DJI’s Osmo Pocket is a teeny handheld camera that shoots 4K

Good things come in extremely small packages

A super powerful camera in your pocket?! You’ve..well, you’ve had one of those for ages. But a smartphone can’t capture gloriously wobble-free 4K footage like DJI’s new Osmo Pocket now can it? The Pocket is the smallest 3-axis stabilised handheld camera DJI has ever made, weighing in at just 116g. The mechanical gimbal is paired with a 1/2.3in CMOS sensor that can shoot 4K at 60fps for up to 140 minutes, although you’re likely to get closer to that if you knock it down to 30fps. There’s a little touchscreen for lining up your shot and switching between modes like ActiveTrack (follow a subject) and FaceTrack (follow your mush), but if that’s all a bit awkward you can use your phone instead. A waterproof case and extension rod are just a few of the accessories DJI is offering, and it’s pretty clear that it’s aiming for GoPro levels of versatility. Pre-order now for £329.

About

I'm fascinated by all things tech, but if you were going to leave me on a desert island, I'd probably ask for my Nintendo Switch, a drone, and a pair of noise-cancelling cans to block out the relentless seagull racket. When I'm not on Stuff duty you'll probably find me subscribing to too many podcasts, playing too many video games, or telling anyone who will listen that Spurs are going to win a trophy this season.
