DJI Osmo Pocket 4 steps up low-light performance, internal storage

Better slow-motion footage, improved low-light performance, and internal storage for the first time: the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 upgrades from its predecessor in multiple meaningful ways.

Officially announced overnight after a recent teaser, the Osmo Pocket 4 gimbal camera succeeds the impressive Osmo Pocket 3 from 2023 that quickly became a favourite among content creators. Its one-inch CMOS sensor is the same size, but it has been upgraded to support 240fps footage in 4K, something the previous model could only do in 1080p.

DJI’s gimbal camera also supports higher ISO levels, letting it compensate more when it’s dark out. The auto subject tracking is smarter, too, with ActiveTrack 7.0 taking advantage of the camera’s three-axis stabilisation to smoothly follow people or objects. If you place the Osmo Pocket 4 down, you can now start recordings via gestures, like a peace sign, or show your palm to enable subject tracking.

Another handy addition is built-in storage. MicroSD cards are still supported, but now you get 107GB of internal storage, so you can get shooting straight out of the box, plug the camera in, and transfer footage at up to 800MB/s.

In a rare win for consumers, who have faced increasing consumer technology prices with the global memory shortage, the Osmo Pocket 4 is actually cheaper than what the Pocket 3 was at launch. At $769 in Australia for the standard combo, the Pocket 4 is nearly $100 less than the Pocket 3’s $849 starting price. It’s a relief, considering DJI price increases hit the US midway through last year.

Another option is the $959 creator combo, which includes a DJI Mic 3, fill light, wide-angle lens, and a mini tripod with the camera.

I’ve been testing the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 and will have a full review on GadgetGuy soon.
