The highly anticipated DJI Osmo Pocket 4, the next iteration of DJI’s popular ultra-compact 3-axis gimbal camera, has encountered a setback in its release schedule. Initially rumoured to launch as early as 18 December 2025, the device is now expected to arrive in the latter half of January 2026, according to reliable industry sources.
Reasons Behind the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Delay
Insider reports from Photorabz indicate that the postponement stems from unprepared accessories for the new model. The core camera is reportedly ready, but ensuring a complete and polished ecosystem has led to the shift. Recent updates suggest the release is slated for January 2026, likely towards the latter half of the month.
Potential Teaser & Ongoing Preparations
Action camera outlets report that DJI may unveil a teaser page by the end of December 2025. While a December launch is now ruled out, preparations continue – the device has secured FCC certification in the United States, clearing regulatory pathways.
What to Expect from the DJI Osmo Pocket 4
As the successor to the acclaimed Osmo Pocket series, the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is poised to feature enhancements such as a larger battery, potential dual-camera setup & improved stabilisation for portable videography.
DJI fans are far from short of new gear. The company has delivered several notable launches in recent months, including the compact DJI Osmo Nano wearable camera (launched September 2025), the flagship Osmo Action 6 action camera (launched November 2025), & the advanced DJI Mic 3 wireless microphone system (released August 2025). Additionally, the innovative Osmo 360 panoramic camera debuted in July 2025, expanding options for immersive content creation.
Advice for Osmo Pocket 3 Owners Looking to Upgrade
Those considering selling their Osmo Pocket 3 to fund the Pocket 4 & secure the best resale value should act promptly. The delay provides an extra grace period before the new model’s arrival potentially impacts second-hand prices. Listing on resale platforms now could yield stronger returns ahead of the January 2026 launch.

In a recent post on X, leaker Igor Bogdanov of Quadro News claims to have released exclusive photos of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4.
Purportedly, it sports 2 cameras. However, I am not convinced these images are real at all.
A closer look at his main post shows the kind of text rendering commonly found on AI generated images. Specifically, if you look at the word “OSMO” on the handle, you can tell that it is entirely inorganic as is the text found around the lens of the camera, which appears to be a random combination of the DJI logo as well as non existent letters & numbers in no particular sequence.
In the comments of his original post, he added an additional photo, which he claims was unedited.
Still, the question remains–was the photo he originally posted just an AI enhancement of his later image or was this story entirely fabricated?
Look closely at the images & comment your thoughts.
