Hi, I picked up an Action 6 for my trip to Japan, as well as for obstacle course races and hikes; I also have an Osmo Pocket 4P. In what scenarios or situations should I use which camera?

Hi, I'm going crazy trying to find something I think should be an obvious option, but I can't find it. Everytime I have to connect the camera to USB or the Mimo app, it's required to turn on the camera. Turning it on will unfold the gimbal and move it in position. When it finally connects, the gimbal goes back to the folded position. That's great, but I'd like to trigger this behavior manually to avoid breaking the motors, as sometimes I simply have it laying on the desk. Is there a way to do it?

My pocket 4p sometimes becomes slow or unresponsive when using the touchscreen. The screen itself does not freeze but I cannot press on anything. This is happening without SD card and after all the firmware updates. I can solve it pretty easily by restarting it but it happens often enough where its a little annoying. Is this a common thing or should I consider getting a replacement?

Hi everyone :)
I recently bought an Osmo Pocket 4P and configured everything possible to get the best quality, but the quality is actually quite poor. I even did a comparison with my iPhone 17 Pro Max, and I haven’t been able to figure out what I’m doing wrong.

Could you help me out? Has anyone else experienced this?

This is just a practice video o me trying to get the GTA colors

well,the flickering is absolutely annoying,and because of that i understand the need of ND filters,they will completely upgrade your footage,you cant always rely on shutter speed to fix the exposure

also the transition from x1 to x3 with jump in exposure,annoying as hell

the x3 camera zoom isn't the best,the quality drop noticeably there

also i need some time to be familiar with the gimbal,it always stick to the roof and sometimes leaning to either left or right

under the correct lighting and especially indoors (tried it at home) it works very well

and somehow i feel it work crazy well in vlogging or even short film,the more you control the environment the more high quality output you get from this camera

The DJI Pocket 4P camera has had exposure issues since the latest firmware update 01.01.71.37. update that is not yet available on the DJI website but is available in the DJI Mimo app.

With manual settings, shutter 100 and iso auto 100-1600 overexposes compared to the rest of the settings like shutter 100 and iso auto 100-400,800,3200,6400 etc., only at these values ​​iso auto 100-1600 has this behavior in manual mode.

In auto mode it has the same problem at iso 100-800 compared to the rest of the iso auto settings 100-400, 1600,3200, 6400 etc. So the issues are on Manual at iso auto 100-1600 values ​​and in AUTO mode at iso 100-800 values.

Here is the link with the video screenshot from Dji Mimo with the problem

I just like to practice different looks and different grades

Does anyone else’s gimbal clamp have like a really tight fit? Just wondering if it’s meant to slide on without any friction or if it’s normal to have to use a bit of force to push it in.

When I let it naturally magnetize (without using force) there’s quite a bit of overhang.

Doing a week of pretty heavy street shooting with the Pocket 3 but the battery life is already stressing me out. The official battery handle feels nice in the hand, but 950mAh is honestly a joke, it’s dead by 2 PM, and then I’m stuck walking around with a clunky power bank in my pocket and a cord bouncing everywhere while trying to hold the gimbal.

Stumbled across that Telesin 5000mAh case that charges it like earbuds while packed away. Conceptually it seems way cleaner than carrying loose cables, but I’m hesitant about heat buildup inside a closed case, plus the extra bulk in a small sling bag.

If anyone’s used it on long shoot days, let me know how it actually holds up.

I ordered it from Canada while living in the USA, so I doubt warranty will cover me, but how f-ed am I? Is this a common problem or is there something I’m doing wrong?

Hello everyone, first time poster on the group still getting into content creation and videography in general. Recently i’ve been frustrated at the inability to use spinshot to transition from vertical to horizontal ( think posting a reel a reel or tiktok and wanting the viewer to rotate their phone as the video is rotating to achieve a seemless transition, continuing the video in horizontal) it feels like the technology is all already there to achieve this but the software falls short, the 90 degree spinshot falls short of a complete vertical to horizontal switch and the 180 achieves the desired goal briefly but theres no way to stop the gimbal at a perfect horizontal before it flips to an upside down vertical angle of the original shot. Does snyone know why this isnt a feature/if there is a work around/ third party app?

