DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is officially released, the vlogging pocket camera has evolved again! Smart Follow 7.0, stronger night beats and stronger radio

Now that moving image creation is becoming more and more popular, in the past few years DJI Its Osmo Pocket 3 can be said to be a must-have vlog for video creators and people who want to record their lives. camera. The new generation, which users have been knocking on for a long time, will officially debut this evening (16th)! The newly launched DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Once again, the shooting experience of pocket gimbal cameras is pushed to a new level.
Although the appearance continues the design of the previous generation, this time there have been significant adjustments in low-light image quality, sound collection capabilities and operating logic, which has greatly changed the overall use experience. From the night shooting performance to the smoothness of real-time operation, people begin to rethink whether this seemingly familiar small body has quietly brought about a completely different creative rhythm.

This time, the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 continues the familiar design language of the previous generation and is still a lightweight and easy-to-carry pocket gimbal camera. But the real focus is actually hidden inside.
First of all, in the core part of the image, it still uses a 1-inch CMOS sensor and 4K resolution video, paired with a 20mm equivalent, f/2.0 aperture lens. However, the sensor itself has been redesigned to take the overall imaging capabilities to a higher level.

The most obvious difference appears in low-light environments. Official data shows that the dynamic range has been increased to 14 stops this time, 2 stops more than the previous generation. In actual shooting, you can feel that the details in the dark areas are more complete, and the highlights are less likely to blow out.

For night shooting scenes, the purity of the picture has been significantly improved. The smearing that occasionally appeared in the past is almost invisible, and the overall texture is closer to that of a professional camera.

For advanced users, one of the biggest upgrades this time is support for standard 10-bit D-Log mode. Compared with the previous D-Log M, the new color mode has higher flexibility in post-production color grading. Whether you want to make a movie-style or commercial film, you have more room to play.

In addition, the slow-motion recording part has been upgraded from the original 120fps to 4K 240fps in one go, which means that it can achieve up to 10 times the slow-motion effect. For creators who like to shoot sports, street photography or dynamic images, this upgrade is very interesting.

The most impressive change this time is actually not the specifications, but the operation method. Two new physical buttons are added below the 2-inch rotating screen to make the shooting process more intuitive. In the past, when using the joystick to zoom, it was easy to cause unevenness in the picture due to the unstable feel. Now, a smoother zoom effect can be achieved through physical buttons.

It supports 2x lossless zoom in 4K mode and up to 4x in 1080p, and can also be used simultaneously when the Smart Follow 7.0 function is turned on.

The other is a customizable shortcut key, which can be set to perform different functions of single-click, double-click, and triple-click, such as quickly returning the gimbal, switching modes, or locking the angle. This design allows functions that originally required entering the menu to be completed with one click, greatly reducing the feeling of panic when shooting.

Osmo Pocket 4 has 107GB of built-in storage space, which is actually very practical. Even if you forget to bring the memory card when you go out temporarily, you don’t have to worry about being unable to shoot. It can basically support several hours of high-definition video recording.

In terms of transmission, it supports a speed of up to 800MB/s, which can save a lot of time whether you are quickly backing up materials during travel or directly transferring them to your laptop for editing.

Radio capability is also one of the key upgrades this time. Three sets of microphones are built into the fuselage to support spatial sound recording, which can more realistically present the direction of sound. In addition, two practical functions are added:

• Zoom radio, when the picture is zoomed in on the person, the human voice will be automatically strengthened
• Vocal enhancement, effectively suppressing background noise in noisy environments

These two functions are very practical for Vlog creators, especially when shooting on the street or traveling, which can reduce the burden of post-production processing.

If you are looking for higher sound quality, you can also pair it with the new DJI Mic 3. This time it further supports four-channel recording, which can record ambient sounds and vocals at the same time and integrate them into a single file, making post-editing easier.
 

For novices who don’t want to spend time grading colors, this time there are 6 built-in film tone filters, which can be directly applied to output stylized videos, ranging from retro to warm tones.

In addition, a modular design concept has been introduced. The all-round set comes with a magnetic fill light, which can be directly attached to the body and powered for use. The brightness can also be controlled through the body. This design represents the opportunity to see more lightweight accessories introduced in the future.

The battery capacity has been increased to 1545mAh, which increases battery life by approximately 20%. In the case of 4K recording, the average usage time is about 2.5 hours, which is quite enough for a typical day of shooting. The charging speed has also been improved, and it only takes 18 minutes to charge to 80%, which is very practical when shooting outdoors or while traveling.

Conclusion
