- PetaPixel 8/10
While we found that it falls short of the promised 17 stops of dynamic range, the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P is shockingly capable with outstanding image quality... at least with the main camera.
-
The Osmo Pocket 4P’s additional camera makes it more versatile and practical to use than its predecessors.
- The Verge 8/10
Taken together, the Osmo Pocket 4P is an almost unqualified success. It combines slight improvements to the Pocket 4’s main camera with a whole new telephoto that delivers great performance in its own right, including really attractive bokeh.
-
The Osmo Pocket 4P takes the winning formula of the standard Pocket 4 and makes it more versatile, rather than just incrementally better.
-
DJI has created a near-perfect pocket gimbal camera, with striking dynamic range and creative capability, while compromising very little on portability from the single-lens alternative.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4P review: twice the vlogging camera, and the one to beat | TechRadar.
- Engadget 9/10
If you can deal with the inflated re-sell price, or can source one yourself at the MSRP, it's a solid evolution for DJI's Pocket series.
- CNET 8.9/10
With its superb image quality, rock-solid stabilization, solid tracking skills and fast charging, the Osmo Pocket 4P packs everything I need to be able to shoot my YouTube videos at the quality I’d hope for.
-
Now, I've always loved the usability of these cameras, but this one is a pretty substantial upgrade over the Pocket 3.
-
Having now spent several weeks with the Osmo Pocket 4P, the one thing that stands out above the specification sheet is this: this is the camera I kept picking up.
-
DJI has done it again. The Osmo Pocket 4P builds on an already excellent formula by adding a genuinely useful second camera without sacrificing the portability that made the Pocket series famous.
-
The DJI Osmo Pocket 4P is a brilliant little camera. It’s better than the Pocket 4 while remaining nearly as pocketable.
-
Ultimately, it is the competitive price of the Pocket 4P that makes it so easy to recommend, paired with that impressive camera system. In this day and age to see such aggressive pricing is surprising and very welcome.
-
The Pocket 4P has been highly anticipated.
-
Despite my minor complaints, the Pocket series of cameras fills a unique niche, and I’d recommend the Pocket 4P over the Pocket 4 to almost everyone who’s able to buy it. For most people, the extra reach is the main reason why.
-
The Osmo Pocket 4P is honestly one of the most exciting video cameras I've used in a long time.
-
I love the Pocket 4P. Like I really, really do.
-
This really has become kind of a one-stop device for any scene that you can find yourself in. And it's just going to do a great job all day.
-
So look, at the end of the day, do I recommend the Pocket 4K?
- CGMagazine 9.5/10
The DJI Osmo Pocket 4P is a beefed up version of the Pocket 4. Its upgrades give huge leaps in dynamic range, and thus, overall quality.
-
For a solo creator who travels for both work and the version of themselves that only comes out on a trail or in a new city, the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P earns its spot in the bag. It’s not trying to replace a full production; it’s trying to be one.
- Gadget Pilipinas 9/10
Taken as a whole, the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P is an objective step up in capability while maintaining a positive balance between feature set, portability, and price.
-
If you do have the Pocket 3, you are definitely going to want to get yourself this or anything before that.
-
Definitely a beautiful camera though.
-
For travel creators, vloggers, portrait-focused photographers, and anyone who’s wanted something that shoots more like a serious camera without the bulk, the Osmo Pocket 4P makes a genuinely strong case for itself.
-
If you like the flexibility of having more than one lens, this is definitely the model for you.
-
The DJI Osmo Pocket 4P retains its crown as the best pocket gimbal camera by bringing true cinema-grade optical performance into a pocketable 230-gram form factor.
-
The DJI Osmo Pocket 4P is a thoughtful evolution of the Osmo Pocket concept. Instead of increasing specifications for the sake of it, DJI has added a second camera that genuinely changes how the device can be used.
-
I highly recommend it.
-
The fact that a camera this small retained this much detail in both highlights and shadows and still gave me a clean image after that adjustment is honestly impressive.
-
If I could go back 31 days ago, would I buy this thing again?
-
The Osmo Pocket 4P is an excellent camera for vloggers, creative types, and anyone who wants to capture wow-worthy footage. It’s a fantastic tool that’s not only smaller than most alternatives, the zoom also makes it a standout.
-
[I]f you value getting the ultimate in image quality and having the flexibility of that three times camera for more varied shots, the answer is an easy yes.
-
I actually genuinely think that this Osmo 4P with its two lenses, it's fantastic sound, is just the ultimate in in vlogging cameras.
-
If you want the best possible image quality in a form factor this small, there is nothing on the market that is going to give you that.
-
It is versatile, powerful, and an absolute joy to use, oh and it comes in two colours.
-
DJI hasn’t completely reinvented the formula, but has created a camera that makes the pocket camera idea more convenient while keeping the features that make the Pocket series useful for creators.
-
I'm certainly not a professional videographer, but even on my first day, the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P kind of made me feel like a pro.
-
All in all, I'd have to say this is a camera that actually makes me want to capture everything.
-
[...] I do love this camera. I've said it before, but there's really never been a better time to pick up a camera and create.
-
Yes, I would recommend it. I really hope they fix the things that are on the negative list.
-
The Pocket 4 is already an impressive and great camera. But the Pocket 4P gives you more creative options.
-
[I]f the Pocket 4's upgrade is a further refinement built on the Pocket 3's success, then the Pocket 4P's upgrade, in my view, redefines the very concept of the Pocket as a handheld gimbal camera.