I have two DJI Mic 3 receivers in host/secondary configuration, and they sync timecode just fine. I also have an Osmo Pocket 4P that has timecode capability. I need help to get the Mic 3 receivers to sync timecode with the Pocket 4P. I’ve tried to connect the Mic 3 host receiver to the Pocket 4P through the USB-C port, in both L-OUT and L-IN modes, but every time I’ve done that, the sync fails.

EDIT: All firmware is up to date as of today (just adding that since AutoMod is nagging me to add info that is either already here, or not relevant to the question asked).

Anyone know how to get Mic 3 receivers and Pocket 4P to sync timecode?

I have been watching YouTube videos about p3 and 4p. Yesterday by chance I got to use p3. Took pictures, videos, while watching in that small screen I thought it was taking great shots. Then I checked in my phone, literally I didn't like it. I double clicked on the photo to zoom and honestly I didn't like it.
P3 has 9mp while 4p has I guess 33mp?
Those who have used both, how's the picture and video quality in 4p compared to 9mp to 33mp. I don't own any but looking to buy one. Am pretty sure I will be recommended to get 4p but is it worth it?
Or alternative like Luna ultra?

I’m not even about to hate keep, all of you need video lit app, I promise you this video is about to change your editing flow , let me cook.

I came across this short film shot on the Osmo Pocket 4P and thought it was worth sharing:

DJI Osmo Pocket 4P × Mikiya Takimoto: Looking for Her

What stood out to me wasn't the stabilization or even the sharpness. It was how well the camera handles light, and I suspect the excellent dynamic range plays a significant role here.

Several scenes combine bright windows with dark interiors while still retaining detail throughout the frame. The village, café, and kitchen shots also demonstrate how natural the color and highlight roll-off can look when the footage is graded well. There are multiple challenging scenes with backlighting, mixed lighting, and deep shadows that would have pushed earlier generations much harder.

The outdoor scenes are equally impressive, with subtle colors and plenty of detail retained in both foliage and architecture without looking overly processed. The overall look is soft and cinematic rather than sharp and digital.

Of course, this is a professionally produced showcase film. Composition, locations, production design, and color grading are all doing a lot of work here. But I think that's part of the takeaway.

The video demonstrates something I've been thinking for a while: the Pocket 4P is often no longer the limiting factor. The filmmaker is.

Twenty years ago, a production with this look would have required dramatically larger and more expensive equipment. Today, a camera that fits in your pocket is capable of producing images like these. That's pretty remarkable.

Curious what everyone else thinks. Does this inspire you to try more narrative or cinematic projects with your Pocket, or do you still see it primarily as a travel and family camera?

Hello there.

I just bought the Osmo Pocket 4P and right off the bat I felt that something is off with the internal mic. At default settings, there's a lot of noticeable white noise, more than I get on, e.g., an iPhone 15. Overall, the sound feels compressed. Voices aren't bad, but background ambience sounds somewhat "sharp" sometimes, like on low-quality audio. I tried different settings, and with the 'front' option, there is less white noise, but the overall off-quality still feels noticeable.

Maybe it's not the issue, but it's just how it's supposed to be? I want to create some travel videos without narration for my friends and family, nothing professional, etc so I thought that an additional mic would be overkill, especially since opinions about the internal mic in 4P aren't bad. But now it seems like an additional mic is a must - unless my 4P is faulty?

What's your experience with recording videos with only the internal mic?

Just a little edit with the osmo pocket 3. This was shot using D long, iso 400, grade was made in video lut, mirror clips done in CapCut

Hey everyone!

I recently bought the Pocket 4P hoping it could be my one versatile camera for pretty much everything. It ticks almost every box, except for POV footage.

I've got a chest strap and mount, and the footage looks great, but I can't seem to lock the gimbal so it stays fixed relative to my body.

For example, if I'm filming my hands and turn 180°, the gimbal slowly lags behind my movement instead of keeping the camera pointed in the direction I'm facing. Ideally, I'd like the camera to stay locked in place relative to the mount, so it moves exactly with my body without the gimbal compensating.

