DJI has been on an absolute tear lately when it comes to camera technology, and today they have officially pulled the wraps off their latest handheld marvel. The Osmo Pocket 4 is here, and it brings some serious heat to the compact camera market with a massive jump in imaging performance.<\/p>\n

For those of us who have lived with the previous versions, we know the form factor is king. Having a 3-axis stabilised camera that actually fits in your pocket is a game changer for vlogging and capturing family moments without the bulk of a mirrorless rig.<\/p>\n

The headline feature this time around is a significant boost to the frame rates and sensor performance. While the 1-inch CMOS sensor remains the heart of the device, it now pumps out 4K footage at a blistering 240fps for some of the smoothest slow-motion we have ever seen from a device this size.<\/p>\n

Pro-grade imaging in your palm<\/h2>\n

It is not just about speed, though, as DJI has focused heavily on image quality and dynamic range. The Osmo Pocket 4 delivers 14 stops of dynamic range, which is getting into the territory of dedicated cinema cameras.<\/p>\n

Coupled with the 10-bit D-Log colour profile, creators are going to have a lot more flexibility when they sit down to grade their footage. Whether you are shooting in the harsh Australian sun or at a dim restaurant, the f\/2.0 aperture and improved sensor tech help keep those low-light shots remarkably clean.<\/p>\n

One of the best improvements for those of us who hate carrying extra gear is the straight-out-of-camera quality. DJI has refined the way the sensor handles skin tones, making them look healthier and more natural even in high-contrast lighting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Smarter tracking and better focus<\/h2>\n

The Osmo Pocket 4 introduces ActiveTrack 7.0, and it is a massive step forward for solo creators. You can now track subjects even when using 4x zoom, which is impressive given the physical constraints of a gimbal this small.<\/p>\n

The new Subject Lock Tracking is particularly clever as it allows the camera to stay glued to a specific person even if they move through a busy crowd. If you need to switch focus, a simple tap on the screen swaps the priority to a new subject instantly.<\/p>\n

Gesture controls have also seen an upgrade for those times you are standing in front of the lens. Throwing up a palm gesture starts the tracking, while a peace sign will trigger a photo or start the recording, making the tripod experience much more seamless.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Refined hardware and more storage<\/h2>\n

DJI has clearly listened to user feedback regarding the physical interface of the device. We still get the iconic rotating screen to kick off a recording session, but there are some new physical controls that make life a lot easier.<\/p>\n

There is now a dedicated Zoom button for quick jumps between 1x, 2x, and 4x magnification. Beside it sits a custom preset button that you can map to your favourite shooting modes, saving you from digging through menus when the action is happening.<\/p>\n

Storage has also received a massive boost with 107GB of built-in memory now included. This means you can actually get out and shoot without worrying if you left your microSD card in the card reader at home, and the 800MB\/s transfer speeds mean you won\u2019t be waiting around to get that footage onto your computer.<\/p>\n

Battery and charging performance<\/h2>\n

Power is always a concern with small devices, but DJI has pushed the boundaries here as well. The Osmo Pocket 4 can now charge from 0 to 80% in just 18 minutes, which is fast enough to top up over a quick coffee break.<\/p>\n

When you have a full charge, you can expect up to 240 minutes of recording at 1080p\/24fps. Even if you are pushing the higher resolutions, the three-hour runtime should be more than enough for a solid day of vlogging.<\/p>\n

For those looking to level up their audio, the device is fully compatible with the OsmoAudio ecosystem. It supports direct connection to the DJI Mic 3 and Mic Mini, allowing for 4-channel audio recording without needing a bunch of extra receivers hanging off the side.<\/p>\n

Pricing and Australian availability<\/h2>\n

If you are looking to pick one of these up, you won\u2019t have to wait long at all. Pre-orders are live today, with the official shipping and retail availability starting on April 22nd.<\/p>\n

The pricing for the Australian market is quite competitive considering the tech packed inside:<\/p>\n
