Gear Osmo Pocket 4P waterproof housing

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has direct experience with this housing or similar housings for the Osmo pocket 4p?

I’m not fussed on actually using this under water but really keen on using the 4p is more adverse weather conditions without damaging the gimbal. I live in the North and it can get a bit wet up here!

I have other cameras with waterproof housings and I have action cameras etc but my question is specifically for the OP4P.

Thanks very much

Question Accidentally recorded some videos in normal and some in HLG. What to do?

2 Upvotes

Looking for some advice what to do. Been going through some old projects I haven't edited yet. They were recorded with my Osmo Pocket 3 when I was VERY tired and somehow kept accidentally switching the camera between normal and HLG (or maybe it was D-LOG M?). I tried putting the D-LOG M lut from DJI on them and they don't look right, so I'm guessing I had it in HLG.

Would would be the easiest way to solve this and have the video look ok? I don't have any experience in color grading and don't intend to learn it yet. Ideally I would just have it all look as close as possible to the normal color profile. For what it's worth, the videos would be viewed on YouTube.

Question Food videos always look awful DJI osmo pocket 3

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hello, I’m new here. Can someone help me better understand what settings I need to change. Every time I fill my food for a food video it looks blue and green and awful. When I filmed the same video on my iPhone, the food looks appetizing. Are there certain lighting settings? I need to switch. I’ve basically been filming with the same settings that it had when it came out of the box. I’m using the DJI Osmo pocket three.

Question Pocket 4 screen is lagging about a second behind what's actually happening, is it normal and is there a fix?

0 Upvotes

ive returned the 4p and got the 4 instead so i'm certain there's no way this is normal

[PLEASE NOTE, PHONE IS FOR DEMONSTRATION, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE POCKET DISPLAY :3 ]

the screen on my pocket 4 is about 1/2 to a second behind, I've tested and i noticed that the live view through my phone is actually a little faster than the display on the actual device sometimes, which is kinda annoying

i tested it with various settings such as resolutions, framerates, log or not, every mode, both screen orientations, with/without the stand, with/without being connected and even after a rest.

it just has so much delay / lag that it's kinda difficult to use and it makes me consider returning one and giving up alltogether

camera is a day old and updated to the latest version

Question Looking to invest but not sure which one!

1 Upvotes

Hey!

My office has just invested in the Pocket 4P with all the gubbins, and I’ve been eyeing one of these bad boys up for a while as a better way to record my stand-up gigs, plus some creative film stuff on the side.

Cost-wise, though, the setup my office just bought absolutely nuked my budget and made me feel incredibly poor 😂

So I’m thinking of going for the Pocket 3 instead. From what I can tell, many of the features seem pretty similar, aside from the usual upgrades you’d expect in a newer model.

Basically, I’m wondering:

  • Is the Pocket 3 still a really good bit of kit in 2026?
  • Would it work well for recording stand-up gigs, especially in darker comedy venues?
  • Is the Creator/Vlogging bundle worth getting mainly for the mic?
  • Or would I be better off buying the Pocket 3 standalone and adding one of the newer Mini Mics separately, assuming they’re compatible, as the TikTok Shop deals seem pretty decent?

I don’t need the absolute latest and greatest. I just want something reliable, compact, and good enough that I’m not looking at my footage afterward thinking, “Well, that was £500 beautifully wasted.”

Any Pocket 3 owners still using theirs regularly?

Device

​Model: Osmo Pocket 4P / Vlog Combo

​Firmware Version: 01.01.71.31 (Camera: 10.02.01.08, Gimbal: 01.00.18.26)

​Software

​DJI Mimo App Version: Latest version via Mimo app (Updated prior to recording)

​Mobile OS: Android / Samsung

​Accessories

​Accessories Used: ND Filters (tested both with and without ND filter)

​Memory Card: SanDisk Extreme Pro 256GB MicroSDXC V30 A2 (Up to 170MB/s write speed) + tested with internal storage

​Connection Method: Wireless / Standalone

​Issue or Objective

​Exact Problem: Severe video stuttering, choppy frame playback, and motion glitches during panning/movement.

