A series of leaks discovered by NewCamera has revealed a metric ton of information about a new version of DJI's popular mini vlogging camera, the Osmo Pocket 4.
The current DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is an excellent little camera, and save a couple of small flaws, would have received a full 5 stars in our review. NewCamera's leaks appear to show significant improvements over the three-year-old device.
They spotted a video on Instagram that was allegedly filmed inside a DJI-authorized store in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. That video has since been deleted, but was saved and can be seen here:
At first glance, the purported Osmo Pocket 4 looks very similar to the Pocket 3. However, we can see what appears to be a zoom button and a Nintendo Switch 2-esque "C" button above the record button and thumbstick.
The gimbal appears to be longer and has a new grip. The biggest change looks to be a built-in LED light on top of the camera, which looks like it'll be perfect for shooting in low light or at night.
Additionally, the person in the video appears to be shooting in "Super Photo" mode at 33MP.
Osmo Pocket 4 Specs
There are some specs for the Pocket 4, and largely it appears to be very similar to the Pocket 3 with some upgrades, and a potential leap in price.
Some minor updates include a brighter, rotatable OLED display, a larger battery, the LED light (which may be optional) and potentially 6K recording at 30 fps.

It's possible the camera and the LED light will be more expensive than the Pocket 3 thanks to component price increases and President Trump's tariffs.
However, as of this writing, the U.S. Supreme Court just struck down Trump's tariffs in a major ruling. However, it will take some time to unwind the taxes, and the ruling left open the door for the administration to pursue other avenues to impose import levies. Additionally, as the New York Times reports, the president is steadfast in his belief that he can just impose tariffs as is his wont.
Asked directly if he planned to work with Congress to impose the kinds of sweeping tariffs he prefers, Trump said he had no intention of doing so. “I don’t have to,” he said. “I have the right to do tariffs.”'
With that in mind, pricing for the Pocket 4 is up in the air and could change drastically between now and launch.
Will it release in the US?
In December 2025, DJI drones were officially banned from sale in the United States. It not only hit drones but also any drone that used foreign-made parts, including batteries, imaging sensors and batteries.
Pocket 4 isn't a drone, but it might get more scrutiny from the FCC. However, the ban only affects newer devices that didn't receive approval before December. The Pocket 4 has popped up in FCC regulatory listings, suggesting that it may have squeaked in before that deadline.
Still, the FCC has relaxed a little with its NSD FCC Covered List Waiver 0126 that could allow foreign-made drones and components to be sold in the US after "rigorous cyber and hardware assessments."
Meanwhile, you can still purchase older DJI products that were approved pre-ban.
