DJI Confirms Osmo Pocket 4 Launches April 16 — Single Camera, "The World In My Pocket"

DJI just made it official. A teaser posted to the DJI Global X account on April 9 confirms the Osmo Pocket 4 launches April 16 at 12PM GMT. The tagline is "The World In My Pocket." The wait is almost over.
One week away. And the teaser already answered one big question.
Key Points
- DJI officially confirmed Osmo Pocket 4 launches April 16 at 12PM GMT — global availability expected around April 20
- The teaser confirms a single-camera design on the gimbal head — settling months of speculation about a dual-lens setup
- A Pocket 4 Pro with dual cameras is a separate product — expected May or June 2026 with no confirmed US availability
- Specs confirmed via retail packaging: 1-inch sensor, 14-stop dynamic range, 107GB internal storage at 800MB/s, 2x lossless zoom, 4-channel audio
- Pricing expected at $499 for the base model — FCC clearance confirms US availability through normal retail channels
The Teaser Settled the Camera Debate
For months, the community speculated about whether the Pocket 4 would add a second lens to the gimbal head. The teaser answers that directly. One camera. Single lens. The dual-camera concept lives on in the Pocket 4 Pro — a separate device with its own FCC filing and no confirmed US launch window.
That's actually the right call for the standard model. The Pocket 3 succeeded because it did one thing exceptionally well. Keeping the Pocket 4 focused on a single excellent camera maintains that philosophy.
Everything Already Confirmed From Leaked Packaging
The retail box has been floating around online for weeks. The spec sheet printed on it is specific enough to report with confidence. Fourteen stops of dynamic range is a jump from the Pocket 3. One hundred and seven gigabytes of built-in storage at 800MB/s means most creators will never need a memory card. Two times lossless zoom uses a sensor crop — no quality loss. Four-channel audio replaces the stereo setup on the Pocket 3.
The first unboxing video that surfaced shows a dedicated zoom button, a programmable custom button, and a smart fill light included in the box. No microSD card slot visible on the packaging — DJI appears to have removed it entirely in favor of internal storage.
April 16 China, April 20 Global
The split timing matters for international buyers. April 16 is China's date. April 20 lands during NAB week — an ideal moment to capture attention from professional video creators. Both dates point to a company that knows exactly what it's doing with the launch calendar.
At $499 against Insta360's Luna — which still hasn't shipped — DJI is about to lock up this category for another product cycle.
