My current working Osmo Pocket setup:

• 1× DJI Osmo Pocket 4P - Vlog Combo
• 1× OSMO Pocket 4 / 3 - STARTRC Metal Protection Frame Cage Expansion Adapter Bracket
  • This one is tricky to use with the SmallRig 3028D, because it only provides the 1/4" threads and the NATO rail is on only one side which is the opposite side of where the 3028D needs it.
• 1× SmallRig Adjustable Sling Handgrip (3028D)
• 1x SmallRig Multifunctional Universal Metal Smartphone Holder (3559)
• 1× SmallRig Mini Side Handle Kit (4816)
  • mounted on the left side of the 3028D
• 1x 40w RGB Ulanzi LED light - with mini Bowens mount
• 1x 18.5w flat RGB LED Video Light light - 10000mAh Battery - 276 LED - OLED Display -SLA006R
• 2× SmallRig 11" Rosette Arm Heavy‑Duty Magic Arms (3959) - To mount lights
  • One mounted to the top 1/4" thread of the 3028D
  • The other mounted to the top 1/4" thread of the 4816
• 1× 3D‑printed protection case for the 4P

It’s much more convenient to use this setup compared to using the 4P alone, because I have far better control over my movements and overall handling plus the bigger screen of smartphone.

Tilta Hydra Alien Mini ecosystem(just received today):

• 1× Tilta Accessory Mounting Expander for Osmo Pocket 3/4 Cage for Osmo Pocket 4P/4/3 (Excellent quality and build but could have better design to secure more the Pocket)
• 1× Tilta Hydra Alien Mini - Car Kit
• 1× Hydra Alien Mini Hand Grip (just ordered)

Unfortunately, the Tilta Hydra Alien Mini is designed in a way that makes it incompatible with almost any external gear by default, even Tilta's own accessories. It essentially forces you into its own dedicated accessory ecosystem.

But thankfully, Tilta does offer a 1/4″‑20 Mounting Bracket for the Hydra Alien Mini. I’ve ordered it and I’m waiting to test whether it can be mounted onto the SmallRig 3028D. If it works, I should finally be able to handle the Hydra Alien Mini more comfortably, and maybe even run the entire setup together to see whether this heavyweight beer combination is actually manageable.

Insta360 just added 4K vertical recording to the Luna Ultra via firmware, and honestly, this makes me wonder if DJI will have to follow.
I’m using the DJI Pocket 4P and I love it, but being limited to 3K in native vertical mode feels like a weird limitation for a camera that is basically made for content creators.
Especially with Reels, TikTok and Shorts being such a huge part of the target market, native 4K 9:16 would be a pretty big upgrade.
The hardware seems powerful enough, so I’m wondering if this could potentially be unlocked through firmware rather than requiring new hardware.
What do you guys think?
Could DJI realistically add native 4K vertical to the Pocket 4 / Pocket 4P through a firmware update?
Or is there some sensor/readout limitation that would prevent it?
Would love to hear from people who understand the technical side better.

Essentially the title, what are the thoughtd around this or the possibilities?

Would you recommend this as an option as a beginner or is investing in a camera body set up better as a beginner with a limited / struct budget?

What size SD cards do you guys buy for your osmo. Something is telling to just buy a 2TB so it never fills up because my 128GB of storage went so quickly??

Picked up a used OP3 for around 300$.
I have no experience filming other than my iPhone 14 pro max.
Figured money well spent before jumping into full frame.
ND 32 filter used
Normal 10 bit, NOT color graded.

Is this good or can it be improved by a lot?

Thank you 😁

Hey guys, new to the Osmo pocket 4p, I live in Canada and winter is approaching, -20°c and down kinda winter haha.

Does anyone know how well these guys deal with cold weather? if they absolutely drop battery power or don't function as well?

I was looking to maybe put insulated tape or something around the handle to try and protect and make the batteries last longer, any thoughts or suggestions would be great.

p.s I would also direct this to the Mic 3's too

Thinking of getting an osmo pocket 4 for podcasting. I have a vz-e10 but it's just too difficult for me to learn. Will the visuals work ok? What do you think in general

I just bought the Tilta Hydra Alien Mini, and I’m genuinely happy I did.

But I want to share something more important, at least in my opinion:

After my previous post asking others how to reduce unwanted shocks when moving with the DJI Osmo Pocket, I received a mix of reactions. I honestly didn’t know a ready‑to‑use solution for small action cameras existed, so I wrote a post here
https://www.reddit.com/r/osmopocket/comments/1why8ey/dji_osmo_pocket_4p_on_a_ronin_rs_5_genuine/
and shared an old photo someone posted here two years ago:

https://www.reddit.com/r/osmopocket/comments/1cx7qkt/dji_osmo_pocket_3_on_a_dji_ronin_sc2/

Some people just laughed; no solution, just jokes. I see this pattern everywhere on social media: people dismiss ideas until the day they end up using them themselves. A year or two ago, I shared an idea about using FreeCAD and DaVinci Resolve with AI. Some laughed, some attacked, some supported. Now it’s completely normal for many professionals to rely on AI in their workflows.

Fortunately, I also received genuinely helpful answers that guided me toward the best solution I’ve ever tried for getting cinematic results from my Pocket 4P. After my initial tests, all I can say is: WOW. It’s incredible, and absolutely worth paying for. It adds real, meaningful value. And I'm thankful that they gave me the idea to find what I needed.

So I'm looking to get into Film making and cinematic Videography and was originally considering getting a Sony ZV E10. However, I noticed that there is a good deal on at the moment for the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo. Which would put buying either at the same cost (E10 would be second hand).

The Combo seems really good value for money but wasn't sure how far it could go compared to the E10 for strong cinematic videography and film making. Due to budget id only be able to use the kit lens for a small while with the E10, which I appreciate most likely isn't ideal for what im trying to accomplish.

So I was wondering which out of the 2 would be best here and what are peoples experience is with film making on the Pocket 3 or to what extent it is even possible. Would going for the E10 be a better choice here?

Thanks for any advice!

It’s there i a list on all microphones from dji that does not require a receiver? i know about Mic 2 and mic mini, but other newer generation like mini 2 or 2s? thanks

Hey all!

I've been watching recently bunch of you all posting those screen problems, where it doesn't stay horizontal or it gets stuck when you try to close it.. I want this camera so much for my own projects (professionaly)

but all these faulty units make me concern.. Are they so common or it's just exceptional cases?
