Widely Covered
DJI has confirmed the global launch of the Osmo Pocket 4 on April 16 at 13:00, marking a significant update to its popular vlogging camera lineup. The new device promises enhanced camera hardware, improved tracking capabilities, and integrated storage, positioning it as a powerful tool for content creators. In the Eurozone, the Osmo Pocket 4 will be available starting at €499, a reduction from the previously planned €539, while pricing in the U.S. is expected to begin around $499. The launch will include two packages: the Standard and the Creator Combo, which bundles accessories such as an LED light, a grip, and a carrying case. A key topic of speculation prior to the launch has been the potential removal of the microSD card slot, sparked by a teaser video. However, new render images suggest the slot may still be included, likely protected by a sealed cover to improve dust and water resistance. Additionally, a teaser hints at a new Open Gate feature, allowing the camera to use the full sensor area in 4:3 or 3:2 formats—a capability similar to that of the iPhone 17 Pro series—potentially enhancing image quality and creative flexibility. The Osmo Pocket 4 features a 1-inch CMOS sensor, 4K recording at 240 FPS, a battery life of up to 240 minutes, and support for OsmoAudio and Wi-Fi 6. Meanwhile, a leak has revealed the upcoming Osmo Pocket 4 Pro, which will feature a dual-camera system and a three-fold optical zoom, setting it apart from the standard model. DJI is targeting a late spring release for the Pro version, expanding its offerings for professional and advanced users seeking more advanced vlogging capabilities.
