DJI has launched the Osmo Pocket 4P, a handheld gimbal camera available in the United Kingdom, Europe, Canada, and Australia [1].
The release marks a significant hardware shift for the company as it introduces a dual-camera design to its portable line. This update targets creators who require high-end stability and image quality while traveling light, though the device remains unavailable for official sale in the U.S. [1].
The Osmo Pocket 4P features upgraded sensor technology and a wider dynamic range compared to previous iterations [1]. These hardware improvements are designed to provide more versatile filming options for vloggers and mobile videographers. Promotional footage for the device was filmed on the streets of Paris to showcase its handheld capabilities [1].
In the United Kingdom, the Osmo Pocket 4P is priced at £529 [1]. This represents a price increase over the base Pocket 4, which retails for £445 [1]. For comparison, the previous generation Osmo Pocket 3 was priced at £519 in the UK market [1].
While the global rollout covers several major markets, the absence of a U.S. launch leaves American creators without an official retail channel. The company has not provided a specific timeline for when, or if, the device will become available for purchase within the United States [1].

The decision to exclude the U.S. market from the Osmo Pocket 4P launch suggests ongoing regulatory or geopolitical friction between the Chinese drone manufacturer and American authorities. By focusing on Europe, Canada, and Australia, DJI maintains its global footprint while navigating a restrictive U.S. environment that has previously targeted the company's operations.
