DJI has announced the Osmo Pocket 4P, a palm-sized gimbal camera, opening pre-orders first in China. The biggest upgrade is the series' first dual main camera setup, pairing a 1-inch wide-angle sensor with an added 60mm-equivalent medium-telephoto camera. That enables 3x optical zoom, letting you switch between a high-dynamic-range wide view and a tighter telephoto reach on a single device. The standard set is priced at 3,799 yuan (about 90,000 yen).
A two-camera design that finally reaches farther
The headline feature of the Osmo Pocket 4P is its dedicated medium-telephoto camera. Earlier pocket gimbals relied on a single wide-angle lens, so pulling in distant subjects meant leaning on digital zoom. By adding a separate telephoto lens, the 4P lets you move in on a subject while keeping image quality intact.
Zoom covers 3x optical, 6x lossless (using the sensor's pixels), and up to 12x digital. The wide camera is a 20mm-equivalent f/2.0 lens, while the telephoto uses a 1/1.28-inch sensor at 60mm-equivalent f/1.8. You can frame a wide landscape or a selfie, then crop into a stage or a slice of a cityscape, all from the device itself.
Up to 17 stops of dynamic range and D-Log 2
The wide main camera adopts LOFIC, a technology that stores the charge overflowing from each pixel in a separate capacitor to help suppress blown-out highlights. It delivers up to 17 stops of dynamic range, retaining detail in both highlights and shadows even in harsh backlight or high-contrast urban scenes.
For color, the wide camera supports D-Log 2 and 10-bit, a recording format that keeps rich tonal information for editing and handles more than a billion colors. The telephoto side supports 10-bit D-Log as well, so both cameras are built for serious color grading.
4K/240fps slow motion and upgraded subject tracking
Standard video tops out at 4K/60fps. Slow motion reaches up to 4K/240fps on the wide camera and 4K/200fps on the telephoto, preserving smooth super-slow footage at high resolution. Still images go up to 37 megapixels.
Stabilization comes from a three-axis mechanical gimbal, and subject tracking has been upgraded to ActiveTrack 8.0. It keeps subjects in frame even while walking, and tracking reportedly holds even at 12x zoom. A 2-inch rotating touchscreen on the back, with up to 1,000 nits of brightness, makes it easier to check your composition outdoors.
Storage, transfer, and battery basics
Built-in storage is 103GB, expandable up to 1TB via microSD. Data transfer runs over USB 3.1 at up to 800MB/s, so offloading footage after a shoot should involve little waiting.
The battery is rated at 1,545mAh for up to 210 minutes of operation, and an optional 65W charger can bring it back to 80 percent in 18 minutes. Connectivity covers Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth LE 5.4, and the body weighs 230g. It keeps a pocketable footprint while packing in the second camera and fast transfers.
Price and availability
The standard set is priced at 3,799 yuan (about 90,000 yen), while the Vlog set, which bundles accessories for vlogging, costs 4,299 yuan (about 102,000 yen). For now, pre-orders have only opened in China, and pricing and timing for Japan have not been announced.
※1 yuan = about 23.7 yen (as of June 17, 2026)
Summary
The Osmo Pocket 4P directly tackles the pocket gimbal's longtime weakness — reach — by adding a dedicated medium-telephoto camera. With 3x optical zoom, up to 17 stops of dynamic range, 4K/240fps slow motion, and ActiveTrack 8.0, it broadens what this format can shoot. A Japan launch is still undecided, but for anyone after a compact camera that handles everything from wide to telephoto in one body, it looks like a strong contender.
