What Launched
DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4P went on sale globally on July 30, 2026, and it’s the biggest change the Pocket line has seen since it launched: for the first time, it’s a dual-lens camera. Where the Pocket 3 and the standard Pocket 4 carry one lens on a 3-axis gimbal, the Pocket 4P adds a second, giving shooters an actual focal-length choice without an add-on lens or a crop.
The wide lens pairs a 20mm-equivalent f/2.0 optic with a new 1-inch CMOS sensor using LOFIC technology, rated at 17 stops of dynamic range and capable of 4K at up to 240fps for slow motion. The second lens is a 60mm-equivalent medium telephoto at f/1.8, giving 3x optical zoom (extendable to 12x digitally) and, thanks to that wide telephoto aperture, noticeably more subject-background separation than a pocket camera has offered before. Both lenses share DJI’s new 10-bit D-Log 2 color profile, rated for over a billion colors of grading latitude.
Why the Second Lens Actually Matters
A single fixed wide lens has always been the Pocket line’s biggest creative limitation — great for walk-and-talk vlogging, cramped for an actual portrait or a proper telephoto compression shot. The 4P’s telephoto module is a real answer to that, not a digital crop: a separate sensor and optic that DJI says produces genuine background blur at f/1.8, something no previous Pocket camera could fake convincingly. Combined with ActiveTrack 8.0, which now supports tracking through the telephoto lens and multi-person tracking, it pushes the Pocket 4P further into territory that used to require a proper mirrorless body and a gimbal rig.
The rest of the hardware moved forward too: a brighter 1000-nit OLED screen, two additional physical buttons for quick zoom and preset switching (the Pocket 3 has just one), 103GB of built-in storage, and roughly 210 minutes of runtime — though that’s on the heavier side for the category at 230 grams, the tradeoff for packing in a second camera module.
Pricing and Availability
DJI priced the Standard Combo at £529 (about $704 / €599) and the Vlog Combo at £605. It’s now shipping in the UK, the EU, Canada, and Australia. There’s no US listing from DJI at all, and no confirmed plan to add one.
That’s not an oversight — DJI has been added to the FCC’s Covered List, which blocks its newer hardware from getting the authorization required for legal retail sale in the US. Every 2026 DJI release, the Pocket 4P included, is shut out of the American market as a result. The camera is technically reachable in the US only through third-party importers, and at a real markup: US Amazon listings have been spotted around $980, roughly $276 over DJI’s own global price, before accounting for the lack of a warranty or official support.

The Bigger Picture
The Pocket 4P is arguably the most capable pocket gimbal camera DJI has ever built, and it’s launching into most of the world at a genuinely competitive price. For US-based creators, though, it’s the clearest example yet of a pattern that’s now affecting DJI’s entire 2026 lineup: the hardware keeps improving, and the path to legally buying it in America keeps getting narrower. Anyone importing one should budget for the markup, expect no official US warranty support, and keep an eye on where the regulatory situation goes from here — it’s the deciding factor for this camera far more than any spec on the page.
