As of February 2026, the buzz around the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 has reached a fever pitch. While DJI hasn’t officially confirmed the device, recent leaks and regulatory filings paint a very clear picture of what’s coming.
If you have watched my YouTube channel you will know I love the DJI pocket 3, It has made my life a lot easier to produce my videos. So I’m so looking forward to the new model.
Do bear in mind these are rumours, all of the following is what I have found online from various sources. Even the image above is an ai impression of what it will look like (I personally don’t use AI for images, but I can’t take a photo of a rumour 😂)
Here is the breakdown of the most credible rumors and the expected release timeline.
Expected Release Date
The most recent leaks point to a two-phase rollout in early 2026:
- Standard Model: Expected to launch in late February to March 2026.
- Pro Model: Rumors suggest a more advanced version may follow in April to June 2026.
This timeline is backed by FCC filings (which usually happen weeks before a product hits shelves) and leaked warehouse inventory screenshots suggesting units are already moving through the supply chain.
Top Rumors & Leaked Specs
The biggest surprise this year is the rumor of two distinct versions for the first time: a Standard and a “Pro” edition.
| Feature | Rumored Specification |
|---|---|
| Dual-Camera System | The Pro model is rumored to feature a dual-lens setup (Wide + Telephoto), allowing for optical zoom without losing quality. |
| Video Resolution | A bump to 6K recording on the standard 1-inch sensor, with 4K slow motion at 120fps. |
| Native Vertical Video | Leaks suggest the gimbal might support a true vertical mode (physical rotation) to capture 4K social media content without cropping. |
| Battery Life | FCC filings reveal a 1,545 mAh battery, a significant jump from the Pocket 3’s 1,300 mAh. |
| AI Integration | Expected to feature ActiveTrack 7.0, which reportedly uses improved AI to track subjects even in crowded or low-light environments. |
| Physical Controls | Leaked images show the signature rotating screen, but with two new physical buttons added below the display for faster mode switching. |
Why the hype?
The Pocket 3 was such a massive success that DJI is reportedly under pressure from competitors like Insta360 (rumored to be making a rival gimbal camera) and Sony. By introducing a “Pro” model with optical zoom, DJI is aiming to bridge the gap between vlogging tools and professional cinema cameras.
Note: Because these are leaks, specific dates can shift if DJI decides to wait for a major event like a spring keynote or if they face regional shipping hurdles.
Would you like me to compare these rumored specs to the current Pocket 3 to see if it’s worth waiting for you?
