DJI's Osmo Pocket 4P trades 8K for a larger sensor and lower price

The new Pocket 4P adds a 1‑inch sensor and 4K slow‑mo but falls short of Insta360’s 8K Luna Ultra.

DJI unveiled its dual‑camera Osmo Pocket 4P, pricing it at ¥3,799 (about $562) for Chinese pre‑orders.

The Pocket 4P swaps the 8K video of Insta360’s Luna Ultra for a 1‑inch sensor that promises better dynamic range and 4K slow‑motion capture. The device retains the pocket‑sized gimbal design but adds a second camera for basic depth mapping. At launch it retails for roughly $562 in China, undercutting the Luna Ultra’s $770 list price, though global pricing remains unconfirmed.

The move signals DJI’s pivot from pure resolution bragging to improved image quality in a familiar form factor. Competitors like Insta360 have chased 8K to differentiate, but the larger sensor may appeal to creators who value low‑light performance and smoother slow‑mo. For a market saturated with ultra‑high‑resolution specs, DJI’s pricing could force rivals to justify their premium on features beyond megapixels.

If the Pocket 4P reaches international shelves at a comparable discount, it could reshape the pocket‑gimbal niche, nudging buyers toward sensor size over raw resolution.
