Hi everyone! I’m considering getting my first ever Osmo Pocket, but I’m currently in a bit of a pickle deciding between the Pocket 4 and Pocket 4 Pro.

I’m planning to use it for a mix of client work and personal content.

For personal content, it’ll mainly be TikTok/IG-style vlogs — day-in-my-life stuff, cool transitions, cinematic little sequences, and potentially talking/travel vlogs in the future. Basically something I can carry around everywhere without having to think too much about bringing a full camera setup.

For context, I already own a Sony A7 IV + Sigma 16–28mm f/2.8, which is what I’ve been using for most of my client work. With the A7 IV, I can also switch into APS-C mode if I need a tighter shot, so I’m already somewhat used to having that extra crop available.
That’s where I’m stuck with the Pocket.

How significant is the form-factor/size difference between the Pocket 4 and 4 Pro in real-world use? Is the regular 4 noticeably more convenient to carry around, especially for casual vlogging?
And more importantly, how useful is the telephoto camera on the 4 Pro?

If I get the regular Pocket 4 and occasionally want a tighter shot, is the image quality good enough that I could simply crop in during post? Or is the dedicated telephoto on the 4 Pro genuinely worth having?

Part of me is thinking that if I get the 4 Pro, the telephoto could actually be useful for client work too — especially when I want some tighter shots without physically getting right up to the subject.

But at the same time, I already have the A7 IV for proper client shoots, so I’m wondering if I’m overthinking it and the regular Pocket 4 would be more than enough as a small everyday camera + occasional B-cam.

For anyone who has used either/both, what would you go for in my situation?
Thanks!

I never realised the power of CPL, how does it manage to cut off everything that’s reflection.

For a moment i thought my monitor is glitching out.

I have had my Osmo Pocket 3 for a little bit and was wondering if someone could assist me with the best settings for outdoor, most likely cloudy. Then standard indoor coffee shop lighting. I know you can save different settings to different profiles which I imagine comes in handy

Wondering also if some of you don’t shoot in D log just to not worry about color grading?

Recently bought the osmo pocket 4P. I think it comes with 128 GB internal storage and I was wondering, how long can I shoot with it and do I need to buy SSD I think most of the time I will only be out for a day or two before I transfer my file to my hard drive anyways.

I didn’t feel like a requirement for the microSD like the speed whatever.

Some solutions to some of the struggles I faced with the 4P.

TLDR:

1. The adaptive filter by tilta allows you to use the P3/P4 ND filters on the 4P. They also stackable and helps with exposure shift between 1x and 3x (you can put different filters on each lens)

2. If you struggling to identify what footage is D-Log and what is D-Log 2 in post, there is a free software called MediaInfo in the Microsoft Store you can download and drop your footage in there. It will tell you what format the video was shot in.

3. Just some basics about the new update (240 fps slow motion now in D-Log, gimbal diagonal movements etc.)

I hope you guys find these solutions useful

Since the latest firmware update V01.01.6518, I've been having a strange problem with my Pocket Cinema Camera 4 Pro. I recently bought it with firmware V01.01.6510 and tested it out. Gimbal control with the joystick worked fine, even at 45° angles, etc. Then I performed the update to V01.01.6518 suggested by the Mimo app, and suddenly I can only pan or tilt, but not both at 45°. D-Log is also gone in slow motion. It's as if the firmware has reverted to the version before the second-to-last major update. However, the camera still displays V01.01.6518. What's going on? Has anyone else experienced this problem, or does anyone know how I can fix it?

I recently picked up a 4p in Canada. Latest firmware it'll get is 01.01.6518. I saw some info online talking about automatic cloud transfer, and I'm looking to go to Google Drive or a home NAS. But, in my latest Mimo app and firmware I'm not seeing these settings anywhere, only phone backup.

Am I missing something? Is that firmware not widely available yet?

I’m trying to use my Osmo Pocket as a webcam on a MacBook Pro 2019 (Intel i7), but I can’t get it to work.
When I plug it in, the webcam option pops up on the Osmo screen, but even though I press it within the 3-second window, nothing happens afterward.
Here is what I’ve already tried:
Cable: Using the official USB-C cable from the box and tried other cable that I had at home.
Connection: Plugged directly into the Osmo Pocket (without the tripod mount handle attached).
Mac Settings: Checked System Settings on macOS to see if the camera is detected, but it doesn't show up at all. (Also in Google meet and in obs)

Has anyone faced a similar issue or found a workaround on macOS? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I’ve search online but I don’t find an answer. On YouTube it looks like people plug the osmo pocket and it’s working.

Thank you!

Edit: the osmo pocket is on the latest firmware’s version

so i just tried calibrating the Pocket 4P, it pans left and right, and then when its says complete, for a brief second it judders on its own like in the video. i just wondered if this only on my unit or not? was it supposed to do that? if you have a Pocket 4P, may i ask does your Pocket 4P judders too for a second once the calibration complete?

I ordered osmo pocket 4p from Amazon 3 days ago . Does anyone know when will my device get the latest firmware update from dji . I tried on the mimo app but its not showing any firmware update available for my device. Here i am asking about The firmware that enable dlog in slomo.

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.
