• Expect the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 on April 16
• The vlogging camera has been long rumored
• Insta360 is also launching the Luna soon

The build-up to the launch of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 has been a long and busy one, but we now have an official date for the unveiling of the vlogging camera — while further leaks appear for a rival device from Insta360.

DJI has posted a teaser clip to social media that tells us the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 will launch on Thursday, April 16. The reveal begins at 12pm GMT, which works out as 4am PT / 7am ET / 9pm AEST in Australia, so get your calendars marked accordingly.

The camera isn't mentioned by name, but we do get a pretty good glimpse of it, with the tagline "the world in my pocket". In Japanese, the tagline translates as "the world expands", which may hint at expanded camera sensor capabilities.

As Notebookcheck points out, that hints at a wider native focal length on the new camera, together with support for the Open Gate standard, as offered by the iPhone 17 Pro — it means more of the sensor area can be used for filming.

DJI vs Insta360

The official announcement hasn't stopped the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 leaks from appearing. Regular tipster Igor Bogdanov (via Notebookcheck) has posted more renders of the camera ahead of time, showing its tweaked design—with two extra console buttons.

Among the other upgrades that have been tipped are improvements to the 1-inch sensor that allow in more light and improve photo and video quality, and an additional camera a potential possibility for a Pro version of the device.

However, DJI might immediately have some competition for its new camera. Again we're indebted to Igor Bogdanov for the leak, this time for the Insta360 Luna: it's described as a "more interesting" version of what DJI is about to unveil.

The Insta360 Luna is official, sort of, having already been announced — but we don't know exactly when it's going to go on sale, or any of the specs we can expect. For consumers though, more choice and more competition is most definitely welcome.
