Creators outside China now have their first hard date for DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4 Pro: June 29, 2026, at 21:00 in Japan, a timing clue that points to wider availability before July.
DJI Japan posted the date on X and its website, a week after the camera launched in China, according to Notebookcheck. The device is being marketed as the Osmo Pocket 4P, and its biggest hardware shift is a dual-camera setup led by a 1-inch primary camera and a secondary 3x zoom lens.
June 29 Japan drop turns the Osmo Pocket 4P into an international launch
DJI has not issued a full global rollout schedule yet. But Japan is now confirmed, which moves the Osmo Pocket 4P beyond a China-only release.
The Japan launch is set for June 29 at 21:00 local time. Notebookcheck notes that this converts to 12:00 UTC on June 30, putting the international timing just ahead of July 2026.
DJI Japan’s teaser uses the Japanese version of the product line’s new campaign language:
広がる世界、あふれる物語
Osmo Pocket 4P
デュアルレンズシネマティックポケットジンバルカメラ
2026年6月29日｜21:00（日本時間）
The phrasing matters because DJI is not only teasing a product page. It is naming the device, confirming the date, and describing the camera as a dual-lens cinematic pocket gimbal camera.
Notebookcheck also reports that DJI is still showing the Osmo Pocket 4P as “coming soon” in other markets. That leaves the broader global release technically unconfirmed, even if the Japan timing strongly suggests DJI is preparing a wider launch window around the same date.
The company usually does not split major consumer camera launches into long, isolated regional releases, Notebookcheck observed. That is why the June 30 UTC conversion is the date to watch for buyers outside Japan.
DJI’s Pro pocket camera adds the missing lens—but not the missing global details
The Osmo Pocket 4P separates itself from the Osmo Pocket 4 and Osmo Pocket 3 with one obvious addition: a second camera lens.
Notebookcheck says the new model is DJI’s first Pro-branded vlogging camera and includes a 3x zoom lens. That changes the Pocket line’s shooting logic. Instead of relying on one focal option in a stabilized handheld body, the Pro model gives creators another native framing choice without changing devices.
That is the core upgrade DJI is putting forward. Not a confirmed price. Not a confirmed battery claim. Not a confirmed resolution spec in the Notebookcheck report. The verified story is narrower: dual lenses, 1-inch primary camera, 3x zoom, and a Japan release date.
For creators, the practical appeal is clear enough without overstating the spec sheet. A pocket gimbal camera with a wider primary view and a dedicated zoom lens can cover more shots from the same small device: close framing, tighter product shots, travel clips, street scenes, or event footage where walking closer is not always possible.
That does not mean DJI has confirmed every creator-facing detail. Buyers still need the final regional product pages before making comparisons against existing DJI Pocket models or other camera setups.

The Osmo Pocket 4P sits in a different category, but the same buyer question applies: does the hardware add enough control and flexibility to justify an upgrade?
The June 30 UTC clue puts buyers on retailer-watch before July
The next signal will come from DJI’s own regional stores, retailer listings, or certification-related appearances. For now, Japan is the only market in the supplied source material with a dated launch.
That creates a short checklist for buyers waiting outside China:
- Release countries: DJI has not confirmed which other markets will get the Osmo Pocket 4P at the same time as Japan.
- Preorder timing: No preorder window is listed in the Notebookcheck report.
- Retail pricing: Final international pricing remains unconfirmed in the verified source.
- Bundles and accessories: DJI has not detailed region-specific kits in the supplied material.
- Naming: DJI Japan uses Osmo Pocket 4P, while the device is also being referred to as Osmo Pocket 4 Pro.
The name split is not just cosmetic. Search listings, retail pages, accessories, and firmware references may use either label during rollout. Buyers should check both Osmo Pocket 4P and Osmo Pocket 4 Pro if they are tracking availability.
The safest read is this: DJI has now placed its latest pocket vlogging camera on an international calendar, but not yet on a fully global one.
If the June 29 Japan / June 30 UTC timing expands to other DJI regions, the Osmo Pocket 4P could become available internationally before July 2026. If not, Japan becomes the first confirmed post-China market while everyone else waits for DJI’s “coming soon” pages to turn into launch pages.
The Bottom Line
- DJI has confirmed the first non-China launch date for the Osmo Pocket 4P.
- The Japan timing suggests wider international availability could follow before July 2026.
- The new dual-camera design with a 1-inch main sensor and 3x zoom lens marks a major hardware upgrade for creators.