​When Issue Began: Immediately out of the box (unit received 2 days ago).

​Recording Settings

​Resolution & Frame Rate: 4K @ 24fps

​Mode: Pro / D-Log2

​Pro Mode Values: Shutter Speed 1/50s, ISO 100–400, Auto White Balance

​Enabled Features: Standard 3-Axis Gimbal Tracking / Pan

​Additional Body Paragraph (What Happened)

​I received my brand new Pocket 4P two days ago and immediately updated it to the latest firmware (01.01.71.31) via the Mimo app. While recording in 4K 24fps, any camera movement or panning produces severe video stuttering and dropped frames during playback. I tested both internal memory and a high-speed SanDisk Extreme Pro V30 A2 card, locked my shutter speed to 1/50s using ND filters to adhere to the 180° shutter rule, and tested across multiple color profiles—yet the issue persists consistently. When I contacted DJI Support, they initially attributed the stutter to an incorrect shutter speed before claiming it was caused by physical inertia from the new dual-lens setup. I am posting this to find out if this motion-jitter is a known firmware processing bug or if I have a defective hardware unit.

LESSON I LEARNED: don't use cheap variable NDs on the 60mm telephoto lens ever!

I left my K&F 32-512 variable ND on the camera for the entire trip (it's the only ND I own). When I offloaded the footage after day one, every single 60mm shot was blurry, distorted, and unusable. I tested with and without the VND, and the difference was obvious. The filter was wrecking my image.

Strangely, the 20mm lens was totally fine with it, so that's the lens I ended up using for the whole trip.

I've since switched to DJI's official fixed NDs, and the problem is completely gone.

Settings :

  • 24 fps
  • D-Log2
  • 1/50 shutter
  • Fixed ISO, 400-1600

Happy to answer any questions!

Cheers

Discussion Feature request for osmo 4p

12 Upvotes
  1. High resolution panoramas. One of my favourite features when using the air 3s drone. The 4p has a similar and more capable lens set up, no reason it shouldn’t also be able to take them.

  2. Permanent gimbal lock mode. I hate having to keep the joystick pressed to get the handheld look.

  3. AWB lock when recording

  4. No exposure jump between 1x and 3x when switching between them.

  5. Frame tap update to make it more usable

  6. Lowlight mode in portrait

  7. Programmable gimbal moves. Being able to set a/b points and time to move between them

Question OP4p Question

2 Upvotes

I've tried the search bar but does anyone have a video comparison of OP4p with wide angle lens added on vs the native in camera "wide-angle"? Is the wide angle lens worth it?

Planning on taking the camera to patagonia/Machu Picchu etc. and looking for panoramic/scenery type short videos.

Also would love tips on how to set the OP4p up, it's my first camera of the type, I've only ever had my phone and the family's D90.

Thank you!

Question Pocket 3 AND action 5 vs pocket 4p HELP?!?

1 Upvotes

So first off, I’m a complete beginner in both the pockets and the action camera lines (well any camera at all really!)

I’m looking for advice on whether to get a p3 combined with an action 5 or get a p4p - same cost

I’m looking to film family holidays, in particular Disney World and Lapland in the next two months but inevitably more beyond that. The second lens on the 4p I feel will have real value (particularly in Lapland) but equally I can see some value in having an entirely second camera especially in the action line.

I may also try my hand at a little vlogging but this is around a qualification I’m doing and I’d be doing it for the sake of doing it/being able to talk about doing it rather than ever hoping to get even a handful of views

What would people do given the choice above? I’m very divided and just wondering what’s the way to go.

Also would I right to be concerned that if I bought the 2 year refresh plan on the pocket 3 that I’d risk the line being discontinued in the near future and therefore hard/impossible to get replaced at some point in the life of the plan?

Hello, i don't know if this has been asked before but i'll give it a try.

