Finally, the first image of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 camera leaked, and we have it too. In this article, we are going to discuss about the rumoured price of the camera, specifications and expected arrival timeline. The handheld gimbal camera is very much popular among content creators, and specifically in the video camera category, it has been grabbing almost 50% of the entire market share, specifically in Japan.
The Pocket 3 was announced back in 2023, and at the time of announcement, it raised the bar with a 1-inch CMOS sensor, 4K 120 FPS video recording, support of D-Log M and 10-bit options for having higher latitude in shadows and highlight areas. Well, this was our Pocket 3 or smoke way ahead of its time.
The first leaked image of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 camera
In the first image of the Osmo Pocket 4 camera, we have a very clear view of the branding Pocket 4, obviously, it is being held by someone with a kind of green background. The good thing is that the form factor of the camera looks very similar and compact compared to the previous generation Pocket 3.
The same image is being surfaced and circulating in Chinese social media forums. From the image, the device looks like an early prototype stage when the image was captured, so the unofficial teaser confirms its development, but will it arrive in 2025, or will the announcement be shifted to 2026? We are going to discuss over that after the specification part.
Rumored Specifications
Core specifications, which are already floating over the internet across many websites, say the upcoming DJI Pocket 4 camera will have the same 12-megapixel sensor and 4K video recording up to 240 frames per second. The specifications also say the upcoming Pocket 4 will have a slightly larger display screen of 2.5 inches and will weigh approximately 190 grams.
Will Pocket 4 also get an 8K sensor in the near future?
The upcoming DJI Osmo Pocket 4 camera will likely have an 8K-capable 1-inch sensor inside it. Why 8K sensor inside the Pocket 4? Is it possible? DJI is already using dual 1-inch sensors paired with dual lenses in the recently announced Osmo 360 camera ($549), which is able to record 8K 30 FPS of dual stream video simultaneously, as well as dual 4K 120 FPS video. The Osmo 360 is not only recording these dual streams 8K or 4K 120fps, it is also processing inside it, merging it to create a perfect 360 video for the users, while maintaining overheating very effectively.
DJI Osmo Pocket 360 camera has already demonstrated the ability to integrate higher resolution 1-inch sensors in small compact devices. And DJI is known for progressive upgrades, for example, the sensor size from 1/1.7 inch was shifted and increased to 1 inch in Pocket 3, so that was a big improvement in the sensor size of the camera, resulting in excellent low-light videos. Now the next logical step is towards higher resolutions like 6K or 8K for the Pocket 4, specifically targeting professional content creators, solo storytellers. Giving an excellent option/alternative compared to the new generation iPhone 17 cameras.
