DJI’s next pocket gimbal camera may not arrive as soon as expected. New reports suggest the Osmo Pocket 4 has been delayed, pushing its launch into early 2026.

The Osmo Pocket lineup is due for an update, and leaks around a new model have been circulating for months. DJI has already been linked to the Osmo Pocket 4 through an FCC filing spotted late last month, confirming the device is real and moving through regulatory approval. That listing also pointed to a roughly 20% battery improvement compared to the current Osmo Pocket 3.

The pocketable camera has also appeared in multiple leaks this year, including early images, fueling expectations of a launch before the end of 2025. Some of that speculation was tied to DJI’s situation in the US, where a potential ban is expected to take effect before 2026.

Quality control issues related to accessories could be the reason

According to Photorabz, DJI has now missed its original December window due to quality control issues related to accessories, not the camera itself. If accurate, this would explain the silence from DJI despite the growing number of leaks. As a result, the Osmo Pocket 4 is now expected to launch in early 2026.

That said, the wait may not be much longer. DJI is likely to start teasing the new Osmo Pocket before the end of December, with an official global release date expected to follow soon after.

For now, DJI hasn’t made anything official. But with certifications in place and leaks continuing to surface, the Osmo Pocket 4 appears close to launch — just not as soon as many were expecting.
