DJI Osmo Pocket 4
Launching today
DJI Osmo Pocket 4 pushes the pocket gimbal camera into a much more serious imaging system: 1-inch CMOS, 4K/240fps, 14-stop dynamic range, 10-bit D-Log, 2× lossless zoom, built-in storage, and faster pro-grade workflow features in a device that still fits in your pocket.

Hi everyone!
Ten years ago, my partner and I met on campus and built what felt like a very advanced phone gimbal at the time. Looking back now, that product feels almost ordinary.
Ten years later, the gimbal is no longer just a stabilizer attached to a phone. It has become a standalone imaging system of its own, and the Osmo Pocket line is probably the clearest consumer example of that shift. By the time you get to Pocket 4, you are looking at a 1-inch CMOS pocket camera with 4K/240fps, 14-stop dynamic range, 10-bit D-Log, 2× lossless zoom, built-in storage, and fast transfer in a device people can genuinely carry and use every day.
Control algorithms still matter, of course. But in my view, the real secret behind this category’s success is that handheld 3-axis stabilization crossed the threshold a long time ago. What matters now is the continued supply-chain maturity of motors and packaging, and the ability to keep securing high-quality 1-inch sensors at consumer scale. That is what turned this from a niche accessory into a mass consumer imaging product.
@zaczuo Hey Zac, great hunt! :)
I am planning to buy Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo for shooting videos on the go. This video was shot on my friend @iamanantgupta's Pocket 3.
Is "Pocket 4" the latest release? Is it as compact as the Pocket 3 or slightly bulky?

@rohanrecommends Thanks Rohan! It’s really cool!
I’d definitely look at Pocket 4. Pocket 3 is already a 2+ year-old product, and Pocket 4 is the latest one. It’s slightly longer, but not by much. This comparison page is pretty useful if you want to look through the details before deciding!
That’s a big step up in specs for something that small. How does it handle heat and battery when shooting at higher frame rates like 4K/240fps?
