00:00This is the DJI Osmo Pocket 4, the follow-up to the best-selling Pocket 3 vlogging camera.
00:05It's not a huge upgrade, nonetheless it still looks like a polished successor that could be
00:10worth swapping out the Pocket 3 for. Here are 7 of the biggest changes you can expect.
00:141. Video Quality
00:15We get a 1-inch sensor again, but its 4K video output is optimized with 14-stops dynamic range
00:21and 10-bit colour depth, with a D-Log colour profile available in the Pro setting.
00:25Want a baked-in look? There are 6 new film tones to choose from.
00:282. 4K slow-mo recording, which is up from 120fps to 240fps in the slow-motion setting as 8x slow
00:36-mo.
00:363. Subject Tracking
00:37DJI's next-gen ActiveTrack features for some of the stickiest subject tracking I've seen.
00:42Simply double-tack the subject, with support for people, vehicles, pets and more,
00:46and the Pocket 4 will keep the subject in the centre of the frame.
00:494. Photo Skills
00:50Resolution has been up from 9.4MP to 37MP in the Super Photo mode for more detailed snaps.
00:57The 2x lossless zoom can now be used in photo mode and when ActiveTrack is in play.
01:015. Controls
01:02The joystick, which controls the gimbal, has been upgraded and responds to how verbally you push it.
01:07There are also two new buttons under the screen, visible when the display is horizontal,
01:11providing shortcuts to controls such as zoom.
01:136. Battery Life
01:14DJI has fitted a high-capacity 1545mAh battery. That's 20% more juice compared to the Pocket 3's 1300mAh unit.
01:237. Memory
01:24The Pocket 4 features 107GB of built-in storage, while the Pocket 3 has none at all,
01:29while both can record onto microSD. There's next-gen WiFi 6 and USB 3.1 support,
01:35plus faster wired transfer speeds too. There are a few more additional features in the Pocket 4,
01:39but those 7 are the big ones and it feels like an all-round more polished vlogging camera.
01:43The Pocket 4 costs £429 or AUD749 for the Essential combo. That's £549 or AUD949 for the Creator combo,
01:53which includes a wireless mic and a snap-on light among other extras.
01:57There's no US pricing or availability at launch.
02:00But what do you reckon? Is the Pocket 4 a vlogging camera worth upgrading for?
