DJI’s next vlogging camera is already attracting attention ahead of its official market launch. The DJI Osmo Pocket 4P has appeared in numerous leaked images and already appears to be in the hands of the first influencers. While DJI has still not confirmed the exact release date, there are increasing indications that the launch is imminent. Particularly exciting are the expected 1-inch main camera, a telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and the positioning as the first “Pro” version of the popular Osmo Pocket series.
- Numerous leaked images show the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P in practical use
- First pro version of the Osmo Pocket series with improved camera equipment
- A 1-inch main camera and 3x optical zoom are expected
- Influencers are already testing the model before the official sales launch
DJI Osmo Pocket 4P to be the first true pro version of the series
With the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P, DJI is expanding its well-known pocket camera series with a Pro model for the first time. While the classic Osmo Pocket 4 (our test) is particularly popular for compact vlogs, travel and social media content, the new 4P is intended to be much more geared towards more demanding creators and professional mobile video recordings.
DJI recently introduced the regular Osmo Pocket 4, which replaces the Osmo Pocket 3 outside the USA. Now the more powerful version, the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P, is apparently following. The model has so far only been officially teased in China, which already points to a global launch in the near future. It is interesting to note that the camera could possibly appear under a different brand in the USA – an unusual step that could indicate regulatory or strategic reasons.

The leaked photos show the camera not only in close-up shots, but also in direct use with influencers. This indicates that DJI has already actively prepared marketing material and distributed test devices. Such early influencer tests are often a clear signal of an imminent sales launch.
DJI Osmo Pocket 4P focuses on powerful camera upgrades for vloggers
Technically, the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P could make a significant leap over its predecessors. According to current leaks, the camera will be equipped with a 1-inch sensor, which will bring clear advantages, particularly in terms of low-light shots, dynamic range and image quality. A larger sensor is a noticeable added value, especially for creators who frequently film on the move.
A telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom is also expected. This function would be a particularly exciting upgrade in the Pocket series, as the focus to date has mainly been on wide-angle shots. An optical zoom opens up significantly more creative possibilities, for example for product shots, interviews or travel videos with more flexible image compositions.

The leaked comparison shots also show that DJI is positioning the Osmo Pocket 4P directly against the new Osmo Pocket 4 and even against the older Osmo Pocket 3. This indicates that DJI deliberately wants to make the difference in performance visible.
A possible Mini 5 Pro drone can also be seen in some of the images, which reinforces speculation about further new products. DJI currently seems to be in a particularly active product phase and could launch several new devices on the market at the same time in the coming weeks.
Conclusion
The DJI Osmo Pocket 4P is shaping up to be one of the most exciting vlogging cameras of the year, even before its official launch. The combination of a 1-inch sensor, telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and the compact pocket format could be particularly interesting for content creators and mobile filmmakers. An official price and a concrete release date have yet to be announced, but the numerous leaks clearly indicate that the camera will be launched soon.
