DJI Osmo Pocket 4P
The zoom flagship2026

DJI Osmo Pocket 4P

4.8

The Pocket 4 with a second lens grafted on. A 1-inch stacked wide sensor pairs with a 60mm-equivalent telephoto for true 3x optical zoom (up to 12x hybrid), while keeping the same 4K/240fps slow motion and 1,000-nit rotatable OLED as the standard Pocket 4. Note: DJI launched it in the UK, EU, Canada and Australia in July 2026 but has not brought it to the US — units sold there are import/third-party listings.

Best features

  • Dual-lens system with true 3x optical zoom (12x hybrid)
  • 1-inch stacked sensor with 17 stops of dynamic range
  • Same 4K/240fps slow motion + 10-bit D-Log 2

Weakest points

  • Not officially sold in the US (global/import only)
  • Heaviest Pocket yet at 230g

Editor's Choice
DJI Osmo Pocket 4
The new flagship2026

DJI Osmo Pocket 4

5.0

The most advanced Pocket yet. A new 37MP 1-inch sensor, a brighter 2-inch rotatable OLED and 4K/240fps slow motion push image quality and battery life beyond the Pocket 3, while keeping the same one-handed magic. Note: DJI has not yet officially launched it in the US (FCC authorization pending) — US units are currently import/third-party listings, priced well above DJI's global list price.

Best features

  • New 37MP 1-inch sensor with cleaner low light
  • 2-inch rotatable OLED, now 1,000-nit bright
  • 4K/240fps slow motion + True 10-bit D-Log

Weakest points

  • Import-only — not yet officially sold in the US
  • Heaviest of the family

DJI Osmo Pocket 3
The flagship2023

DJI Osmo Pocket 3

4.9

A 1-inch sensor, a rotating 2-inch OLED touchscreen and 4K/120fps make the Pocket 3 the most capable pocket gimbal DJI has ever shipped. It is the default recommendation for almost everyone.

Best features

  • 1-inch CMOS sensor for low-light clarity
  • 2-inch rotatable OLED touchscreen
  • 4K/120fps + 10-bit D-Log M

Weakest points

  • Second-heaviest in the lineup
  • No optical zoom

DJI Pocket 2
The all-rounder2020

DJI Pocket 2

4.5

A refined 1/1.7-inch 64MP sensor, richer four-microphone audio and 8x zoom in a featherweight body. Still a superb everyday vlogging companion at a friendlier price.

Best features

  • 64MP photos with 1/1.7-inch sensor
  • Four-mic directional audio
  • 8x zoom & lightest body

Weakest points

  • Small non-tilting screen
  • No 10-bit / D-Log

DJI Osmo Pocket
The original2018

DJI Osmo Pocket

3.9

The camera that started the category. A tiny 1/2.3-inch sensor and a pioneering three-axis gimbal in a body barely larger than a chocolate bar. Best treated as a budget entry point.

Best features

  • Pocketable pioneer of the category
  • Smooth three-axis mechanical gimbal
  • Simple, reliable 4K/60fps

Weakest points

  • Tiny 1/2.3-inch sensor
  • No built-in Wi-Fi/Bluetooth (needs optional module)
