DJI has all but confirmed that the Osmo Pocket 4 will be unveiled later this month, and we can’t wait.
A launch event is scheduled for April 16 at 12PM GMT. The company’s teasers also suggest this will be a global release, rather than a China-only debut.
The Osmo Pocket 4 has been a long time coming. Early references to the device date back to mid-2025.
There were multiple sightings of test units surfacing in the months that followed. It’s expected to replace the popular Osmo Pocket 3. That camera helped cement DJI’s position in the compact vlogging camera space.
While DJI hasn’t shared full specifications yet, early details point to a meaningful upgrade rather than a minor refresh.
The Osmo Pocket 4 is expected to feature improved camera hardware. In addition, it should have better subject tracking and built-in storage, which could make it a more self-contained option for creators on the go.
There have also been rumours of a more advanced “Pro” variant, though DJI has yet to acknowledge its existence. For now, the company is keeping the focus firmly on the standard Osmo Pocket 4 ahead of its official reveal.
If the leaks hold up, pricing is expected to land at around $499 in the US, putting it in line with its predecessor. That would position it as a competitive option for vloggers. It will appeal to those looking for a compact, stabilised camera without stepping up to larger mirrorless setups.
Reaction online has been quick, and in some cases, already looking ahead. Some users welcomed the long-awaited announcement but noted that attention may soon shift to a rumoured Pro version. Others pointed to teaser imagery that might hint at a dual-lens design, fuelling speculation that DJI could expand the Pocket range further.
There’s also a knock-on effect for the current model. Several users mentioned snapping up discounted Pocket 3 bundles, while others are now tempted to buy one outright or hold off in anticipation of price drops once the new model lands.
With just days to go before the announcement, the Osmo Pocket 4 looks set to build on DJI’s existing formula. However, there are enough upgrades to keep it relevant in an increasingly crowded creator market.
