The DJI Osmo Pocket 4P was fully revealed on the China page of DJI’s website earlier this month, and I’ve already taken my test sample traveling, but tech journalists like me across the globe are in an awkward position, still being under embargo with our review content.
What I can tell you now, is that the Pocket 4P is available in black or white, has a new 60mm medium-telephoto lens with a large aperture, offers DLog2 support and up to 17-stops dynamic range. The rest is under wraps, or publicly available on the DJI site by selecting the China region (中国大陆).
I can, however, share some of the footage that I’ve shot with DJI’s first dual-lens model in its hugely popular series of Pocket vlogging cameras. I’ll say it now — I love its versatility and am really impressed with the videos I have been able to create with it.
Duel of the dual lens cameras
DJI must have been hoping for a dramatic reveal of its first dual-lens vlogging camera, only for Insta360 to somewhat steal its thunder by launching the Luna Ultra first. I’ve already tested the Luna Ultra and said it’s a super impressive first generation product.
That’s the competition the Pocket 4P is going up against, and I look forward to sharing my comparisons between the two models soon. Until then, you can enjoy my Pocket 4P sample reel, above.
Like I say, I can’t reveal any specs related to the video, though at the least it should be pretty obvious which clips are shot with the ultra-wide lens, and which clips are shot with the new 60mm medium-telephoto lens.
We can get a rough ballpark on pricing, too. According the DJI site, the Pocket 4P Standard kit costs CNY 3,799 (about $562 / £420), and the Vlog kit is listed at CNY 4,299 (about $636 / £475).
The single-lens Pocket 4 starts at £429 / AU$749 for the Standard kit, or £549 / AU$959 for the Creator Combo, however, so I expect the Pocket 4P to cost more than those price conversions above.
Insta360’s co-founder already told me it ‘won’t compete on price‘ — it’s Luna Ultra starts at $769.99 / £649 / AU$1,229.99. My prediction, therefore, is that the Pocket 4P will sit roughly in the middle between the Pocket 4 and Luna Ultra, but don’t expect US availability any time soon.
I’ll be bringing you my full review when I’m permitted to.
