| A close-up of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4. |
If you’ve been scrolling through social media lately, you’ve probably noticed DJI has been unusually chatty about its next vlogging camera. The company is known for keeping things under wraps until the last possible moment, but with the Osmo Pocket 4, they’re taking a different approach—teasing features, showing off slow-motion clips, and dropping just enough hints to get the creator community buzzing.
But let’s be real: DJI is still holding back plenty of details. That’s where the leakers come in. And one name keeps popping up: Igor Bogdanov, who has been pulling back the curtain on what might be the most anticipated compact vlogging camera of the year.
More storage, slower motion, and a mid-April launch
DJI has already confirmed a few things on its own. The company hinted that the Osmo Pocket 4 will come with “more storage” than its predecessor—a welcome upgrade for anyone who’s ever been mid-vlog and hit that dreaded “card full” message. For reference, the current Osmo Pocket 3 is still selling for around $475 on Amazon, so the price bump for the new model isn’t entirely unexpected.
DJI also teased the camera’s slow-motion video capabilities in a recent clip, though they didn’t share exact frame rates or resolution. Given how good the Pocket 3 already is at 4K/120fps, it’s safe to assume the Pocket 4 will push things even further.
But the real flood of information started earlier this week when Bogdanov dropped nearly a dozen images showing not just the Osmo Pocket 4 itself, but also a whole ecosystem of accessories. And now, just days before the official April 16 launch, he’s detailed two different accessory bundles that DJI appears to be preparing.
What’s in the box? Two combos, two very different feature sets
According to Bogdanov’s latest leak, DJI will offer the Osmo Pocket 4 in two configurations: a Standard Combo and a Creator Combo. And the differences go way beyond just a carrying case.
The Standard Combo seems surprisingly well-equipped. The leak suggests it will ship with:
- A new LED fill light (built-in or attached? Images suggest it’s part of the standard kit)
- A handle with a 1/4-inch thread (perfect for mounting on tripods or rigs)
- A transmitter (likely for wireless monitoring or audio)
- A mini tripod
- A wide-angle lens
That’s a lot of value for a base package. Typically, DJI reserves the wide-angle lens and fill light for the more expensive bundle, so if this leak holds up, the Standard Combo could be a killer deal at its rumored $499 starting price.
Then there’s the Creator Combo, which adds a handful of thoughtful extras:
- A carrying bag (larger, likely padded)
- A carrying pouch (smaller, for the camera itself)
- A clamp (for mounting to backpacks, straps, or other gear)
- Two windscreens (essential for outdoor vlogging)
- A magnetic charging cable (quieter and more convenient than USB-C for certain rigs)
Pricing for the Creator Combo is less certain, but Bogdanov suggests it could land somewhere between $649 and $749. That’s a significant jump, but if you’re a daily vlogger or run-and-gun shooter, the added windscreens and better carrying solution might be worth it.
A closer look at the leaked accessories (and why they matter)
One of the more interesting revelations is that DJI seems to be leaning hard into modularity. The 1/4-inch thread on the handle means you can mount the Pocket 4 on virtually any tripod, gimbal, or suction mount. The separate transmitter suggests DJI might be improving its wireless video transmission—possibly for using your phone as a monitor or for livestreaming.
And the LED fill light? That’s a game-changer for a camera this small. The Pocket 3 was already impressive in low light thanks to its 1-inch sensor, but having a dedicated fill light built into the standard kit means you can get professional-looking skin tones and catchlights without carrying a separate LED panel.
For those keeping score at home, you can see some of the leaked accessory images and join the speculation over on X. Quadro_News posted a thread that lines up with Bogdanov’s findings—check it out here.
How does it compare to the Osmo Pocket 3?
The Pocket 3 is no slouch. It’s currently sitting at $475 on Amazon, and it’s widely considered one of the best vlogging cameras you can buy thanks to its 1-inch sensor, mechanical gimbal stabilization, and rotating touchscreen. So why upgrade?
If the leaks are accurate, the Pocket 4 will offer:
- More internal storage (no word on exactly how much, but likely 512GB or even 1TB)
- Better slow-motion (possibly 4K/240fps or 1080p/480fps)
- Improved low-light performance (the LED fill light helps, but a newer sensor could also be in play)
- A more robust accessory ecosystem straight out of the box
That said, if you already own a Pocket 3 and don’t need the extras, the current model remains an incredible value. You can still grab it on Amazon here.
What DJI still isn’t telling us
For all the teasing and leaking, there are still some big unknowns. DJI hasn’t officially confirmed the sensor size, battery life, or whether the Pocket 4 will support 10-bit video or Log profiles. There’s also no word on autofocus improvements—though DJI’s current subject tracking is already class-leading.
We also don’t know if the new LED fill light is adjustable in color temperature or brightness. If it’s a simple on/off light, that’s fine for fill, but creators will want bi-color adjustability for different environments.
And then there’s the microphone situation. The Pocket 3 had decent built-in mics, but serious vloggers used external options. The inclusion of two windscreens in the Creator Combo suggests DJI expects you to use the onboard mics—or maybe they’ve improved them significantly.
Final thoughts: Should you wait or buy now?
If you’re in the market for a pocket-sized vlogging camera, April 16 is circled on the calendar. The Osmo Pocket 4 looks like a meaningful upgrade, especially for creators who want an all-in-one solution without rigging up a bunch of separate accessories.
The $499 starting price is reasonable, though the $649–749 Creator Combo might be the sweet spot for anyone who vlogs outdoors or travels frequently. Either way, DJI appears to be listening to what creators actually need: more storage, better lighting, and fewer things to buy separately.
We’ll know all the official specs and pricing in just a few days. Until then, keep an eye on DJI’s social channels—and maybe start clearing out some space on your desk for that new gimbal camera.