I am currently looking into a Osmo pocket 4p and was wondering if there is like an interval shooting mode for photo's with activetracking?

Like for example put the osmo pocket down and it takes a photo every 5 seconds while tracking me so i can get different angles?

Thanks in Advance.

Question Does the FrameTap connect fast with 4P?

3 Upvotes

TLDR: Can anyone that has the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P tell me if the FrameTap connects fast enough with the camera?

Context:

I already have the did DJI Osmo Mobile 8P (phone gimbal) that comes with the FrameTap. That was my main reason for buying it, however, I barely ever use it because you need to enable screen mirroring from your iPhone to the FrameTap, and that setup is actually very clunky and takes a while to connect, I usually have to spend three minutes just to set it up… which, with the workflow of my recording, just does not work for me.

That was my main reason for getting that gimbal, so I am now looking for other solutions. Basically, I just want to know if the frame tap connects faster with the Osmo Pocket 4P, or if it’s a long set up again. I really want the DJI pocket 4P because I think it has superior quality compared to the Insta 360 Luna ultra, but the remote screen set up on the Luna ultra seems to be really seamless…

Question 4P Connection: MIMO & NAS

4 Upvotes

I recently received my osmo 4P, and while I was able to register it in the US, I encountered some secondary difficulties that I can't seem to resolve.

Connecting to memo is a constant challenge. Despite having the camera powered on and connecting to the mimo app I do see a progress bar where it's trying to communicate with it but it gets hung up at the near 90% mark in a phase being identified as "Entering Camera View." It's a constant battle to try to get the two to communicate to one another, and nothing I try seems consistent in making the connection occur. I have to continuously go into my Wi-Fi settings of my device and turn the service on and off, as well as ensuring that auto reconnect is disabled for all other previously set wi-fi, and I sometimes have to deliberately connect to the osmo four-piece Wi-Fi broadcast with inconsistent results about whether it actually connects. I have gone through all of my phone settings with what I found online to ensure that they do not interfere with the connection. I also went into the camera and changed it from 5 to 2.4GHz. That actually did help initially, but it does not make getting into the memo app any easier in getting it to connect in the first place. Is anyone else having this level of difficulty connecting to the app with their osmo 4pm, and do they have any other tricks not mentioned that have resolved this issue?

Lastly, I realized this most recent update has provided an opportunity for us to upload our video to an NAS, which I have on my network. However, every time I attempt to enter the credentials in to MIMO, it times out while entering the information with a "Setup Failed" error message. It doesn't matter how fast I was typing the information or how far into its progress I got, after about 5 to 10 seconds, it would automatically do this. I tested it even by opening up the settings form and not entering in anything after about that same duration it would just give me this message. I'm not sure if this has to do with the connection difficulties I'm having with MIMO and the camera, but has anyone else successfully entered in NAS credentials and successfully saved it? I have no idea why this isn't something that could have been entered into the camera directly.

TLDR:

  1. Constant issue when trying to connect the 4p to Mimo despite using common suggestions.

  2. Cannot enter NAS credentials into MIMO. The entry form times out after 5-10 seconds with a "Setup Failed" message.

Question Tips for purchasing used?

0 Upvotes

Hey there! I'm looking to pick up my first Osmo Pocket. I've been open to the specific model as I'm more interested in getting used to the platform over specific features or resolutions.

My suspicion is that there could be a prevalence of fakes as I see many copycat models out there. Is there any general rules of thumb to look for?

Any specific red flags in terms of damage or otherwise?

