Is the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P real, and has DJI announced it?
As of 28 September 2026, DJI publishes no product page for an Osmo Pocket 4P: dji.com/osmo-pocket-4 and dji.com/osmo-pocket-4p both return HTTP 404. The Osmo Pocket 3, a 1-inch CMOS gimbal camera, is still the pocket gimbal DJI lists and sells, so any circulating 4P spec sheet is unconfirmed by DJI.[1]
That check takes ten seconds and you can repeat it yourself. No rumour reading required.
The rest of this piece walks the chain in the order a buyer asks it: what DJI sells today, what ships instead, how the Insta360 Luna Ultra measures up against the Osmo Pocket 3, whether the four-hour battery number is real, what Insta360 leaves out of the box, whether a fixed-lens gimbal is the right category at all, and which camera to spend on this month.
One disclosure first. This piece is built from two manufacturer specification pages, DJI’s Osmo Pocket 3 listing and Insta360’s Luna Ultra listing, plus two live site checks made on 28 September 2026. No independent lab result and no owner report for the Luna series could be opened, so every performance figure below is labelled as the maker’s claim.
What is DJI’s current pocket gimbal camera in 2026?
The DJI Osmo Pocket 3, listed by DJI as a “1″ CMOS Pocket Gimbal Camera” and still on DJI’s own site on 28 September 2026.[1]
DJI’s published specification for that body: a 1-inch CMOS sensor, 4K/120fps capture, a 2-inch rotatable touchscreen, three-axis mechanical stabilisation, 10-bit D-Log M and HLG, full-pixel fast focusing and ActiveTrack 6.0.[1] Audio is stereo onboard, with DJI Mic 2 and DJI Mic Mini pairing.[1]
So the Osmo Pocket 3 successor question has no manufacturer answer. No DJI page, no DJI specification, no announced date for a fourth-generation Pocket. Anyone quoting an Osmo Pocket 4P release date is quoting nobody.
No Australian dollar figure appears anywhere in this article, for the Osmo Pocket 3 or for anything else named here. Neither an Australian retailer listing nor a manufacturer RRP for Australia could be opened and dated on 28 September 2026, and a typed price is wrong the week after it publishes.

What can you buy instead right now?
Insta360 already ships the camera a Pocket 4P would have to beat. Its own site describes the Luna family, Insta360 Luna Ultra and Insta360 Luna Pro, as “8K gimbal cameras with a 1” sensor, superb low-light performance, and detachable touchscreen”, checked 28 September 2026.[2]
Insta360’s specification for the Luna Ultra: a Leica Summicron F1.8 lens over a 1-inch 8K sensor, with a claimed 14 stops of dynamic range.[3] A second camera sits beside it, a 1/1.3-inch sensor at F2.0, reaching 15× (300mm-equivalent) and 6× (120mm-equivalent) lossless across six focal lengths.[3]
The 2-inch OLED touchscreen detaches and works as a remote monitor with HD image transmission to 20 metres and a microphone in the screen unit.[3] Processing is what Insta360 calls a Triple AI Chip stack: two imaging chips plus a 4nm AI chip, feeding a PureVideo low-light mode up to 4K60fps.[3]
Video modes listed: 8K Dolby Vision, 4K120fps slow motion, 1080p240fps slow motion, and 4K30fps vertical oversampled from 6K at up to 6× zoom.[3] Internal storage is 47GB, so it records with no SD card fitted.[3] Insta360 lists 10-bit I-Log as ACES-workflow compatible and natively supported in DaVinci Resolve, with 37MP UltraPhoto stills and 200MP panoramas.[3]
Every figure above is published against the Luna Ultra body as Insta360 specifies it, and no Insta360 RRP for Australia could be opened on 28 September 2026, so no price appears here. Tracking on that body is Deep Track 5.0, with a pre-installed wind guard and direct pairing of two Mic Air or Mic Pro transmitters for two-person audio.[3]
The Luna Pro is the other model in that series.[2] We did not verify its model-specific specification in this pass, so treat nothing above as applying to it, and treat its price as unknown until you open a listing.
How does the Insta360 Luna Ultra compare with the DJI Osmo Pocket 3?
Insta360 specifies the Luna Ultra with a 1-inch 8K sensor, Leica Summicron F1.8 lens, a second 1/1.3-inch F2.0 telephoto and a detachable 2-inch OLED screen; DJI specifies the Osmo Pocket 3 with a 1-inch CMOS sensor and 4K/120fps. Both are maker claims, not lab measurements.
