UK launch price in that outlet’s comparison). Buyer takeaway: upgrade if slow-mo, grading latitude, and “forgot the SD card” storage matter; stay on Pocket 3 if you already shoot happy 4K/120 vlogs and your region still stocks it cheaper.Price and availability
- Announcement: 16 April 2026 (DJI PR / major press)
- China: on sale from announcement day (DPReview)
- Other regions: pre-order window, then official sales from about 22 April 2026 (DPReview)
- UK kits (press): Essential about £429; Standard about £445; Creator Combo about £549 (DPReview / Trusted Reviews / The Verge — kit names and inclusions vary slightly by outlet)
- EU kits (press / storefront examples): Essential about €479; Standard Combo about €499; Creator about €619 (The Verge; EU DJI retail listings around launch — confirm live checkout)
- US: no official US MSRP published with the launch; DJI told press the Pocket 4 was not available on the US market while FCC authorization remained pending. Do not treat gray-market dollar stickers as DJI list price
How this fits a Gadget Clash shopping plan
Pocket 4 sits in the stabilized vlog-camera lane, not rugged action-cam. Pair the 1-inch sensor story with our sensor size, aperture, and focal length explainers so DJI’s f/2.0 and ~20 mm numbers mean something at the store. Choose Osmo Pocket 4 if: you want one-handed 1-inch gimbal footage with 4K/240 slow-mo, D-Log grading room, ActiveTrack, and built-in storage — and you can buy through an authorized regional channel. Skip if: you need dust/waterproof action shooting (gimbal cams are delicate), optical zoom, or official US retail/warranty; consider Pocket 3 where still sold, or an action cam for abuse-tolerant travel.Our verdict
Osmo Pocket 4 is a confirmed April 2026 DJI product with a clear official spec list — not rumor. The story is refinement (frame rate, DR/D-Log, storage, controls, tracking) on the Pocket 3 platform. Treat 14-stop DR, 4K/240, lossless zoom, and battery minutes as DJI lab claims until you see independent tests that match your shooting style. US shoppers should assume no official channel until DJI says otherwise; everyone else should compare live Standard vs Creator kits on the regional DJI store.Before you buy
- Confirm your country’s authorized availability and warranty — especially outside EU/UK/CN
- Decide Essential / Standard / Creator before checkout; Mic + fill light matter more than bag fluff for most vloggers
- Budget a microSD anyway if you shoot long days beyond 107GB
- Read DJI’s footnotes [1]–[7] for which modes actually unlock 240fps, zoom, ActiveTrack, and 4-channel audio
- If you need dual-lens reach, research the later Pocket 4P separately — do not confuse it with this standard Pocket 4

A later sibling (July 2026 press cycle) with a different dual-lens story. This post is about the standard Osmo Pocket 4 only. Editorial note: Based on DJI Osmo Pocket 4 product materials (dji.com/osmo-pocket-4 and regional mirrors such as dji.com/br/osmo-pocket-4), DJI’s 16 April 2026 PR Newswire release, and launch/review coverage from DPReview, The Verge, Engadget, and CNET, checked around 28 September 2026.
