DJI Osmo Pocket 4vsDJI Osmo Pocket 4P: Which to Buy

These two pocket gimbals share the same 1-inch wide sensor, 4K capture, 180 Mbps bitrate, 37 MP photos and 2-inch flip screen. The Pocket 4P adds a second medium-tele camera and much longer zoom reach, but it is heavier and bulkier. The Pocket 4 stays smaller and runs longer per charge.

Video: who gets the slow motion

Both cameras top out at 4K and record HEVC at the same 180 Mbps. The difference is frame rate. The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 reaches 240 fps at 4K, but only in slow motion — normal video does not go there. The Pocket 4P also hits 240 fps, but only in Slow Motion mode at 4K or 1080p, with normal video capped at 60 fps.

For a buyer, that means the Pocket 4 is the one to pick if you shoot a lot of slow-motion action and want the highest frame rate available at full resolution. Neither camera is a high-frame-rate workhorse for everyday footage, so treat 240 fps as a specialty mode on both.

Video: who gets the slow motion

What is the problem?

Zoom and reach

The Pocket 4P carries two cameras: a 1-inch wide-angle and a 1/1.28-inch med-tele. Its digital zoom reaches 12x, versus 4x on the Pocket 4. That extra reach is the Pocket 4P's headline trick — it lets you punch in on distant subjects without moving closer, which matters for concerts, wildlife or events where you cannot reposition.

The catch: slow motion and timelapse on the Pocket 4P disable digital zoom, so you are limited to the optical focal lengths in those modes. The Pocket 4's more modest 4x keeps things simple, and its 94° field of view gives a wide, natural framing from a 20 mm-equivalent lens. If reach drives your purchase, the 4P wins clearly.

Zoom and reach

What is the problem?

Size, weight and battery

The Pocket 4 is meaningfully smaller and lighter: 190.5 g versus 230 g, and roughly 19 mm shorter. The width difference is bigger still — 44.4 mm against 63.3 mm — so the 4P is noticeably chunkier in a pocket or hand. If you carry the camera all day, that gap shows up.

Battery life favors the Pocket 4 too. DJI claims 240 minutes at 1080p/24 with Wi-Fi and screen off, against 210 minutes for the 4P under the same conditions. Both figures are best-case, but the 40-minute spread is real and the smaller camera also sneaks in a little more built-in storage, 107 GB versus 103 GB. Neither battery is user-swappable.

What is the problem?

Which is best for sports and action?

Neither camera is rugged. No waterproof rating is stated for the bare Pocket 4, no housing is listed for it, and the 4P's durability specs are unpublished. So do not plan on shooting in rain or underwater with either without third-party protection you verify yourself.

For fast action in dry conditions, the choice splits. The Pocket 4 gives you 4K/240 fps slow motion in a lighter package you can hold longer. The Pocket 4P gives you the reach to frame athletes from a distance. If your sport happens close and you want slow-mo, take the Pocket 4; if you are stuck in the stands, take the 4P.

Stabilization and controls

Both use a three-axis mechanical gimbal that stabilizes footage in camera while recording, which is the whole point of this line. Neither offers horizon lock, so the roll axis has limits and you should not expect perfectly level footage through aggressive tilts.

The screen situation is identical in practice: a single 2-inch flip touchscreen at 1,000 nits serves as both front and rear display, and there is no dedicated front screen on either. That bright panel is usable outdoors, and flipping it toward you works for vlogging on both cameras.

The Verdict

Buy the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 if you want the lighter, longer-running camera with 4K slow motion and a lower price. Buy the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P if its second tele camera and 12x zoom matter more than weight and battery life. Skip both if you need waterproofing or horizon lock. Wait for the 4P's price and release date to be published before committing.

FAQ

Does the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P cost more than the Pocket 4?

No price has been published for the Pocket 4P yet. The Pocket 4 launched at $560, so wait for official pricing before deciding on value.

Do both cameras have a front screen for vlogging?

No. Neither has a dedicated front screen. Each uses a single 2-inch flip touchscreen that rotates to face you.

Can I use an external microphone with the Pocket 4P?

That is not stated. Only the Pocket 4 confirms direct pairing with DJI Mic transmitters without an adapter.

Do the Pocket 4 and Pocket 4P shoot 10-bit log video?

The Pocket 4 does, with 10-bit color and a log profile. Neither spec is published for the Pocket 4P, so treat it as unknown rather than absent.

Is the battery removable on either camera?

No. The Pocket 4's battery is internal and DJI does not list it as user-swappable; the 4P's battery details are unpublished.
