    – Starts at CNY 3,799 (~$562) in China; Vlog Set at CNY 4,299 (~$636)

    Finaly Here: The Osmo Pocket 4 Pro Arrives

    So the Osmo Pocket 4 Pro has finaly shown up after a real long wait. They shortened it to Osmo Pocket 4P and it was first teased back in mid-April before showing up at the Cannes Film Festival a month later. Even though we don’t know global release details yet DJI is now selling its first Pro-branded vlogging camera in China. The company has gone ahead and confirmed all the specs we were waiting for.

    Camera Sensor and Lens Upgrades

    The new camera keeps the same 1-inch style 20 mm and f/2.0 primary camera sensor from the Osmo Pocket 4 which is a improvement over the Osmo Pocket 3. This primary lens also boasts 17 levels of ultra-high dynamic range that surpasses what the Osmo Pocket 4 can do. Its pretty impressive how they managed to squeeze more performance out of the same sensor.

    Telephoto Camera and Video Features

    Arguably the biggest difference between the Osmo Pocket 4 and the Osmo Pocket 4P is the latter’s 3x telephoto camera. It packs an f/1.8 aperture with a 60 mm equivalent focal length and uses a smaller 1/1.28-inch optical format than the primary lens. The new telephoto camera delivers 100-25,600 ISO sensitivity in photography mode which increases to 100-51,200 for low-light videos. Plus it supports D-Log 2 colour and can capture slow-motion footage at 240 FPS and 4K.

    • Primary camera: 1-inch sensor, 20 mm, f/2.0, 17-level dynamic range
    • Telephoto camera: 3x zoom, 60 mm equivalent, f/1.8, 1/1.28-inch sensor
    • Video: 4K at 240 FPS slow-motion, D-Log 2 colour support
    • ISO range: 100-25,600 (photo), 100-51,200 (low-light video)

    Battery, Screen and Physical Changes

    Elsewhere the Osmo Pocket 4P keeps the same 1,545 mAh (11.95 Wh) battery as its non-Pro sibling along with a identical 2-inch and 1,000-nit touchscreen that outputs at 556 x 314 pixels. However the added telephoto camera and the three-axis gimbal make the Osmo Pocket 4P larger and heavier than the standard version. Specificly it is 20% heavier at 230 g while being 10% taller too. That might be a issue for people who loved the compact size of the previous model.

    Pricing and Availability Details

    The Osmo Pocket 4P starts at CNY 3,799 which is about $562 in China with a choice of Classic Black and Pearl White finishes. Alternatively DJI also sells a ‘Vlog Set’ with additional accessories for CNY 4,299 (around $636). For comparison the Osmo Pocket 4 starts at CNY 2,999 which is roughly $444 in the same market. So you are paying a premium for that telephoto lens and the Pro branding no doubt.

It features a pretty big 6.8-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1610 x 720 pixels, and it refreshes really smooth at 60 Hz. The screen gets pretty bright too, topping out at 850 nits.
