DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Announced: 4K/240fps, ActiveTrack 7.0, and Built-in 107GB Storage

The Osmo Pocket line has become one of the most compelling options for vloggers, travel filmmakers, and even professionals looking for an ultra-portable B-camera. DJI appears to have listened carefully to user feedback, because the Pocket 4 addresses several of the predecessor's limitations while introducing genuinely new capabilities that push this form factor further into prosumer territory.

Sensor and Image Quality Upgrades

The Osmo Pocket 4 keeps the 1-inch CMOS sensor and f/2.0 aperture with a 20mm equivalent field of view, maintaining a minimum focus distance of 0.2m. The headline imaging improvement is the jump to 4K/240fps slow motion, up from 4K/120fps on the Pocket 3. That doubles the temporal resolution for slow-motion work, bringing a capability typically reserved for dedicated cinema cameras down to a 190.5g pocket device.

Standard 4K recording remains available at 24, 25, 30, 48, 50, and 60fps, along with 1080p at the same frame rates and vertical 9:16 modes at 3K and 1080p.

DJI now claims 14 stops of dynamic range in its D-Log color profile, which captures 10-bit color at up to 4K/60fps. For context, the Pocket 3 offered D-Log M with 10-bit recording, but DJI did not publish a dynamic range figure for that model.

The maximum video bitrate has increased from 130 Mbps to 180 Mbps, which should help preserve detail in demanding scenes. The ISO range spans 50–12800 for video and photo, extending to 25600 in the dedicated low-light video mode supporting up to 4K/30fps.

37-Megapixel Stills — A Massive Jump

One of the most significant upgrades is in still photography. The Pocket 4 captures 37-megapixel photos, a massive jump from the Pocket 3's 9.4MP stills. That is a max image size of 7680×4320 pixels in 16:9, or 6144×6144 in 1:1. DNG raw capture is supported alongside JPEG, and manual long exposure goes up to 4 seconds, which the three-axis gimbal should help keep sharp.

2x Lossless Zoom and New Lens Modes

The Pocket 4 introduces 2x lossless zoom at 4K resolution, with 4x zoom available in 1080p. A dedicated zoom button below the screen lets creators quickly toggle between 1x and 2x, or double-tap to jump to 4x. The 2x mode essentially gives you a 40mm equivalent mid-telephoto perspective at full 4K resolution — useful for tighter compositions without physically moving closer to your subject.

This follows the Med-Tele mode that DJI added to the Pocket 3 via firmware, but the Pocket 4 implements this natively from launch.

ActiveTrack 7.0 and Intelligent Autofocus

Tracking has received a substantial overhaul with ActiveTrack 7.0. DJI says the system now supports tracking people, vehicles, pets, and virtually any object at up to 4x zoom. Two new modes stand out:

• Dynamic Framing — position your tracked subject according to the golden spiral or rule of thirds using the joystick
• Face Auto-Detect — automatically follows the registered subject closest to center frame when recording begins

The autofocus system adds Subject Lock Tracking (tap on a detected face to lock continuous focus) and Registered Subject Priority (pre-register up to three individuals so the camera automatically prioritizes them for both tracking and autofocus). Combined with gesture control — palm for ActiveTrack, peace sign for recording — the Pocket 4 enables genuinely hands-free operation for solo creators.

New Physical Controls and Screen

The 2-inch OLED rotatable touchscreen upgrades to 1000 nits of peak brightness (up from 700 nits) and now covers 100% of the P3 wide color gamut. The screen resolution is 556×314 pixels.

Below the screen, DJI has added two new physical buttons:

• A dedicated zoom button
• A fully customizable button configurable for quick capture, gimbal recentering, gimbal rotation, photo/video switching, or fill light toggle

A new 5D analog joystick replaces simpler controls, offering proportional gimbal speed that increases the further you push. Press the center to go back, double-press to recenter, and triple-press to flip the camera orientation.

