The short answer

The DJI Osmo Pocket 4P is the first Pocket with two cameras in it. DJI named it the 4P. Half the internet calls it the Osmo Pocket 4 Pro. Same camera, and nobody at DJI seems bothered, so neither are we.

It launched on 30 July 2026 everywhere except the United States. Here it's $859 for the Standard Combo and $969 for the Vlog Combo.

You're paying $210 over the regular Osmo Pocket 4 for one thing: a second camera with a 60mm lens. Everything else on the spec sheet is the same or a little worse. So there's really only one question here.

Will you actually use 60mm?

  • Pocket 4, $649. You shoot wide, you walk all day, you want the small one.
  • Pocket 4P, $859. You point a camera at people's faces, or at products, or you grade your footage afterwards.
  • Pocket 4P Vlog Combo, $969. Same camera, and you work alone without a wireless mic.

Americans can't buy this one. You can.

DJI shipped the 4P worldwide on 30 July and skipped exactly one country. The FCC put DJI on its Covered List back in December, which blocked DJI from importing drones and drone parts, and the Pocket 4 and 4P got caught in the same net.

Americans aren't going without, exactly. They're buying grey-market units off marketplace sellers at whatever those sellers feel like charging that week. What they don't get is a warranty anyone will honour, or somewhere to send it when the gimbal starts making a noise.

None of which is your problem. The 4P is officially distributed in Canada, DJI sets the price in Canadian dollars, and warranty work goes through the normal channel. Our $859 and $969 are DJI's Canadian list prices, so there's no import markup buried in there.

Demand has been strong since launch and we're holding a lot of reservations on both combos. Stock keeps arriving and we fill orders in the sequence they came in, so preorder early and you're further up the line.

The second lens is the whole product

The Pocket 4 has one camera. A 1-inch sensor behind a 20mm f/2.0 lens. It's very good, and for a lot of people it's the only camera they need.

The 4P keeps that lens and puts a second one next to it: a 1/1.28-inch sensor behind a 60mm f/1.8.

60mm isn't zoom in the phone sense. It's the focal length portrait photographers have been using for about a century. It stops flattening faces, and it drops the background out of focus so your subject isn't fighting the wall behind them. If you've ever filmed an interview on your phone and thought the person looked a bit off without being able to say why, that's the fix.

Zoom that is truly usable

The 4P gives you 3x optical, then pushes to 12x for video and 9x for stills. The Pocket 4 is digital only and runs out at 4x video, 2x stills. That's the difference between reaching across a room and cropping until everything turns to mush.

Tracking follows the lens, too. DJI rates ActiveTrack 8.0 on the 4P all the way to 12x, against 4x on the Pocket 4, and it'll hold up to eight people in frame at once.

Switching is a button on the body, not a menu. One press goes to 3x, two presses to 6x, hold it and it ramps.

True zoom, but not quite

This bit comes from our own customers rather than a spec sheet, and we'd rather you heard it from us than found out on a shoot.

Hold the zoom button and ramp continuously from wide across to the 60mm, and the picture visibly shifts at the moment the camera hands off. Framing jumps a touch. Sometimes there's a wobble for a frame or two. We've had people call us convinced their unit was faulty. It isn't.

That's what happens when a camera swaps between two different focal lengths. A 20mm ultra-wide and a 60mm telephoto see completely different angles of view, so the two cameras are never framing quite the same thing. At the moment of the handoff, the content in the frame has to shift to match, and that shift is what you're seeing. The software lines them up as closely as it can. It can't turn two different fields of view into one identical picture.

Your phone does exactly the same thing, incidentally. Zoom slowly through the range on a recent iPhone while shooting video and you'll catch the same hitch at the crossover. Nobody complains because nobody expects a phone to be a zoom lens.

So don't expect it here either. Use the zoom button as a cut, the way you'd swap a prime between takes: press to 3x, press to 6x, roll. If you genuinely need a zoom move inside one shot, stay on one camera and use its digital zoom. You'll trade some resolution for a clean ramp, which is usually the right trade.

Buy this expecting two very good primes in one body and it'll make you happy for years. Buy it expecting a cinema zoom and you'll be irritated by Thursday.

What a lab actually measured

DJI advertises "up to 17 stops of dynamic range" on the wide camera, thanks to a new 1-inch sensor using LOFIC. Marketing numbers usually deserve a raised eyebrow. This one mostly survived contact with a test chart, which honestly surprised us.

CineD put the camera on a Xyla21 chart with IMATEST, shooting 10-bit 4K 25p in D-Log 2 at the wide camera's native ISO of 1600.

Measured Wide, 20mm Med-tele, 60mm
Dynamic range at SNR = 2 16 stops 11.6 stops
Dynamic range at SNR = 1 17.2 stops not published
Exposure latitude 10 stops, edging toward 11 8 stops
Rolling shutter 11 ms 9.4 ms
Native ISO 1600 400
Log profile D-Log 2, 10-bit D-Log

CineD called that 16-stop waveform the best they'd recorded since they started testing cameras. DJI's 17 holds up at SNR = 1. We don't get to write that sentence about marketing claims very often.

