| DJI Osmo Pocket 4 leaked retail packaging. |
The rumor mill for the highly anticipated DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is officially spinning out of control. Just hours after reports surfaced suggesting a potential March release date, we now have what appears to be our very first glimpse of the product itself—or at least, its paperwork.
Fresh evidence has emerged that seemingly confirms the existence of the Osmo Pocket 4, and it comes in the form of a leaked Quick Start Guide. This isn't just another speculative render; it looks like the real deal, giving us our clearest indication yet that DJI is gearing up for a major launch.
A Closer Look at the Leaked Manual
The image, shared by reputable tipster Igor Bogdanov on X (formerly Twitter), shows what is clearly the first page of an official Osmo Pocket 4 user manual. The document is specifically labeled for the "Creator Combo," a popular variant that DJI also offered with the Osmo Pocket 3. The bilingual guide (English and Chinese) features a clean, professional layout that is consistent with DJI's official documentation.
Embedded below is the post that has the vlogging community buzzing:

While the QR codes in the image are unreadable, the publication The New Camera, which first shared the leak from a subscriber, notes that the image has been vetted and appears highly authentic, showing no signs of being AI-generated. The guide provides a basic run-through of the camera's physical button layout, hinting at a design language that will be familiar to users of the Osmo Pocket 3 but with refinements expected in a next-generation model.
What the "Creator Combo" Tells Us
The fact that the leak specifically points to a Creator Combo is significant. For the Osmo Pocket 3 (curr. $416 on Amazon), the Creator Combo typically includes essential accessories like a DJI Mic 2 transmitter, a portable charging case, and a wide-angle lens. This suggests that DJI is once again targeting serious vloggers and content creators who need a professional-grade audio and accessory kit right out of the box.
According to the team at The New Camera, this leak likely originated from early retail stock in Asia, which aligns with predictions of a staggered global rollout. The prevailing theory is that DJI will announce the device in mainland China first, followed by a worldwide release shortly after.
Pricing, Release Date, and Potential Hurdles
So, when can you get your hands on one? Based on the latest reporting, all signs point to a formal announcement in China on March 26, 2026. Following this, a U.S. and global rollout is expected sometime in the middle of April 2026.
Of course, a new device means a new price point. While nothing is official, industry speculation points to a starting price of around $499 for the standard model, with the leaked Creator Combo expected to retail for approximately $649. This would position it as a premium, yet competitive, option in the vlogging camera market.
However, potential U.S. buyers should be aware of a possible complication: the ongoing DJI import bans on new products. Fortunately, The New Camera points out that the Osmo Pocket 4 was registered with the FCC back in November 2025, which may smooth the path for its U.S. availability despite the broader political challenges.
The Bottom Line
With each passing day, the arrival of the Osmo Pocket 4 feels more imminent. This Quick Start Guide leak is the strongest evidence yet that the camera is not just a rumor, but a product sitting in boxes, ready to be shipped. While pricing and final specs remain unconfirmed, the stage is set for what could be the vlogging camera of the year. Keep it locked here for more updates as we approach that late-March announcement window.
