DJI Confirms Osmo Pocket 4P With Coordinated Teaser, Dual-Lens Hardware Now Official

DJI broke its public silence on the Osmo Pocket 4P on Friday morning, posting coordinated teasers from its global and Japan X accounts that show the dual-lens hardware leakers have been describing for months. The DJI Global post pairs the line “See More. Tell More. Osmo Pocket 4P, Grand Release Coming Soon” with a render of two camera modules on a gimbal head, one of them clearly labeled 1-INCH. DJI Japan published a parallel teaser using the line “An expanding world, overflowing with stories.” Both posts went out within a minute of each other, both carry the #OsmoPocket4P hashtag, and both link to a regional DJI brand page where the company describes the product as “a revolutionary pocket-sized gimbal equipped with a dual-camera system” launching in 2026.

This is the first time DJI has acknowledged the product by name through official Western channels. Until this morning, every detail came from FCC paperwork and retail leaks, plus an influencer meetup in China earlier this week.

The teaser confirms the dual-lens design that leaks have been showing

The product still pulled from DJI Global’s post matches the hardware that surfaced from the China influencer event covered by DroneXL on Sunday: a vertical dual-camera arrangement with a 1-inch main sensor paired with a second telephoto lens, mounted on the familiar Pocket-style gimbal handle. The “P” naming is now settled by DJI on its own channels, after months of split speculation between “Pocket 4P” and “Pocket 4 Pro.” FCC filings list the product under model number PP 041 with FCC ID 2ANDR PP041, approved on December 22, 2025. DJI’s official teaser page describes the camera as offering “flexible focal length coverage” across shooting scenarios, which lines up with the rumored 3x optical telephoto on the secondary lens.

Release timing points to late May or June

DroneXL’s reporting in April placed the official announcement window at late May or early June 2026, with China expected to get the product first and a global rollout following shortly after. The FCC’s confidentiality period on the 4P paperwork runs to roughly June 20, 2026, unless DJI requests an extension. The historical pattern is for DJI to launch before its own confidentiality lock expires. Pricing chatter has clustered around $700 for the base model, roughly $200 above the standard Pocket 4‘s $499 sticker.

US buyers face the same problem the standard Pocket 4 already hit

The standard DJI Osmo Pocket 4 launched on April 16, 2026 and never reached US retail, with DJI spokesperson Daisy Kong telling The Verge at launch that the application for authorization with the FCC was still pending. The 4P sits in a tougher spot. The standard model received its FCC certification before DJI was added to the FCC Covered List on December 22, 2025. The 4P’s certification landed the same day DJI was added to the list, putting it on the wrong side of the cutoff.

This is a handheld vlogging camera. It does not fly. It captures no aerial imagery. It is a gimbal-mounted point-and-shoot competing with Sony’s ZV line and Insta360‘s upcoming Luna Ultra. The framework that was sold to the public as a drone-specific national security measure has now blocked US retail for the standard Pocket 4 and other 2026 DJI consumer hardware launches, with the Pocket 4P almost certainly joining them. Other Chinese-made action cameras and mirrorless bodies continue to sell freely through US channels.

DroneXL’s Take

The teaser confirms what FCC filings and the China influencer photos earlier this week had already shown. This is a real product with a real release window, and the dual-lens optical zoom is the upgrade vloggers have been asking for since the Pocket 2.

The naming question is also now settled by DJI itself. The product is the Pocket 4P, not the Pocket 4 Pro. That distinction matters for SEO and for the rumor mill that has been bouncing between both names since January. Watch the late May to mid-June window for the full announcement, with the FCC confidentiality unlock around June 20 as the latest backstop date if DJI does not move sooner.

The US situation is the part that should land hardest. Insta360’s Luna Ultra is positioned to launch in mid-May with a similar dual-lens configuration and a clear path through US retail. Oppo, Vivo, and Honor are circling the same category. None of them are entering this market because they suddenly out-engineered DJI on pocket cameras. They are entering because the FCC handed them a US distribution lane the category leader cannot use. The product is a camera. The policy is aimed at drones. The buyer who pays the cost of that mismatch is the American creator looking at a grey-market import or a flight to Europe.