| Camera | Main sensor | Max video | Log format | Screen | Audio | Where to buy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Insta360 Luna Ultra | 1-inch 8K, Leica Summicron F1.8 (Insta360)[3] | 8K Dolby Vision; 4K120fps; 1080p240fps (Insta360)[3] | 10-bit I-Log, ACES-compatible (Insta360)[3] | 2-inch OLED, detachable, 20m transmission (Insta360)[3] | Pre-installed wind guard; pairs two Mic Air or Mic Pro transmitters (Insta360)[3] | Check price on Amazon |
| DJI Osmo Pocket 3 | 1-inch CMOS (DJI)[1] | 4K/120fps (DJI)[1] | 10-bit D-Log M and HLG (DJI)[1] | 2-inch rotatable, fixed to body (DJI)[1] | Stereo onboard; DJI Mic 2 and DJI Mic Mini (DJI)[1] | Check price on Amazon |
Zoom is the one line the table cannot carry honestly. Insta360 lists 15× (300mm-equivalent) and 6× lossless for the Luna Ultra; DJI’s listed highlights for the Osmo Pocket 3 carry no zoom figure at all, which is an absence in DJI’s published highlights rather than a measured limit.[3][1] Storage splits the same way. The Luna Ultra’s 47GB onboard means it shoots the moment you unbox it, and DJI publishes no equivalent number in its highlights.[3][1]
Tracking splits cleanly: Deep Track 5.0 on the Luna Ultra, ActiveTrack 6.0 on the Osmo Pocket 3.[3][1]
The gap that matters is measurement. No independent lab result for either camera could be opened at filing. Insta360’s 14 stops, its four-hour battery and its 23-minute charge all sit in the claim column, and none carries a named measurement standard on Insta360’s page.[3] We are not calling a winner on image quality off two specification pages.
Does the Insta360 Luna Ultra really shoot for four hours on one charge?
Four hours is Insta360’s own footnoted figure for the Luna Ultra’s 1550mAh battery, and the headline claim names no resolution or frame rate.[3] Shoot 8K Dolby Vision and expect less. How much less, nobody has published.
The 23-minute PD fast-charge figure has the same status: footnoted, with “usable power” never defined as a percentage.[3] The 14-stop dynamic range claim carries no named measurement standard either.[3]
An independent measurement would settle all three. Both reference points are silent. DXOMARK’s site search for “ZV-E10 II” returned “Nothing Found” on 28 September 2026.[4] Photons to Photos publishes photographic dynamic range against ISO as chart and table data with its protocol attached, last revised 18 August 2026, and we could not open a measured result there for any camera named in this piece.[5]
Treat every headline number in this category as a claim until somebody with a test bench puts a figure beside it.
What does the Insta360 Luna Ultra not include in the box?
The two features Insta360 leads with on the Luna Ultra are the two you cannot use on day one. Stage Mode’s 450mm-equivalent reach needs the Ultra Telephoto Lens, sold separately. The Mini Fill Light behind the low-light portrait pitch is also sold separately, and Insta360’s own words on 28 September 2026 are that it “will release soon. Release date to be confirmed”.[3]
Insta360’s accessory list adds the POV Head Tracker and the Neck Mount as separate purchases, plus a Backpack Mount recorded as still to be released.[3] So the in-box camera is the dual-lens body, the detachable 2-inch OLED screen and 47GB of storage, at 15× zoom rather than 450mm.[3]
Then the warning on the same page. Insta360 states that exposing the lens directly to laser beams or other intense light sources, concert laser equipment specifically, may damage the image sensor and cause camera malfunction.[3] Read that next to the 450mm Stage Mode pitch. The long lens is sold for the venue the maker tells you not to point it at.
Skip the Luna Ultra if you need night portraits or 450mm reach working the week your box arrives, and skip it outright if laser-lit gigs are your main subject.
Should I buy an Insta360 Luna Ultra or a Sony ZV-E10 II?
This is a category choice, not a spec race.
The Insta360 Luna Ultra and the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 are fixed-lens gimbal cameras with onboard subject tracking, Deep Track 5.0 and ActiveTrack 6.0 respectively, and mechanical stabilisation in a body you hold one-handed.[3][1] No lens decisions, no bag.
The Sony ZV-E10 II is an interchangeable-lens body. You pick the glass. That is how you get shallow depth of field, a fast prime, or long reach with real optics rather than a 1/1.3-inch F2.0 telephoto crop.[3]
The limits, said plainly: we verified no Sony specification, price or Australian availability from a primary source in this pass, and DXOMARK’s site search returned no result for the ZV-E10 II on 28 September 2026.[4] No retailer listing for the body could be opened and dated either. It appears here as the answer to a category question, with no borrowed numbers attached.
Where each camera lands
Filed by the question each one answers, not by rank. No AUD figure against any of them, because none could be dated on 28 September 2026.
DJI Osmo Pocket 3: the answer to “what does DJI sell today”. 1-inch CMOS, 4K/120fps, 2-inch rotatable screen, three-axis stabilisation, 10-bit D-Log M and HLG, ActiveTrack 6.0, DJI Mic 2 and Mic Mini support.[1]
Insta360 Luna Ultra: the answer to “most camera in a fixed-lens gimbal body”. 1-inch 8K sensor, Leica Summicron F1.8, 1/1.3-inch F2.0 telephoto to 15×, detachable 2-inch OLED, 47GB internal storage, 10-bit I-Log, with the accessory asterisk attached.[3]
Insta360 Luna Pro: the second model Insta360 lists in the Luna series on 28 September 2026.[2] Named here, not recommended, because its specification was not separately verified.
Sony ZV-E10 II: the answer to “I need lens choice”. Not the answer to “I need a gimbal”. DXOMARK’s site search returned no result for the ZV-E10 II on 28 September 2026.[4]
DJI Osmo Pocket 4P: the answer to nothing yet. No DJI product page, no confirmed specification, no date.[1]
So which one should you buy this month?
Do not hold money for a DJI Osmo Pocket 4P DJI has never published. Buy the Insta360 Luna Ultra if you accept that its 450mm Stage Mode and Mini Fill Light ship separately, the Osmo Pocket 3 for a shipping 4K/120fps rig, the Sony ZV-E10 II for lens choice.
