DJI Osmo Pocket 4 arrived today with jaw-dropping specs that reshape portable filmmaking. The new gimbal camera shoots 4K at 240fps, captures 37-megapixel stills, and packs 107GB of built-in storage. Released April 16, 2026, it represents the biggest upgrade yet to DJI’s beloved pocket camera line.
🔥 Quick Facts
- 4K Slow Motion: 240fps capability doubles the Pocket 3’s 120fps frame rate
- Still Photography: 37MP resolution is a massive jump from the predecessor’s 9.4MP output
- Storage Solution: 107GB built-in means no microSD card required for extended shooting
- Dynamic Range: 14 stops with 10-bit D-Log color depth for professional grading
Revolutionary 4K/240fps Slow Motion Capability
The headline spec that stopped creators cold: 4K recording at 240fps. This capability arrived early on professional cinema cameras but now fits in your pocket. The Pocket 4 doubles the Pocket 3’s temporal resolution for slow motion work. Standard 4K recording spans 24, 25, 30, 48, 50, and 60fps, plus 1080p at matching rates and vertical 9:16 modes for TikTok and Reels creators.
Video bitrate climbed from 130 Mbps to 180 Mbps for sharper detail in demanding scenes. The 1-inch CMOS sensor with f/2.0 aperture and 20mm equivalent focal length stays identical. What changed is color science: 14 stops of dynamic range with 10-bit D-Log at up to 4K/60fps handles bright skies and dark shadows the way professionals demand.

Photography Gets a Serious Upgrade with 37MP Stills
Still photographers complained the Pocket 3 underperformed at 9.4MP. DJI listened. The Pocket 4 jumps to 37 megapixels, reaching 7,680 x 4,320 pixels in 16:9 or 6,144 x 6,144 in 1:1 square format. DNG raw capture is supported alongside JPEG.
Manual long exposure extends to 4 seconds, allowing dramatic low-light shots. The mechanical gimbal stabilizes handheld long exposures for night or twilight compositions. Minimum focus distance stays 0.2m, enabling shallow depth-of-field effects even at this pocket size. ISO ranges 50 to 12,800 standard, extending to 25,600 in dedicated low-light video mode.
Smart Tracking and Gimbal Innovation
| Feature | Details |
| ActiveTrack Version | 7.0 with multi-object support (people, vehicles, pets) |
| Zoom Range for Tracking | Up to 4x zoom with stable tracking performance |
| Face Tracking | Register up to three individuals for automatic priority |
| Screen Brightness | 1,000 nits OLED, 100% P3 color gamut, 556×314 resolution |
ActiveTrack 7.0 represents a major overhaul. Dynamic framing mode positions tracked subjects using golden ratio or rule of thirds. Face auto-detect mode follows the closest face to center when recording begins. Subject lock tracking taps a detected face for continuous autofocus with color-coded indicators.
The 2-inch OLED touchscreen now reaches 1,000 nits brightness (up from 700 nits) with vibrant 100% P3 color gamut coverage. Two new buttons below it: a dedicated zoom toggle for quick 1x to 2x switching, and a fully customizable control for capture, gimbal reset, or fill light. The new 5D analog joystick offers proportional gimbal speed based on pressure.
Storage That Changes the Game: 107GB Built-In
Built-in storage was the game-changer everyone wanted. The Pocket 4 delivers 107GB of built-in capacity, eliminating dependency on memory cards for extended shooting. MicroSD cards up to 1TB expand capacity when needed. USB 3.1 connectivity enables wired transfer at 800MB/s, streaming an hour of 4K/60fps footage to a computer in seconds.
Wi-Fi 6 supports wireless transfer at 90MB/s to the DJI Mimo app, crucial for mobile workflows. DisplayPort output now supports 4K/60fps live streaming, making the Pocket 4 viable for broadcast setups. Built-in timecode with less than one frame drift per 8 hours enables reliable multi-camera synchronization in post-production.
Will the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Kill the Vlogging Competition?
The Pocket 4 adds film tones including CC Film, NC Film, Pastel, Warm Tone, Movie, and Retro straight in-camera. Beautify functions adjust skin smoothness and tone. SpinShot mode enables 180-degree roll for dramatic spinning shots. Motionlapse supports up to four position waypoints. Slow shutter video allows shutter speeds down to 1/4 second for motion-blur trailing-light effects.
At 190.5 grams and 144.2 x 44.4 x 33.5mm, the camera remains pocket-sized but slightly heavier than the 179g Pocket 3. Battery delivers 240 minutes of 1080p/24fps recording with screen off. The optional Battery Handle extends runtime 62 percent and adds USB 3.1 for external audio and fast data transfer.
