DJI has officially introduced its latest innovation, the Osmo Pocket 4P, to the UK market. This advanced device, designed to rival competitors like Insta360's Luna Ultra, is now available for purchase, bringing with it a suite of enhanced features.
A significant improvement in the Osmo Pocket 4P is its dual-camera system. It incorporates an updated 20mm equivalent wide-angle lens, equipped with a 1-inch CMOS sensor and an f/2.0 aperture. Additionally, DJI has integrated a new 60mm telephoto lens with an f/1.8 aperture. This configuration allows for 3x optical zoom and up to 12x digital zoom, catering to a wide array of photographic needs, from expansive landscapes to detailed portraiture with natural background blur. The device boasts an impressive 17 stops of dynamic range and supports the new 10-bit D-Log 2 color profile, ensuring rich color capture for post-production flexibility. Video capabilities are also enhanced, with support for 4K recording at up to 240 frames per second, enabling stunning 8x slow-motion footage for dynamic scenes.
Weighing only 230g, the Pocket 4P maintains its portability while offering significant hardware upgrades. It retains DJI's signature three-axis mechanical gimbal for superior stabilization and features an improved ActiveTrack 8.0 system for precise subject tracking across various movements and zoom levels. Usability has been refined with features such as touchscreen rotation for instant recording and gesture controls for tracking and capturing moments. Users can also take 37MP still images or 4K Live Photos that include 1.5-second motion clips. Data transfer speeds have been boosted to 800MB/s via USB 3.1. Power management is efficient, with fast charging capable of reaching 80% battery in just 18 minutes, providing up to 210 minutes of shooting time on a full charge. The camera is fully compatible with DJI's extensive range of Osmo accessories, including various filters, a battery handle, fill light, wide-angle lens, mini tripod, and OsmoAudio microphones. Available in Black and Pearl White, the Osmo Pocket 4P Standard Combo is priced at £529, with a Vlog Combo offering additional accessories for £605.
