DJI has officially set the new standard for compact vlogging today with the launch of the Osmo Pocket 4. Featuring a massive 1-inch CMOS sensor and the ability to shoot 4K/240fps slow-motion, the Pocket 4 bridges the gap between professional cinema cameras and handheld stabilizers.

1-Inch Sensor: Low-Light Dominance

The core upgrade is the specialized 1-inch sensor, which provides a significantly higher dynamic range and low-light performance compared to the Pocket 3. The new sensor utilizes Quad-Pixel Binning to reduce noise in challenging environments, making it a favorite for 24-hour lifestyle creators.

ActiveTrack 7.0 & AI Focus

The Pocket 4 introduces ActiveTrack 7.0, powered by an on-device NPU. It can now recognize and track multiple subjects simultaneously, even when they are partially obscured or moving at high speeds. The AI also handles Skin Tone Normalization in real-time, ensuring consistent color science across different lighting conditions.

Technical Specifications

  • Resolution: 4K at 240fps / 8K at 30fps (Hyperlapse)
  • Color: 10-bit D-Log M & 10-bit HLG
  • Battery: 185 minutes of continuous 4K recording
  • Display: 2.2-inch OLED rotatable touchscreen