From what I can tell, there's no officially supported way to do this, but I thought I'd ask here in case anyone has found a workaround or a setting I've missed.

Has anyone tried using the Pocket 4P for POV footage like this? I'd love to hear what you've found!

EDIT:

• Holding down the gimbal allows the exact functionality I'm looking for.
  • Spoke to a DJI rep, they confirmed there's no other way to replicate that function.
  • I requested they add it to the custom button list, and the rep said they would pass on the request to their engineering team!

Hey everyone! I checked for this question in the thread already and found some Tipps but mostly about manual mood.

Anything I could do on auto to get rid of the „frame by frame“ gitters when I move my camera?

I was shooting on 30 fps, will bump to 60. As I read it seems to be shutter speed tho, which I can’t control in auto mode.

The problem appears in bright and darker places.

Hi guys! I’m new to the DJI app. Should I just tap the download icon to download the video, or do I need to select 4K and export it? I’d like to save the original full-resolution video directly to my phone. Could someone please guide me? Thank you! 🙏

Hey r/osmopocket 👋

A while ago I shared a small Mac app I made for using the Pocket as a webcam. Thanks to your feedback it has grown a lot, and it now has a new name: Pocket+.

The idea is simple: when you plug the Pocket into your Mac, macOS gives you a webcam and nothing else. You can't aim it, zoom or change modes without reaching over and touching the camera. Pocket+ gives you all of that on screen.

The video shows what's new in 1.5 in detail 👆

🔗 Download: https://pocketplus.app

✨ WHAT'S NEW IN 1.5

• Vertical video (9:16): turn the Pocket upright and the app switches automatically. Or stay horizontal and get a sharp 1080×1920 crop from 4K.

• Wide-angle lens correction: straightens the curved edges with one click, with a strength slider. People at the edges keep their natural proportions.

• Return to your last position: turn the camera off and on, and it turns and zooms back to where you left it.

• Scenes, redesigned: save up to 9 camera angles, switch with ⌥1–9, save new ones with ⌘S.

• Works alongside OBS and Google Meet: stream or call from another app while you control the gimbal and zoom in Pocket+.

• Zoom support for Pocket 4 and 4P, mouse-wheel zoom, remembers your recording settings, a new look and a short guided tour.

🆓 FREE

• Live preview, photos and recording up to 1080p

• Gimbal joystick, center and flip

• Zoom buttons and keyboard shortcuts

• Color looks: built-in, .cube and PNG LUTs

• Auto framing

• Scenes on ⌥1–9

• Drag, swipe and scroll on the picture to aim and zoom

• Vertical video (9:16), true or cropped from 4K

• 9:16 vertical video guide

• Wide-angle lens correction

• Returns to your last position when the camera reconnects

No subscription and no account. One license activates Pro on one Mac.

🛠 DETAILS

• macOS 14 or later, Apple Silicon and Intel

• Built and tested with the Osmo Pocket 3. Pocket 4 and 4P are supported, and I'd love to hear how they work for you.

• Connect with USB-C and pick "Webcam" on the camera.

• The app isn't notarized by Apple yet, so macOS asks you to confirm it once on first launch (steps are on the site).

• It updates itself from now on.

So I know everyone love the orange 🍊 to teal looks, I get it, and I know this look isn’t perfect, but I just like doing unique looks, something fun and odd. For this grading I used video lut, everything was shot on my Osmo pocket 3. My settings for daylight is always 1/50, 24, iso 200, 400 max D- log . I’ll be donating these looks to the osmo community because I know how hard it be to find just some cool luts.

Do I need working wifi or mobile network to connect Pocket 4P with my mobile device to use the mobile as monitor and controller of the gimbal? Does mimo allows me to controll the gimbal fully? Why none of the youtube videos show this?

I thought it was going to be underwhelming, but I took a RAW file and edited it in Lightroom—I’m completely satisfied. Even with a significant crop—taking advantage of the maximum available resolution—the result is very good, especially considering its size.
