DJI Osmo Pocket 4 spotted ahead of its official launch
Vloggers and tech enthusiasts swear by DJI’s Pocket line of gimbal cameras — and for good reason. With the current Pocket 3 turning three years old toward the end of this year, rumors and leaks about a new Pocket 4 model have been circulating for quite some time.
Earlier leaks suggested a dual-lens design featuring a secondary zoom camera, similar to a recent Insta360 leak and, more importantly, to the dual-camera systems used on some DJI drones. However, a newly leaked short hands-on video shows a very familiar single-lens design, though with several noticeable changes. The dual-lens setup could still become reality in a potential Pocket 4 Pro variant. Compared to the current Pocket 3, the alleged Pocket 4 appears to have a longer stem, a mysterious “C” button, and what looks like a dedicated zoom button. The flip-out display and overall gimbal structure seem unchanged. Notably, there appears to be an LED light attached to one of the gimbal joints — something not officially available for the Pocket 3, especially not with “OSMO” branding on the back. The “POCKET 4” text visible on the device further adds credibility to the leak.
The video was reportedly sourced from thenewcamera.com and allegedly filmed inside a DJI-authorized store in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, after someone walked in carrying the device. While the story sounds far-fetched, it wouldn’t be the first time early footage of unreleased DJI tech surfaced in Malaysia.
Unfortunately, the video only briefly showcases the software side. The user interface appears largely unchanged. However, a new 33MP “SuperPhoto” mode for still images is visible. An earlier Amazon Denmark listing suggested the Pocket 4 would retain a 1-inch sensor but upgrade video capabilities to 4K at 240fps, compared to the Pocket 3’s 4K at 120fps limit. A larger battery may also be included, aligning with the taller body design. The listing indicated a price range between $550 and $700 depending on the bundle. Buyers in Asia and Europe can likely expect similar pricing, while US prices may be higher due to tariffs — assuming DJI is able to sell the device there at all.
