DJI has officially launched its Osmo Pocket 4P handheld gimbal camera across the UK, Europe, Canada, and Australia, following its Asian launch earlier this year. It still isn’t coming to the U.S., though.
Previously unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival in May, the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P is an upgraded version of the Osmo Pocket 4 released earlier this year, which itself is a successor to 2023’s Osmo Pocket 3. The Pocket 3 has become a favourite tool among content creators, with the 4 and 4P intended to build upon its legacy.
However, the Osmo Pocket 4P differentiates itself by having a more professional audience in mind. While it can still be used by creators who focus on making videos for social media, DJI has designed the Pocket 4P with features that specifically appeal to filmmakers and cinematographers.
The Osmo Pocket 4P’s most obvious distinguishing feature is its dual lenses. Its main lens is a one-inch CMOS sensor which has 17 stops of dynamic range — an increase from the 14 stops on the Pocket 4 — while the other is a 60-millimetre telephoto lens suitable for portrait shots. Boasting a maximum resolution of 4K at 240fps, the Pocket 4P also debuts DJI’s new 10-bit D-log two-colour profile. The company states that this profile is capable of capturing over one billion colours, giving filmmakers more options and flexibility when it comes to colour grading in post-production.

The Pocket 4P is compatible with the Osmo FrameTap remote as well. Included in the 4P’s Vlog Combo bundle, the FrameTap allows users to monitor and control the camera from a distance.

DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4P will come in both Black and Pearl White colourways, with the latter to arrive at a later date. However, neither colour will be arriving in the U.S. for the foreseeable future.
Sadly, the Osmo Pocket 4P doesn’t have a U.S. release date, as DJI is still awaiting authorisation to launch from the U.S. government. DJI’s U.S. business has been severely impeded by the government’s hostility toward the company, which has prevented it from bringing its products to the country. The U.S. has therefore been left out of all of DJI’s most recent global launches, including the Mic 3, Osmo Mobile 8 phone gimbal, and Avata 360 drone.
As such, there’s no official U.S. pricing for the Osmo Pocket 4P. However, the official UK pricing places it at £529 (approximately $706) for the Standard Combo bundle, and £605 (approximately $807) for the Vlog Combo. In comparison, the Osmo Pocket 4 Standard Combo costs £445 (approximately $594), with the Vlog Combo priced at £548 (approximately $731).
