The device offers 4K/120fps video recording and a 20mm equivalent lens width for wide-angle shots. Weighing just 155 grams, this compact camera stands out as an ideal choice for professional content creators.
2Advanced stabilization technology
The Osmo Pocket 4P features an upgraded version of DJI's 3-axis mechanical stabilization system. Thanks to RockSteady 3.0 technology, it enables vibration-free shooting even while walking or running. With its smart tracking mode, the device can automatically follow subjects using the ActiveTrack 6.0 algorithm for more precise focusing. The 1-inch touchscreen allows users to easily manage settings.
3Significant audio improvements
The new model comes with a 4-microphone audio system. Capable of 360-degree recording, it delivers clearer and more immersive sound through DJI Matrix Stereo technology. It offers both 3.5mm jack input and Bluetooth 5.2 support for wireless microphone connection. Enhanced wind noise reduction algorithms successfully cut wind noise by 70%.

Through the DJI Mimo app, users can instantly edit and share their footage. Expandable internal storage up to 256GB provides ample space for extended shooting sessions.
5Battery life and charging features
The 1660mAh battery offers up to 140 minutes of 4K recording. It supports 18W fast charging via USB-C PD 3.0. While full charge takes 90 minutes, a 30-minute charge enables 60 minutes of shooting. The magnetic cooling system prevents overheating during prolonged use.
