  • We're getting closer to the launch of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P
  • Official images of the camera have been posted by DJI
  • A lot of the key details about the device are still to be confirmed

Following the launch of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 vlogging camera last month, we're getting closer and closer to the full unveiling of its premium sibling — and DJI has given us our best look yet at the Osmo Pocket 4P on social media.

Posts to X and Instagram reveal the design of the device in full, more or less. We can see the dual-lens camera setup, which is one of the key differences from the standard model, and there are hints towards 3x zoom and a 1-inch sensor.

The camera was shown off at an "exclusive preview" at the Cannes Film Festival yesterday, but we're still waiting on a lot of details. Some festival attendees have been showing off the camera, without revealing any specs or showing any footage captured by the device.

What we can say is that this is going to be a step up from the standard Pocket 4 in terms of video quality and price, and its tease at Cannes is a sign that DJI wants to promote this as a serious bit of equipment for movie-makers.

The waiting game

There is now an official press release, but again it's light on specific specs. We do hear the camera is capable of "professional-grade storytelling" and offers 10-bit D-Log2 color performance, which industry creatives will appreciate.

The press release also talks about better portrait, zoom, and low-light performance, so it sounds as though DJI has put everything it can into the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P. However, pricing and configurations "will be announced at a later date", DJI says.

This long build-up of hype hasn't sat well with some commenters on Reddit, who have dismissed the Cannes tease as "pure marketing fluff" with "zero real details". We'll have to wait and see if the camera ends up being worth the extended wait.

Meanwhile, Insta360 is busy getting ready to launch the Insta360 Luna Ultra, with its own dual-lens camera setup, 8K video recording, and a detachable, remote control dashboard, according to the latest leaks.
