TL;DR DJI has showcased its new “professional-grade” Osmo Pocket 4P vlogging camera at the Cannes Film Festival.

Pocket 4P has been confirmed to feature two lenses, unlike Pocket 4’s one.

The company did not reveal additional details, including the specifications of the secondary camera, the pricing, or the availability.

After weeks of teasers, DJI has showcased its new Pro-tier vlogging camera with two sensors instead of just one. The Osmo Pocket 4P, which DJI says kicks off a “new era of cinematic excellence in handheld gimbal systems,” was announced at the ongoing Cannes Film Festival.

The 4P’s reveal follows the launch of the Osmo Pocket 4 last month, which comes with similar internal upgrades but a single camera. DJI says the Pocket 4P features a “next-generation imaging system,” capable of 10-bit D-Log2 colors and improved stabilization. But besides grandiloquent claims, DJI does not offer much in terms of substance, possibly because much has already been revealed through past teasers. And whatever’s left has largely been filled up by leaks.

Unlike the main sensor, which is of a 1-inch format, the 3x telephoto is rumored to pack a smaller 1/1.5-inch sensor.

It has been previously speculated that the DJI Pocket 4 and 4P will be sold under the brand name Xtra to skirt around the recent sales ban in the US. The same brand, Xtra, has been teasing lookalikes of the Pocket 4 series, along with support for 4K recording at 240fps, which is also supported on the standard model. And if that wasn’t sufficient, YouTuber Kingmi Mobile has already posted a detailed video comparing the Pocket 4P with the Pocket 4 and the previous Pocket 3.
