DJI introduced Osmo Pocket 4 with a 1-inch sensor and 4K/240fps! We know the Czech prices

When DJI launched the Osmo Pocket 3 pocket camera in 2023, it became a very popular tool for vloggers, travelers, and social media content creators. Now, after three years, the fourth generation arrives, taking the best from its predecessor and adding a few noticeable improvements. The Osmo Pocket 4 officially enters the Czech market, and its starting price of 12,990 CZK unsurprisingly places it among the more premium pocket cameras on the market.

New sensor, new lens, 4K at 240 frames

The key new feature is a completely redesigned 1-inch CMOS sensor with an equivalent focal length of 20 mm and an aperture of f/2.0. Although the chip size remained at the Pocket 3 level, DJI promises better low-light performance and, most importantly, a dynamic range of up to 14 EV, values that would have been sufficient for a semi-professional camera just a few years ago. Naturally, a 10-bit D-Log profile is also available, allowing even demanding users to direct footage into color-graded post-production.

The camera now supports recording 4K video at up to 240 frames per second, which means eight times smooth slow-motion footage in full resolution. For standard recording, you can achieve 4K at 24, 25, 30, 48, 50, or 60 FPS. Photographers will appreciate 37-megapixel images with a resolution of 7,680 × 4,320 px and DNG RAW format support. Lossless 2x zoom works in 4K, while 4x zoom works in 1080p resolution.

Larger and brighter display, new zoom button

Another significant change is the two-inch OLED display with a resolution of 556 × 314 pixels and a maximum brightness of 1,000 nits. Compared to its predecessor, which only managed 700 nits, this is a noticeable improvement that you will especially appreciate when shooting outdoors in bright sunlight. Furthermore, the display can rotate between landscape and portrait orientation, making the Pocket 4 an ideal companion for content creators on TikTok and YouTube.

DJI has added a new physical zoom button to the controls – a single press switches between 1× and 2× preview, a double press activates 4× zoom. There is also a separate button for custom presets, which you activate by holding it down, and a five-way joystick with adjustable speed. Among the smarter features, ActiveTrack 7.0 is worth mentioning, which can now track objects even at 4× zoom, as well as Spotlight Follow and Dynamic Framing modes for automatic shot composition.

No more endless searching for memory cards

Perhaps the most practical new feature is the built-in storage with a capacity of 107 GB. Anyone who has ever recorded 4K footage on a weaker microSD card and watched the camera desperately struggle due to slow write speeds knows this is a big deal. Data transfer to a computer occurs at speeds of up to 800 MB/s via the included USB-C cable. The camera can, of course, also work with a standard microSD card up to 1 TB, but for the first time in this series, you don’t necessarily need to buy anything extra.

Wireless connectivity is handled by Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth LE 5.4. The 1,545 mAh battery promises up to 240 minutes of recording in 1080p at 24 FPS – the reality when shooting 4K will naturally be much more modest. Fortunately, the battery can be charged from zero to 80% in 18 minutes, with a full charge taking about half an hour, but to achieve these times, you need a 65W charger, which DJI sells separately.

Price, packages, and Americans left empty-handed

In Czech stores, you will find the Osmo Pocket 4 in two variants. The basic Standard Combo for 12,990 CZK includes the camera itself, a USB-C cable, a gimbal protector, a wrist strap, a 1/4″ thread handle, and a carrying case. For more serious content creators, there’s the Creator Combo, which DJI bundles with a DJI Mic 3 wireless microphone, an auxiliary light, a wide-angle lens, and a small Osmo Mini tripod.
