DJI’s banned Pocket 4P slips into the US market via third-party sellers

DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4P/4 Pro are banned from import into the US, yet US-based third‑party sellers on Temu, AliExpress, eBay, Mercari, Amazon, and Newegg are selling them, often with fast shipping. The Verge notes a buyer who spent $659.28 for a Pocket 4P Vlog Combo and received it from an Oregon fulfillment center in four days. The FCC revoked some certifications used to ground these cameras, DJI says it does not sell them in the US, and third-party sellers appear to be distributing them anyway, highlighting enforcement gaps and related loopholes like HoverAir Versa.

Pocket 4P vs iPhone 17 Pro: Precision Filmmaking Tool or Versatile All‑Round Device

The Osmo Pocket 4P is a dedicated filmmaking tool with a 1-inch sensor, mechanical gimbal, and 4K/240fps capture that delivers natural colors and strong post-production flexibility, while the iPhone 17 Pro packs a triple-camera system with computational photography, 48MP stills, and Apple Log 2 for vibrant, quick outputs. Pocket 4P offers superior stabilization and precision for professional workflows; the iPhone 17 Pro emphasizes convenience and versatility for casual to semi-professional use, with digital stabilization and some trade-offs in slow-motion and low-light performance. The choice depends on whether you need a dedicated cinema tool or an all-in-one portable device.

FrameTap Could Steal the Spotlight from DJI’s Pocket 4P

DJI's Osmo Pocket 4P brings a dual-lens pocket camera with a 1-inch sensor and a dedicated 60mm telephoto lens, 4K/240fps, and 10-bit D-Log 2, while the standout FrameTap accessory acts as a wireless viewfinder and remote gimbal controller that lets you preview footage, switch modes, and track subjects remotely—potentially making solo filming much easier. Global rollout is underway but the US launch is uncertain due to regulatory constraints; the standard Pocket 4 remains the practical choice for many buyers, as the market for pocket camera rigs grows alongside Insta360's Luna Ultra amid ongoing patent disputes.

Pocket 4P Delivers Pro-Level DR in a Pocket, but Log Woes Hold It Back

DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4P packs a dual-camera design with a LOFIC main sensor and D-Log 2 that can push impressive dynamic range, delivering superb image quality and 240fps slow-motion, but its log workflow, bulky interface, and telephoto DR penalties limit its appeal; while still a standout pocket gimbal, it’s not universally approachable, and US availability is constrained by a DJI ban.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4P: Dual-Lens Pocket Cinema with 1-Inch Sensor and D-Log 2

DJI announces the Osmo Pocket 4P, the Pocket line’s first dual-lens gimbal: a 20mm-wide lens on a new 1-inch sensor plus a 60mm tele for portraits, with 10-bit D-Log 2 and up to 4K/240 fps (wide) and 4K/200 fps (tele); firmware adds HDR and smarter fill-light, and it’s launching in Europe/UK/Canada/Australia (US pending) in Standard and Vlog combos from €599/£529.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4P Delivers Unprecedented Dynamic Range and Exposure Latitude in Lab Tests

CineD’s lab tests of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P reveal a remarkable 16 stops of dynamic range for the 20mm LOFIC wide camera (16 stops above noise, 17.2 stops at SNR 1) with 11 stops of exposure latitude in 10‑bit D-Log2, and solid rolling shutter (~11 ms at 20mm and 9.4 ms at 60mm). The 60mm tele achieves about 11.6 stops DR and ~8 stops of latitude; pushing latitude beyond ~10–11 stops shows posterization and noise due to 10‑bit compression. Overall, the camera shows outstanding performance for a sub‑$1k device, though the ARRI Alexa 35 still leads in dynamic range and latitude in cinema cam territory.

DJI files two US patent suits accusing Insta360 of copying Osmo Pocket 4P

DJI has filed two US lawsuits accusing Insta360 of infringing its design and utility patents with the Luna Ultra, arguing it closely copies the Osmo Pocket 4P. The design-patent claim covers the elongated handheld body and overall gimbal layout, while four utility patents address features like single-control mode switching, integrated subject tracking with a built-in display, image-driven gimbal commands, and a self-contained tracking system. DJI previously sued Insta360 in China over alleged employee poaching and stolen R&D. It remains to be seen whether the claims will yield an injunction to halt Luna Ultra sales in the US.

DJI Rebrands Osmo Pocket 4P in the U.S. as Xtra Muse 2 Pro to Navigate Regulation

The DJI Osmo Pocket 4P cannot launch in the U.S. due to regulatory hurdles, including lack of FCC certification and listing on the FCC’s covered list for national security concerns. DJI appears to release a nearly identical device, the Xtra Muse 2 Pro, under a different brand to maintain U.S. access. Both devices share features like a vertical dual-camera system, 4K slow-motion, 10-bit D-log, ActiveTrack 7.0, and substantial built-in storage, with DJI’s stronger aftersales network potentially influencing buyer decisions. The move illustrates how companies adapt branding to regulatory constraints while continuing to serve key markets.
