I had the chance to test the upcoming DJI Osmo Pocket 4P on a recent trip, and I can share some sample clips shot with this innovative dual-lens vlogging camera. Although full reviews are still under embargo, DJI's Chinese website has already listed the key specifications. The Pocket 4P comes in black or white and features a second 60mm medium-telephoto lens with a large aperture, alongside the ultra-wide. It supports DLog2 color profile, offering up to 17 stops of dynamic range — a major leap for the Pocket series.
Dual lens for unmatched versatility
The most distinctive feature of the Pocket 4P is its dual-lens system. In addition to the ultra-wide lens, a 60mm telephoto provides compressed portraits and soft backgrounds. During testing, I switched between the two lenses to capture wide landscapes and close-up details, and the transition was seamless. Video quality is superb, with sharpness rivaling larger cameras. This model is a significant evolution from the single-lens Pocket 4.

DLog2 performance and high dynamic range
The DLog2 color profile is a first for the Pocket line. With 17 stops of dynamic range, I could recover details in shadows and highlights even in high-contrast scenes. For example, a sunset clip retained cloud definition while the foreground was well-exposed. Slow motion mode is also impressive, with high frame rates delivering smooth motion. The Pocket 4P handles low light well, thanks to an improved sensor and 3-axis mechanical stabilization.
Comparison with Insta360 Luna Ultra
Competition in vlogging cameras has intensified with the Insta360 Luna Ultra, which I have also tested. The Pocket 4P sits at a mid-range price point. According to DJI's Chinese page, the standard kit costs CNY 3,799 (about $562), and the Vlog kit is CNY 4,299 (about $636). Given that the current Pocket 4 starts at £429, I expect the 4P to cost more, likely between $500 and $600 in the US, though US availability is uncertain. The Luna Ultra starts at $769.99, so the Pocket 4P may be a more affordable option without compromising quality.

First impressions and outlook
The clips I shot have convinced me: the dual-lens versatility and DLog2 color quality make the Pocket 4P an ideal travel companion for vloggers. I look forward to a direct comparison with the Luna Ultra in a full review. Meanwhile, the tech industry is buzzing with innovation, as seen in Apple's M5 and M6 chip plans and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 color leaks, showing that attention to detail is paramount.
