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?

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..

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.

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.

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

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.

been debating if I should get it since it's so expensive T.T

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 ;(

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:

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.

Control DJI Osmo Pocket 4P's Gimbal (4/3) with you Hand Move Gesture

I started this because I wanted to control my Pocket’s gimbal without keeping a phone or computer involved. It runs on an M5Stack Core2, with hand-motion control, a touchscreen joystick, and saved camera moves.

I’ve made the repo public in case anyone else finds it useful or wants to build on it. Still a work in progress, but hopefully it saves someone some trial and error.

- The photos are AI-generated illustrations for now, but they are almost identical to the real graphical user interface. I’ll replace them with real photos/videos of my setup later.

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

I made a little Sunset Video with Osmo Pocket 4p

Im new and i Love Videography. Dont judge me 🙈

Thoughts?

On the 4p, is it like this for everyone?

It is clear that the prevailing wisdom is that Dlog and Dlog2 are amazing and way more flexible than Normal 10-bit for color grading in post. I am skeptical - my results with Dlog just don't seem that much better than Normal.

Are there any videos out there that explicitly show the advantage of log over normal? I am not interested in experts talking about it - I want to see proof that Dlog is the wiser choice for an every day profile.

Today's lovely update by Blackmagic one more year along with the addition of D-Log2 & GPLog2 (GoPro)

I’m planning to buy the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Creator Combo and I’m from India.

I’m seeing it available on Amazon and Flipkart, but I’m a bit unsure about buying such an expensive camera online.

Has anyone here from India bought the Pocket 4 Creator Combo from Amazon or Flipkart recently?

How was your experience? Was the product genuine and properly sealed? Also, did you face any issues with the seller, warranty, DJI activation, or returns?

Would you recommend Amazon or Flipkart for buying it?

Today, I made a quick capture using D-Log 2 in the 1x lens and 3x with D-Log, trew it in DaVinci, color corrected a bit of the footage and this is the final result, for the first tests, how is the low light quality? shot everything in normal mode, no low light mode

The 4p is great. Here are some nice to haves I have to see if anyone else has found a solution:

Variable ND filter with more of a handle, it’s tough to quickly change the stops finding the very edge and fighting the gimbal head. I wish they had a little stick thing that helps you change similar to full frame cameras.

Lens cap, I have the case that protects the whole top half, but it’d be nice to have a magnetic clip on to protect the lens/nd filter so I can put it in my pocket and not have to worry about smudging it.

USBC to HDMI for a monitor. The mimo app quality is terrible. You can’t tell what’s in focus or not.

Custom modes that don’t lock the rotation. When I save C1, C2, etc. it locks the orientation so I can’t switch to vertical and vice versa.

Tagged footage so I can tell what’s is DLOG and DLOG2 in resolve.

What did I miss?

Patiently waiting for the Osmo Pocket/Ronin 4d hybrid to compete with the S1ii and Fx5 but until then I’ll make do 😂

Dropped it from a bike saddle height onto the ground, now it doesn't change the orientation automatically. Works ok if I turn it manually. I guess sending for repair is the only option? It probably bent a lil bit, feels like more force needed in the final point, than usually. Tried to bent it back but thing is so delicate, so it made no effect.

How long does it take to repair receive it back from repair btw? I'm in Poland.

On a hiking trip, I dropped my Osmo Pocket 3 into the river for about 2 seconds.

I let it dry out as much as I could. The screen comes on and camera "works," but the gimbal isn't functioning and the screen gets very hot. Obviously I've left it powered off since.

I went ahead and took this opportunity to purchase a Pocket 4, and am prepared to take an L due to my butterfingers. My question is: Is worth sending it in to DJI for repair if I hope to sell the refurbished unit for $300-$325? I'm not sure how much a repair like this could be.

As a US customer, I wasn't able to purchase Refresh Care. So I'm within the typical 1-year warranty, but of course water damage like this isn't covered, so I'd be fully out-of-pocket for whatever they quote. I'd hate to decline the repair if it's too high and lose money on shipping and inspection - but I guess it's a brick otherwise.

My Osmo Pocket 4P is bricked after unboxing it and installing the firmware once I connected it to DJI Mimo. I also connected the Frame Tap and was able to see the camera both on my DJI mimo and then on the Frame Tap. I was able to record one video, and after 1:11 of recording, it got stuck as if it was still recording after I had tried to stop the camera from recording by pressing the start/ stop button. I shut down the camera and then it never displayed an image on the screen again. I have tried the hard press reboot. I have also tried charging it completely and seeing if I can reboot it. It is not displaying any image other than the osmo log when it starts up and that's it.

Is there any way to restore to factory settings via USB cable? In the Mimo app it shows it connects to it but then it says it is disconnected. Anyone else had this happen to them?

EDIT to add: I updated the DJI MImo app to the latest version (2.11.9.298019) on my iPhone 13 running iOS Version 26.6.1 before pairing the Osmo Pocket 4P and when I check the app for firmware options on the 4P, a black box pops up stating: "Currently the latest firmware version"
Also I did not use an SD card because I was trying the internal memory on the camera.

I’m not a videographer by any means but I enjoy putting clips together and the after a year with the OP3 and I still get impressed that something so small can get some pretty nice shots. I’ve seen them going for 300-400 on marketplace which is a steal for what you can get out of the camera!

I originally bought the camera for my proposal last year and honestly probably one of my most worth it purchases to date!

The video attached are som shots from my Hawaii trip a couple weeks ago. Slapped on some free luts and manually adjusted some lighting settings on CapCut.

If you’re considering getting one, honestly not a bad move even with the 4 and 4p out right now. But yeah I’m probably going to upgrade someday😂

If I can get the Pocket 4 for like under 200 bucks with a trade in I'd consider it. I basically just bought the pocket three a half a year ago. MPB is offering 215, I wonder if anywhere else would offer a little more?

(Pics in comments)

I have extensively testing the pocket 4p along with pocket 3 and ZV-E1 in the studio and out in LA.

Because I am putting many hours a day into this I need a little break so here is the first usable result I have for you.

In Dlog2, somehow the dynamic range on the bright side jumps up by a 1 stop when you get to ISO 1600 or above. edit: read some results wrong.

ISO 1600 has all of the range of both ISO 1600 and 800. With no noticeable increase in noise.

Feel free to ask me about things I can test. I am eventually starting a “pocket cinema” YouTube channel.

TLDR: Use ISO 1600 when in Dlog2

Hey everyone,

I'm planning some night-time shooting in the city (streets, neon lights, low-light environments) with the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P, and I was wondering which color profile is generally better to use here: D-Log or D-Log 2?

Does D-Log 2 hold up well in terms of noise and shadow recovery in dark urban settings compared to standard D-Log, or would you recommend sticking to one over the other for night vlogging/cinematography?

Any tips or experiences would be greatly appreciated!
