Hey everyone! 🎬

I wanted to share something I've been working on! OpenPocketCine, a full-featured field monitor app for the Osmo Pocket 4P (with support for the rest of the Osmo Pocket lineup hopefully coming soon).

The Pocket's built-in screen works in a pinch or for quick run-and-gun shooting, but for anything even slightly serious, gauging exposure on that tiny display is tough, especially without monitoring tools. So I built the monitoring app I wished existed!

Monitoring tools:

• Custom LUTs
• Focus peaking
• False color
• Zebras
• Waveform, RGB parade, and vectorscope
• RED cinema–inspired traffic lights

...and much more

Full camera control, no DJI Mimo required.

Start/stop recording, change settings, everything, the app completely bypasses the Mimo app. Media playback and downloading directly off the Pocket is also planned.

Bonus fixes:

• Fixed the annoying inability to zoom in D-Log2, the app automatically dips from D-Log2 to D-Log to allow zooming (shown in the demo posted below)
• A fix for the exposure shift is currently in progress (not demoed yet)

And the best part! it will be completely free and open source.

Cheers! 🎥

From my previous post, there was an accessory a little special in my equipment and I wanted to show it to you since (there will be a second video in the comment) . So here's the beast : The Mini Ronin 4D! 😆

Here's the link if you looking to buy one : https://www.smallrig.com/eu/handheld-shock-absorber-arm-for-dji-osmo-pocket-4.html

Heads up, looks like DJI pushed a quiet OTA update for the Pocket 4P today. It isn’t on the official release notes yet, but the update includes a few new things:

• Diagonal 45° joystick movement
• Updated D Log to Rec.709 and Rec.709 vivid LUTs to v2.0
• Added D Log 10 bit colour mode for slow motion
• Some interaction tweaks and image quality improvements
• Usual bug fixes

DJI hasn’t published anything about this build yet, so this seems to be one of their silent Mimo updates. If you’re seeing it too, you’re not imagining things.

I wanted to see just how cinematic I could make my home look using the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P.

This entire video was shot on the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P in 4K 24fps, using D-Log2, a 1/50 shutter speed, and a 2-32 variable ND filters to maintain a cinematic 180° shutter angle in bright daylight.

The footage was then color graded to bring out the dynamic range and create a more cinematic, film-like look.

Please, it's not finished and I'm still waiting for some accessories for my Osmo Pocket 4 but I was so excited to share with y'all !

These filters are game changer for hard daylight !

I'm glade to have that Smallrig kit + PGYTECH acessories like that Black Mist 1/4 filter and one magnetic extension, pretty good and strung like hell on metal (won't go anywhere tfus me) but that Handheld Shock Absorber Arm, omg this awesome !

(some some will hate) but have one more stabilized axis (Z axis), I'll never say non to another one and get smoother results in my BTS and especially when I'm working and I need to shoot people running, animal's or going fast and I need to chase the object/person.

I use the arm only when I need, Otherwise most of the time I have my phone on the charge of the osmo to have a rendering with color folds and a larger screen and above all, I use a wooden Smallrig handle (sorry I forgot the reference)@

No up and down movement, that's crazy work from SmallGear.

Combined with Gyroflow, that's Mind blowing since you can use an action cam too thanks to the weights which is sold with.

I thought I'll regret to buy this one instead of the 4P but I couldn't wait and now that the 4P is out, it's meh to "upgrade" even the "D-Log 2 is practically the same for the normalbpeople eye and juste an x12 zoom,...

I prefer to wait to broke my cam, 12x zoom is not that trash but it is just not worth it to pay another 499+100€...😛

But sorry SmallGear cause Tilta have some pretty good stuff too !😵‍💫

Massive shoutout to everyone who posts cool stuff, helps confused newcomers, reports the daily flood of spam, and generally keeps this place from turning into a digital landfill. You’re the reason this tiny camera cult keeps growing instead of collapsing under its own weirdness.

We, the mod team, appreciate every single one of you. Even the ones who argue about ND filters at 3 am.

Onwards to 50K, or whatever number Reddit decides to throw at us next.

I'd placed an order on the Osmo Pocket 4P on launch day here in Canada and it still hasn't shipped, keeps showing Warehouse processing your order.

I've contacted DJI support numerous times and they're saying the shipment is delayed and they're working on getting it to me asap.

I just want to know is it really the case, like are others not getting the Osmo Pocket 4P orders?
Support has not been helpful either, I'd cancel the order and try to place it again but if it's a genuine case I don't want to lose my spot in receiving the device.

TLDR: Ordered the Osmo Pocket 4P on July 31st and I still haven't received it as of August 18th.

Holly shit..

Shot in D-Log2 & D-Log. Color matched in premiere.

Absolute madness that we are able to get this kind of footage from that small of a camera.

My osmo is having trouble focusing on the sky; the glare is from the smoke of a campfire. Why isn't it focusing on the stars? What should I do?

OP3. Shot in auto, 3K60 I believe, with a Neewer ND filter set to 3/6. Standard color.

Background and even her pants are more in-focus than her face. Skin highlights and lowlights aren't there. I was able to improve the image a bit in post, but am curious to hear what others have to suggest. One challenge I faced was filming at close to noon.

Thoughts on the look?

EDIT: Since a few have asked, this color grade comes from a tutorial from the Youtuber KC Ian. The mods block links in the posts it seems. I responded to a comment here with a link to the exact tutorial.

The important thing to keep in mind is the Color Space Transform.

For Osmo Pocket 3, I use this CST:

• Input Color space: DJI G-Gamut
• Input Gamma: Rec709

From there, I grade in DVG then output to Rec709.
