Image Quality and Lens

The Osmo Pocket 4P brings a much larger 1-inch main sensor that pulls in more light and detail than the 0.53-inch sensor on the HERO13 Black. It also features a wider f/2.0 aperture on its main lens compared to the f/2.5 glass on the GoPro, helping low-light performance.

For resolution and speed, the HERO13 Black fights back by shooting up to 5.3K video. It also handles fast-moving action better by pushing 4K footage up to 120 fps, whereas the DJI tops out at 60 fps for normal 4K recording.

Stabilization and Design

The Osmo Pocket 4P relies on a three-axis mechanical gimbal for smooth panning and walking shots. It weighs 230 g and has a taller, stick-like build that places a 2-inch flip touchscreen at your fingertips.

The HERO13 Black uses in-camera electronic stabilization with horizon lock. At 159 g with its battery and mounting fingers attached, it is significantly lighter and easier to mount to helmets or handlebars.
