DJI has launched the Osmo Pocket 4, a compact gimbal camera featuring a dual-lens system and a 1-inch sensor [1, 2].
The new device targets content creators by combining high-definition video capabilities with a portable form factor. By integrating a dual-camera setup, DJI aims to provide more versatile framing options for vloggers and mobile filmmakers without requiring bulky equipment [3, 4].
The Osmo Pocket 4, also referred to as the Pocket 4 Pro or 4P [1, 2], introduces a three-times optical zoom [1]. This hardware upgrade allows users to capture distant subjects with greater clarity than previous iterations of the Pocket series. The inclusion of the 1-inch sensor is designed to improve low-light performance and image depth [1].
In the Philippines, the device officially launched on April 29, 2026 [5]. The retail price for the camera in that market is P28,990 [5]. While the global announcement was handled by DJI, the Philippine launch served as a key regional introduction for the hardware [3, 5].
Some reports on the device specifications vary. While some sources confirm the dual-camera system [1], other reports highlight general specifications without explicitly mentioning the dual-lens configuration [3]. Despite these discrepancies, the core focus of the release remains the improvement of the sensor and zoom capabilities for handheld cinematography [4].
The camera is part of a broader push by DJI to refine user-friendly video tools. The company intends for the device to bridge the gap between professional cinema cameras and smartphone video by offering stabilized, high-quality footage in a pocket-sized package [3, 4].
“DJI has launched the Osmo Pocket 4, a compact gimbal camera featuring a dual-lens system and a 1-inch sensor.”
The introduction of optical zoom and a larger sensor in a gimbal-stabilized format suggests DJI is moving toward replacing smartphone cameras for serious vloggers. By adding a dual-lens system, the company is addressing the primary limitation of compact cameras—fixed focal lengths—thereby increasing the device's utility for diverse filming environments.
