- A hands-on video for the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 has leaked
- The vlogging gimbal camera should be about to launch
- It looks as though an LED light accessory will be available
We must be very close to the official launch of the successor to the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, because the leaks just keep on coming – and the latest to catch our eye is a hands-on video of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 being tested out in a store.
This comes from The New Camera (via Android Authority), and the video was apparently filmed by employees at the official DJI retail outlet in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, after a customer brought in one of the as-yet-unannounced vlogging cameras.
While the original video has now been taken down, The New Camera was able to upload it to its own YouTube channel, so we can still get a good look at what's coming our way soon. The design looks largely the same, though there are now two extra buttons on the control panel – at the moment, it's not clear exactly what they do.
From previous leaks, it seems as though the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is going to have the same size screen as its predecessor – 2 inches, corner to corner – but there has been talk that it'll be brighter than before, and there are rumors of a battery capacity boost too.
Shine a light
Perhaps the most notable new revelation in this leak is the addition of an LED light on top of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4. According to The New Camera, that's going to be an optional accessory – you'll be able to buy it in one of the bundles offered with the camera.
The same source is putting the estimated launch price at around $549-$699. There's no pricing for countries outside the US, but considering the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 had a starting price of $519 / £489 / AU$849, it looks as though a price bump might be imminent.
However, it's not clear if those two price points include exactly the same offerings in terms of what's bundled with the camera (like additional batteries). It's more than two years since the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 launched, so its successor might come with some surprises.

With a ban on new DJI products now in force in the US, we're going to have to wait and see if the camera gets a launch in that country at all – though it may have sneaked through regulatory approval just in time, as per earlier leaks.
