A month after its introduction at the Cannes Film Festival, DJI officially introduced the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P in China. This begins the market availability of the competitor of the Insta360 Luna Ultra and happens after the DJI sued Insta360 over patents.
DJI Osmo Pocket 4P
The DJI Osmo Pocket 4P is a new pocket gimbal camera that features a 1-inch f/2.0 main sensor with LOFIC technology and an equivalent focal length of 20mm.
What makes it better than the Osmo Pocket 4, though, is its secondary 1/1.28-inch sensor that offers 3x zoom or a 60mm equivalent focal length with an f/1.8 aperture. The telephoto lens offers 3x optical zoom and up to 12x digital zoom.
As far as shooting goes, the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P can record up to 4K resolution at 60fps or up to 4K@240 slow-motion footage. It also supports 10-bit video recording and D-Log2 color. If you want to take photos, you can use it to capture 37MP photos, and it includes Panorama mode, identical to Osmo Pocket 4.
The Osmo Pocket 4P has a 3-axis mechanical gimbal with intelligent subject tracking.
The new gimbal camera is equipped with a 2-inch rotating touchscreen display that reaches up to 1000nits of peak brightness. The Osmo Pocket 4P also features 3 built-in microphones and comes with 103GB of internal storage, and is expandable up to 1TB via a microSD card.
The DJI Osmo Pocket 4P is larger than the Osmo Pocket 4, with the former standing at 159.5mm long and 63.3mm wide. It is also heavier at 230g compared to the 190.5g of the Osmo Pocket 4.
The two gimbal cameras, though, share the same 1545mAh battery, which is said to require 18 minutes to charge up to 80% from 0%. Meanwhile, a full charge is said to take up to 32 minutes. The gimbal camera also supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth LE 5.4.
