For the last couple of months, rumors about the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 (the potential successor to the DJI Osmo Pocket 3) have been making the rounds online. Although the Chinese manufacturer has kept its lips sealed on the subject, there is evidence online to suggest that the Osmo Pocket 4 may drop sooner than expected — perhaps before the end of this year.
To fuel the speculation, a new leak from a reliable source shows the Osmo Pocket 4 in action, next to its predecessor. Igor Bogdanov (@Quadro_News on X) took to the social media platform to share this video, which is more hi-res than any other we’ve seen so far.

Although Bogdanov has chosen not to elaborate further on the unreleased gimbal camera, he has explicitly mentioned the product’s full name. So, what can we garner from the short clip? Firstly, it looks like the Osmo Pocket 4 houses a bigger camera than the Osmo Pocket 3.

While online users are speculating that the Osmo Pocket 4 will feature two cameras instead of one, we can’t say that for certain until we get a good look of the front — and I can’t imagine that happening before DJI officially announces the Osmo Pocket 4. We can also see that the Osmo Pocket 4 will retain its predecessor’s rotatable display, which can be used to shoot either landscape or portrait video.

So, when is the Osmo Pocket 4 dropping? There hasn’t been any official mention of it, but we know that the Osmo Pocket 4 has been formally registered with the FCC. A launch could, then, be imminent, and we might even see it before the end of the year — this gives DJI three weeks before 2026 begins, or two weeks if the DJI drone ban goes through in the U.S. on 23 December.

FCC documents, however, don’t reveal much else in terms of video specs, but they do indicate that the Osmo Pocket 4 will host a bigger, nearly-20% battery upgrade, mentioning a 1,545mAh battery. For context, the Osmo Pocket 3 houses a 1,300mAh battery. Again, this is speculation, and we won’t know the exact details until DJI’s official product page goes live.
It remains to be seen whether we’ll see the Osmo Pocket 4 before we enter the new year, but if you can’t wait for that, you can buy an Osmo Pocket 3 for 34% off at Amazon right now, so it’s down to just $528. We awarded the camera 4.5 stars in our Osmo Pocket 3 review, commending it for its awesome stabilization, 4K video, strong low-light performance, superb build, and more.
