DJI's Osmo Pocket 4P goes on worldwide sale today, July 30, 2026, adding a 3x telephoto camera to the Osmo Pocket 4's gimbal-stabilized form factor while skipping the US market entirely amid ongoing FCC action against the company. The Verge

The Pocket 4P is functionally a Pocket 4 with a second lens grafted on. That new telephoto module pairs a 1/1.28-inch-type sensor with an f/1.8 aperture and a 60mm-equivalent field of view, sitting alongside the main camera's 1-inch sensor and f/2.0 aperture. The main wide-angle camera retains a 17-stop dynamic range and supports 10-bit D-Log 2 color. The Verge; DJI Store

On the telephoto side, the 4P records 4K in landscape or 3K in portrait, captures 37-megapixel stills, and supports low-light, slow-motion, and timelapse modes. Panorama mode is not available on the telephoto lens. The Verge

The body, controls, and flip-out touchscreen are carried over from the Pocket 4, with only minor cosmetic differences to distinguish the two. The trade-offs for the second camera are measurable: the 4P is bigger, heavier, and delivers slightly reduced battery life compared with its predecessor. The Verge

DJI debuted the 4P at Cannes ahead of the July 30 worldwide release date it confirmed via social media on July 23. In India, the launch is timed for 5:30 PM IST on the same day. DJI Media Center; Red Shark News

Pricing positions the 4P below its primary competitor, the Insta360 Luna Ultra, a dual-lens camera in the same category. In Europe, the Standard Combo runs £529 / €599 (approximately $680) and ships with a fill light, carry pouch, and a handle with a tripod thread. The Vlog Combo costs £605 / €689 (about $785) and adds a larger carry case, compact tripod, DJI Mic Mini 2, and a wireless FrameTap remote. The FrameTap remote is supported across the 4P lineup.

The United States is conspicuously absent from the launch map. DJI will not release the Osmo Pocket 4P in the US, a direct consequence of the FCC's ongoing efforts to crack down on alleged DJI front companies. The Verge; Red Shark News

The regulatory pressure has already produced collateral damage among companies attempting to operate in DJI's wake. Xtra, a company that emerged after DJI's US ban, has delisted its Muse 2 Pro product, halted preorders, and refunded deposits. The Verge

The broader context here is that DJI continues to ship compelling hardware globally while the US market becomes a hard line it cannot cross. The 4P's dual-lens approach, bringing a genuine telephoto option to a pocketable gimbal camera, answers a real creative need for vloggers and content creators who want focal-length flexibility without switching devices. The Insta360 Luna Ultra rivalry suggests this category is now competitive enough to drive both pricing discipline and feature differentiation.

What remains unresolved is whether the FCC's front-company enforcement will extend beyond DJI's immediate orbit to affect the broader ecosystem of Chinese-origin imaging hardware reaching Western markets through indirect channels. The Xtra situation, where a product was delisted and deposits refunded before the device even shipped, is an early signal that the regulatory net may be tightening in ways that affect companies trying to fill the gap DJI left in the US.

For creators outside the US, the 4P offers a straightforward value proposition: a proven gimbal-camera platform with an added telephoto, priced competitively against its closest rival, and available today. For those in the US, the Pocket 4 remains the latest model they can buy through official channels, and the 4P's telephoto capabilities are accessible only through import or not at all.
