DJI’s cinematic Osmo Pocket 4p debuts at Cannes
The prestigious Cannes Film Festival is taking place in France, with A-list stars from The Fast and the Furious the franchise is making headlines so far. However, Chinese technology company DJI also took the opportunity to make its own debut: the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P camera.
Cannes might seem like a strange place for a drone and camera company, but the company wants to move from the creator space to Hollywood productions. Photos of the Osmo Pocket 4P show two lenses, which would set it apart from other cameras in the Osmo Pocket line.

DJI Osmo Pocket gimbal cameras already have a cult following among creators, and the company recently launched the Osmo Pocket 4. However, the Osmo Pocket 4P is specifically designed for film productions, DJI said in a press release sent to Mashable.
Crushable speed of light
“Following the global success of its predecessor, the Osmo Pocket 4P builds on a growing movement in which compact cameras are reshaping the way stories are created and shared,” reads the press release. “Its Cannes debut highlights its potential to influence the future of cinematic vlogging, inspire a new generation of mobile-first filmmakers, and lead global trends in portrait-based visual storytelling.”
Gimbal cameras have long been used in Hollywood productions, and the Osmo Pocket brought the technology to video bloggers, influencers, and creators of all kinds.
DJI says the Osmo Pocket 4P will deliver cinema-quality HDR video and 10-bit D-Log2 color performance for professional color grading.
DJI did not provide any details on a possible release date or price, but a company spokesperson said the camera would be available through DJI’s online store and retail partners. As with other recent DJI releases, it may arrive late in the US due to DJI’s ongoing issues with the FCC and the US drone ban.
