DJI Osmo Pocket 4P, Now Official
DJI has officially launched the Osmo Pocket 4P in the Philippines, giving vloggers, filmmakers, and everyday users a powerful new pocket‑sized camera that punches well above its size.

Positioned as a more advanced sibling to the Osmo Pocket 4, the Pocket 4P introduces a dual‑lens system, a new 1‑inch CMOS sensor with up to 17 stops of dynamic range, and support for 10‑bit D‑Log 2 color, all packed into a handheld gimbal that weighs just around 230 grams. For the Philippine market, he Vlog Combo comes in at PhP42,290, making it a compelling option for creators looking for a compact but cinema‑leaning camera solution. If you want a a more affordable option, you can buy the Standard package for PhP37,790. With these prices, DJI is easily positioning Pocket 4P as a premium yet still attainable upgrade over the Pocket 4 for serious content creators in the country.
Dual-Camera Design
At the heart of the Osmo Pocket 4P is its dual‑camera design, which combines a 20mm‑equivalent wide‑angle lens with an all‑new 1‑inch CMOS sensor and a 60mm‑equivalent medium‑telephoto lens with a bright f/1.8 aperture. The wide lens is tuned for landscapes, travel shots, and everyday vlog content, while the 60mm med‑tele lens is tailored for portraits, tight framing, and more cinematic perspectives that compress the background and make subjects stand out.

A dedicated physical zoom button lets users quickly switch between focal lengths, covering a practical range similar to common professional lenses like 24–70mm, while also allowing up to 12x zoom thanks to a combination of optical and digital magnification. This dual‑lens approach helps the Pocket 4P adapt to more shooting scenarios than the single‑lens Pocket 4, without forcing creators to carry multiple cameras or lenses.
1‑inch sensor with LOFIC technology
One of the headline upgrades is the new 1‑inch sensor with LOFIC technology, enabling a claimed 17 stops of dynamic range, which is significantly higher than the 14 stops on the Pocket 4. In practical terms, this means the Pocket 4P can preserve more detail in both highlights and shadows, especially in challenging lighting such as backlit scenes, neon‑lit cityscapes, and high‑contrast environments common in Philippine outdoor shoots.

The camera is designed to keep faces bright and natural while maintaining sky detail and rich color in the background, making it ideal for travel vlogs, city B‑roll, and documentary‑style storytelling around Metro Manila and beyond. For users who frequently shoot at golden hour, blue hour, or in mixed lighting indoors, the extra dynamic range translates to more flexibility in grading and fewer blown‑out or muddy areas in the frame.
The Osmo Pocket 4P also leans heavily into professional‑style color workflows through its 10‑bit D‑Log 2 profile. This log profile is engineered to fully exploit the 17‑stop dynamic range, recording more information in the highlights and shadows and allowing colorists to push footage further in post without banding or harsh clipping.

DJI notes that D‑Log 2 brings over 1 billion colors and exposure latitude that can rival cinema‑oriented log curves, and they even provide LUTs such as dlog2_to_rec709 and dlog2_to_logc4 to integrate more easily into existing editing pipelines. For Filipino creators who are already working with log footage from mirrorless or cinema cameras, being able to grade Pocket 4P footage alongside bigger cameras makes it a strong B‑cam or gimbal cam option.
Perfect for Slow Motion-heavy contents
On the video side, the Pocket 4P supports up to 4K/240fps slow motion, making it one of the few consumer‑oriented cameras to offer cinema‑level slow‑motion capture in such a compact form factor. This is particularly attractive for creators who want to capture dynamic movement (whether it’s street scenes in Makati, festival performances, or sports and travel content) with dramatic slow‑motion effects.

A 3‑axis mechanical gimbal paired with ActiveTrack 8.0 helps keep footage stable and subjects locked in, even when shooting at medium‑telephoto focal lengths or up to 12x zoom. Combined with built‑in camera movements and film‑style tone presets, it allows beginners and seasoned shooters alike to produce smooth, cinematic clips with minimal setup.
Beyond Video, it’s the best gimbal camera to take photos
Beyond video, the Pocket 4P is also designed as a capable stills camera, offering up to 37‑megapixel photos and a 4K Live Photo mode that captures short motion clips alongside high‑resolution images. DJI’s portrait color science is tuned to render skin tones naturally without overly whitening or shifting colors, with features like face and eye priority autofocus and auto white balance optimized for human subjects. There is also a magnetic fill light accessory to enhance night portraits and backlit selfies, offering adjustable brightness and color temperature and following the gimbal’s movement. These features make the Pocket 4P a versatile hybrid tool for users who want both strong video and photo capabilities in a single device.
For storage and workflow, the Pocket 4P includes 103GB of built‑in storage with high‑speed transfer up to 800MB/s over USB 3.1 and Wi‑Fi 6, along with support for microSD expansion up to 1TB. This built‑in capacity can accommodate substantial 4K shooting sessions, reducing the need to rely solely on external cards during fast‑paced shoots. The camera is powered by a 1,545mAh battery, which DJI claims can reach 80 percent charge in around 18 minutes and fully charge in about 32 minutes when using a suitable charger, while delivering up to around 200–240 minutes of recording at lower resolutions and frame rates. For Philippine users who often shoot on the go or in hot, humid environments, this balance of capacity and quick charging helps keep downtime low.
Is this the best gimbal camera for prosumers?
Given its feature set, the Osmo Pocket 4P arrives in the Philippines as a strong contender for vloggers, travel creators, and professionals who want cinema‑leaning quality in a compact, stabilized form factor.
The PhP42,290 Vlog Combo pricing aim to keep it competitive against rival products such as Insta360’s dual‑camera offerings, especially when you factor in its 17‑stop dynamic range, 10‑bit D‑Log 2, dual lenses, and robust gimbal stabilization. For existing Pocket 3 or Pocket 4 users, the Pocket 4P presents itself as the model to choose when you need higher‑end cinematic quality, med‑tele portraits, and a more future‑proof color pipeline, while the Pocket 4 remains the more cost‑effective “newer is better” option for those with tighter budgets.
