The cat's out of the bag. After months of rumors and online speculation, DJI has finally unveiled the dual-camera sibling to the 5-star Osmo Pocket 4. The DJI Osmo Pocket 4P is here and it's very real — I've held it, shot footage on it, and I can tell you that it's a marvellous little camera.
I've just got back from spending a few days in Malta, where I recorded the sights and sounds of the Southern European country on the Osmo Pocket 4P. For those of you who may already have heard rumblings on the internet, you'll know that the Osmo Pocket 4P is designed to go toe-to-toe with the Insta360 Luna Ultra — Insta360's flagship dual-lens gimbal camera.
The Luna Ultra is already available to buy in the U.S. which gives it an upper-hand over the Osmo Pocket 4P. It's been a few months since the Osmo Pocket 4 came out and it still can't be bought in the U.S. due to the ongoing restrictions and tariffs on the brand's products by the U.S. government — so it's unlikely the Osmo Pocket 4P will become available across the pond at the same time as in Europe.
Should the camera become available in the U.S., though, it's certainly worth buying. I can't tell you much about the camera's specs but I can confirm that the Osmo Pocket 4P has two lenses, one of which is a 60mm medium-telephoto.
I can't discuss resolution or frame rates, but I can tell you that the Osmo Pocket 4P features D-Log2 support as well as a whopping 17 stops of dynamic range — giving you plenty of wiggle room in post-production. Design-wise, the Osmo Pocket 4P comes in black or white, and the latter is a first for DJI.
We don't know about pricing yet. Given that the Osmo Pocket 4 costs £429 in the U.K., and the Luna Ultra retails for $769 in the U.S., maybe the Osmo Pocket 4P would cost between $550 and $650.
DJI typically undercuts Insta360 (which always prices high) in all but the U.S. market, where tariffs have forced up DJI's pricing. I imagine DJI would want to undercut Insta360 here by pricing the Osmo Pocket 4P cheaper than the Luna Ultra. We've seen it with the Antigravity A1 which uses Insta360's 360° imaging tech. It came out long before the DJI Avata 360 and it carried an exorbitant price tag ($1,599!). DJI priced its first 360° drone far cheaper than the A1, which made the Avata 360 better value for money. This is all speculation, of course, and we won't know for certain until DJI releases this information.
The sights and sounds of Malta on the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P
Enough talk of specs and rumors. I've shot on the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P, so what does footage look like? Stunning, in one word. Above, I've compiled a vlog of the videos I recorded in Malta so you can feast your eyes. As you can see, stabilization is fantastic; the colors appear true to life and vibrant; and the dynamic range performance is excellent. There's plenty of detail to enjoy in dark shadows, and the highlights don't appear blown out either.
That's all I can really say, and all I'm allowed to tell you, without talking about specs. We will have a full review of the Osmo Pocket 4P in the near future. In the meantime, what do you think of the video quality and the camera in general? Let me know in the comments below!
What can I buy right now if not the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P?
Now that you've seen the footage I recorded in Malta, have I enticed you into buying the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P when it comes out? I apologize to my American comrades because I don't know whether the Osmo Pocket 4P will be available in U.S. at launch — but fret not, there are alternatives!
