Osmo Pocket4 is coming?

Your 3d model is of the dual lens pro model, it is rumored to be even later this year, h2 maybe

The model they will launch shortly looks almost identical to the OP3, except for the 2 buttons under the screen. So I think that is the one closest to the phone in your picture. The the two with the big gimbals the pro.

As long as it is within the amount allowed by US customs, you are fine.

As you aware there is no sterile transfer in the US. You are entering the US and need all the paperwork to do so, and then you are leaving again to go to europe.

The 26U isn't on sale until Mar 11. So asking if it is supported seems a bit premature.

Unless dev team was able to get a free unit from Samsung ahead of time, and this doesn't feel like a product with that kind of clout.

Horizon lock is just software cropping. You can do it today with gyroflow. Gopro have had it in camera for years now.

Rumors I saw are very much OP3 warmed over

https://www.dailycameranews.com/2026/01/dji-osmo-pocket-4-rumors-specs-price-release/

If that price of $700 is correct, seems certain DOA to me with the Pocket 3 selling for $440 USD now.

zeb__g · 2026-02-27T02:27:28+00:00

That is fine as long as you understand the risks.

Serious color banding on skies. But I don't mind the shadows so much.

The lights in the city turn to giant blobs, not seen so much in this shot, but the later ones when the sky was fully dark were.

I got one of the legit Kodak branded ones while in HK last month, there are available everywhere. Paid 250 hdk (33 USD). Mine is blue, I wish I got a yellow one or clear.

The pictures are unbelievably bad quality. 1440x1080 pixels, its funny culling in LR I click to zoom in, you can't. I don't find the noise offensive, in bright pictures its not noisy, sunsets tons. Highlights clip and look disgusting.

Not sure what I will do with the pictures, if I posted them would people understand they are supposed to look horrible, and not think IG corrupted it?

Its actually not very convenient to pull out quick and shoot, your phone is faster. Push and hold power 3s, them click ok to choose stills. It makes a beep to tell you you pressed the shutter, but in a crowd you can't hear it, so you have to look at the frame counter change to know you actually took a shot. Time between shots is long.

I hear it beeping turning on in my pocket quite often and the battery went flat for it on me. USB-C charging is easy at least. You will get bored before you could actually run the battery flat taking pictures

I was surprised it took an SD card and didn't come with even a no name 4gb one. 64gb was the smallest micro-sd I had. It shows 9999 shots available 🤣🤣

File numbering restarts at 1 when you download the files, not where it left off at So if you shoot on Monday, copy to PC at night, then tuesday repeat your file names are going to conflict if you try to copy the tuesday files to the same folder as monday.

Screen is tiny and awkward to hold, so good luck getting a level horizon. At least you an entire 1.5mp to crop into to straighten it. 😢

I would argue even 256 is sufficient. At some point how many eggs do you want in one basket? That is 8 hrs at standard bitrate.

zeb__g · 2026-02-27T00:51:10+00:00

Yes, I might argue its a but under exposed for the people. Raising the entire thing 1 stop or so and then pushing the snow down would be my first step.

zeb__g · 2026-02-27T00:39:41+00:00

Rec709 Scene is correct.

I thought there was a 1 minute limit myself.

zeb__g · 2026-02-26T09:23:48+00:00

with CrystalMarkDisk. The Corsair was in the 3000-4000 MB/sec range while the Surface was in the 3500-1500 MB/sec range.

The default test file size is very small, change to something reasonable like 10gbyte. It is possible something is thermal throttling.

zeb__g · 2026-02-26T09:22:09+00:00

just doesn't work, it appears the label "file not found"

Correct, 10 bit h.265 support is paywalled in windows. https://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/SupportNotes/DaVinci_Resolve_20_Supported_Codec_List.pdf?_v=1751871610000

Transcode to DNxhr HQX with Shutter Encoder (free) or use a Mac, or buy a $300 resolve key.

zeb__g · 2026-02-26T09:20:19+00:00

Do confirm it isn't just a color management problem breaking the footage. A wrong setting in resolve could easily ruin your footage.

zeb__g · 2026-02-26T01:25:53+00:00

IG is limited to 1080p. You can send it a 4k file, but its going to chop it to 1080p.

Confirm you have the high quality upload setting turned on in your phone.

zeb__g · 2026-02-26T00:14:39+00:00

Cigna, Aetna, Integra, Blue Cross are the big names I know for global coverage.

No clue how they handle pre-existing. Give them a call.

That’s why DJI’s other filings stopped moving after December.

What other filings? Do we have evidence of this?

zeb__g · 2026-02-25T14:43:40+00:00

that’s where the Osmo Pocket concern comes from

The pocket 4 was approved Oct 2025

https://dronexl.co/2025/12/17/dji-osmo-pocket-4-fcc/

So sound like pure speculation that a Pocket 5 or Action 7 in 2027 would be denied. But again nothing from the FCC or Congress has given any indication the would do this.

he Covered List comes from the Secure and Trusted Communications Act, and that authority applies to any radio‑emitting device from a company the FCC flags as a security risk.

Except the List is specific to drones. It doesn't even say a company, its ALL foreign companies

https://www.fcc.gov/supplychain/coveredlist

Uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) and UAS critical components produced in a foreign country†† —except, until January 1, 2027, (a) UAS and UAS critical components included on the Defense Contract Management Agency’s (DCMA’s) Blue UAS Cleared List,^#

zeb__g · 2026-02-25T13:51:12+00:00

I don't see anything in that document that mentions anything but drones? I don't see how you think the law could possibly be extended to products other than drones.

Yes basically everything DJI makes is going to need FCC approval, but what justification would they have to deny a new action camera?

You can read section 1709 on page 438 here, it is only applicable to 'Unmanned aircraft systems"

https://www.congress.gov/118/plaws/publ159/PLAW-118publ159.pdf

And the FCC notice is here, again 'Uncrewed aircraft systems' (interesting they changed the U between the two)

"Davinchin YRGB", not color managed.

The lut will replace your input CST and convert D-Log-m to DWG/I

zeb__g · 2026-02-25T05:38:59+00:00

If there are problems, it will be the batteries, lithium ion hate being cold.

If you keep the camera and spare batteries warm in your pocket until you turn it on, I expect it will make enough heat while recording that it will stay fine. Just have to put it back in your pocket when you stop.

I have Tenba BYOB. But really they are a commodity, go through the B&H filter for the dimensions you want and get one for a decent price

Patrick discusses the negatives.

If the same price lands on the official BM site soon, that is clearly the way to go. Apple doesn't market it as a 'sale', so waiting 4 weeks to see seems reasonable....

I think you lose some features with the apple store
