- Combines a 1-inch main sensor with a 3x telephoto lens... ‘The Pocket Camera that breaks boundaries’
DJI, the undisputed leader in the compact gimbal camera market, is expected to release its high-end model, the ‘Osmo Pocket 4P (Pro),’ on May 7th. According to recent reports from the global camera rumor site ‘Photo Rumors’ and various industry leaks, this new product is anticipated to surpass the previously released standard ‘Pocket 4’ with powerful optical performance and professional-grade video features.
■ Key Change: The First ‘Dual-Lens’ System in a Gimbal Camera
The most striking change is the dual camera module arranged vertically on the gimbal head. In addition to the existing 1-inch CMOS wide-angle sensor, a separate 3x optical telephoto lens is added. This marks a significant departure from previous models that relied on lossless digital zoom, enabling natural bokeh effects for portraits and telephoto shots with overwhelming detail.
■ Superior Video Specs and Workflow
The Pocket 4P is designed with a professional workflow in mind. Key specifications being discussed include:
- Slow Motion: Supports up to 240fps at 4K resolution.
- Dynamic Range: Offers a wide 14-stop dynamic range and a 10-bit D-Log color profile.
- Internal Storage: Equipped with 128GB of internal memory (increased from the standard 107GB), allowing for long-duration high-quality recording without a memory card.
- Tilt Screen: Features a versatile tilt-type touchscreen to maximize shooting convenience.
■ Evolution of Tracking Technology and Design
The subject tracking technology has also been upgraded to ActiveTrack 7.0, maintaining fast and accurate focus even when using the telephoto lens. While the exterior maintains the compactness of the Osmo Pocket series, it is expected to be slightly thicker than the standard model due to the dual lenses and improved heat dissipation system.
■ Price and Market Outlook
The industry expects the Pocket 4P to be priced at approximately $700. While this is higher than the $499 price tag of the standard model, it is expected to be an attractive option for creators seeking high-performance telephoto capabilities and professional video quality.
With competitors like Insta360 recently challenging the dual-lens market with the 'Luna Ultra,' all eyes are on whether DJI can successfully maintain its dominance through this May 7th announcement.
