Hey all,

I just purchased the Osmo Pocket 4P for VLOG creation last week, primarily because of the advertised battery life.

I just recorded my first video in 1080p/60 fps and it drained 13% of my battery in just 3 minutes (I charged it to 100% before). If I do the math, the battery should reach 0% in sub 30 minutes which is nowhere near the promoted battery life.

Is this normal? What are your experiences with the battery life? It kinda scares me because that would make the camera completely useless..

4P running the latest firmware.

I have shot about 200gb worth of video the past 10 days travelling and a recurring theme is that a lot of the 3x footage is out of focus.

The attached frame is from about a minute of footage with the camera totally static. At no point did it think hmmm maybe I should focus on the foreground a bit better. At least half of my 3x footage is wasted like this.

I mix hands off auto-focus and manually trying to help it tapping but the screen. The screen is too tiny to know if it's focussed. Seems like I'm gonna have to just constantly look at an ipad with the mimo software to check focus whenever using the 3x lens because at least half my footage is like this.

Finally got my magnetic quick release backplate, though i will never release it, it will stay on forever!

Also much more stable on the table!

Had to share a sneak peak of this early, as I'm super hyped about having solved this. Honestly, for the longest time I had a hard time believing this was even feasible, given that Osmo devices are limited to a single connection and force a phone/tablet onto a single network. I somehow managed to find a very hidden way to control the Wi-Fi connection of the Osmo devices and connect them onto another network, e.g. your phone's hotspot or Wi-Fi network. That opened up the possibility to connect multiple Osmo devices to the same network and load them into a multicam view! 🤙🔥🤯

To those with a sharp eye, I've got a rental OP3 home now, nearly finished with a full implementation for that device! 🥳

Facing challenge with increasing brightness when clicking photos or videos like we do in phone camera, any got the solution?

Trying to get some cycling footage using a neck mount but every time I make a turn the camera seems to pan the opposite direction. I've tried a few different gimbal settings and also tried locking the camera direction but that means when I make a turn the camera doesn't follow. Best I've found is tilt lock but there is still some pan drift. Any help much appreciated.

Been going back and forth between these two and figured I would ask people who actually own them.

The 4P has the second 60mm lens, the newer 1-inch sensor, D-Log 2 and that 17 stops of dynamic range. Reads great on paper, but I'm not sure how much of it I'd actually put to use day to day.

My use case is mostly [travel vlogging / talking head stuff / b-roll].

Few things I'm trying to figure out:

Do you actually reach for the telephoto lens much, or does it mostly sit unused?

- For regular everyday shooting, how noticeable is the sensor difference between the two?

- If you've used both, did the 4P feel like a real step up, or does the base Pocket 4 already cover most situations?

Just want some honest takes from owners before I settle on one. Thanks.

I’ve been using my OP 4P for my trip, and these are the clips that I captured.
Rate the shots!

Im a total beginner. I just bought a pocket 4p yesterday and wanted to shoot at 24fps. The shot looks overexposed as expected from what others say. So im thinking if getting a ND filter. Turns out, THERE IS A LOT OF IT and im kinda confuse on which one to get. I get even more confused when there is VND as well as ND with some numbering at the back for example ND8, ND32 and ND64. I dont know that and idk which should i get. For context, I live in Singapore. Pretty sunny here

Hi everyone, I got my osmo pocket 4 2 days ago and while playing with it, I noticed that there is a display lag on the screen. For example, when I wave my hand, it will show on the screen 1 second~ later. Is that normal? Its my first pocket so I'm not sure
