New Osmo Pocket 4P camera: dual lens and stabilization in 230g

The Osmo Pocket 4P offers mechanical stabilization and a dual lens in a body weighing only 230 grams, designed for those who want cinematic quality without carrying extra gear. I just saw the launch note, and if you like filming on the move, this will blow your mind.

According to DJI and the press release provided, the Osmo Pocket 4P combines a 1-inch CMOS sensor and a second medium telephoto lens for portraits, capturing up to 37 MP and a 10-bit D-Log 2 color profile. This marks a clear proposal: bringing cinema features to an ultraportable camera.

What the Osmo Pocket 4P brings

Why does this dual lens matter for creators?

Because it goes from being a wide-shot camera to a versatile tool for close-ups and portraits. This matters if you do vlogs, reports, or commercial pieces where you need to quickly change the aesthetic without switching gear. Having 20 mm (f/2.0) and 60 mm (f/1.8) in the same body avoids lens mounting and saves time on set.

What key specs does it include?

The official info details: 1-inch CMOS sensor (equivalent to 20 mm, f/2.0), 60 mm f/1.8 telephoto with 3x optical zoom (up to 12x digital), photo capture up to 37 MP and 10-bit D-Log 2 profile. Additionally, it records 4K at 240 fps (8x slow motion) and offers 17 stops of dynamic range thanks to LOFIC technology.

This means more leeway for color correction and shots with treasure troves of detail in dark and bright areas.

Who benefits and how it changes workflows

Who should consider buying it?

If you are a journalist, videographer, content creator, or lifestyle influencer, the Osmo Pocket 4P may fit in your toolbox. It features native 3-axis stabilization and two key focal lengths, all in 230 g; this eliminates the need to carry heavy rigs for many types of shots.

How does it transform on-location production?

The combination of mechanical gimbal, ActiveTrack 8.0, and the dual lens means many shots that previously required lens changes or additional stabilizers can now be done directly with the Pocket 4P. This speeds up workflow and reduces gear logistics (cases, batteries, mounts).

How to start, controls, and checks

How to activate or select the dual lens?

The source does not specify exact steps to select the lens within the device or app. DJI has not published detailed menu instructions in the release; therefore, I cannot offer official step-by-step guidance. However, below are general recommended steps that usually apply to Osmo cameras (as a provisional guide).

• Turn on the camera and open the integrated touchscreen on the grip (if available).
• Open the official DJI app on your mobile device and connect the Pocket 4P via cable or Wi-Fi.
• In the app, look for Settings > Camera > Lens (or similar options) to switch between wide-angle and telephoto—if the option exists.
• If auto-selection is supported, test the optical zoom and check that ActiveTrack follows the subject while zooming (try with people and pets).
• Update the firmware if there is a notification (in the app or on screen) before critical shoots.

(Remember: these steps are indicative; consult the official DJI manual when available to confirm exact menu names and functions.)

How to verify that your unit works like the one shown?

Follow this list to confirm you have the capabilities described by DJI:

• The camera weighs approximately 230 g and responds with 3-axis stabilization.
• The sensor is 1 inch and you can capture photos up to 37 MP.
• The 10-bit D-Log 2 profile is present for color work.
• The unit records 4K at 240 fps and offers 3x optical zoom (up to 12x digital).
• ActiveTrack 8.0 works with tracking while zooming.
• The device supports accessories such as Black Mist and ND filters, OsmoAudio microphones, and battery grips.

If any point does not match, check the box, model label, and information on DJI’s official website or product manual.

If you want to optimize your workflow immediately: use the 10-bit D-Log 2 profile for shoots that will undergo color grading and test the camera at 4K 240 fps to capture clean slow motion with wide range.

Which accessories are relevant?

DJI mentions compatibility with Black Mist and ND filters, OsmoAudio series microphones, and battery grips—elements that make the Pocket 4P a practical modular system for on-location production.

How to know if the Creator Combo interests you?

If you will film a lot speaking to the camera (vlogs, interviews) or already plan to buy a microphone and extended battery, the Creator Combo is the most cost-effective option according to the note. If you already have wireless microphones and prioritize portability, the Standard Pack may be sufficient.

It should be added that the Osmo Pocket 4P comes in white and black, and DJI sets the starting price at €599; the option with accessories like the Vlog Combo starts at €689.

Final tips: update firmware, test ActiveTrack with trial shots, and record in D-Log 2 if you will do color grading. Micro tips: carry ND filters for outdoors and a battery grip for long shoots.

The reality is that the Osmo Pocket 4P opens the door to more polished filming without sacrificing mobility; if your work requires close-up shots with cinematic aesthetics, this camera deserves a try. Osmo Pocket 4P and ActiveTrack 8.0 are now part of the conversation about light yet powerful gear.