The number we'd actually pay attention to is exposure latitude, and it's the sober one. Latitude is how badly you can miss and still rescue it in the grade. CineD got 10 stops with a bit of room toward 11, and the ceiling wasn't the sensor. It was the 10-bit codec, which starts posterising if you push past that. An ARRI Alexa 35 shooting 13-bit ARRIRAW manages 12.

An Alexa 35 costs more to rent for a day than this camera costs to own. It's not a fair fight and we're not pretending it is. Two stops is still a startling gap to close for $859.

Expose it properly and it punches absurdly above its price. Expose it lazily and the 10-bit ceiling will introduce itself.

The warts

It's two cameras, and they don't match

The wide runs the new 1-inch LOFIC sensor at native ISO 1600 with 10-bit D-Log 2. The tele runs a 1/1.28-inch sensor at native ISO 400 with ordinary D-Log. D-Log 2 and that 17-stop figure are wide-only, at 1x.

So pressing the zoom button mid-shot isn't zooming, it's cutting to a different camera with a different noise floor and a different colour pipeline. Grade wide and tele clips as two sources. In a dark room, stay wide. It's also the same fact that explains the judder further up.

The Pro model is heavier and runs shorter

Osmo Pocket 4 Osmo Pocket 4P
Weight 190.5 g 230 g
Body width 44.4 mm 63.3 mm
Rated operating time 240 min 210 min

21% heavier, 43% wider, half an hour less runtime. The width is where the second lens lives, and it's the difference between a camera that disappears into a jacket pocket and one that wants its own pouch.

If your day is all-day handheld travel on one focal length, the Pocket 4 is the better tool and it's $210 cheaper.

If runtime is the sticking point on either body, the Osmo Pocket 4 Battery Handle sorts it out without a power bank rattling around in your pocket.

Vertical stops at 3K

Both cameras shoot native vertical at 3K in 9:16, which is 1728 x 3072, up to 60fps. There's no 4K vertical mode on either body. For Reels, Shorts and TikTok that's a non-issue, since 3K is already more than any of those platforms will hand back to a viewer. It only bites if you were planning to shoot vertical and crop inside it later.

Orientation locks once recording starts, so the camera won't flip on you halfway through a take.

The memory card you don't have to buy

Both the Pocket 4 and the 4P ship with storage built in. 103 GB on the 4P, 107 GB on the Pocket 4, and either one takes a microSD up to 1 TB on top. Open the box, charge it, shoot. No card, no second trip, no discovering at the venue that you've brought an expensive paperweight.

That used to be a nice convenience. This year it's money.

Card prices have gone vertical in 2026 because AI data centres are eating the world's NAND supply. Memory cards and flash drives are up a median of 124% year over year. A SanDisk Extreme 128 GB microSDXC that was about $17 USD last October is pushing $40. Nobody expects relief until late 2027, when new fab capacity comes online.

Which changes one specific piece of shopping advice. If you're eyeing a cheap used Osmo Pocket 3 to save a few hundred, add a card to its price before you compare, because the Pocket 3 has no internal storage at all. It doesn't record anything until you buy one, and what you're buying now costs roughly double what it did a year ago. That gap used to be rounding error. It isn't any more.

Standard Combo or Vlog Combo

Identical camera in both boxes. The $110 is all accessories.

The Standard Combo. Camera, fill light, threaded handle, pouch. Everything the Vlog Combo adds sits on top of this. Image: DJI
Item Standard, $859 Vlog, $969
Osmo Pocket 4P camera Yes Yes
Osmo Pocket 4 Fill Light Yes Yes
Handle with 1/4"-20 thread Yes Yes
USB-C to USB-C PD cable Yes Yes
Portable carrying pouch Yes Yes
DJI Mic Mini 2 transmitter and mounts No Yes
Osmo FrameTap remote No Yes
Osmo Mini Tripod No Yes
Larger carrying bag No Yes

A Mic Mini transmitter on its own eats most of that $110, so the FrameTap, the tripod and the bag turn up for near enough nothing. No wireless mic yet? Take the Vlog Combo. Already running a DJI Mic or a Rode kit? Take the Standard and put the $110 toward the card you now can't avoid buying anyway.

Worth knowing either way: compatible DJI transmitters pair straight to the camera with nothing bolted to the body, and with transmitters connected it records four channels, two from the transmitters plus its own built-in stereo.

Closest focus dropping from 0.2 m to 0.09 m is the difference between filming a product and giving up on filming a product. Stills going from 9.4 MP on the Pocket 3 to about 37 MP on both current bodies is a generational jump nobody mentions because everyone's busy talking about video. And that empty storage row on the Pocket 3 costs real money now.

