SCIENCE & TECH: Don’t wait for the rumored DJI Pocket 4 — the ‘amazing’ Pocket 3 is cheaper than ever right now

The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is a huge success story, seemingly in the hands of most creators and vloggers worldwide. And with good reason; the gimbal-mounted camera shoots super-smooth stabilized 4K video and packs neat features for solo creators, such as a swivel monitor for vertical or horizontal shooting and one-push selfies.

Yes, it’s almost three years old now, and there’s potentially the rumored Pocket 4 on the horizon — as a steady stream of leaks suggests — but the Pocket 3 is still a top performer today — and it just fell to a low price for the Amazon Spring Deal Days (and beyond, until at March 23 at least). The Standard Combo costs £329 at Amazon (was £389), while the Creator Combo costs £405 at Amazon (was £499).

Should it land, there’s every chance the Pocket 4 will be a meaty upgrade of the Pocket 3, but I also expect it will also cost much more. And with the Pocket 3, you’re already getting smartphone-beating stabilized video and a large 1-inch sensor for crisp-quality 4K content up to 60fps. Direct compatibility with DJI‘s superb wireless mics makes pro audio a cinch — and the Creator Combo comes with a DJI Mic 2 transmitter, making the bundle a bargain.

The Pocket 3 first launched for £489 for the Standard bundle, and has since dropped to £389 and now £329 in this sale price. I expect a potential Pocket 4 to launch for a similar initial price of around £500, so the Pocket 3 is likely to be the value pick.

A previous Pocket 4 leak seemingly revealed the design of the next-gen model to be largely the same, besides a couple of additional mystery buttons and an LED light (likely optional, and which could work with the Pocket 3).

There are also rumors that there will be two upcoming models, the Pocket 4 and a twin-lens Pocket 4 Pro. The New Camera reports that a Pro model will feature wide and telephoto lenses, 6K video up to 60fps, 4K video up to 240fps and support gesture control.

We’re also expecting a wave of rival pocket gimbal cameras, from the Insta360 Luna to the Honor Robot phone revealed at MWC 2026

So where does this leave the Pocket 3, and should you buy it? I think there will be enough of a price gap for it to remain available, and for many solo vloggers it will serve their needs perfectly, and for a much lower price than the latest models.

For now, the Pocket 3 remains in top spot of my best vlogging cameras guide, and I recomend it in this deal, especially the Creator Combo.
