Below, we break down the best of this new release:
1. Superior Image Quality
Sensor
Osmo Pocket 4’s new 1-inch CMOS and f/2.0 aperture create soft bokeh for dimensional, clear portraits. With a 14-stop dynamic range and 10-bit D-Log, it captures rich details and authentic colours, even in high-contrast scenes like the seaside or dusk.
Lossless Zoom
Enjoy 2× lossless zoom for sharp, clear footage, even from a distance. Simply tap the dedicated zoom button once to switch between 1× and 2× views, capturing each moment just as you imagine.
2. Intelligent Recording
Ultra HD Slow Motion
Record in 4K/240fps to slow down life’s joyful moments, capturing every frame with smooth, sharp clarity.
Stable Footage on the Move
Walk, film, and create effortlessly with 3-axis stabilization. From playing with kids to scenic views, Osmo Pocket 4 keeps every moment steady. Plus, multiple gimbal modes allow for even smoother, silkier camera movements. A rotatable Touchscreen makes this even more fluid and shake-free.
Always in Frame With ActiveTrack
Osmo Pocket 4 supports ActiveTrack 7.0, which can track distant subjects even at 4× zoom. With tracking modes such as Spotlight Follow and Dynamic Framing, capturing cinematic, single-handed shots becomes effortless.
Better Memory
107GB Built-In Storage & 800MB/s Transfer
Subject First With Intelligent Autofocus
Intelligent autofocus keeps your subject sharp. Enable “Subject Lock Tracking” to automatically lock onto and track your subject; simply tap a detection box on the screen to switch the focus to a different subject. Alternatively, use “Registered Subject Priority” to prioritize focusing on a pre-registered subject.
Gesture Control for Quick Shots

“V” Gesture: Flash a peace sign to take photos or start/stop recording.
3. Enhanced & Fun User Interface
The user interface has been significantly upgraded to be both more intuitive and enjoyable to use. At the heart of this experience are some pretty versatile functions
5D Joystick
Handles navigation and orientation with simple click patterns: A single press returns you to the previous screen, and a double-tap recenters the gimbal. 3 clicks will quickly flip the camera.
Two New Buttons
Two dedicated buttons were introduced to streamline zooming and personalization. A single press of the Zoom button toggles between 1x and 2x magnification, while a double-tap jumps straight to 4x. Meanwhile, the custom button provides immediate access to a user-defined preset via a long press.
2” Rotatable Touchscreen
All of this is monitored through a vibrant 2-inch, rotatable touchscreen, featuring a high-brightness 1000-nit OLED display that allows you to start capturing simply by rotating the screen.
Final Thoughts
By successfully integrating a 1-inch sensor with a 14-stop dynamic range into such a constrained gadget, DJI has addressed the primary demands of the DJI community: better low-light performance and professional-grade colour science. It’s the underlying processing power of Active Track 7.0 that secures its place as a serious tool for creators – transitioning from a useful portable device into a powerful instrument that holds its own in a professional workflow.
The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is expect to arrive in stores in late April, 2026.