Frequently asked questions

Is the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P available in Canada?

Yes. It launched here on 30 July 2026 and is officially distributed in Canada. Demand has been strong and we're holding a lot of reservations on both combos, so supply is tight and we fill orders in the sequence they came in. Preorder early to get further up the line.

How much does the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P cost in Canada?

$859 for the Standard Combo and $969 for the Vlog Combo. Those are DJI's Canadian list prices, not an importer's markup.

Is the Pocket 4P the same thing as the Osmo Pocket 4 Pro?

Yes, same camera. DJI's official name is Osmo Pocket 4P, where the P stands for Pro, same convention as the Osmo Mobile 8P. Reviews, forums and search results use both names, so search whichever one you typed first.

What's the difference between the Osmo Pocket 4P and the Osmo Pocket 4?

The 4P adds a second camera, a 1/1.28-inch sensor behind a 60mm f/1.8 lens, which gives you 3x optical zoom extending to 12x. Its wide camera also uses a new 1-inch LOFIC sensor rated to 17 stops against 14 on the Pocket 4, and focuses to 0.09 m against 0.2 m. Against that, the 4P is heavier at 230 g versus 190.5 g, rated for 210 minutes versus 240, and carries 103 GB of built-in storage versus 107 GB.

Should I buy the Standard Combo or the Vlog Combo?

Same camera in both. The Vlog Combo adds a DJI Mic Mini 2 transmitter with mounts, the Osmo FrameTap remote, a mini tripod and a bigger bag for $110. The mic alone accounts for most of that, so if you don't already own a wireless mic the Vlog Combo is the better buy. If you do, take the Standard.

Why isn't the Osmo Pocket 4P sold in the United States?

The FCC added DJI to its Covered List in December, which blocked DJI from importing drones and drone parts, and the Pocket 4 and 4P ended up outside official US distribution as a result. US buyers are stuck with third-party marketplace sellers and don't get the warranty or service support that comes with an officially distributed unit.

Why does the picture jump when I zoom between the two lenses?

Because the camera is switching between two different focal lengths. A 20mm ultra-wide and a 60mm telephoto see very different angles of view, so at the handoff the content in the frame has to shift to match up, and you see that as a small jump or wobble. It's normal and it isn't a fault. Multi-camera phones including recent iPhones do the same thing at their crossover point. Treat the zoom button as a cut between focal lengths rather than a smooth zoom move, and if you need a zoom inside a single shot, stay on one lens and use its digital zoom.

Does the Osmo Pocket 4P need a memory card?

No. It has 103 GB built in and records straight out of the box. A microSD up to 1 TB is optional if you want more room. That matters more than usual in 2026, because card prices are up roughly 124% year over year on the back of AI-driven NAND shortages. The older Osmo Pocket 3 has no internal storage and won't record anything until you buy a card.

Does the Pocket 4P shoot D-Log 2 on both lenses?

No. D-Log 2 and the 17-stop figure apply to the wide 20mm camera at 1x only. The 60mm records standard D-Log. The two also run different native ISOs, 1600 on the wide and 400 on the tele.

Can the Osmo Pocket 4P record 4K vertical video?

No. Native vertical runs at 3K in 9:16, specifically 1728 x 3072, up to 60fps. 4K is 16:9 only.

Is the Osmo Pocket 4P waterproof?

No. Nothing in the Osmo Pocket line is waterproof or weather sealed, and the microSD and USB-C ports are exposed. If you need water resistance, look at the Osmo Action line instead.

Does the Osmo Pocket 4P overheat?

DJI publishes thermal guidance for the handheld Osmo line generally, and long unbroken recording in direct sun is the situation owners raise most often across the series. We don't have verified long-run thermal test data specific to the 4P and we're not going to invent any. If continuous record time is what decides this purchase for you, come and run one in the showroom against the way you actually shoot.

Will my Pocket 3 accessories fit the Pocket 4P?

Plenty will, particularly through the Expansion Adapter, which also opens up 67mm filter threads. The Tilta Ultimate Filter Kit is built for the Pocket 3 and 4 series. The 4P body is 63.3 mm wide against 44.4 mm on the Pocket 4 though, so check cages and clamps specifically rather than assuming.

When is the Pearl White Osmo Pocket 4P available in Canada?

DJI has confirmed two colours but says Pearl White wasn't available at launch, and hasn't given dealers a date. Classic Black is what ships. If white is what you want, tell us and we'll flag you when allocation opens rather than take an order we can't put a date on.

Buying the Pocket 4P in Canada

We're an authorized DJI dealer with a showroom on East Cordova in Vancouver, and we ship Canada-wide. Everything carries the standard Canadian manufacturer warranty, which is the entire difference between buying here and buying a grey-market box off a marketplace listing.

Still torn? Come in and shoot two minutes on each. Whether you'll use 60mm is a question your hands answer faster than any spec sheet does, this one included.
