DJI’s pocket gimbal camera looks set for a refresh. As the Osmo Pocket 3 hits its two-year mark and continues to sell for around $543, a flurry of new leaks is painting a clearer picture of what the Osmo Pocket 4 might bring to vloggers and creators.
Multiple sightings and images shared on Chinese social platforms suggest a refined, more ergonomic design. A close-up comparison photo of the two generations shows the Osmo Pocket 4 standing a touch taller than the current model while appearing slightly narrower and thinner. Another recurring detail is a new arrangement of physical controls: the leaked chassis seems to add extra hardware buttons compared to the Osmo Pocket 3, hinting at quicker access to key functions without diving into menus.
The camera has even been spotted in use publicly, reportedly in Barcelona, which aligns with the growing chatter that the device may have already entered mass production. That timing would make sense if DJI is targeting a late-year or early-next-year rollout, though nothing official has been announced.
What’s new, at a glance:
– Subtle size shift: a bit taller, but narrower and slimmer than the current model
– More physical controls: an extra set of hardware buttons for improved handling
– Real-world sightings: units seen in public use, reinforcing the idea of mass production
– Key details still unknown: no confirmed release date or pricing yet
For creators debating whether to buy the Osmo Pocket 3 or wait, these leaks suggest the focus of the next model could be usability and control layout rather than a radical redesign. If true, expect incremental but meaningful improvements aimed at faster operation and better one-handed shooting.
Until official specs and pricing land, the safest takeaway is that the Osmo Pocket 4 appears to be getting close—and that DJI is prioritizing a sleeker body with more tactile control for on-the-go content creation.
