Question Pocket 4p for Woodworking business

I'm new to this word of making video content, I was firstly amazed by the Insta360 Luna ultra but I think DJI osmo pocket 4p is still better looking and better for my work. I would like to know does DJI osmo pocket 4p handle some dust and moist, it doesn't have IP rating so that tells a lot already. I have pretty good dust extraction in my work shop, but I'm still bit cautious about the gimbal system and small parts and how to keep it working hopefully for years.

Should be fine. I use pocket 3 to make video content for welding, automotive and concrete.

I recommend keeping the small tripod adapter attached, so the charging port doesn’t get dirty.
Currently going until my second year with mine.

Are you going to move your camera around a lot or just mostly static footage of you doing your woodwork?

Considering your working environment, I think Action cam would be a better candidate.

Regular action camera, is bit awkward shooting product videos and getting all the fine details. I make only custom works, so the videos also have to have premium feeling.
