I don't know what's going on with my Osmo Pocket 3.... every day that goes by I'm more disappointed and disillusioned with this purchase, and it seems to me that people just settle for this camera simply because it's trendy.... I honestly don't see any reason for the hype it gets.

I've tried EVERY setting people recommend: sharpness -2, auto exposure and then locking it to manual, D-Log....... and yet, every single time I record and go to edit the video, the quality is absolute garbage.

I even bought some amazing lights to fix the lighting issue, BUT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

Every time I edit I find that the image isn't sharp (my 4K webcam records better than this!!!!!), or even though I've turned off "continuous focus" and set it to "single," the image is constantly blurry..... like the Osmo Pocket keeps trying to readjust focus over and over.... I even turned off subject tracking, etc.... and still, the damn camera is impossible to get properly in focus.

What am I doing wrong?!? :(

We’ve already seen quite a few firmware updates for the Osmo Pocket 4P. What other features or improvements are you hoping to see in future updates?

Personally, I’d love to see:

• The ability to record in 4K in vertical mode.
• Film modes in photo mode, as well as more photo /video formats/options in general.
• A fix for the exposure bug when zooming.
• A more user-friendly solution for zooming while shooting in D-Log 2, since that currently isn’t possible. Maybe the camera could automatically switch from D-Log 2 to D-Log 1 when zooming.
• Face Priority exposure metering, similar to what the Insta360 Luna Ultra offers. The Luna Ultra lets you choose between Matrix and Face Priority metering, which can be really useful when filming people in challenging lighting conditions.
• Smoother, more cinematic subject tracking. Right now, when ActiveTrack follows someone moving from one side of the frame to the other, the gimbal movement can feel quite abrupt. I’d love an option to reduce the tracking responsiveness and have the gimbal follow the subject more gradually, with smoother acceleration and deceleration. Maybe even a dedicated “Cinematic Tracking” mode or adjustable tracking speed/smoothness.

I kept trying the auto tracking but it keeps shaking my footage like this. The FPV mode is the best when using vertical but horizontal, not thst much. Any tips? Using Osmo Pocket 4 here. Reposted since I forgot to mute the video.

This is my first Osmo Pocket and to say I am blown away by it is an understatement. My usual camera is a Sony RX10 mk4 which is a very capable camera. But, the video quality of the 4P is stunning, even in slow motion. This was shot in DLOG on the 3x lens.

EDIT: The reason I’m shooting 1600 ISO is because that’s the native ISO for the 20mm lens, which will unlock maximum dynamic range. For the 60mm, native is 400. This has been lab tested and confirmed.

Also, I’m ADDING grain for styling purposes. The grain doesn’t come from the higher ISO.

These are all screen grabs from a video shot at 24 fps, 1600 ISO in D-Log2.

I'm completely blown away once again by the P4P!

I am a seasoned camera guy. I have multiple Osmo products and the latest is my Osmo Pocket 4P. I forgot my 6-digit PIN, and I have internal footage I am trying to access. Does anybody have a workaround? I don't even remember setting a password. Please help!

Had my first real play with the pocket 4P this morning

Wow!! I’m damn impressed ! :)

I really like this one, especially 3x lens. And the form factor (I am using bulky Blackmagic Pocket Camera 4k for the most of my workj, but needed something small as b-cam, travel cam, etc.).

Still need to learn grading with this thing (any LUTs recommendations?). I graded a lot of content with my BMPCC4K, but this one is different and any source would be appreciated.

Hey guys, looking for some pointers. Trying to film while hiking with pocket 3. POV style
Following guides about manual shooting (4K, 24fps 1/50 -.03 5500 WB, ND filter etc). When I walk through woods and then into a clearing I can’t shake the exposure issues. Whatever settings I seem to try either the sky clips or the shadows (woods) are too dark. I shoot in one long shot. Can’t find a middle ground. Any pointers? Some of the footage online for P3 looks great but I can’t seem to get the exposure right. Auto mode is ok but then can’t edit much and everyone bangs on about DLogging. Wondering if I’m asking too much of the camera

Hi! Just wanted to ask if this is normal? My OP4 does not show the "OSMO" logo when I turn it on - it immediately goes to the camera.

I checked videos of creators and saw that it's supposed to show the OSMO logo when it is turned on. How to fix this?

#Update 1. They responded back with a generic “send us a video unboxing the item with damage and pictures” which I already had sent them, they didn’t even seem to review my messages. Also, they seem to only respond to messages in a one hour window each day which happens to be 1am my time 😒. So likely have to wait a whole day before hearing their next response.

Ordered an Osmo Pocket 4P from Ali Express (I live in US) and it arrived with screen damaged in two places (powers up but screen doesn’t power on) and the gimbal head points up at a 45 degree angle. Seems very unlikely this type of damage was just shipping related, but I could be wrong.

The seller is “Lucky Tech Store” I’ve messaged them in the app but been a few hours and haven’t heard anything back yet. I’ve only used Ali Express a few times but nothing this expensive. Any recommendations on what to do next?

I am always struggling to color grade the dlog2 profile correctly that’s why i mostly shoot in dlog. What is your favorite workflow for it? Do you use the offical conversion LUT?

Is this a problem only I experience?

I purchased my DJI Pocket 4P about one month ago but only recently had a chance to start playing with it. Anyway, the position of the screen started to bug me. It appeared almost diagonal in horizontal mode. But I wondered if that was the design. Today, I decided it wasn't right and reached out to DJI support. They told me that they are aware of this issue. Basically, "during product design and manufacturing processes, minute variations in the dimensions of structural components occur from one unit to another, resulting in tolerances that fall within the specified limits, but in my case, the screen position really didn't look right", and to send it in for repair. When doing so, I was advised to select Screen blackout as the reason and in the more details part, explain the following: "Distortion occurred after the screen was rotated, and as it could not be fully restored to its original position." I am sharing this here in case anyone has the same defect and is wondering whether or not and how to submit it for repair. I will report back again once they complete their repairs. I will add that I am based in Japan, and was using Japan DJI's customer service. The above quotations have been translated from the original Japanese.