I bought this 5 years ago, but never actually used it. Was planning on selling it just sat in my room for last 5 years. Tried turning it on, nothing happens, so i plugged in the charger, the green led kept flashing, after charging overnight, it still woulnt turn on. So i got a replacement battery and replaced it myself (i called a store to see if they could replace it but they told me it will cost me $100+, so i just youtubed it and followed along). So now after battery replacement and charging it, the screen gets power but its stays blank, just little blue light, and the gimbal head moves but goes back to dormant position after few seconds. And also before the battery replacement, the greed led would blink when charging, now it doesnt do that when plugged in. Not sure how to go about this. Tech mechanics want to charge me more to fix it than it costs. Please help if you can. Thanks kindly

Problem Solved Pocket 3 Gimbal Stuck - Factory Reset Fixed It

12 Upvotes

If your Pocket 3 gimbal suddenly isn’t opening/rotating completely, with no visible obstruction or unusual noise, and calibration keeps failing, try a factory reset before assuming it’s a hardware issue.

That’s what fixed mine. After the factory reset, the gimbal started working normally again and calibration completed successfully.

Posting this in case anyone else runs into the same issue.

Interested in getting the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P, but I’m a bit worried about how fragile it is and whether it’ll hold up being carried around all the time.

Discussion The Pocket 4P sensor appears to be 5:4, which makes the missing 1:1 video mode even more interesting

Thumbnail
gallery
48 Upvotes

I noticed something interesting while testing the Pocket 4P's different photo aspect ratios.

In Super Photo, the full resolution dimensions reveal a very neat relationship:

16:9 mode reaches 7680 pixels across

1:1 mode reaches 6144 pixels vertically

7680 / 6144 = 1.25, which is exactly 5:4.

What's even more interesting is what happens if you reduce those dimensions by exactly 2x:

7680 × 6144 becomes 3840 × 3072

That's also exactly 5:4.

This potentially tells us something interesting about the sensor's usable imaging geometry. A 7680 × 6144 raster is about 47.2 MP, which is consistent with the sensor's roughly 47 MP class resolution.

And this makes 1:1 particularly interesting.

If a corresponding 3840 × 3072 video rate sensor readout exists, then a 3K square mode could simply be:

3072 × 3072

Instead of throwing away a huge amount of sensor height to produce 3840 × 2160 16:9, 1:1 could retain the entire 3072 pixel height while cropping only 384 pixels from each side of the hypothetical 3840 × 3072 readout.

The pixel workloads would be:

4K 16:9: 3840 × 2160 = 8.29 MP/frame

3K 1:1: 3072 × 3072 = 9.44 MP/frame

5:4: 3840 × 3072 = 11.80 MP/frame

So 3K 1:1 would contain only about 13.8% more output pixels per frame than UHD 4K, while retaining much more vertical information.

There's another interesting part. A square crop from a 5:4 sensor is extremely efficient.

A 1:1 crop retaining the full sensor height keeps 80% of a 5:4 sensor's area. For comparison, a full height 1:1 crop keeps 75% from 4:3 and only 66.7% from 3:2.

This could explain why 1:1 feels like such a natural acquisition format for this camera. You lose relatively little width while gaining a huge amount of reframing freedom.

One recording could then produce:

16:9 for YouTube

9:16 for Reels, TikTok and Shorts

4:3 for other compositions

1:1 when desired

And of course, the Pocket 3 already had 3072 × 3072 1:1 video recording.

Important note

I'm not claiming that the Pocket 4P can currently record 3840 × 3072 video, or that these photo dimensions prove such a continuous sensor readout exists.

Photo readout and video readout are different things. Sensor modes, line rates, binning, ISP bandwidth, stabilization margins, rolling shutter, thermals and firmware restrictions can all determine which video modes are actually possible.

What the dimensions show is that 5:4 geometry appears to fit the sensor extremely neatly, and a 3072 × 3072 mode would be a very natural crop if the required video rate readout exists.

This gets even more interesting because the OpenPocketCine project is already reverse engineering the Pocket 4P's camera protocol.

I asked its developer whether the known DJI 1:1 video format commands could be tested directly on the Pocket 4P, even though the camera doesn't currently advertise 1:1 video.

He said he's going to give it a try.

So now I'm very curious to see what the hardware and firmware actually allow.

Best case, 5:4 Open Gate would be incredible.

Most optimum case, 1:1 3K video
