DJI’s little stick-style vlogging cameras have basically colonized the space between “handy gadget” and “serious tool.” You see them everywhere—trade show aisles, crowded press demos, and in the hands of people who somehow have perfect lighting even under fluorescent hum.
The Osmo Pocket 3 set a pretty high bar, and honestly, it was hard to fault: sharp focus, strong image stabilization, and straightforward shooting that handled both vertical and horizontal video without making everything feel like a compromise.
DJI’s upgrade: sensor, speed, and battery
In practice, that means you’re less likely to run into that moment where your footage looks good on-screen but you can tell it wasn’t working as hard as it could’ve.
And yeah, the camera now also includes a dedicated zoom button, which feels like one of those small physical decisions that only becomes obvious once you’ve used it.
You can assign up to three controls to that zoom button via single, double, and triple clicks.
It’s not just “zoom, go”—it’s more of a workflow you can tailor.
There’s also 107GB of internal storage built in.
For a lot of people, that’s the practical win: you can start shooting without immediately hunting for extra cards, cables, or excuses.
Misryoum editorial desk noted the storage is plenty to get going, and the whole setup keeps that Pocket line’s main vibe intact: grab it, hit record, and don’t overthink.
But… and it’s a big but—the price is still hanging around like a wet hoodie.
Misryoum review by James Trew highlights the Osmo Pocket 4 is “the one to beat,” yet the $605 price is listed as the notable exception.
That’s the kind of detail that can make people hesitate, especially if they’re coming from Pocket 3 and already feel like they’ve got the basics handled.
What’s missing: optical zoom and weather protection
And while you’re weighing whether to jump, the broader tech noise continues—because of course it does.
Misryoum newsroom reported YouTube rolled out the ability to set your Shorts feed limit to zero minutes, after the lowest option had been 15 minutes since October last year.
The whole “priority placement of shorts” approach has rankled people for a while, and this feels like the closest thing to a reset button.
Somewhere else, Misryoum editorial desk noted a full trailer for the newest attempt to bring Street Fighter to cinemas, with Ken and Ryu squabbling, M.
Bison leading an international crime org, and Chun-Li planning to take him down—while casting includes Jason Momoa as Blanka, Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson as Balrog, and Orville Peck as Vega.
(I watched the preview between errands—there was that familiar “fresh coffee” smell from the café as the trailer hit the screen, and then I just sat there thinking, “okay, this is going to be silly.”)
Anyway, back to the Pocket 4: it looks like the better all-around pocket camera on paper—just be ready for the fact that the improvements don’t come cheap.
If you’re chasing compact stability and cleaner capture, it’s hard not to get tempted.
But if you were hoping for weather resistance or optical zoom, you might find yourself stalling, staring at the specs, then looking at your budget again—actually, you know what, maybe that’s the whole story here.
