While we wait for the official launch in China on March 26, 2026, we've gathered all the details about the new DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pro. Expect an improved 1-inch sensor, 4K recording at up to 240 frames per second, a longer battery life, and even a Pro version with a dual camera. All this in a pocket-sized package that makes a mockery of giant phones - and maybe even US regulations.
Imagine this: your phones today are bigger than many cameras from the 1990s, and you still dream of smooth, steady shots without the use of a tripod and without wrist pain. DJI Osmo Pocket 4 The Pro is coming (officially launched in China on March 26, 2026, with a global launch soon after) to prove how a small device can beat even professional equipment. Based on all the leaked photos, store videos, and quick start guides that have surfaced in recent months, we've investigated all the rumors. And indeed, there's enough irony in them to make a humorous vlog about it all.
Design: An evolution you can feel right away
The Osmo Pocket 4 retains the classic pocket-sized form of its predecessor, with some clever improvements. The handle is slightly longer for a better grip, and on the side there is a new "C" button (probably for quick settings) and a zoom slider. The stabilizer (gimbal) also has a removable LED light with adjustable brightness and color temperature. This is no longer just a camera, but a real mini movie set in your pocket.
The screen remains a 2-inch swivel OLED, but it's said to be brighter and have a higher refresh rate. The device is still compact enough to carry around with you—while your friends already need cases for their huge phones. Irony? While phone manufacturers are trying to make screens as big as possible, DJI is developing a device that fits in your pocket but still wins in terms of image quality.
Capabilities: From 1-inch sensor to 4K/240 fps – a real upgrade
At the heart of the new product is an improved 1-inch CMOS sensor, which brings better low-light performance and a wider dynamic range. Video will be able to be recorded in 4K resolution at 120 or even 240 frames per second, allowing for incredibly smooth slow-motion footage. Add in the 10-bit D-Log M color profile and you have the material for a true cinematic look.
Stabilization remains 3-axis, but with advanced AI face and object tracking - the camera will follow you as if it had its own personality. The new SuperPhoto mode offers 33 megapixel photos, and Wi-Fi 6 offers faster data transfer. The 1545 mAh battery allows for over 200 minutes of recording, meaning you can vlog all day without having to look for a power outlet. Compared to the Pocket 3 (which lasted around 166 minutes), this is a concrete step forward, not just a cosmetic fix.
Pro Version – DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pro: Dual Camera and Optical Zoom for Perfectionists
The rumors about the Pro model are the most exciting. This version is said to have two cameras – a wide-angle and a telephoto lens with 2x to 4x optical zoom, a variable aperture (f/1.7–f/2.8), and maybe even Hasselblad color technology. An additional camera on top with a protective cover? That would be a revolution for vloggers who want to zoom without moving. The Pro model is expected to hit the market a few months later (likely in the second quarter of 2026), as DJI clearly doesn’t want to jeopardize sales of the standard model.
Price and Availability: How much will this pocket wonder cost?
The expected price for the standard model is around 499 EUR, while the popular Creator Combo package (which includes an additional battery grip, wide-angle lens, tripod and case) is around 649 EUR. This is slightly more than the current price of the Pocket 3 Creator Combo, but the many upgrades justify this price increase. Due to the FCC registration, the device should also be available in the US, although DJI and US authorities are still fighting a regulatory battle in the market.
Why wait for the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 – or not?
While some Pocket 3 owners are already thinking about buying a new version, others advise: “Let's wait for the Pro.” And here's the charm of the whole story – DJI is teasing us with all the information so skillfully that it seems as if the new camera is already among us. If you are a vlogger, traveler or simply a fan of quality footage, the Osmo Pocket 4 will probably be one of the most fun gadgets of 2026.
Get your wallet ready. It'll be official on March 26th - and it'll likely prove once again that small can beat big. Just remember: sometimes the best vlog is the one you take completely off-the-cuff. And Pocket 4 is the perfect companion for that.