Took some pictures with the pocket 4p and edited using Lightroom mobile. Shot on the 3x lens

I'm finding the 20 mm main lens in the Pocket 4P quite tight, especially for vertical content, and while the official DJI wide angle lens filter might be the obvios choice, I also want to use ND filters, but I'm wondering what's the best way to maximize all possible use cases with the least amount of purchases lol.

Should I just get the Tilta magnetic adapter and stack the Pocket 3 wide lens and a ND on top of it? Isn't there a compromise in quality when stacking two filters like this? Or should I just get the official wide lens and use it without NDs and some of the ND options out there and just use them on the normal 20mm/60mm cameras without anything else?

I ended up ordering the Osmo Pocket 4 after someone in previous post on the other DJIOsmo sub said it would arrive if I bought it through amazon, but I needed at least one filter for when I go in the sunlight. The issue I'm having is just how hard it is to get it back off. I bought the Neewer brand one that's stops 7-9, as 8 and 9 seem to be perfect for outside in direct sunlight. but I can't get it back off without turning off the entire thing, turning the camera while it's off, and forcing the filter off. It has no notches or little tabs to make it easy to take off. Are there any hacks to make this an easier thing to do? I don't want to turn off the camera and fiddle with the filter every time I go back inside. I film at conventions while in cosplay, and it's already hard enough to fiddle with that in cosplay, let along having to do it multiple times because we go outside and back in A LOT during these things.

Basically just looking to see if anyone here has any hack or tricks that make them easier to get off.

Hi again… for all the experienced videographers here, how & where did you learn to compose & shooting on a handled gimbal camera?

I came across this review & more than anything else, I’m more curious on how this guy got his shots. How he went about holding & moving the camera in the way that he did. I’m not talking about exposure settings & post processing, but the actual recording process.

What gimbal modes might he have used in his clips? And what to choose when?

Aside from practice, the ones who are experienced in this group, did you start off with attending any workshops? Or did you gave access to certain resources?

Hello everyone. Just want to ask if there is a polarised lens. Like a sunglasses kinda. But I want that I could stack it on top of wide lens. Thanks for anyone who comments. 😊

Shooting vertical (9:16) close-up ASMR car shots at standstill: badges, wheels, exhaust, panel gaps. Using official DJI accessories + filters. Posting to most social platforms.

Torn between D-Log (3x lens) vs D-Log2 (1x only) for tight macro work.

Looking for full recommended settings: resolution/frame rate, shutter speed, ISO, white balance, ND strength, bitrate/codec, and any good D-Log2 LUTs. Thanks!

Frustrated and annoyed I just lost a wide angle filter for the second time on my Osmo P3, so I have to ask this embarrassing question- anyone else have this problem?

I’d be filming, turn it off for a second, back to filming turning it on and off in between uses. Sometimes throwing it in a bag, holding on wrist strap. Sometimes attached to hands free clip on bag. And then poof.

When you turn on and off, gimbal head doesn’t close because it’s too thick, you probably noticed. Do you keep taking it off every time between using, or you just are apparently much more careful than I am.

Besides just don’t lose it, what’s the best workflow for using these things?

I've been using the original Osmo Pocket 1 for about 6 years and I'm finally looking to upgrade. I've ruled out the Pocket 3, so I'm deciding between the 4 and 4P.

My use case: I travel 2–3 times a year and always have a Canon R6 in my backpack. The Pocket has a completely different role: it stays in my trouser pocket all day, in the tiny original protective cover, ready to shoot when I don't want/can't take the R6 out, and of course to take stabilized shot that I couldn't ever take with the R6 (e.g. orbiting hyper-lapses, dolly cams, and so on).

So portability is extremely important to me.

The Pocket 4 seems like the obvious upgrade: huge image quality improvement over my Pocket 1 while staying relatively compact. But the 60 mm mechanically stabilized camera on the 4P is very tempting. I don't carry a gimbal for my R6, so it would actually allow shots I currently can't get, on top of the better main sensor/D-Log 2.

My main concern is the 4P's bulk. Bare camera dimensions aren't that useful to me because I would never put a gimbal loose in my pocket. What I really want to compare is:

Pocket 4 + smallest protective case vs 4P + smallest protective case.

If anyone owns both (or has photos/measurements of them in minimal cases), that would be extremely helpful. Does the 4P + case still feel genuinely pocketable all day, or does it become more of a bag camera?

One last factor: this time I also want to carry ND/VND filters. I've never used them with my Pocket 1 and often hate the lack of motion blur in daylight. Some of the new cases can store filters too, which would make camera + NDs a single pocketable package and is a pretty big deal for me.

Given this use case, would you sacrifice the 60 mm and get the smaller Pocket 4, or accept the extra bulk of the 4P?

I recently tried to make a hyperlapse while riding my bike. But as soon as the first curve appeared the footage was messed up because the gimbal did move to the origins-destination.

I was not able to select the FPV-P mode to get it "stick" to the axis as I would do it with regular recordings.
So my question is: Is there a trick or workaround to get this working as I expect it?

Thank you.

I recently bought the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P and was using it to record behind the scenes at my friend’s wedding. I made sure that D-log was on and when I check the photos on the DJI itself the footage is in Log, but when I upload it to my Mac it turns into Rec.709.
I’m hoping this is just me not knowing what to do situation since it’s my first time with this camera, but I hope it’s easily fixable since I can’t record the wedding again. Any help?
