A few months ago, I reviewed the DJI Osmo Pocket 4, which was my first time reviewing a camera from the Osmo Pocket series. I have already returned the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 when I realized I needed a pocket camera in my life. Our friends from DJI influenced me to acquire the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P which is much better than the Pocket 4.
After using the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P for more than a month, it’s time for me to share my review.
By the way. we are reviewing its new color way Pearl White with all accessories also on white.

The Unboxing
I received the Standard edition for my DJI Osmo Pocket 4P Pearl White colorway.
Inside the box are the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P in Pearl White, extended handle, fill light, strap, type-C USB Cable, and a White Carrying Pouch. I love the texture of white carrying pouch. It’s very different from the usual black carrying pouch of the Pocket 4 and 4P.
In the Pocket 4, there was a gimbal protector included to protect the camera. Personally, it was okay for me to use carrying pouch knowing the camera will not move. However, there is no protection included for the Pocket 4P. I had to buy a protective case from an online store.

The Built and Design
The built quality and design is the same as the Pocket 4. On the left side is Micro SD Card slot which can accommodate up to 1TB.
The front is a 2.0 inch touchscreen that can be rotated for taking landscape photos or videos. When the screen is rotated, it will reveal two buttons, one for zoom and one for your preferred shortcut settings. Below that is the 5-way directional joystick and the record/shutter button.
Found at the bottom is the USB Type-C port. The extended handle can be attached to let you hold the Pocket 4P comfortably or you can purchase third-party battery extenders to prolong the 4P’s battery life.
The Display
The settings of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P can be accessed through the 2.0 touchscreen display. Swiping down the screen opens the control center, swiping up is for adjusting resolution, and frame rate, swiping left is for Beautify and Pro mode, and swiping to the right is to access the album.
If you’re using the Osmo FrameTap to control the Pocket 4P, you can still access the settings by swiping the FrameTap’s display.
The Cameras
The cameras are the main upgrade from the DJI Osmo Pocket 4. The DJI Osmo Pocket 4P features a dual-camera system; 1-inch 20mm wide-angle and 1/1.28-inch 60mm telephoto up to 4K/240fps slow-motion. The idea of adding a telephoto is a godsend for Osmo Pocket users because they are limited by its wide-angle lens.
I am aware that digital zoom isn’t as sharp compared to a true telephoto lens, but they somehow turned out quite well.
The DJI Osmo Pocket 4P is not just for taking video, but can also be used for taking photos too. Here are some samples:
Photos are pretty good as long as there is good amount of lighting in low light environment.
I enjoyed recording videos with the Pocket 4P! I recorded lots of videos, especially for TikTok. My complaint here is vertical recording only has a resolution up to 3K. There is a workaround but I wish DJI will simply come up with a software update which I think should solve the problem. I am also able to take videos remotely thanks to the Osmo FrameTap remote. ActiveTrack 8.0 worked great during the a runway event I covered weeks ago.
I recently learned to color-grade so I turned on the Pro features of the Pocket 4P and activated D-Log and D-Log 2. I also tinkered the settings of the camera so I can experiment producing cinematic videos. I plan to do this too with my Mini 5 Pro and AVATA 360 drones and produce cinematic drone videos.
Here are some sample videos taken with the Pocket 4P:
The Battery Life
Battery capacity of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P is rated at 1545 mAh. Based on our test, its battery can conk out after almost 2vhours of continuous 4K/30fps recording. Charging is very quick as I can fully charge my Pocket 4P in 30 minutes.
DJI Osmo Pocket 4P DR’s CONCLUSION
There is no doubt the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P is one of, if not the most powerful, versatile Pocket cameras available in the market today. At the recent COMPUTEX 2026 event in Taiwan, a lot of media colleagues from different parts of the world were using Osmo Pockets from Pocket 3 to 4P.
The Pocket 4P is now part of my everyday carry and is my primary camera for capturing videos of event coverages and product shoots. Nowadays, I allot a few hours of my time for a new hobby I’ve unlocked – filmmaking. The Pocket 4P opened my imagination on making short films, a hobby I’ve been wanting to explore 20 years ago.
This was the reason why I got myself a Black Pocket 4P Vlog Combo, and I will soon enough invest in ND filters.
