News, deep dives, and analysis — every DJI Osmo Pocket story, newest first.
The DJI Osmo Pocket line is the pocket gimbal camera most creators end up carrying, and in 2026 the interesting story about it is not the hardware — it is where you are allowed to buy it.
The Pocket 4P launched worldwide on July 30, 2026 with the US left off the map once again. That absence has a direct consequence at the till: both the Pocket 4 and the 4P show up on US Amazon at prices DJI never set. Buying one there is a genuinely different transaction from an official purchase, and worth understanding before you spend.
For an American buyer weighing the category, the honest framing is availability first. Of the Pocket 4, the Pocket 4P and the Insta360 Luna Ultra, only one is straightforwardly legal to buy in the US. If you can choose freely, our Pocket 4 Pro versus Luna Ultra comparison works through the specs that matter, and the Pocket 3 versus Pocket 4 upgrade question covers whether existing owners should move at all. There is also a Pocket 4 Pro against the standard Pocket 4 if you are choosing within the line.
The wider context is the US import and ban fight, which we cover on the FCC and DJI desks — the same policy machinery that decides which DJI products reach American shelves at all. Every Osmo Pocket story lands in the feed below.

Not through DJI. The 4P launched globally on July 30, 2026 and the US was left off the list again. Units do reach US Amazon listings, but at prices DJI never set, which is a different purchase from an official one — different pricing, different support expectations.
The 4P is the higher-end model of the pair, and it is the one DJI has kept out of the US market. For an American buyer the practical difference is often availability and price rather than capability.
For a US buyer the question starts with what you can actually purchase: of the Pocket 4, the Pocket 4P and the Luna Ultra, only one is straightforwardly legal to buy. We compared the Pocket 4 Pro and the Luna Ultra directly for buyers who can choose freely.
