DJI Osmo Pocket 4P launching globally on May 14

11 May 2026 at 22:49

DJI is about to launch the most ambitious Pocket-series camera it has made so far. The company has officially confirmed the global debut of the Osmo Pocket 4P, scheduled for May 14 during the Cannes Film Festival in France. Pre-orders are already live through DJI’s website, and early hands-on units have started appearing through Chinese media outlets and creators ahead of the announcement.

The biggest change this time is the camera setup itself. For the first time in the Pocket lineup, DJI is adding a second lens. The Pocket 4P combines the familiar 1-inch primary sensor from the standard Osmo Pocket 4 with a dedicated 3x telephoto camera, reportedly sitting around a 70mm equivalent focal length.

That may not sound like a huge upgrade at first, but it actually changes the way the Pocket camera can be used. Older Pocket models were mostly limited to wide-angle shooting, which worked fine for vlogging but wasn’t always ideal for portraits, interviews, or tighter cinematic framing. Adding a telephoto lens makes the Pocket 4P noticeably more flexible without forcing creators to rely heavily on digital zoom. Reports also mention a variable aperture system (f/1.7-f/2.8) for the main camera, alongside up to 12x hybrid zoom and around 6x “lossless” zoom depending on the shooting mode.

Outside of the camera hardware, DJI seems to be refining the rest of the experience rather than redesigning everything. The Pocket 4P reportedly supports 10-bit D-Log recording, upgraded ActiveTrack 7.0 tracking, and a larger 2.5-inch rotating touchscreen with brightness reaching 1000 nits. Battery capacity is also said to increase to around 2000mAh for longer recording sessions.

And of course, the signature 3-axis mechanical stabilization system remains one of the main selling points. DJI also appears to be pushing ecosystem integration more heavily this generation, with tighter compatibility expected between the Pocket 4P and the company’s microphones, drones, and creator accessories.

Pricing hasn’t been officially revealed yet, but the Pocket 4P is expected to sit above the standard Pocket 4 in DJI’s lineup. Availability in the US is still uncertain as well, since some recent DJI launches have faced regulatory complications there.

The Pocket 4P isn’t trying to replace larger mirrorless cameras, but it does seem aimed at creators who want more framing flexibility and better image quality without carrying around a full camera setup all day.

DJI Romo 2 series

DJI has officially unveiled the new Romo 2 series AI-powered robot vacuum and mop cleaners in China. The lineup includes the Romo P2 and Romo A2 models, focusing on smarter cleaning, advanced obstacle detection, and reduced manual maintenance. The company is positioning the new series as a premium smart home cleaning solution powered by AI and DJI’s spatial sensing technology.

DJI Romo P2, Romo A2 specifications and features

The Romo 2 series comes with DJI’s upgraded AI cleaning system that can recognise different floor conditions and cleaning scenarios automatically. The robot can increase suction while cleaning carpets, detect liquid spills for targeted mopping, and intelligently navigate cluttered spaces without needing users to rearrange furniture beforehand.

DJI has equipped the Romo 2 lineup with a new obstacle avoidance system inspired by its drone technology. The setup combines laser radar sensors, fisheye vision cameras, and ToF sensing hardware to identify even small obstacles such as thin cables or pet pads. The system can also detect transparent objects like mirrors and glass surfaces. A built-in dirt-detection light helps the robot spot dust and obstacles in dark environments.

The cleaning hardware includes a radar-adaptive robotic arm capable of swinging up to 123 degrees for improved edge and corner cleaning. DJI says the new design can cover an additional 4.5cm area near walls compared to previous models. The Romo 2 series also features a powerful 36000Pa suction system with intelligent boost mode for carpets and deep dust removal. It supports 8.5cm dual-layer obstacle climbing and includes anti-tangle brush structures for hair management.

DJI has also focused heavily on automation and maintenance. The docking station supports high-temperature self-cleaning, multiple antibacterial features, hot-air drying, UV sanitisation, and automatic sewage cleaning. The robots additionally support voice control, remote video communication, dirt heatmaps inside the DJI Home app, and 55W fast charging.

DJI Romo P2, Romo A2 price and availability

DJI has launched four variants under the Romo 2 lineup in China:

  • DJI Romo P2 (water tank version) – 5,999 Yuan (~$830)
  • DJI Romo P2 (automatic water supply and drainage ultra-thin base station version) – 6,499 Yuan (~$900)
  • DJI Romo A2 (water tank version) – 5,499 Yuan (~$760)
  • DJI Romo A2 (automatic water supply and drainage ultra-thin base station version) – 5,999 Yuan (~$830)

 The products are currently available for pre-orders in China through DJI’s official online and offline channels. At this time, there is no official confirmation regarding global availability.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4P global launch confirmed; design official

9 May 2026 at 19:37

DJI is preparing to take the Pocket series in a slightly different direction this year. After several teasers on Chinese social media, the company has now confirmed that the upcoming Osmo Pocket 4P, sometimes shortened to Pocket 4 Pro, will launch globally. And unlike previous Pocket models, this one is focusing heavily on zoom and more flexible shooting options.

The biggest addition is a dedicated telephoto camera

The Pocket 4P keeps the same 1-inch primary sensor introduced on the standard Osmo Pocket 4, but adds a secondary 3x telephoto lens to the setup. That may not sound revolutionary on paper, but for a compact gimbal camera like this, it’s actually a pretty meaningful change.

One of the biggest limitations of previous Pocket models was that everything had to be shot through a single wide-angle lens. It worked well for vlogging, but portraits, tighter framing, and cinematic shots often relied heavily on digital zoom or cropping. The new telephoto camera changes that.

Early hands-on clips from China suggest the telephoto lens sits around a 70mm equivalent focal length and may use a fairly large 1/1.5-inch sensor. Reports also mention up to 6x “lossless” zoom and 12x maximum zoom overall, which should make the camera much more versatile for travel videos, interviews, and street-style shooting.

Outside of the second camera, the Pocket 4P seems to build directly on the standard Pocket 4. That model already introduced a few major upgrades compared to the Pocket 3, including 240fps recording at 4K, upgraded ActiveTrack, and a brighter rotating display. The upcoming Pocket 4P keeps all of that while adding the extra telephoto hardware. And of course, the signature 3-axis mechanical gimbal is still here, which remains one of the biggest reasons people buy Pocket cameras in the first place.

DJI has been teasing the device with the slogan “See More, Tell More,” which is honestly a pretty accurate summary of what this model seems designed for.

The rollout appears to start in China before expanding globally later. DJI pages for the device have already surfaced in markets like Canada and Mexico. Availability in the US is less clear, though. Similar to some recent DJI products, the Pocket 4P is reportedly facing regulatory hurdles tied to FCC authorization, and at least for now, it doesn’t appear on DJI’s US website.
