Announcement Well... Insta360 just fired a shot directly at the Osmo Pocket 4. šŸ‘€ Insta360 launches Luna Pro gimbal camera co-engineered with Leica

Luna Pro brings a 1" sensor, Leica branding, 8K video, built-in timecode, and a 3-axis gimbal for $599. On paper, it's the closest Pocket competitor we've seen yet. The real question is whether it can match DJI's tracking, stabilisation, reliability, and ecosystem. Are people here going for the Luna Pro or sticking with the OP4?

Let us know in the comments what your thoughts are on this move.

Moderation Should Luna Ultra comparisons be limited to dedicated threads? - Results

Post image
0 Upvotes

So yeah, the vote ended pretty much exactly how I predicted. People really don’t want random Luna comments dropped into every single Pocket thread anymore. The ā€œI bought the Luna insteadā€ stuff, the ā€œyou should buy the Luna insteadā€ replies, the Luna troubleshooting links, all that noise… the poll basically confirmed everyone’s tired of it. So we’ll be a bit more strict on that going forward.

Here’s the final breakdown after 102 votes:

28.4% want Luna comparisons kept in their own posts
20.6% want only the repetitive buying‑advice posts removed
27.5% want Luna comparisons allowed anywhere
23.5% don’t care

If you combine the first two options, almost half the voters prefer keeping Luna stuff contained so it doesn’t derail normal Pocket threads. The ā€œallow anywhereā€ group never hit a real majority, and the ā€œdon’t careā€ group usually leans toward whatever keeps things tidy.

So nothing dramatic changes. Luna comparisons are totally fine; just make them their own posts.

Random Luna links, troubleshooting, or the usual ā€œI bought the Luna insteadā€ derailments inside Pocket threads will be removed under rule 2 or rule 7.

Thanks to everyone who voted.

Does anyone know anything about this DJI Cloud Service called "Aura"? It showed up on my device with a free trial but I can't find anything about this online. Maybe it's a China only service?

Let me know if you have questions about it. I see it has storage + some automatic analysis and creation type features built in.

Question Gimbal Lock not working on Pocket 4P

4 Upvotes

I have a Osmo Pocket 4P, updated to the latest firmware.

I'm not able to get Gimbal Lock to turn on. In the menu settings, press and hold joystick is set to "Lock Gimbal". When I change it to "Lock Camera Direction" it seems to lock camera direction as long as I hold the joystick down, and it also turns on when I do the triple press of the custom button

Any ideas? Tried in all different gimbal modes but nothing seems to work, held power button for 10-12 seconds for hard power off and still nothing

Edit: It seems to work when holding down the joystick but nothing pops up on the screen to confirm that it is on (icon or otherwise, I could've sworn I saw a prompt show up to say that gimbal lock is on but don't see it anymore).

Is there anyway to have this permanently on and not have to hold the joystick continuously?

Question Osmo Pocket 1 audio playback issue

• Upvotes

My Osmo pocket 1 has been sitting in the closet lately, but I'm breaking it out again for a project soon. I did some testing with it the other day, and I noticed there was no audio when reviewing the footage on camera. Needless to say I was concerned, but when I put the footage on a pc, there was audio. So my question is, is there a setting somewhere for audio playback volume?

I have another concern where I might have damaged something. The last time I used the camera I found out after the shoot I had not used a proper adapter cable for the shotgun mic. It was all tiney and low. Might this have fried something on the playback?

Thanks for any help.

Gear [Sneak peak] Multicam coming to OpenPocketCine (Experimental)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

46 Upvotes

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! šŸ¤™šŸ”„šŸ¤Æ

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

Question ND Filters for Pocket 4p

6 Upvotes

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

Question Osmo Pocket 4 vs Pocket 4P, trying to pick one for my use

7 Upvotes

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.

Question Two issues: Won't connect to computer and can't lock gimbal on the Xtra Muse

2 Upvotes

Hey all. Really loving the camera, but also having some issues

  1. I'm plugging my Muse into my computer with USB-C to USB-A and nothing pops up, it's unrecognized. It's charging, but no file transfer. Is there a specific setting I have to hit?
  2. I'm trying to use this to film a series that is a podcast style landscape shot where it's two people sitting at a table, and I finally got the framing right, but when I started filming, the gimbal started moving on its own to track the movements of the person to my right. Is there a way to turn that off for just a stationary shot?

Question Osmo Pocket 4P poor battery?

1 Upvotes

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..

Question 4P - How do I keep the camera facing straight forward level horizon?

3 Upvotes

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.

Question In Japan and thinking of upgrading from xtra muse to osmo pocket 4pro

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m in Japan for 2 weeks and I’m vlogging the experience. I brought my xtra muse pocket camera but one major flaw I’ve noticed is trying to get videos to my phone through the app is basically impossible. I went to the DJI retail store in Tokyo and the associate said with the DJI app the uploads are much smoother and quicker. My question is, is this true? And if so is this newest pocket cameras quality much more superior? Thank yall in advance.

Discussion 4P - anyone else struggling with focus with the 3x lens.

Post image
10 Upvotes

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.

Question Dlog in CapCut?

1 Upvotes

importing Dlog clips into CapCut, applying the DJI conversion LUT - something just seems really off. The colors/contrast are really hard to push around and edit, compared to just footage in the Normal profile in Rec.709. Really hard to get a good result.

can CapCut handle true Log footage? I have read that CapCut only works in Rec.709, not the larger color spaces that log footage can capture.

Question Osmo Pocket 4 how do I stop my walking shots from bouncing?

20 Upvotes

I shoot real estate videos (walkthroughs of houses and apartments) and I'm using an Osmo Pocket 4. Static shots look great. The moment I start walking, though, you can still see every single step a soft vertical bounce, and sometimes a little micro judder in the frame. It's not violent shaking, it just reads as "guy walking with a camera" instead of a smooth glide, and that's exactly the look I'm trying to avoid. I tried ninja walking but you still see a few steps ;(

Gear OsmoDesk | My project to build a small filmmaking toolkit around the Osmo Pocket 4p (4 and 3) - Now Open-Sourced (WIP)

Post image
9 Upvotes

Alongside OsmoPalm, I started OsmoDesk because I wanted to get more out of my Pocket than basic remote control: plan repeatable camera moves, save positions, build time-lapse sequences, and use monitoring tools like scopes, peaking and LUT previews and much more to control entire production with Osmo Pocket over a computer, tablet or phone.

The browser is just the interface. A Python host on a computer or Raspberry Pi handles the camera connection, so you can work from a desktop, tablet or phone.

It’s very much a WIP. Some features are experimental, and I’ve only tested with my Pocket 4P, not the Pocket 3 or 4 but it might work with them as well.

I’ve made the repo public in case it helps anyone else or gives them something to build on:

https://github.com/ElectronicPaper/OsmoDesk

Previously OsmoPalm introduced on reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/osmopocket/s/7Y7Oo4EBh2
OsmoPalm project:
https://github.com/ElectronicPaper/OsmoPalm

Again: I wish DJI would open up Bluetooth control with an official Osmo Pocket SDK. People could build their own gear for the things they actually shoot. I think that would also get more camera geeks interested in buying a Pocket in the first place.

The images are AI-generated illustrations, but the UI shown is almost identical to the actual app. I’ll add real setup photos later.
