LOFIC Sensor and Triple Gain: DJI Osmo Pocket 4P Now Available with Dual Lenses, D-Log 2, and High Dynamic Range
[14:00 Thu,30.July 2026 � by blip] ���
Starting today, DJI&s dual-gimbal camera, the Osmo Pocket 4P (Pro), is also officially introduced and available in Germany. In addition to a dual camera featuring a telephoto lens, it offers an unusually high dynamic range, which DJI specifies as 17 stops. And indeed, the Pocket 4P performs quite well in our dynamic range test – read more here.
DJI Osmo Pocket 4P
Up to 17 stops via Sony LOFIC technology
Built into the Osmo Pocket 4P is a brand-new 1-inch CMOS sensor from Sony. Its LOFIC and Triple Conversion Gain HDR technology enable an unusually high dynamic range even with relatively small sensor sizes (read more here).
LOFIC stores excess charge in a capacitor during overexposure instead of discarding it, thereby preserving highlights. Even more important, however, is Triple Conversion Gain HDR: the sensor reads a single exposure three times with different gains and fuses them into an image with a dynamic range of 100 dB. Additionally, a UHCG circuit reduces noise by about 30 percent compared to the predecessor model.
Furthermore, DJI has implemented the new 10-bit color profile D-Log 2 in the gimbal camera to make the most comprehensive use of the sensor data possible. However, this log profile and the high dynamic range achievable with it are only available when shooting at a maximum of 4K 60p, and—as a second limitation—only when shooting in wide-angle.
Dual camera with two true focal lengths
Compared to the Osmo Pocket 4 introduced in April, the 4P also features an additional second camera with a 3x optical telephoto lens (12x digital zoom) and a 1/1.28" sensor. According to DJI, the 60mm telephoto lens is an f/1.8 optic with a full-frame equivalent depth of field of f/6.3.
The new Sony 1-inch CMOS sensor mentioned at the beginning is housed in the main camera, which has a 20mm focal length (full-frame equivalent) and a fixed aperture of f/2.0. It supports 4K at up to 240 fps for up to 8x slow-motion recording (on the telephoto camera, the frame rate in 4K reaches up to 200 fps). In addition, there is a slow-shutter video mode for light trails and motion blur effects.
Photos can be taken at a maximum of 37MP. Also on board is a "Live Photo" mode, which automatically records 1.5-second 4K clips for every photo. Recording is done on MicroSD cards or the 103 GB internal storage. Thanks to USB 3.1, video can be read out from the internal memory or the memory card at speeds of up to 800 MB/s.
Gimbal and ActiveTrack 8.0
The Osmo Pocket 4P is similarly compact to the single-lens Pocket 4, but weighs slightly more at 230g. Its 3-axis gimbal for smooth and stable footage uses improved ActiveTrack 8.0 to keep people, vehicles, pets, or objects with dynamic shapes precisely in the center of the frame, even at 12x zoom. It prioritizes a registered subject or centers multiple subjects at any focal length using automatic framing adjustment.
The display is the same as on the Osmo Pocket 4: a 2" OLED touchscreen with a resolution of 556 x 314 pixels and a brightness of 1,000 nits. It can be rotated and can display both landscape recordings and portrait shots (or vertical videos).
The DJI Osmo Pocket 4P is designed to charge from 0 to 80 percent in 18 minutes for up to three hours of filming (depending on the shooting mode). The gimbal camera is compatible with various accessories from the Osmo ecosystem, such as a fill light, the Osmo Pocket 4P Black Mist filter and ND filter set, Osmo FrameTap, various Osmo microphones, and much more (all available separately or already included in selected combos).
DJI Osmo Pocket 4P vs. Insta360 Luna Ultra: Dual-Cam Duel
A comparison between the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P and the Insta360 Luna Ultra, which was also introduced in Germany in June (www.slashcam.de/news/single/Insta360-Luna-Ultra-ab-sofort-auch-in-Deutschland--20093.html), is inevitable: both rely on a compact gimbal design with a dual camera. Thanks to its LOFIC sensor, the Osmo Pocket 4P can offer 17 stops of dynamic range (albeit only in certain camera modes), while the Luna Ultra achieves up to 14.
DJI is also ahead in slow motion—4K240 on the 4P compared to 4K120 on the Insta360, which only achieves 240 fps in Full HD. Furthermore, the Osmo 4P offers D-Log 2, a bright, rotatable 2" OLED with up to 1,000 nits, faster charging, and more internal storage. The Luna Ultra counters with 8K video recording and, above all, its detachable display, which practically serves as both a remote control and a wireless microphone.
Price and Availability
The DJI Osmo Pocket 4P Standard Combo is available immediately for 599 euros. The Osmo Pocket 4P Vlog Combo costs 689 euros and additionally includes a DJI Mic Mini 2 wireless microphone, Osmo FrameTap, a mini tripod, and a carrying case.
