The dji osmo pocket 4 arrives as a refined pocket gimbal camera with focused upgrades to image quality and usability, according to recent reviews. It pairs a larger 1-inch sensor and a 20mm equivalent, f2.0 lens to deliver more detailed footage and improved low light performance.
Reviewers report the camera now offers a 14-stop dynamic range and a true 10-bit D-Log Pro picture profile, which provides genuinely wider grading latitude than the previous D-Log M profile.
Video specs include a higher native slow motion capability at 240 fps for up to 10x slow motion, expanded shutter speeds down to 1/4, and a selectable 2x lossless zoom in 4K that jumps to 4x in 1080p with some digital artefacts noted at the extreme.
Stabilization remains a defining strength, with a mechanical gimbal praised for yielding cleaner walking and running footage than electronic stabilization, while reviewers highlighted a new dynamic framing mode that repositions subjects using the golden ratio for more natural tracking.
Hardware changes include two new buttons below the 2-inch display, one dedicated to zoom and one user assignable across single, double and triple clicks, plus 107GB of internal storage and a magnetic modular fill light offered in a creator bundle.
Audio receives upgrades with three onboard microphones supporting spatial audio, an audio zoom feature and a Vocal Boost option for clearer voices, and the camera can pair natively with wireless transmitters in the included Creator Combo.
Rising Competition And Market Context
Insta360 has teased the Luna Ultra as a direct rival, with leaks as reported by TechAvid suggesting a modular design, magnetic accessories and a dual camera option with up to 3x optical zoom.
Leaked features also point to a rotating touchscreen, a thumb joystick and dedicated zoom and record buttons, plus a 1550mAh battery that could extend recording times compared with DJI's current cells.
TechAvid and other reports mention a companion device codenamed E-Link that may enhance connectivity and workflow, and both Insta360 and DJI are expected to reveal their new pocket gimbal models at NAB 2026, which runs April 19 to April 22.
The competing launches set a direct comparison between DJI's incremental but polished Pocket 4 and a potentially more modular Luna Ultra, leaving buyers to weigh proven image quality against rumored versatility and accessory ecosystems.
