A second lens makes DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4P my new favorite video camera
The DJI Osmo Pocket 4P introduces a dual-lens system, offering improved versatility for video creators, though it remains unavailable in the U.S. due to ongoing regulatory restrictions. The review compares its performance and value against competitors like the Insta360 Luna Ultra.
Why it matters
The product launch highlights the ongoing impact of U.S. regulatory actions on Chinese tech companies and the resulting market fragmentation for consumers.
DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4P is a pretty simple proposition: an Osmo Pocket 4 with a second camera lens slapped inside. But is that extra lens worth the added size, weight, and cost relative to the regular Pocket 4? And how does it compare to the only rival on the market, Insta360’s dual-lens Luna Ultra?
It depends on what you’re filming. But I think most prospective buyers would get plenty of use out of the 4P’s 3x telephoto lens, and its quality is certainly impressive. Meanwhile, DJI has managed to undercut Insta360 on price while at least matching it on quality. For most, this will be the better buy, though the Luna Ultra has one major advantage: You can actually buy it in the US.