Built-in Storage and Connectivity

Perhaps the most practical everyday upgrade is the 107GB of built-in storage. Forget your microSD card and you can still shoot extensively. The Pocket 4 supports microSD cards up to 1TB for those who need more capacity.

• USB 3.1 — wired transfer speeds up to 800MB/s
• Wi-Fi 6 — wireless transfer speeds up to 90MB/s via DJI Mimo app
• Startup time — 2 seconds
• DJI Mic pairing — under 4 seconds

DisplayPort output is now supported for live streaming at up to 4K/60fps, making the Pocket 4 viable for broadcast and professional streaming setups. Built-in timecode functionality is also new, with DJI claiming less than one frame of drift over 8 hours of continuous operation — enabling reliable multi-camera sync in post-production.

Audio Ecosystem and OsmoAudio

The Pocket 4 features a three-microphone array with spatial audio recording, simulating binaural sound localization for immersive playback on headphones. Audio zoom adjusts the sound field based on your zoom level.

For professional audio, the camera supports direct connection to DJI Mic 2, DJI Mic 3, and DJI Mic Mini transmitters. When at least one transmitter is connected, the system records two audio tracks with four channels total:

• Track 1 — transmitter audio (split left/right when two transmitters are connected)
• Track 2 — built-in microphone array for ambient sound

This dual-track approach keeps dialogue and atmosphere on separate tracks within the same MP4 file — a genuine workflow advantage.

Creative Tools and Gimbal Features

Built-in film tones include CC Film, NC Film, Pastel, Warm Tone, Movie, and Retro. An in-camera beautify function allows adjustment of skin smoothness, brightness, and tone.

The three-axis gimbal supports Follow, Tilt Locked, FPV, and FPV Vertical modes with a controllable range of:

• Pan: -235° to 58°
• Tilt: -120° to 70°
• Roll: -45° to 45°

Angular vibration range is rated at a tight 0.005°. A SpinShot mode enables 180° roll axis rotation for dramatic one-handed spinning shots. Motionlapse supports up to four position waypoints.

Slow shutter video is a new addition, allowing shutter speeds down to 1/4 second in video mode for creative motion blur effects — opening up possibilities for trailing-light shots and time-passage sequences.

Battery and Physical Specs

An optional Battery Handle accessory provides an additional 1080 mAh of capacity, extending runtime by approximately 62% and adding a USB 3.1 port for external audio devices, high-speed data transfer, and DP live streaming. The handle supports hot swapping and includes a 1/4-inch thread for tripod mounting.

Accessories and Compatibility

The Pocket 4 is compatible with several existing Osmo Pocket 3 accessories:

• Wide-angle lens (expanding FOV to 108°)
• Black mist filter
• Magnetic ND filter set
• Expansion adapter

New accessories include the Osmo Pocket 4 Fill Light, which magnetically attaches to the gimbal and offers three levels each of brightness (12, 25, 40 lux at 0.6m) and color temperature (2800K, 4000K, 5500K). The gimbal also features automatic axis locking when powered off, eliminating the need for a manual gimbal clamp during transport.

Pricing and Availability

The Osmo Pocket 4 is available for pre-order now, with shipping beginning April 22. Three configurations are available:

The Osmo Pocket 4 does not appear to be officially available in the US market through DJI's own channels at this time. DJI Care Refresh protection plans are available in both 1-year (2 replacements) and 2-year (4 replacements) options.

Verdict

The Osmo Pocket 4 looks like a comprehensive upgrade that brings 4K/240fps, 37MP stills, and built-in timecode to DJI's most pocketable gimbal camera. The addition of 107GB internal storage, USB 3.1, DisplayPort streaming, and ActiveTrack 7.0 makes this a serious tool for content creators who need professional features in a pocket-sized form factor.

Whether you're upgrading from the Pocket 3 or entering the Osmo Pocket ecosystem for the first time, the Pocket 4 delivers meaningful improvements across imaging, connectivity, and usability.
