DJI's new dual-lens, 3x zoom Osmo Pocket camera is here
- article by New Atlas
“What better place to pull the covers off of your latest and greatest pocket camera than the Cannes Film Festival? "By unveiling the Osmo Pocket 4P at one of the most prestigious stages in global filmmaking, DJI signals a bold evolution of the Pocket series from a creator tool into a cinematic imaging device capable of professional-grade storytelling," says the company.
That statement pretty much sums up the new Pocket 4P camera, which is aimed at professional, independent filmmakers as opposed to the Pocket 4, which is meant for everyday vlogging and mainstream content creation. "In Cannes, the Osmo Pocket 4P is already being explored by filmmakers, documentary creators, and visual storytellers seeking agile, high-quality production tools," the company notes.
It comes packed with powerful yet compact hardware, though details are slim at the moment, given this was more of a reveal than an official launch. What we do know is that it builds on both the Ronin and Inspire ranges of cameras, now boasting full 10-bit D-Log2 color, with a "cinematic-level dynamic range" and "rich tonal depth.”

DJI's new phone gimbal gets a detachable display for remote framing
- article by New Atlas
“With the new Osmo Mobile 8P, DJI's borrowing a handy feature from its high-end Ronin gimbals for mirrorless cameras for its latest smartphone stabilizer – and then taking things up a notch.
Like the Ronin lineup, you now have a touchscreen monitor on the Osmo Mobile 8P's handle to let you see what you're shooting on your phone. The cool thing is you can actually snap this display off the handle and use it as a remote monitor and trigger, making the gimbal a far more versatile tool for composing shots.
The magnetic FrameTap remote, as it's called, mirrors your phone's view on its little screen. That lets you compose selfies and direct solo vlogging shots with a lot more flexibility. It also has the joystick and record button on there, so you can control the gimbal's movement and zoom, and start capturing video right away.”
