Feiyu is getting ready to unveil its next pocket-sized gimbal camera, and it’s shaping up to be a compelling budget-friendly alternative to the DJI Osmo Pocket 4. The new Feiyu Pocket 4 is expected to be revealed between May 15 and May 18, with early details pointing to meaningful upgrades designed for everyday creators, travelers, and anyone who wants stabilized 4K video without paying premium flagship prices.
One of the most eye-catching changes is the Pocket 4’s display. Feiyu is reportedly using a 2.64-inch touchscreen paired with a clever slide-to-power design. Instead of relying solely on buttons, the camera powers on when you slide the screen down. Slide it back up and it helps protect the gimbal when the device is turned off. If this works as smoothly as it sounds, it could make quick shooting much easier while also reducing the worry of damaging the gimbal during transport.
On the imaging side, the Feiyu Pocket 4 is expected to feature a 1/1.55-inch CMOS sensor. That’s a notable spec for a compact gimbal camera and should help with detail and low-light performance compared to smaller sensors. Rumors suggest it will capture 50MP photos and record 4K video at up to 60fps, which is a sweet spot for sharp footage and smoother motion. The camera is also said to include AI-powered face tracking, a feature many users rely on for vlogging, family videos, and solo shooting where keeping the subject centered matters.
Storage is another area where the Pocket 4 could stand out in its price class. It’s expected to include 64GB of built-in storage, which can be a real convenience for quick trips or casual recording sessions when you don’t want to fuss with memory cards right away.
Feiyu is also teasing what it calls an “industry-leading” 450-degree range of motion. The exact real-world advantage isn’t fully clear yet, but it suggests the gimbal may offer more flexibility for creative angles, dynamic movement shots, or broader tracking behavior than typical compact stabilizers.
People attending the event at the Beijing Exhibition Centre will likely be among the first to see the final design and hear about regional availability. And since the Feiyu Pocket 3 has been sold broadly in the US and Europe, a wider international release for the Pocket 4 seems likely as well.
Pricing will be a major part of the story. The Feiyu Pocket 3 Remote Handle Kit has typically sat around the €300/$300 level since launch, and the Pocket 4 isn’t expected to cost much more than that—especially because it needs to stay affordable to compete against popular high-end pocket gimbal cameras like the Osmo Pocket 4 and the Insta360 Luna Pro. If Feiyu can deliver these specs and features while keeping the price aggressive, the Pocket 4 could become one of the most interesting portable 4K gimbal cameras to watch this month.
