Michael Hemsworth — April 18, 2026 — Tech
The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 has made its debut as the brand's flagship camera unit that's engineered with a number of advancements to give it a micro-sized design with big capabilities. The unit features a one-inch CMOS sensor that's rated to capture 37MP still images and videos up to 4K/240fps with 14 stops of dynamic range alongside 10-bit D-Log mode shooting. The camera incorporates two-times lossless zoom at 4K resolution alongside four-times zoom at 1080p, while the three-axis stabilization is supported by the brand's ActiveTrack 7.0 technology.
The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 also features the Dynamic Framing and Spotlight Follow modes that support use with people, animals and vehicles alongside specific faces. The device also offers six additional film tone filters and is rounded out with a two-inch OLED touchscreen for monitoring performance directly from the camera.
