DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Press Images Leaked by Quadro_news

With four days to go before DJI’s official announcement, Igor Bogdanov’s @Quadro_news account has published the first set of official press images of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 in a three-part photo set.

DJI has confirmed April 16 as the announcement date across its social channels. What’s left to surprise us is rapidly shrinking.

What the Images Show

The press photos confirm what earlier leaks from retail packaging had already suggested: this is a refined Pocket 3, not a ground-up redesign.

The body keeps the same core form factor, now with a better textured grip and repositioned controls designed for one-handed use. The rotating touchscreen is larger and brighter than the Pocket 3’s, which was already a strong point.

Two new physical buttons are clearly visible — a dedicated zoom rocker and a programmable “C” shortcut key, both positioned for thumb access while filming on the move. The magnetic mount system also makes an appearance, enabling accessories like the Creator Combo’s clip-on LED fill light to attach and detach without tools.

The Specs Confirmed on Retail Packaging

Retail packaging photos that surfaced earlier this week put most of the key figures in print. Here’s what the box confirms:

The Osmo Pocket 4 carries a 1-inch CMOS sensor with 14 stops of dynamic range, matching the Pocket 3’s sensor size while stepping up to 4K at 120fps — double the slow-motion frame rate of its predecessor.

The color pipeline supports 10-bit D-Log for post-production flexibility. Internal storage lands at 107GB with transfer speeds of up to 800 megabytes per second, and there’s no microSD card slot visible on the unit. That’s a significant commitment to internal-only storage, and the transfer speed makes it workable.

The 2x lossless zoom appears to be hardware-enabled, not a digital crop. ActiveTrack 7.0 handles subject tracking, with OsmoAudio 4-channel recording handling sound. The battery is reported at approximately 1,545 mAh.

The camera weighs approximately 116 grams. For reference, the Pocket 3 weighed 179 grams — that’s a reduction of about 35 percent in the same pocketable form factor.

What’s New in the Creator Combo

The Creator Combo is shaping up to be the more interesting package of the two, as Bogdanov himself noted.

It includes the camera, a gimbal clamp, threaded handle, mini tripod, wireless microphone transmitter, magnetic clip, windshields, extended lens, and the new magnetic fill light.

That LED floodlight is one of the more practical accessories DJI has added to any Pocket bundle — it clips on magnetically and fills shadow for night shoots, indoor interviews, or low-light vlogging without adding a separate light stand. For solo creators, that’s a real workflow improvement.

What to Expect on April 16

DJI officially confirmed the April 16 announcement date on its social channels on April 9. Multiple authorized dealers, including Colombian DJI retailer DroneTechx, have been running pre-sale campaigns pointing to April 20 as global availability, landing mid-NAB week.

Leaked pricing clusters around $499 to $599 for the standard Pocket 4 and $649 to $749 for the Creator Combo. US buyers should be clear for the standard model — it received FCC certification before DJI was added to the Covered List in December 2025.

A Pocket 4 Pro with a dual-lens setup is reportedly in development but has been pushed to May or June 2026 to avoid cannibalizing the standard launch. The Pro variant carries no FCC registration, which makes US retail availability unlikely in any official capacity.

DroneXL’s Take

Let’s be straight: the Osmo Pocket 4 is an evolution, and that’s not a knock on it.

The Pocket 3 set a high bar. Keeping the 1-inch sensor while adding 4K/120fps, cutting 35 percent of the weight, and doubling the internal storage capacity is meaningful progress. The no-microSD decision is a bet that 107GB and fast USB offload is enough for most creators — and for most use cases, it probably is.

If you own a Pocket 3 and you’re happy with 4K/60fps, the upgrade math is soft. But if you’re buying your first Pocket camera, or if slow-motion and weight matter to your workflow, the Pocket 4 looks like the right call at the rumored $499 price point.

The real story in this category is the Insta360 Luna waiting in the wings. DJI knows it. The April 16 announcement timing, right before NAB, isn’t accidental.
